"There are thousands of citizens' associations and unions working constructively in our country, but far from all of them are geared toward defending people's real interests," Putin said toward the end of his speech. "For some of these organizations, the priority is rather different obtaining funding from influential foreign or domestic foundations. For others it is servicing dubious groups and commercial interests." This statement, which seems to imply that only the state's agenda is "constructive" and seems to resent the "influence" of nonstate groups, points directly to a key paradox that has bedeviled Putin's entire term in office building a vibrant society with the active participation of the public at all levels without giving up control of where that society is going. Putin concluded his speech by noting: "I believe that the creation of a free society of free people in Russia is our most important task, as well as the most complex one. It is the most important because an individual who is not free and not independent is incapable of taking care of himself, his family or his motherland. It is complex because freedom is not always valued, and even rarer is the ability to use it."

One of the most significant events in the recent history of Central Asia may have actually occurred in Kyiv in late 2004, when thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest falsified election results. Those protests eventually swept Viktor Yushchenko to Ukraine's presidency in a political upheaval the world now knows as the Orange Revolution. In the early days of 2005, change in Ukraine, and similar events in Georgia a year earlier, has emboldened opposition movements in Central Asia and unnerved rulers who have been in power since the break-up of the Soviet Union. Whether the future holds crackdown or crackup, events in Georgia and Ukraine are increasingly creating the context for Central Asian politics, as recent developments in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan vividly demonstrate.

SUMMARY The NGO PHorum was set up by the Department of Health in 1999 following publication of the white paper Our Healthier Nation , which recognised that the NGO sector offers much public health expertise and experience. Today, it is managed by the HDA and has more than 70 members. Government policy and plans they have had an opportunity to influence include the health inequalities delivery plan, the Food and Health Action Plan and Derek Wanless' latest public health report. What do the National Heart Forum, the Consumers' Association, the Scarman Trust and Allergy UK all have in common? Clearly they are all non-governmental organisations (NGOs). But in addition, they are all members of the NGO PHorum, an organisation set up to ensure they have a say in public health policy at the highest level. 'Most government areas have links to NGOs, but before the PHorum was set up there was no easy way of informing and consulting with the sector at national level,' explains Karen Bollan, PHorum development manager at the HDA. She adds: 'It helps policy makers better understand the NGO sector and ensures policy and practice can benefit from NGO learning and experience.' The idea for a forum was first mooted in 1999 in the government white paper

HOME PROGRAMME PROJECTS PARTNERS ... CONTACT US BUDGET MONITORING IN GHANAE BUDGET MONITORING IN GHANA: WHAT LESSONS FOR NIGERIA? by YAKUBU ZAKARIA Programme Officer, Democracy and Good Governance / Economic Literacy; HBF Nigeria, Lagos Introduction Budget Monitoring in Nigeria Perhaps because of the widely held notion of lack of transparency among Nigerian politicians, NGOs working on the budget are often more confrontational than those in Ghana. This confrontational role by Nigerian NGOs on budget matters often creates an unhealthy rivalry and a gap between the NGOs and public officials. In addition, the various budgetary monitoring efforts by NGOs are left in specific locations and do not often get the attention of the general public and the government in particular. In view of the crucial role of the budget in national development it suggested, local NGOs in Nigeria should take budget-monitoring work more seriously. Key Lessons from the ISODEC Approach Although the budget monitoring and advocacy work initiated by ISODEC is very recent, with its first publication in 2001, there are still some crucial lessons to be learnt. Some the lessons are as follows:

The National Intelligence Council routinely sponsors such unclassified conferences with outside experts to gain knowledge and insight to sharpen the level of debate on critical issues. Strategic Estimates Program Summary In a recent conference, trade experts identified three primary reasons the World Trade Organization (WTO) failed to launch a new trade Round at its December 1999 Ministerial. First, leading members were unable to resolve differences on critical issues prior to the gathering. In addition, many developing countries and nongovernmental organizations were more assertive than they had been at previous conferences. Finally, in recent years, the WTO has expanded the range of issues it addresses, which has made efforts to reach a consensus on any point more difficult.

This understanding and commitment is acquired by students through engagement in development work with international non-government organizations (NGOs) in developing countries. The Students Approximately twelve students are selected each year to participant in the IDIP. Students must have a 3.0 grade point average ("B") or higher to apply and be of junior or senior class standing within the university setting. All students submit an application with recommendations and a summary statement stating why they wish to be considered as a candidate for the program.

National governments bear the responsibility for protecting their citizens from the spread of the HIV epidemic and of mitigating its worst effects once it has spread. But they are not alone in the effort. Bilateral and multilateral donors have provided both leadership and major funding for national AIDS prevention programs, especially in the poorer developing countries. And both local and international nongovernmental organizations have stepped forward to help against the epidemic, sometimes prodding reluctant governments into action. Most of the National Response Is Funded by Donors The total amount of donor funding for AIDS was estimated at approximately $300 million in 1996. The largest contributor of new funds in that year was the United States ($117 million); the European Union ($55 million) and Japan ($40 million) provided the next largest amounts of grant funding, and the World Bank provided approximately $45 million in new loan commitments that year, most of which was at concessional rates. This seemingly large amount of money is, however, only about 6 percent of total donor health assistance to developing countries. Nevertheless, since AIDS expenditures represent a substantial fraction of total public spending on health in some developing countries, observers have asked whether too large a proportion of health resources is devoted to AIDS in these countries relative to other health problems.

Zutshi — former Indian Ambassador to WTO STATUS OF PUBLIC SERVICES Summary of the discussion: The GATS does not define "public services" per se, nor does it contain any prescription as to how such services should be provided, whether by private of public suppliers, or regulated. The Agreement excludes from its coverage all services provided in the exercise of governmental authority, which are defined as those supplied neither on a commercial basis nor in competition with other suppliers. It was generally observed that the scope of this carve-out is not clear, and that the terms involved are not defined. A number of speakers called for an authoritative interpretation of this provision by the Council for Trade in Services. Others wondered about the legal status of the Preamble to the GATS, which recognizes Members' right to regulate on the supply of services to meet national policy objectives.

FEATURES Introduction SGI QUARTERLY Current Issue Previous Issues VIEWPOINT Articles Feature Partnerships for Peacebuilding: Canadian NGO-Government Relations By Janet Durno, Coordinator, Canadian Peacebuilding Coordinating Committee In 1994, a small group of Canadian NGO representatives met with Kumar Rupesinghe of International Alert (U.K.) to discuss the role of NGOs in peacebuilding. Inspired by Mr. Rupesinghe's challenge to Canadian NGOs to create a coalition for the nonmilitary prevention of war and preventive diplomacy, the Ad Hoc Working Group on NGOs and Peacebuilding was formed. The first formalized meetings on peacebuilding between the Canadian government and NGOs also began in 1994 with the initiation of the Peacebuilding Contact Group, jointly convened and chaired by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and an NGO representative. After a 1995 conference, the Ad Hoc Working Group expanded into the Canadian Peacebuilding Coordinating Committee (CPCC), a network of NGOs, institutes, academics and individuals. Land mine-affected Kurdish communities in Northern Iraq face risks on a daily basis. The "Ottawa Process," involving close cooperation between the Canadian government and NGOs active in the International Campaign to Ban land Mines, was instrumental in having the convention against land mines adopted and ratified in record time.
