I would like to pass on this invitation to BPW Federations to add your support to International Anti-Corruption Day on December 9. The United Nations Against Corruption Today (ACT) website explains the impacts of corruption and the initiatives involved in combating it. Action against corruption has links to many BPW programmes and I encourage BPW Federations to respond in whatever way you can. Read the suggestions from ACT.

Chères BPW,

Pour célébrer la journée de la Femme Rurale et surtout dans le cadre de la préparation de la 56ème Conférence des Nations Unies sur le statut de la Femme du 27 février au 9 mars 2012 lisez l’article 14 qui fait un zoom sur les femmes rurales
1. Les Etats parties tiennent compte des problèmes particuliers qui se posent aux femmes rurales et du rôle important que ces femmes jouent dans la survie économique de leurs familles, notamment par leur travail dans les secteurs non monétaires de l’économie, et prennent toutes les mesures appropriées pour assurer l’application des dispositions de la présente Convention aux femmes des zones rurales.

2. Les Etats parties prennent toutes les mesures appropriées pour éliminer la discrimination à l’égard des femmes dans les zones rurales afin d’assurer, sur la base de l’égalité de l’homme et de la femme, leur participation au développement rural et à ses avantages et, en particulier, ils leur assurent le droit :

1. De participer pleinement à l’élaboration et à l’exécution des plans de développement à tous les échelons;

3. De bénéficier directement des programmes de sécurité sociale;
4. De recevoir tout type de formation et d’éducation, scolaires ou non, y compris en matière d’alphabétisation fonctionnelle, et de pouvoir bénéficier de tous les services communautaires et de vulgarisation, notamment pour accroître leurs compétences techniques;
5. D’organiser des groupes d’entraide et des coopératives afin de permettre l’égalité de chances sur le plan économique, qu'il s'agisse de travail salarié ou de travail indépendant;
6. De participer à toutes les activités de la communauté;
7. D’avoir accès au crédit et aux prêts agricoles, ainsi qu'aux services de commercialisation et aux technologies appropriées, et de recevoir un traitement égal dans les réformes foncières et agraires et dans les projets d’aménagement rural;
8. De bénéficier de conditions de vie convenables, notamment en ce qui concerne le logement, l’assainissement, l’approvisionnement en électricité et en eau, les transports et les communications.

Introduction of the Division and division programs was covered by Peter WOBST and Nora OURABAH HADDAD

Peter WOBST, Senior Economist talked about the Farmers Field School (FFS) program - youth rural employment.
The JFFLS approach has a unique learning methodology and curriculum, which combine both agricultural and life skills. An innovative aspect of the JFFLS is the way youth are encouraged to develop as people; a school timetable includes cultural activities such as singing, dancing, and theatre. This allows the youth to develop confidence while keeping local cultural traditions alive.

Nora OURABAH HADDAD, Institution Building Team Leader Group, presents briefly the Gender Agriculture program and the collaboration with Dimitra. This program is only for the moment in Niger. We proposed to contact BPW Niamey in Niger for this program.
- Dimitra is a participatory information and communication project which contributes to improving the visibility of rural populations, women in particular.
General principles for Good Agricultural Practices - FAO is not defining a rigid set of principles but provides a technical reference for concerned stakeholders to assess existing GAP schemes and, using best expertise available, develop locally-appropriate good agricultural practice programmes.
Institution Building Team Leader Group, managed by Nora OURABAH HADDAD is a Group that has been created recently at the FAO.  Its goal is to connect NGOs and Civil Society with the local and governmental Institutions in the different countries.


The meeting started at 3 pm and adjourned at 4: 15pm. Picture was taken after the meeting.

Dear BPW Members,

The theme for CSW 56 is "The empowerment of rural women and their role in poverty and hunger eradication, development and current challenges". 

Many of our UN Representatives have been attending preparatory meetings over the past year and I believe that our Members have also been preparing at
national level in committee groups. 

For Members interested in attending CSW 56 next year, we now need concerted action.

As you know, BPW International will organize its own activities at CSW 56, however the process will start during the Rural Women's Day/FAO Day Celebration in October 2011 in Rome. At a Side Event in Rome we will start the planning for CSW 56 in February 2012 in New York. 

Prior to the event we need to receive details from our Members of any projects you are involved in at a rural level with women that are aligned with BPW's WEPs initiative and the CSW 56 theme. We will then be able to promote your project all over the world.

A questionnaire is now available for Members to submit details of their projects. Please click on the link to access the questionnaire. Survey for
Preparation of CSW

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/609967/Survey-for-Agricultural-Projects-for-Preparation-of-CSW-2012

Communication N°1

Commission de la condition de la femme (CSW 56)

New York, 27 février - 9 mars 2012

Thème : L’autonomisation des femmes rurales

Chers Membres BPW,

Le thème de la 56ème session de la prochaine CSW sera « l’autonomisation des femmes rurales et leur rôle dans l’éradication de la pauvreté et de la faim, le développement et les défis actuels ».

Beaucoup de nos Membres Représentants  Permanents aux Nations Unies ont déjà entamé, depuis un an,  des réunions préparatoires  et je crois que tous nos membres BPW à travers le monde  se préparent également au niveau national, lors de leurs réunions de comités.

Pour celles de nos membres qui sont intéressées par une participation à la CSW 56 l’an prochain, nous allons devoir préparer une action concertée.

Bien sur, BPW International organisera ses propres activités,  mais le processus commencera en Octobre 2011 a Rome,  lors de la célébration du Rural Women Day/FAO Day.  A cette occasion,  un évènement parallèle sera organisé par BPW International pour planifier les actions à prendre en vue de la CSW 56 de New York en Février 2012.

Afin de recueillir et sélectionner les projets de nos membres, j’ai le plaisir de vous informer  qu’un questionnaire est disponible pour recueillir le détail de vos projets.  Ce questionnaire  - en relation avec les initiatives de BPW dans le cadre du programme ‘Weps’  « les principes de renforcement des capacités des femmes » et de nos initiatives en vue de la CSW 56 - est maintenant disponible  sur notre site.

Nous  vous demandons de bien vouloir remplir ce questionnaire et de nous le renvoyer avant le 15 Septembre prochain, en cliquant sur le lien ci-join

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/609967/Survey-for-Agricultural-Projects-for-Preparation-of-CSW-2012

Notre  objectif  est de créer une liste des projets  impliquant des femmes en milieu rural.   En nous communiquant ces informations,  vous nous permettez de mieux connaitre vos initiatives et des les promouvoir à travers le monde !

Toute l’information collectée a travers ce questionnaire   sera ensuite :

• Incluse dans la base de données BPW des Projets Régionaux
• Reliée aux initiatives de BPW dans le cadre du Programmes ‘Weps’
• Reliée aux initiatives de BPW sur le thème de la  CSW 56

A cette occasion, il sera aussi envisagé d’octroyer des Bourses  qui reconnaitront les meilleurs projets, et ces projets pourront ensuite être présentés par leurs initiateurs lors de la CSW 56 à New York.

J’ai entendu parler de beaucoup de projets intéressants ā travers le monde sur ce sujet, et me réjouis de recevoir vos témoignages ! Et si vous souhaitez contribuer ā la Déclaration de BPW pour la prochaine  CSW, ou apporter votre avis d’Expert, merci de contacter le Bureau de la Présidente.

Comunicación N°1

Comisión de la Condición de la Mujer (CSW 56)

Nueva York, 27 de febrero – 9 de marzo 2012

Tema : El empoderamiento de las mujeres rurales

Estimadas socias BPW,

El tema de la 56o Sesión de la próxima CSW será « el empoderamiento de las mujeres rurales y su rol en la erradicación de la pobreza y del hambre, en el desarrollo y los desafíos actuales».

Muchas de nuestras socias Representantes Permanentes ante las Naciones Unidas, han iniciado ya, desde hace un año, reuniones preparatorias y creo que todas nuestras socias BPW en el mundo, se preparan también al nivel nacional, en sus reuniones de comités.

Para aquellas de nuestras socias que estuvieren interesadas en participar a CSW 56 el año próximo, vamos a preparar una acción concertada.

Está claro que la BPW International organizará sus propias actividades, pero el proceso comenzará en octubre de 2011 en Roma, durante la celebración  del Día de la Mujer Rural/Jornada FAO. En esta ocasión, un evento paralelo será organizado por la BPW International para planificar las acciones que deberán llevarse a cabo en preparación de la CSW 56 en Nueva York, en febrero de 2012.

Con el fin de recoger y seleccionar los proyectos de nuestras socias, tengo el placer de informarle que un cuestionario está disponible para recoger el detalle de sus proyectos.  Este cuestionario - en relación con las iniciativas de la BPW en el marco del programa ‘Weps’  «principios de reforzamiento de las capacidades de las mujeres » y de nuestras iniciativas para la CSW 56 – está ahora disponible en nuestra página Web.

Les solicitamos que tengan la bondad de llenar el cuestionario y enviárnoslo antes del 15 de septiembre próximo, haciendo un clic en el enlace adjunto. >>>>>>> . Survey for Preparation of CSW (o hacer un clic en el enlace): http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/609967/Survey-for-Agricultural-Projects-for-Preparation-of-CSW-2012)

Nuestro objetivo es crear una lista de proyectos involucrando a las mujeres en el medio rural. Al comunicarnos estas informaciones, nos permitirán conocer mejor sus iniciativas y ¡promoverlas en todo el mundo!

Toda la información recogida con este cuestionario, será luego:

• Incluida en la base de datos BPW de Proyectos Regionales
• Ligada a las iniciativas BPW en el marco del Programa ‘Weps’
• Ligada a las iniciativas BPW sobre el tema de la  CSW 56

En esta oportunidad también se planea otorgar becas en reconocimiento a los mejores proyectos y esos proyectos podrán luego ser presentados por sus iniciadoras, en la CSW 56 en Nueva York.

He oído hablar mucho de proyectos interesantes en el mundo sobre ese tema y ¡espero ansiosa recibir sus testimonios! Y, si desea contribuir a la Declaración de la BPW para la próxima  CSW o darnos su opinión como Experta, sírvase ponerse en contacto con la Oficina de la Presidente.
