CALL FOR APPLICANTS

Adilisha distance learning courses for human rights and advocacy
organisations

This is the first call for applicants for Adilisha distance learning
courses for human rights and advocacy organisations in southern
Africa.

Fahamu, in association with the Department for Continuing Education at
the University of Oxford, will be offering courses specifically
designed to meet the needs of human rights and advocacy organisations
in southern Africa. Developed together with international and
regional experts, seven courses will be run in the course of the next
12 months:

· Fact-finding and investigation of human rights violations
(applications now open)
· Human rights monitoring and reporting
· Campaigning, advocacy and lobbying
· Leadership and management for change
· Fundraising and resource mobilisation
· Financial management for non-financial managers (applications
now open)
· Using the internet for advocacy and research

Each course will comprise three phases:

Phase One: You will be supplied with interactive learning materials
on CDROM to use at home or workplace. You will be supported via email
by a course tutor. You will be required to complete a series of
assignments over a period of approximately eight weeks.

Phase Two: This will involve an intensive workshop in southern Africa
lasting for about 5 days.

Phase Three: This phase will last about eight weeks and will involve
you carrying out an assignment within your organisation. You will be
supported via email by a course tutor and submit your work for
assessment.

Those successfully completing this exercise will be awarded with a
Certificate of Completion from the University of Oxford.

This project is supported by the European Union, the British
Department for International Development, and the Canadian
International Development Research Centre. Funding is available to
cover fees, travel and accommodation for up to 10 persons per course
from within the SADC region.

Applications for the Financial management and the Fact-finding and
investigation courses are now open. Applications close on 15 July
2002 and applications received after this date will not be considered.
Incomplete applications will also not be considered.

Dates for the other Adilisha courses will be published through a
further call for applications in due course.
