Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program

The National Endowment for Democracy is pleased to announce the
establishment of the Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program to enable
democracy activists, practitioners, scholars, and journalists from
around the world to deepen their understanding of and enhance their
ability to promote democracy. The Endowment plans to host its first
cohort of fellows in Fall 2001. Reagan-Fascell Fellows are in residence
at the International Forum for Democratic Studies, located in
Washington, DC.

The International Forum hosts 12-15 fellows per year for three to ten
months each. Each fellow receives a monthly stipend for living expenses
plus health insurance and reimbursement for travel to and from
Washington, D.C. Stipend levels range from a minimum of $3500/month to a
maximum of $7500/month, taking into account the fellow's previous annual
income, level of experience, and the cost of living in Washington, D.C.
Limited funds are available for travel in the United States.
Reagan-Fascell Fellows are also provided with an office, computer, and
telephone; access to library services, fax and copy machines, and the
Internet; and an opportunity to interact with other scholars and
democratic activists from various regions of the world.

Applicants for Reagan-Fascell fellowships must choose between two
tracks: a practitioner track (typically three to five months) to improve
strategies and techniques for building democracy and to exchange
information with counterparts in the United States; and a research and
writing track (typically five to ten months) to conduct original
research for publication.

Eligibility: The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program is intended
primarily to support practitioners and scholars from new and aspiring
democracies. Distinguished scholars from the U.S. and other established
democracies are also eligible to apply. Practitioners are expected to
have substantial experience working to promote democracy. Applicants who
will focus on research and writing are expected to have a Ph.D. or, for
non-academics, to have published in an area of expertise. The program is
not designed to support students working toward a degree.

Application: Applications should be sent by air mail and, if possible by
e-mail, to the address below and should consist of the following
materials:

Eight copies of a 5-10 page description of the proposed project,
including an indication of the proposed track to be pursued while in DC.
Those choosing the practitioner track should: 1) describe the work that
they have been doing to advance democracy; 2) explain what they hope to
accomplish through the fellowship, identifying a feasible fellowship
project that takes into account the specific resources that they would
draw on and the activities they would undertake; 3) provide a
preliminary outline of the fellowship product (short article, policy
memorandum, etc.); and 4) discuss how the fellowship will strengthen
their ability to conduct their work and contribute to the more effective
promotion of democracy in their country or region.

Those choosing the research and writing track should: 1) discuss how
their project will advance public understanding of the theory or
practice of democracy; 2) briefly describe how the proposed research
relates to or extends existing literature on the subject; 3) indicate
how a fellowship at the International Forum in Washington, D.C., will
facilitate this research; and 4) provide a preliminary description of
the proposed written product (article, monograph, or book).


Eight copies of a detailed CV or resume
An indication of the preferred starting date and desired duration of
fellowship Three letters of reference Applications should be sent by
airmail and e-mail (as MS Word attachments)

Hi Adrian,

This issue was rampant during communism as abortion was forbidden then.
After their fall maternity hospitals have been aloowed to do abortions and
women largely prefer them to individuals. Anyhow you might be better informed
then I am about this issue. I would send this message around but the list you
sent it to is more a list of Albanians in the US. You have better chance
of finding info by getting in touch with women non-for-profit
organization in Albania (UNDP has info about who they are) and/or by
going down there yourself.

Best of luck,
Erkanda Bujari

Message-ID: <Pine.GS4.4.44.0205241158140.27787-100000@alb-net.com>

Thursday, 23 May, 2002, 15:16 GMT 16:16 UK

UN vetoes Kosovo border resolution

- Ethnic Albanian MPs want Kosovo's full independence -

The United Nations mission in Kosovo has taken the unprecendented step of
invalidating a resolution taken by the province's local assembly, which was
seeking to challenge a territorial settlement.

- Steiner struck the motion down within minutes of its adoption -

The UN administrator in Kosovo, Michael Steiner, within minutes declared
"null and void" the resolution adopted by the ethnic Albanian-dominated
assembly which rejected a border agreement between Yugoslavia and
Macedonia.

Kosovo, which borders Macedonia, legally remains part of Yugoslavia. The
unanimously passed resolution is being viewed as an attempt by the province
to act as an independent state.

The incident is also seen as the most serious rift in relations between the
province's ethnic Albanian leadership and the UN since the world body took
charge of the province in June 1999.

The vote is also likely to earn strong criticism from Belgrade - and has
already prompted a walkout from the assembly by the Serb deputies.

Warnings

Ethnic Albanian MPs - who press for Kosovo's outright independence - have
been unhappy with the border agreement between Yugoslavia and Macedonia
since it was signed last year.

They say that over 4,000 hectares of land were removed from Kosovo without
any consultation with the local population.

The BBC's Nicholas Wood in Pristina says that while some UN officials have
sympathised with the MP's grievances, the UN Security Council and the
European Union, have warned that the assembly has no rights to discuss
issues affecting the region's borders or internal security.

Letters from the Security Council and the EU not to go ahead with the vote
were presented to the assembly before the session.

They warned that Kosovo's reputation would be damaged if the motion was
adopted.

Walkout

Nevertheless, the assembly went ahead with the resolution.

 - Rugova leads the independence-seeking assembly -

This in turn prompted the Serbian deputies to leave the parliament, saying
they would no longer take part in the assembly or the province's government
unless the motion was rejected.

The 120-strong Kosovo's first multi-ethnic assembly opened its inaugural
session in December 2001, following elections the month before.

But the UN retained the final say on the most contentious policy issues,
banning the assembly to vote for the province's independence.

Post Title: Special Assistant to the UN Development Coordinator/UNDP
Programme Officer
Practice Area: Development Coordination
Duration of Assignment: One year, with possible extension
Educational Background: University education in Social Sciences, Local

Work Experience: 1-3 years in a related field
Tentative Starting Date: early June 2002
Deadline for Application: 30 May 2002

Duty Station: Prishtine/ Pristina, Kosovo

The post of Special Assistant to the DC/Programme Officer is cost-shared
50% between UNDP's own administrative budget and funds provided to support
the UN Development Coordinator function in Kosovo. As a result, the
incumbent has dual reporting lines - to the UN/DC and to the UNDP Deputy
Resident Representative who is responsible for UNDP's operations on a
day-to-day basis.

Under the overall guidance of the Resident Representative and the direct
supervision of the Deputy Representative, the Assistant to the UN
Development Coordinator/ UNDP Programme Officer will perform the following
tasks:

Special Assistant to the UN Development Coordinator (50% of time)

The UN Development Group has been established to enhance and ensure
coordination amongst the UN agencies in Kosovo and to implement the UN
Reform Agenda as well as to carry out special assignments given by the UN
Secretary General or the UNDP Administrator in this regard. The UN Reform
Agenda is based on the following elements: support to collaborative and
more integrated UN programming; follow-up to global UN conferences;
establishment of common services; and UN Public Information and Advocacy.
The UN Development Coordinator for Kosovo is appointed by the UN Secretary
General.

In Kosovo, the UN Development Group (UNDG) consists of fifteen UN
specialized agencies and affiliates, including the World Bank. In addition
to the primary function of coordination within the resident UN agencies,
the Development Coordinator serves as a liaison between UNMIK, the donor
community, and the PISG. The key areas of focus for 2002 will be on the
further development and implementation of a UN Development Assistance
Framework (UNDAF), initiation of joint-programming, and extensive
collaboration with UNMIK and the newly elected government.

The role of the Special Assistant to the UNDC in Kosovo is primarily
focused on providing support to the UNDC in his efforts to implement
activities in these areas of focus. The Assistant will report directly to
the UNDC while working closely with the UN Country Team and the UNDP
Programme Staff.

With an overall view to improve national capacity to manage and coordinate
ODA and to promote coordination and collaboration with the donor
community, the Special Assistant is responsible for:

Donor Coordination: Support the facilitation of closer linkages between
the UNDG and the donor community, including resource mobilisation for
activities implemented in support of the UNDAF.
Development Coordination: Overall facilitation of coordination amongst
resident UN agencies, coordinate all activities emanating from the UNDC
office, facilitate use of coordination and planning tools such as CCA,
UNDAF, etc.
Programme Development: Facilitate the development of harmonised and
joint-programming initiatives amongst UN agencies, collaboratively develop
programmes and projects to support the UNDAF.
Global Agenda: Ensure UN Country Team follow-up to Millennium Development
Goals, global conferences, and the Secretary-General's programme for
reform. Operate as the focal point for activities related to the
monitoring and implementation of these and other directives and reports
from HQ.
Review and Assessment: Coordinate and manage periodic reviews and
assessments of work and planning undertaken by the CT as a basis for
improving joint agency planning and performance.
Constituency Building: Work to build local networks and support the UNDC
in fostering a better understanding of the work of the UN in Kosovo,
including close consultation with media and public relations officers.

UNDP Programme Officer (50% of time)

UNDP's strategy to support the transition process in Kosovo aims to
support the goals of the United Nations and the Kosovo Government in
consolidating the peace-building process. The strategy aims above all, at
restoring confidence - of the people of Kosovo (particularly youth, the
unemployed and the vulnerable) - in their future, between different
communities within Kosovo, between Kosovo and its international partners
and between Kosovo and its regional neighbours.

UNDP's programmes for the transition are anchored around three flag-ship
programmes that will both provide the greatest impact on the peace process
and leverage best UNDP's natural advantages and global experience: First,
security. Second, employment and livelihoods. And third, support to local
development. UNDP will bring to bear its traditional development services
in support of these programmatic goals, in the areas of information
technology, aid coordination, human development data collection and
analysis, and civil society and youth. UNDP will harness its substantial
network from three years of programming throughout the emergency phase to
these ends.

The specific portfolio that will be assigned to the Programme Officer will
depend on his/her particular professional profile. UNDP is particularly
interested in deepening its expertise in the areas of (i) employment/SME;
(ii) community preventive development through social mobilization; and
(iii) municipal capacities building.

Under the direct supervision of the UNDP Deputy Resident Representative
therefore, and working with an inter-displinary team, the UNDP Programme
Officer is responsible for:

Analyze economic, social and political factors which would affect
development programmes and identifies development needs relevant to UNDP's
technical cooperation activities;
Participates in consultation with the UN system organizations and local
authorities for the preparation of programme/project documents, helps to
ensure that programmes, projects and activities to be assisted by UNDP are
properly selected;
Guides and integrates the formulation and revision of programme/project
documents required for the implementation of the UNDP Programme Framework,
providing special attention to Employment , Minority Community and/or
Municipal Capacity Building programmess and projects;
Appraises project proposals, ensuring that they are properly prepared in
accordance with UNDP policies and procedures;
Ensures proper coordination of UNDP projects with respective regional and
global programmes and projects, including those based in the RBEC Regional
Support Center in Bratislava; supports regional and sub-regional
networking activities;
Monitors day-to-day programming/project implementation; supervises all
administrative activities required on the part of UNDP to maintain the
flow of resources and to eliminate obstacles; guides and orients the
efforts and contributions of consultants, programme/project personnel,
other donors and local institutions towards the achievement of programme
objectives; coordinates and participates in programme/project evaluation
activities and follow-up;
Supports and coordinates advocacy and public awareness activities on UNDP
programmes;
Performs any other duties assigned by the Deputy Resident Representative.

Requirements:

Most importantly, the role of Special Assistant requires someone with very
strong communication skills, judgement and tact; he/she routinely
interacts with senior UN and Government Officials on behalf of the
Development Coordinator and must ensure a positive image of the Office is
projected at all times. The Special Assistant's role is decisive in
ensuring effective inter-agency collaboration.

Educational Background:

*University education in Social Sciences, Local Development, Conflict
Analysis, Economics or related fields

Level of Experience and General Skills:

Kosovo,
Experience in programme design, monitoring and evaluation as well as

I take this opportunity to invite you all to these two performances: those of you who have young children who would enjoy a two hour artistic performance by other bright and promising children from New York City and elsewhere, and also those of you who would delight in the poetry of Rumi and the presence of the American actress Susan Sarandon, among other things. Your presence would not only help make our events more successful but also present the hope for the completion of a school and of a better education for a few hundred children in Kabul, Afghanistan, for whom AAWO is organizing and sponsoring these performances.

Hope to see you there.

Yours sincerely,

Xhuliana Agolli

UN vetoes Kosovo border resolution

- Ethnic Albanian MPs want Kosovo's full independence -

The United Nations mission in Kosovo has taken the unprecendented step of
invalidating a resolution taken by the province's local assembly, which was
seeking to challenge a territorial settlement.

- Steiner struck the motion down within minutes of its adoption -

The UN administrator in Kosovo, Michael Steiner, within minutes declared
"null and void" the resolution adopted by the ethnic Albanian-dominated
assembly which rejected a border agreement between Yugoslavia and
Macedonia.

Kosovo, which borders Macedonia, legally remains part of Yugoslavia. The
unanimously passed resolution is being viewed as an attempt by the province
to act as an independent state.

The incident is also seen as the most serious rift in relations between the
province's ethnic Albanian leadership and the UN since the world body took
charge of the province in June 1999.

The vote is also likely to earn strong criticism from Belgrade - and has
already prompted a walkout from the assembly by the Serb deputies.

Warnings

Ethnic Albanian MPs - who press for Kosovo's outright independence - have
been unhappy with the border agreement between Yugoslavia and Macedonia
since it was signed last year.

They say that over 4,000 hectares of land were removed from Kosovo without
any consultation with the local population.

The BBC's Nicholas Wood in Pristina says that while some UN officials have
sympathised with the MP's grievances, the UN Security Council and the
European Union, have warned that the assembly has no rights to discuss
issues affecting the region's borders or internal security.

Letters from the Security Council and the EU not to go ahead with the vote
were presented to the assembly before the session.

They warned that Kosovo's reputation would be damaged if the motion was
adopted.

Walkout

Nevertheless, the assembly went ahead with the resolution.

 - Rugova leads the independence-seeking assembly -

This in turn prompted the Serbian deputies to leave the parliament, saying
they would no longer take part in the assembly or the province's government
unless the motion was rejected.

The 120-strong Kosovo's first multi-ethnic assembly opened its inaugural
session in December 2001, following elections the month before.

But the UN retained the final say on the most contentious policy issues,
banning the assembly to vote for the province's independence.
