The British High Commission has announced that it is providing ¢715m (£65,000) of funding for two human rights projects under its Human Rights Project Fund.
A press release from the High Commission said funding is to be provided to the Social Enterprise Development Foundation of West Africa (SEND) to implement a "Gender, Human Rights and Peace Education Project" in the Eastern Corridor districts of East Gonja and Nanumba in Northern Region, and Keta Krachi in Volta Region.

Coexist or co-destruct, philanthropist advises
By Orly Halpern
"Before my first visit to Israel in 1988, I was curious about meeting Arabs. I was at a Herzliya hotel and asked my hosts at dinner about them. Everyone looked at me as if I was slightly daffy," recalls Alan B. Slifka, a New York businessman-cum-philanthropist who this week gave away almost $1 million to support Jewish-Arab projects in Israel.
"They didn't know Arabs, didn't have them on their boards, and didn't understand why I was interested in them. Relations between Arabs and Jews were practically nonexistent and I discovered there was no mainstream organization working to enhance relations between the two peoples."
[snip]
He thus decided to make coexistence his calling, and began to work to promote education toward coexistence at government, regional and community levels in Israel. To that end, in 1989, Slifka co-founded The Abraham Fund (TAF), named after the revered forefather of both Jews and Muslims, which he says is the only not-for-profit organization whose sole goal is to promote coexistence among Israel's Jews and Arabs. He travels to Israel every month to keep abreast of developments.

Conflict in West Africa--USAID
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is soliciting applications from U.S. private voluntary organizations, U.S. not-for-profit organizations and U.S. universities with the requisite capability and experience to conduct a program aimed at providing Technical Assistance and training in conflict prevention and governance for the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) and Civil Society Organizations.
For-profit organizations may also submit applications; however, they will not be entitled to receive a fee or profit for this activity. Subject to availability of funds, it is anticipated that one Cooperative Agreement will be awarded through a process to be described in the RFA. In order to achieve this objective, USAID's West Africa Regional Program (WARP) has budgeted $908,700 to support a program of Technical Assistance and training in conflict prevention and governance for ECOWAS and civil society organizations.
All questions related to this notice and requests for a copy of the RFA must be addressed in writing by letter, fax, or email to the POC at the address stated above. Specify the RFA requested and include your complete firm name, street address, telephone and fax numbers and email address. No telephone requests will be honored. The issuance date of the RFA is expected to be on or about May 15, 2002.
The closing date for submission of applications will be approximately 45 days after the actual issuance date. The preferred method of distribution of USAID Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) information is via the Internet. (By exception, USAID can provide solicitations on a 3.5" floppy disk (Microsoft 97 format), via e-mail, or in hard copy.) This pre-solicitation notice can be viewed and downloaded using the Agency Web Site. The solicitation, once issued, can be downloaded from the Agency web site. You are encouraged to access the solicitation via the Internet as this eliminates possible delays associated with ma! iling, in general, and particularly from overseas Missions.
The US Web address is http://www.usaid.gov. Select "Business and Procurement" from the home page, then "USAID Procurements." On the following screen, select "Download Available USAID Solicitations". Here you will see a list of all new solicitations. You must confirm in writing to the contact person noted above that you have received this solicitation through the Internet. As the recipient of this solicitation document, you are responsible for ensuring that you have received it from INTERNET in its entirety. USAID bears no responsibility for data errors resulting from transmission or conversion processes. Further, be aware that amendments to solicitations are occasionally issued and will be posted on the same Internet site from which you downloaded the solicitation. Generally, the Agreement Officer will issue amendments to all those who have sent in the written confirmation of solicitation receipt. However, USAID does not guarantee that an amendment will be issued to you directly base! d upon written confirmation that you have downloaded the solicitation from the Internet. Therefore, you are advised to regularly check the USAID Internet site for amendments.

Peace fellowships--US Institute of Peace
April 29, 2002
The Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace awards Senior Fellowships and Peace Scholar Dissertation Fellowships to enable outstanding scholars, policymakers, journalists, and other professionals to conduct research on important issues concerning international conflict and peace. The program disseminates knowledge from these projects within the Institute and among policymakers, and it works closely with the Institute's Press to publish the products of fellows' research. Named for the former United States Senator from West Virginia, whose efforts over four decades helped establish the Institute, the Jennings Randolph Program has awarded over 200 fellowships since 1987.
The competition favors applications that demonstrate a project's consistency with the Institute's congressional mandate, which is to serve the American people through research, education, training, and the dissemination of information about the nature of interstate or civil conflict and peaceful ways to manage and resolve it.
Project proposals that deal with the sources and nature of interstate or civil conflict, with ways to prevent, limit, or end violent conflict, and with post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation are welcome. Proposals should present a research agenda with a clear relevance to policy issues, although a policy dimension need not be the main thrust of the project. Historical topics are appropriate if they promise to shed light on contemporary issues. Area studies projects and single-case studies will be competitive if they demonstrate a focus on conflict and its resolution, as well as the applicability of the research to other regions around the world.
Senior Fellowships, 2003-2004
The United States Institute of Peace invites applications for the 2003-2004 Senior Fellowship competition in the Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace. Fellowships are awarded annually to scholars and practitioners from a variety of professions, including college and university faculty, journalists, diplomats, writers, educators, military officers, international negotiators and lawyers. The Institute funds projects related to preventive diplomacy, ethnic and regional conflicts, peacekeeping and peace operations, peace settlements, post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation, democratization and the rule of law, cross-cultural negotiations, U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century, and related topics. Fellows reside at the Institute for a period of up to ten months to conduct research on their projects, consult with staff, and contribute to the ongoing work of the Institute. Projects which demonstrate relevance to current policy debates will be highly competitive!
. The fellowship award includes a stipend based on the fellow's previous year's salary and professional standing, up to a maximum of $80,000 for a ten-month fellowship; an office with computer and voicemail; and a part-time research assistant. The competition is open to citizens of all nations. Women and members of minorities are especially encouraged to apply. All application materials must be received in our offices by September 16, 2002.
