By Whom?..and For What Purpose? This two volume guidebook was designed and produced by the World Women's Veterinary Association (WWVA) in collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in Canada.The guidebook is intended to provide a "road map" to issues, international networks and policy initiatives in the domain of "gender in science and technology" in preparation for the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women which is scheduled to be held in September, 1995, in Beijing China. The International Development Research Centre (IDRC), designated by the Prime Minister of Canada as an "Agenda 21" Agency at the UNCED in Rio de Janeiro, is encouraging all those who are working towards the Beijing Conference to build on the 1985 Nairobi "Forward Looking Strategy" and the Rio "Agenda 21" by supporting research to inform policy and action in the sphere of gender and sustainable and equitable development. The World Women's Veterinary Association (WWVA) is a global network of women professionals committed to the advancement of women in the sciences and dedicated to application of the science of veterinary medicine for the alleviation of poverty through field projects, programs and policies with a particular focus on the world's most vulnerable populations- women and children.

    E AFRICA FUME E AFRICA FUME YEA A QUARTER CENTURY SUPPORTING FREEDOM v v v HONOREES WALTER SISULU was elected Deputy President of the African National Congress at its July 1991 conference. He has been Nelson Mandela's closest political associate for over thirty years. Before they were both imprisoned on Robben Island, he was the ANC's General Secretary, known as the "Lion of the ANC" for his courage and determination. Since his release from prison Sisulu has been centrally engaged in re-organizing the ANC inside the country. A LBERTINA SISULU was elected Deputy President of the African National Congress Women's League at its first national conference in April 1991. She joined the ANC Women's League in the early 1940's and participated in dozens of protests, including the 1958 burning of pass books. After the ANC was banned in 1960, Mrs. Sisulu was subjected to 18 years of tough government restriction orders. Nevertheless she remained a key activist and was elected one of three co- presidents of the United Democratic Front in 1984. THE AFRICA FUND has stood close to the heart of the struggle for freedom and justice in southern Africa for the past quarter century. It has worked closely with virtually every independence leader from Julius Nyerere of Tanzania and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe to Walter Sisulu and Nelson Mandela. The Africa Fund has crusaded to free political prisoners, spearheaded the drive to impose sanctions against apartheid, and mobilized the conscience of America on behalf of the oppressed peoples of southern Africa.
