As we look back over 1998, the challenge of changing the face of girls' education in Africa looms large. The past year brings us one step closer to the new millennium and to me tealizarion that sub-Saharan Africa is still far from achieving the goals of Education For All by the year 2000, which the world embraced in jomtien in 1990. Against the backdrop of economic recession, poverty, and anitudes and practice that impede progress towards the achievement of this goal, FAWE has the challenging task of seeking to create a safe and conducive environment for girls at all levels.

In the face of this, never before has the FAWE mandate of accelerating the participation of females in education seemed so urgent a priority. Africa needs to overcome the ravages of war, the scourges of poverty and ill health, and rise to face the challenges of the new millennium. FAWE believes that we have much to contribute to the intellectual resource base needed for Mrica's survival. We must tap the enormous human resource embodied in our girls and women, if we are to meet the challenges of the future . These challenges require a holistic rather than a piecemeal approach.

We need to build indigenous capacity at the national level to be able to intervene within communities and households to send more girls to school. We need to plan our resources strategically and to influence resource allocation for the benefit of girls. We need to promote female leadership, particularly within universities and higher education institutions, which are the seat of intellect. We need to demonstrate what works and to publicize and reward innovation that seeks to create additional opportunities for girls and women. We must continue to be effective advocates for policy change to ensure that more girls and women not only enter school, bur remain there and perform well.

Above all, we need to continue to nurture and strengthen partnerships with governments, donor partners, NGOs, communities, the media and girls themselves.

In a nutshell, that is what FAWE has sought to do over the past year. This report

1991?

r highlights FAWE's achievements during 1998 . It also dwells on the challenges that FAWE faces as, after five years of existence, we move from "movement" to "institution. ' The focus is on the FAWE National Chapters, as they translate the FAWE mandate into concrete interventions on the ground.

On behalf of the entire FAWE membership and the girls and women of Africa, I want to thank all the partners who have contributed to this success and to appeal for your continued moral and financial support.

Finally, we cannot let this occasion pass without making a remark on the change of leadership within the Secretariat. Our dedicated "founder" Executive Director, Dr. Eddah Gachukia, retired from FAWE in 1998. We acknowledge with deepest gratitude her unflagging enthusiasm and commitment to FAWE's vision over her five-year tenure. At the same time, we warmly welcome her successor, Prof. Penina Mlama, who comes on board with similar commitment, determined to build on the solid foundation that will take the Forum into the millennium. We wish God's blessings to both of these dynamic, creative women.

FAWE has made substantial progress towards the goal of improving female education in Africa. In 1998 FAWE made a concerted effort to influence the policy environment in favour of gitls' education-and it seems to be having an impact. Dialogues with ministers of education and ot her policy makers, as well as statements by government officials, reflected a growing awareness at the highest policy levels of the need to address gender imbalances in education.

Policy and decision making processes further indicated genuine efforts towards incorporation of gender concerns. Many national education programmes and plans included definite intentions to improve girls' access, performance and retention. For example, as a resulr of FAWE's consultation with ministers of education, seven countries commissioned studies on reducing wastage in their education systems due to adolescent pregnancy. Also at the request of ministers of education, six additional countries participated in the Strategic Resource Planning Programme seeking to identify policy options that would increase investment in education in general and girls' education in particular. Mosr of the 3 1 countries with FAWE National Chapters also undertook the compilation of data on the situat ion of girls in education by completing the National Score Card.

The Forum's effort to forge and strengthen partnerships bore fruits with the involvement of three FAWE National Chapters (Zambia, G hana and Uganda) in the Alliance partn ership with UNICEF and community-based organizations. At the tertiary level a new partnership was struc k with the Association of African Universities (AAU), leading to a strong joint participation at the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education in October. The attainment of Observer Status with the United Nations and the Organization of African Uniry formalized the partnership with United Nations organizations, especially UNESCO and UNICEF, and opened up new avenues for reaching African heads of state and ministers of education through OAU forums.

A great stride was made with the recruitment of22 full-time National Chapter coordinators in 1998. These National Chapters have institutionally moved from dependence on volunteer-based and often haphazard execution of Forum activities to more professional workp lans and concrete frameworks of operation at the national level. FAWaE's financial and technical input into bui lding the capacity of National Chapters through provision of office space and equipment, and training the coordinators in administrative, financial management and resource mobilization skills, has started bearing fruit in the activities undertaken by the chapters. Most encouraging is the success some chapters have shown in mobilizing local resources and building partnerships with ministries of education, NGOs, communities and other key players in education at the local level.

r T hro ugh the Demonstration and Experimentation Grants, the Agathe Uwilingiyimana Award, and the Media Award, FAWE successfully demonstrated practical ways to address the problems in female education.

Advocacy thro ugh the media and the production of materials and manuals continued to maintain the visibiliry of FAWE and keep girls' education concerns on the agenda. A major success was the publication of Gender Analysis: A Workshop Manual for Policy Makers and the handbook, Creating an Enablingand Empowering Environmentfor Womm in Tertiary Education. Both of these were widely circulated to policy makers, among universities in Africa and at the UNESCO World Conference on High er Education in Paris.

These achievements of FAWE were confirmed by the External Evaluation conducted in 1998, which states that FAWE has made a difference. T he report of the evaluation highlights the constraints and challenges that continued to preoccupy FAWE in 1998. These included the sustainabi liry of the organization at both regional and chapter levels. The initial attempts to address the issue included the institution of a subcommittee on fund raising, the intention to establish an endowment fund and the identi fication of possible income-generating activities.

T he evaluation also pointed to the need to have a more focused work programme, to develop a rolling five-year plan, and to pay more attention to the monitoring and evaluation of the impact of Forum activities. In the process, FAWE must define more clearly the role and responsibilities of existing and new part nerships. FAWE must also strengthen the capaciry of its institutional sttuctures. These observations of the evaluation will continue to challenge the ingenuiry of FAWE and to push the Forum into much soul-searching for solutions. Indeed, in 1998 these challenges spurred FAWE into more concerted efforts towards the fulfillment of its goals.

The sections that follow outline FAWE's accomplishme nts in 1998.

Mobilizing the Membership As a network of senior women policy makers who are actively involved in policy formulation, the strength of FAWE lies primarily in the capacity and commitment of its members. The growth to 60 full members-women ministers and women vice chancellors---during 1998. was an important achievement. (Please refer to Annex A for a list of the FAWE membership. and to Annex B fo~ members of the Executive Committee.)

Equally promising is the partnership with male minisrers of educarion and permanent secretaries committed to promoting female education. The number of male associate members rose to 28 during 1998. The cultivation of this partnership bore fruit during 1998 as the associate members supported the promotion of gender equity in education during rhe Conference of African Ministers of Education (MINEDAF) held in Durban in April and the World Conference on Higher Education held in Paris in October. (A list of FAWEAssociate Members is contained in Annex C.)

Activity Report or 1998

Building Capacity at the National Level Reinvigorating and sustaining political commitment to the goals of Education For All requires the formation of a broad partnership among policy makers. NGOs. and community groups and practitioners from within and outside the education system. FAWE National Chapters seek to be the nerve centres for female education in their countries as they translate the FAWE mandate into local realities.

(Annex 0 lists the National Chapters.)

During 1998. FAWE invested in the strengthening of its 31 National Chaprers by providing:

•

Hon. Dr. Evelyn Kandakai New FAWE Member Minister of Education. Liberia

Financialsupport in the way of seed money to equip their secretariats, facilitate communication. appoint full time coordinators. The following countries were supported during 1998: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia. Chad. Liberia. Ghana. Guinea. The Gambia. Tanzania.

Influencing Resource Allocation A major objective for FAWE is to stimulate governments to increase their investment in education in general and girls' education in particular. FAWE seeks to influence resource allocation in the education sector and to assist in the development of national skills for the purposes of strategic resource planning for the education sector.

F

Stra tegic Resource Planning Du ring 1998, the FAWE Strategic Resource Planning (SRP) Programme implemented its second phase, which consisted of:

•

Training for national research teams at IDS Sussex: The training package consisted of aims and objectives of the research, research methods and data collection techniques, computer training and modeling, gende r analysis and planning, education planning and financing, policy formulation and policy analysis.

•

A regional two-week workshop for the nine participating countries in which initial findings from microanalysis and the results of the pilot surveys were presented.

As part of the Joint Secretariat with T he World Bank ED I for the Partne rship for Strategic Resource Planning (SRP) for Girls' Education in Africa, FAWE participated in the partnership meetings. D iscussion centred around the consolidation and dissemination of the results of the first phase, and strategies for the future that would broaden country participation.

Reducing Wastage in Education Systems In order to assess the issue of drop-ou t through adolescent pregnancy, studies were carried out in seven countries (Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi, Sao Tome and Principe, and Zanzibar) .

T he synthesis report of these studies was compiled during 1998 to facilitate wider dissemination of the findings among policy makers throughout Africa.

Promoting Gender Issues in Higher Education

Eliza Pre-Nursing and Mid-Wifery Training School The 1998 Agarhe Uwilingiyimana Award cites this programme for its novel approach to the issues of poverty, AIDS and unemployment. The school takes in drop-out and unemployed youth, the majority ofwhom are girls, into a bridging course that provides them with skills in first aid, nursing care, mid-wifery and basic health care. The young graduates are thus equipped to enter formal nursing training courses or to deal with home nursing care for AIDS patients. This innovative centre, situated in Muhono District, aboUl35 kilometres east of Kampala city, was created by Elizabeth Lurwama.

Contributing to the African intellectual resource base is part of FAWE's mandate. This calls for investment in the promotion of gender issues in higher education, and female leadership in tertiary institutions in particular.

The major achievement during 1998 was the consolidation of the partnership with the Association of African Universities (AAU). Activities included a survey of affirmative action programmes and creation of a database of female experts. The main accomplishment of this partnership was a joint presentation during the World Conference on Higher Education held in Paris in October 1998.

FAWE took part in rwo thematic debate s at the world conference, and distributed a variety of publicity materials including a special issue of FAWE News devoted entirely to the higher education debate. Another major publication that was widely disseminated during the event was FAWE's new handbook for African universities entitled Creating an Enabling and Empowering Environment for Women in Tertiary Education.

For FAWE, the culminating point of the conference was the presentation of the prestigious UNES CO Comenius Medal to Professor Lydiah Makhubu of Swaziland. A member of the FAWE Executive Committee, Prof. Makhubu is a world renowned scient ist.

The FAWE subcommittee of vice chancellors and university-based members met in Nairobi in February, and the francophone university-based members held an additional subregional meeting in June in Conakry, Guinea.

Demonstrating What Works Demonstrating innovative, effective and efficient ways of increasing female access, retention and performance is a significant area of work for FAWE. The purpose is to identify and reward activities that are working on the ground, to motivate the players, and to encourage replication of the ideas.

Experimentation and Demonstration Grants Programme Through its Experimentation and Demonstration Grants Programme, FAWE awarded seven grants during 1998. The areas covered in the grants were: •

FAWE's Technical Committee provides guidance on grant selection; see Annex E for a list of committee members.

The Agathe Uwilingiyimana Award This component is an example of how a small prize (US$6,000) can galvanize interest around girls' education by mobilizing community involvement in identifying the recipients and advocating for female education. The awards are administered by the National Chapters.

During 1998, Phase 1 countries initiated a third round in Ghana and Kenya. The experiences of the second round were also documented. In Phase 2 countries, the second round of the awards process was started in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone and Zambia and documentation was completed in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone. Three new countries-Benin, Rwanda and Uganda-joined the process. The Uganda prize was awarded to St Eliza's Pre-Nursery and Mid-Wifety Training School (see box on page 9).

Strategic Communications Trainingfor FAWE Members fu prime movers, FAWE members need to be effective advocates in the policy arena. The aim of the communications training was to impart skills to FAWE members and staff in successful presentation techniques-giving winning speeches- so that they might lead grassroots advocacy efforts more effectively, and successfully comm unicate policies ro diverse audiences and multiple stakeholders. From the other side, the training also focused on effective use of media and interview techniques.

In addition, members had an opportunity to: •

Discuss critical ways in which strategic comm unications can be used to further education policy reform in Africa.

•

Facilitate discussion on new ways of using com munications for meaningful social change in Africa as it applies to the education of girls, the quali ty of educa tion for girls and education policies.

•

Determine methodology for broadening the voice and outreach of FAWE to new audiences, or to audi ences that have historically been difficult to reach.

•

Explore ways of using emerging communications technology to further FAWE's goals.

Strategic Communications Trainingfor National Chapters The pilot phase undertaken in 1998 includ ed a national workshop in each country to develop a national communication strategy and activities that are appropriate for each country (Malawi, Zambia, Guinea and The Gambia). A key activity was the successful pre-testing of a Communication Workbook for National Chapters and training National Chapter members in making presentations and working with the media.

Producing print articles and radioltelevision stories or drama programmes that support the cause of girls' education in FAWE member countries.

•

Exchanging news coverage amo ng National Chapter on issuesof education in general and with specific emphasis on girls' education.

•

Establishing partnerships and networking with journalists to facilitate communication on issues related to female participation in education by holding media workshops in five countries.

•

Completing the first pilot of the FAWE Award fo r Media Excellence (FAME) for women media practitio ners in Kenya, resulting in increased interest and coverage of female education issues in the Kenyan media.

Targeted Advocacy M aterials Effective advocacy entails reaching audiences with targeted materials in a timely manner.

T he main audio visual p roduct produced during 1998 was the translation of the FAWE film Education is Important... The Girls Know It, into two additional African languages-Chichewa and Kiswahili. The disseminat ion of the film continued, along with the Facilitator's Guide for the use of the film. In collaboration with URTNA, the film was aired on national broadcasting stations across Africa. Zambia and Malawi completed adaptations of the four-minute video and song "Send Your Girl-C hild To School," which was subsequently aired on radio in both countries.

New print products included a handout specifically for girls that was completed and pre-tested by the Uganda National Chapter. An interactive role-play on sexual harassment entitled With Or Eyes in Our Voices was also pub lished during 1998. T he FAWE newsletter, FAWE News, continued as a qu arterly magazine. Each issue reflected a particular theme in female education: innovation in community education, girls and science, higher education, and strategic resource planning. The magazines included scholarly and human interest articles as well as an opportunity for school girls to air the ir views on their own education and to share experiences.

Information Dissemination T he FAWE Resource Centre has the specific objective of collecting and disseminati ng information on female educa tion in Africa. During 1998, the Resource Centre continued to upd ate the existing database, including national and regional statistics and results of research on educatio n and other relevant informati on on female education, and making this information easily accessible to users.

Centre served the media, local and international researchers, government ministries, NGOs, students, political and community leaders, and consultants through literature searches, bibliographies, current awareness bulletins and selective dissemination of information.

To provide wider access ro information, FAWE launched a web page in early 1998. In addition, during 1998 FAWE provided support to the FAWE Ghana Chapter's Information and Documentation Centre and supported the connectivity ofFAWE members and National Chapters via e-mail in six countries. Apart from dissemination through National Chapters, FAWE also sought to create new distribution channels through partnerships with publishers and distributors of educational materials and to explore avenues such as international book fairs. T he FAWE Zimbabwe Chapter facilitated the FAWE exhibition at the Zimbabwe International Book Fair held in August.

Consolidating,Partnerships The provision of Education For All (EFA) and the elimina tion of gender imbalances in education arc tasks that call for the participation of a wide range of players. FAWE is aware that governmenrs, donor agencies, NGOs, communities and individuals are all, in various ways, engaged in the global effort to achieve Education For All. FAWE's experience demonstrates the critical role of partnership with these other players in enhancing the FAWE goals rowards girls' education. Partnership at national, regional and inrernationallevels is ther efore an important focus for FAWE. FAWE needs partnership with organizations and people who share the vision and are committed to facilitating better participation of girls and wom en in education.

The year 1998 was marked by increased outreach and strengthening of new partnerships for female education.

Partnerships with Governments Partnership with governments has provided the crucial good will and political commitment required at national and local level for policy responses and implementation of programmes favourable to girls' education. The Strategic Resource Planning Programme was an opportunity to highlight policy options intended to reduce the gender gap in education. During the Conference of African Ministers (MINEDAF VII) held in Durban in April 1998, African ministers showed overwhelming support to FAWE's efforts.

Partn erships with Communities Partnership at the community level where actual action on girls' education is taking place has also been critical. Community leaders, teachers, parents and community-based organizations form a critical resource for FAWE partnerships. FAWE National Chapters have proved that success in implementing the FAWE activities at the local level requires these partnerships. Many of the FAWE activities at the grassroots level are, indeed, execured in partnership with community-based organizations.

Partnerships with NGOs Consideting that FAWE activities are based in Africa, which still struggles with the constraints of underdevelopment, the need for human and financial resources cannot be overemphasized. Efforts to provide Education For All have been hampered by the continent's poverty, undeveloped human resources and inadequate institutional capacities. Partnerships with organizations that contribute to . human resource development, capacity building and financial support have been crucial to FAWE's existence and ability to achieve its past successes. A full list of partners is in Annex F.

Partnerships with Donors We wish ro take this opportunity to pay special tribute to our donor partners who generously support FAWE in its activities. These include donor partners who have collaborated with FAWE in executing specific activities in favour of, girls' education. Examples are UNICEF (ACAFE), ADEA's WGFP (FEMED), EDIIWorid Bank (SRP). Other donor partners have given financial support to the implementation of the overall FAWE work programme. The past successes have been the impetus for the development of more and betrer programmes to maintain the CUlling edge created thus far. T he overwhelming donor support, both moral and financial, has undoubtedly led to FAWE's success. (Refer to Annex G for a complete list of the donor parrners.)

Within the context of the ADEA Working Group on Female Participation, FAWE participated in the following activities:

Meeting Constraints to the Implementation of the Work Programme . "'WI ¡

T he achievemems of the past year have not been without their challenges and constraints.

Effective institu tionalization of the FAWE mandate at the national level is imperative if longterm measurable impact is to be achieved. The strengthening of FAWE National Chapters then becomes a pr iority, and panicularly challenging has been the institution of properly instituted governance structures, sustaining the commitment of chapter members who are volumeers and ensu ring accoumability with funds, as well as mobilizing resources at the local level.

T he changing and volatile climate in several coumries has made the continuity of some chapters' work difficult.

T he mobility of FAWE members has emphasized the need to sustain effective linkages with ministries of education, in panicular through the establishment of focal poims within the ministries.

Critical here is ensuring that FAWE's susrainabiliry and links with the ministries are not tied to the political fonunes and inclinations of individual members and that girls' education remains a non partisan issue on the national agenda.

Susrainabiliry cominues to be an urgem concern for FAWE. This emails remaining attractive to donors while broadening the resource base to ensure suppon over the long term. Measures to achieve that end include the creation of Board of Overseers with a special ponfolio for fund raising, and the introductio n of a core fund.

As we look toward the new millennium, FAWE will seek to address the various challenges that face the organization in both the long and the shon term. The External Evaluation has revealed that there is need to have more focus in the work programme, to enhance the national capacity to imp lemem the programme, to evaluate and consolidate partnerships and forge new ones where necessary, to extend the planning horizon, and to place more emphasis on effective evaluation and monitoring.

T he greatest challenge remains that of sustaining the dynamism, momem um, em husiasm and vision created for girls' education, while addressing the challenges of institutional developmem. FAWE coums on the suppon of its donor panners and all stakeholders in meeting that challenge.

As me year 2000 draws near, FAWE joins the rest of the stakeholders in girls' education in assessing

~~

our readiness to face the challenges of the new millennium. On the basis of our past experiences we have cause to enter the new century with our heads held high. In the five years of its existence FAWE has indeed made a difference to the situation of girls' education. The FAWE External Evaluation carried out in 1998 states that "there is much evidence that FAWE has influenced the policy environment by increasing gender awareness and establishing networks for change and dissemination of information, both at the continent-wide and nationallevels....There is hope that policy trends are also in the ptocess of change. Potentially important partnerships have been created at both international and grass-toots level. There is no doubt that the growth of National Chapters is highly significant and that FAWE's efforts in capacity building are already bearing fruit in the most highly developed Chapters."

However, FAWE is also very much aware of the challenges posed by the fact that gender inequiry in education will still be a realiry in the year 2000 as it was in the 1990, the year of the jorntien Declaration on Education For All (EFA).

The challenge that FAWE has taken upon itself is to use the year 1999 to reduce the gender gap so that the statistics for 2000 can indicate measurable improvements in access, performance and retention for girls across Africa. Through the National Chapters, the Forum will spearhead specific interventions at the grassroots level in favour of girls' education. The creation of a conducive, positive, gender responsive learning environment within which girls learn effectively, will be the focus for FAWE supported interventions.

Recognizing the important role of other players in education, FAWE will continue to strengthen old partnerships, forge new ones and redefine partnership roles. The idea will always be to maximize the benefits to female education. Again, the FAWE National Chapters will playa key role in identifying and strengthening these partnerships and linkages with governments, communities and other NGOs. It is clear that FAWE's work progtamme can be effectively put into operation only at the National Chapter level.The most important challenge facing FAWE in 1999 and beyond is to sustain the momentum already created in the chapters, and to ensure the sustainabiliry of the chapters themselves as viable NGOs in their respective countries. Mobilization of resources at the local level, efficient accounting systems and proper management of projects, including planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and assessment of impact, remain serious issues for the National Chapters to grapple with.

Over rime. National Chapters must develop programmes that can be funded at the local level and develop their own strategies for sustaining their projects. Chapters must also continually evaluate their programmes for impact as they move towards the achievement of EFA in their respective countrres, Several strategies are needed for continued strengthening of the chapters. These include building the capacity of the National Chapters. extending basic technical and financial support. and providing training on strategies for fund raising and resource mobilization. The Chapters will also be given opportunities to share with each other the strategies that have worked in their respective counrnes, Most important, the Chapters will engage in specific action-oriented interventions so that they can demonstrate in practice the steps that are required at the national level to attain gender equi ty in education. Making the FAWE National Chapters the nerve centres for girls' education will remain an important task. one that demands continuous thinking and planning.

FAWE faces the challenges of 1999 with much optimism. because we know thar there are many committed people out there who share our vision and are willing to collaborate with us in changing the situation of female education in Africa for the better,

EXPLANATION OF VARIANCES FORTIFICATION OF FAWE MEMBERSHIP ROLES - US$573,142.00

i)

Consultation with Associate Male Ministers US$246,403.00 A Ministerial Consultation meeting on the 20-20 Initiative, a joint activity between FAWE and INZET, has been rescheduled and will be part of the OAU Ministers meeting on March 15-19, 1999. During this meeting, FAWE will provide a facilitator for the Theme: Access, Quality, Relevance and Learning modalities and provide technical input on financing of education in Africa and its impact on girls education.

ii)

Strengthening FAWE National Chapters US$325,877.00 Funds earmarked for the strengthening National Chapters have not yet been released to those Chapters which have not finalised recruitment of the Co-ordinators. Only twenty two out of the thirty one chapters budgeted for have finalised recruitment of the co-ordinators. In addition the strengthening is carried out at different stages and according to the immediate requirement of the Chapter. By the end of 1998, Co-ordinators had been recruited and training on developing workplans, financial accounting, monitoring and strategies for resources mobilisation finalised.

B

STRATEGIC RESOURCE PLANNING US$565,822.00

i)

Projects Monitoring Policy US$61,580.00 Monitoring of implementation of SRP recommendations in Phase 1 countries (Ethiopia, Guinea and Tanzania) did not take place mainly because of changes within Ministries of Education e.g. Guinea. Strategies ate now in place to reactivate the task forces in both Guinea and Tanzania and support dissemination of the SRP process in all countries.

ii)

SRP Country Projects US$446,649.00 The training costs for National teams from the six new SRP countries at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, U.K. were paid for from the Partnership fund. The funds earmarked for this purpose will be utilised in dissemination of the findings. Other activities planned for 1998 did not take place because the Co-ordinators of the Chapters were not in place before October 1998. The funds will be used in February 1999 for a workshop of SRP principal researchers and FAWE Chapters Co -ordinators both in the pilot phase and Phase II countries. Strategies of the way forward will be articulated at the workshop.

For 1999, universities have been requested ro offer to host the training. Two offers have already been received.

ii)

Supporting Networks US$46,792.00 Planned linkages between universities and schools in the area of career guidance, linking members on the Internet and electronic media did not take place. Some of the reasons include the inadequate co-ordination within the countries and absence of computers and relevant equipment within the Chapters so as to connect the female researchers.

i)

Demonstration Projects and Commissioned Studies US$326,379 .00 For control purposes, the demonstration grants are given in rranches after the progress and financial repons have been certified to be satisfactory. In the beginning of the year, it was anticipated that nine projects would be funded from the demonstration grants project this year.

However, due to the poor quality of the proposals submitted to FAWE, only eight proposals have been funded and hence the reason for the variance. Second and third tranches of older grants have also not been released because of delays in submission of progress and financial repons as per schedule.

ii)

Awards for Innovators US$155,080.00 Funds to support the implementation of the Agarhe Awards are disbursed in three tranches. By December 31 only the first instalment had been disbursed to the countries implementing this activity and hence the reason for the variance.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORUM FOR AFRICAN WOMEN EDUCATIONALISTS We have audited the financial statements set our on pages 37 to 45 which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in Note I (page 39). We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of OUt knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements are in agreement with the books of account .

Independent Auditors' Report

The management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view of the Forum's state of affairs and its operating results. Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on the financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion to you.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Those Standards require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement. An audit includes an examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the accounting policies used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as an evaluation of the overall presentation of the financial statements.

In our opinion proper books of account have been kept and the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Forum's financial affairs at 31 December 1998 and of its income, expenditure and changes in fund balances for the year then ended.

FORUM FOR AFRICAN WOMEN EDUCATIONALISTS REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1998 The Executive Committee submit their report together with the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 1998.

I.

Organization and nature of activities The Forum for African Women Educationalists is a membership organisation that brings together African women ministers in charge of national education systems, women vice chancellors of African universities and other senior women policy makers. Founded in 1992, and registered in Kenya as a Pan African NGO in 1993, FAWEhas 60 full members from 31 African countries including Zanzibar, 28 associate members comprising male ministers of education and permanent secretaries. and 31 National Chapters. As an unprecedented group of influential African women policy makers. FAWE is well positioned to stimulate broad policy reform and create a conducive environment for increasing parental demand for girls' education.

Following the Jomtien Statement of 1990, which declared that Education for All (EFA) and the achievement of gender equiry in education by the yeat 2000 should be the goal of signatory governments, five women education ministers from Africa were motivated to begin deliberate and concerted efforts to achieve these goals in Africa. They firmly believed that women in decision making positions had the potential to make a significant difference in the education and training of women and girls in their countries.

In order for them to make such difference, however, it would be necessary to put into place a mechanism that would, on a continuing basis, enable senior women education policy makers to talk to each other. share views. exchange experiences, explore alternatives and pool their intellectual resources. The formation of a nerwork was clearly a prioriry. In addition to providing a forum for exchange of ideas, the nerwork would support members and their institutions and strengthen their capaciry to influence policy formulation and implementation.
