Resources Home Fact Sheets Recent Publications Publications Library ... Download publication Introduction O n January 22, 2001—his second day in office and the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion—President George W. Bush announced the reinstatement of the restrictions on overseas health care organizations in effect during the mid-1980s and early 1990s, commonly known then as the “Mexico City Policy." The policy reversal has potentially serious ramifications for the future of U.S. support for international family planning and reproductive health programs around the world. Now referred to by family planning supporters as the global gag rule , the restrictions prohibit U.S. assistance for family planning from being provided to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that use funding from any other source to perform abortion in cases other than a threat to the life of the woman, rape, or incest; to provide counseling and referral for abortion; or to lobby to make abortion legal or more available in their own country. U.S. NGOs can continue to perform, counsel, refer, or advocate on abortion with funds from non-U.S. government sources without risking their eligibility to receive U.S. family planning assistance.

Creation of US Women Connect Beijing Platform for Action 1995 UN Fourth World Conference on Women Platform for Action , which was adopted by the 189 governments represented at the Conference obliging governments to empower women in 12 critical areas. The Platform for Action was the result of a two-year process that included meetings at the community, national and international level and which engaged thousands of women in the policy-making process, many for the first time. The Platform is not legally binding, but sets forth goals to sere as a guide for improving the lives of women and girls. The role of governments is to implement the Platform; the role of non-government organizations (NGOs) is to hold them accountable, and to assist governments in implementation. The Platform for Action is an important tool for NGO's efforts to promote the advancement of women. In June 2000, the United Nations and its member governments assessed progress in implementation of the Platform for Action. This assessment, called "

US Women Connect Initiatives 1999-2000 US Women Connect Initiatives 1999-2000 Women Action 2000 Internet Focal Point: In September 1999, US Women Connect was designated as the U.S. focal point of the NGO Global Communications Network, Women Action 2000. Women Action 2000 was created to use electronic networking among NGOs globally to assess gains and gaps in the critical areas of concern of the Platform and to share experiences on advocacy. US Women Connect's website is the US Internet gateway to key information and campaigns related to NGO advocacy and follow-up on the 1995 UN Conference on Women. Online Working Groups on Critical Areas of Concern: In spring 2000, USWC sponsored three online working groups on three areas of the Platform for Action and US Women's National Action Agenda: Women's Economic Security and Justice Girls Speak Up ; and Women in Power and Decision-Making . Each group operated for about five weeks and was moderated by an "expert," who was identified and prepared in online moderating by US Women Connect. USWC also supervised and provided ongoing technical support to the moderators. Seventy women participated in the Economic group; 25 in the Girls group; and 60 in the Decision-making group. The purpose of the online working groups was to provide a means for women and girls across the country to contribute their views to the Beijing +5 review process. Reports were prepared based on each group's deliberations, focusing on obstacles to progress and recommendations for future action which have been sent to members of the Presidents InterAgency Council on Women, selected members of Congress, and leaders of national women's organizations.

PROMOTING HEALTH AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Children's Health The eradication of polio continues to be a remarkably successful collaborative effort by the Governments of the United States and Japan. Together, our two Governments, in conjunction with organizations such as the WHO, UNICEF, and Rotary International, have virtually eliminated polio in the Western Pacific region, have made significant progress in polio eradication efforts in Southeast Asia and are expanding this program into sub-Saharan Africa. The Governments of the United States and Japan are working towards the ambitious goal of eradicating polio world-wide by the year 2000. Complementary activities in this area have focused on supporting National Immunization Days, strengthening surveillance capability, and providing vaccines and the necessary refrigeration equipment for their preservation. The two Governments have also contributed to advancing the global Children's Vaccine Initiative by increasing the availability of vaccines in developing countries and furthering research on vaccines for children. The two Governments will also explore cooperation on the control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders and support of micronutrient programs in developing countries. Population and HIV/AIDS Joint cooperation on slowing population growth and combating HIV/AIDS is one of the largest programs under the Common Agenda. Under this initiative, the Governments of the United States and Japan have sent joint project formulation missions in 1995 to the Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and India. In Kenya, locally-based U.S. and Japanese personnel carried out joint population and health sector assessment and design formulation.

In his remarks to the Diet on February 2002, President Bush pointed out the importance of cooperation between Japan and the United States in various areas such as development, education, science and environment. Many of the cooperative efforts are still on going, and these cooperative efforts will continue in various areas.

From Africa Recovery, Vol.13#1 (June 1999), page 6 Donors shift more aid to NGOs But cooperation between governments and NGOs is critical for greater effectiveness By Sam Chege A major shift in funding development in Africa, already under way for several years, is accelerating. In February US Ambassador to Kenya Prudence Bushnell announced her government would now channel most of its development aid in Africa estimated at $711.3 mn this year through non-governmental organizations (NGOs), rather than governments. A public affairs officer in the Africa Bureau at the State Department, Mr. Louis Segsvary, later explained that Ambassador Bushnell's views reflected a US policy, adopted in 1992, of working more closely with NGOs in situations where governments are widely seen as corrupt. By 1996, the US was already channeling more than 30 per cent of its aid through NGOs. The US stance is being followed, to varying degrees, by other major donors. Britain and Germany, whose combined aid to sub-Saharan Africa totaled $2.5 bn in 1996-97, have also been urging African governments to eradicate corruption or face cuts in aid. France, which in 1996-97 gave more than $2.6 bn (making it the biggest single donor to sub-Saharan Africa), recently said it was overhauling its bilateral aid to make it more efficient and transparent. Less than two months after the announcement by Ambassador Bushnell, Mr. Jelte van Wiueren, the cultural attache in the Dutch embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, told journalists that his government, which spent $835 mn in development assistance to sub-Saharan Africa in 1996-97, will also decrease direct aid to governments and give more to NGOs.

36. Will NGOs Save Ukraine? institutions, the us government, various research and think tanks, and numerousfoundations have poured billions of dollars into the creation of ngos in CEE http://www.civilsoc.org/resource/ukraingo.htm

The Ukrainian Weekly #35, August 31, 1997 The Ukrainian Weekly Will NGOs save Ukraine? by Myron B. Kuropas In the minds of many U.S. government officials, the future of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) depends on the ability of the people to organize themselves into non-governmental organizations or NGOs. NGOs are private associations, federations, unions, societies, and groups not founded or funded by the government. When it comes to servicing the poor, providing low cost services, building grass-roots organizations, and adapting or creating innovative programs to meet local needs, it is clear that in many instances, NGOs can often accomplish more than government agencies. Old-line NGOs in our community are the Ukrainian National Association and the Selfreliance Federal Credit Unions. Voluntarism is as American as apple pie. It is a unique American way of getting things done, an integral part of our civil society. Alexis de Tocqueville noticed this as early as 1832 and wrote about it in Democracy in America, his classic critique of life in the United States. "Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions, constantly form associations," he wrote. "They have not only commercial and manufacturing companies, in which all take part, but associations of a thousand other kinds ­ religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive. The Americans make associations to give entertainments, to found seminaries, to build inns, to construct churches, to diffuse books to send missionaries to the antipodes; they found in this manner hospitals, prisons, or schools. If it be proposed to inculcate some truth, or to foster some feeling by the encouragement of a great example, they form a society."

Albright Samuel R. Berger Secretary of State Assistant to the President U.S. Department of State for National Security Affairs 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. 2201 C Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20520 Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Madam Secretary and Mr. Berger: As organizations closely monitoring the deteriorating situation in Sierra Leone, we appeal to you to commit the United States to more meaningful action for peace in that country. "A nightmare is unfolding in the civil war in Sierra Leone ... ," reads a recent Washington Post editorial. "The fighting is now overwhelming what national forces of order remain, leaving a desperate civilian population abandoned and defenseless; an international force does what it can." Sierra Leone's nightmare has been unfolding for eight years now. As the fighting reaches the more populous coast, the surging flow of refugees has finally caught the attention of the world. What distinguishes this conflict from others waged in the region is the widespread use of terror as a weapon. Rape and kidnaping of civilians have become commonplace. The insurgents, who lack popular support, have committed barbaric reprisals against anyone suspected of favoring the democratically elected government. Villagers are burned alive not only men, but women and children. Victims whose hands or feet have been hacked off serve as a warning to others.

More than six million people in Zimbabwe, formerly the breadbasket of southern Africa, face starvation. The government has stepped up food imports despite limited financial resources, a poor response to its international appeal and an increasingly negative perception of the country abroad. The impasse between Zimbabwe's 2,900 white commercial farmers and the government has done little to help the country's efforts to ensure that no one starves.

Photo by HOWARD BURDITT BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe (AlertNet) - The start of emergency food aid deliveries provided by the U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) this month is the tangible sign of a crisis denied by the government but which NGOs fear may become life-threatening. Stocks are low as a result of floods two years ago, combined with a long dry spell and patchy rains that have led to revised yields expected this year. Norbert Dube, spokesman for six NGOs working in Zimbabwe, told AlertNet: "The food situation we are facing is an open secret. The situation is bad, there is no funding and the food has run out in some areas. We are likely to record some deaths of children in some of the areas."
