<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is with pride and joy that we present to you the
product of a full year's work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We had been giving you updates on its development,
but now it is finished and attached. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is very unusual for us to attach messages, but
this occasion warranted it. The document is 25 pp long plus 18 pp of useful
annexes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As we had told you, we are fundraising for the
campaign and already have funds for applying the Guide in 6 African countries
(courtesy of SCUK). W are pursuing 3 more leads for funding. We will keep you
posted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nevertheless as you will see, the campaign and
assessment can be launched with your own local resources even if meagre.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We need PHM circles to be organized more
formally now to launch the campaign. But other civil society partners are also
welcome to apply the Assessment Guide in collaboration with PHM. Interested
parties (PHM or other) should contact Laura Turiano at <A
href="mailto:phm@turiano.org">phm@turiano.org</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a separate email, we will send you
the campaign proposal to refresh your memory where the
country assessments fit in the overall campaign. (You had received this
document earlier this year)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please find a spot in your busy schedules to go
through the Guide. Give us feedback to any of the addresses given there.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Guide is not a static document. We will improve
it as we go along. You will also read in the Guide that you are given ample
latitude in the modality you want to use to launch this global campaign. No
matter how you proceed, the Guide will have a central role in helping you do the
diagnosis of the status of these rights.</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Happy reading and do give us praises or hell as you
think deserved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...and get those PHM country circles formally
organized!</FONT></DIV>
