faces of change PARTNERSHIPS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD CANADIAN CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 2004/2005 Message from the Chair and the Executive Director THROUGH 23 PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS IN FIFTEEN COUNTRIES, CANADIAN CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL (CCI) IS WORKING TO ADVANCE HUMAN RIGHTS, ELIMINATE POVERTY AND REDUCE THE IMPACT OF HIV/AIDS. For CCI, 2004/2005 has been a year of significant accomplishments. The year began with the signing of a new five-year agreement with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) which provided a 25 per cent increase in funding in recognition of CCI’s work. In June, we brought together partners, Crossroaders, alumni, colleagues in development and volunteers for our 11th International Conference to begin setting our course for the future. The Conference drew more than 120 participants, representing more than 30 organizations from Canada and the South, as well as alumni and staff. The CCI conference was an opportunity to further our shared understanding of the issues, as well as to discuss ideas and strategies. Creating change requires the collective will to act, the courage to take risks, and the skills and efforts of many players. Throughout the year we sought input and expertise from our peers in Canada and abroad, CCI’s partners in Canada and the South, and more than 70 alumni through individual interviews. This work culminated in the development of six key directions to guide our work over the next five years. We have refined our mission and articulated a clear vision of what we can achieve together. ONE WORLD where human rights are respected, poverty is eliminated and the impact of HIV/AIDS is reduced. 1 Throughout our consultation, we heard that CCI’s approach of bringing Canadian organizations into partnership with Southern partners was leading edge within the sector, that internationally, volunteer cooperation was seen to provide real value as it contributed to building global social capital, and that CCI’s volunteers could be key agents of change in influencing policies and practices that affect people in Canada and in other countries in the world. As you will read, the challenges are formidable. But as our founder James Robinson stated so eloquently “Because we can’t do what we would like to do is never any excuse for refusing to do what we can do.” With our shared resources and the will to act, we can effect change. In this year’s annual report, we are pleased to highlight just a few of the faces of change within CCI – people who patiently, creatively and cooperatively are building a more equitable and sustainable world. Lambrina Nikolaou Chair, Board of Directors Karen Takacs Executive Director MISSION: CANADIAN CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL WORKS TO CREATE A MORE EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE WORLD BY ENGAGING AND STRENGTHENING INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH MUTUAL LEARNING, SOLIDARITY AND COLLECTIVE ACTION. VISION: ONE WORLD WHERE HUMAN RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED, POVERTY IS ELIMINATED AND THE IMPACT OF HIV/AIDS IS REDUCED. face thefacts CONFRONTING POVERTY AND HIV/AIDS AND BUILDING HUMAN RIGHTS Nearly half of the world’s population lives on less than two dollars US a day, while 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty and don’t have access to safe drinking water. This year 3.1 million people will die from AIDS. Of these, a disproportionate number will be women. In the countries most affected by HIV/AIDS, girls and women are infected at higher rates than boys and men – in some age groups, up to five times higher. These numbers are shocking and numbing. However, for those working in the field they are all too real. This year, CCI staff were taken aback by the number of Crossroaders on placement who sent in regular journal entries noting the deaths of people they had come to know as friends. You might think it difficult to maintain resolve in the face of such adversity, but in fact it steels us to the task. In the next five years, CCI will focus its resources on poverty reduction, mitigating the impact and reducing transmission of HIV/AIDS and strengthening the rights of women. At the heart of CCI’s work are people committed to building a more sustainable and equitable world. In this year’s annual report, we are profiling but a few of CCI’s faces of change – partners, volunteers, alumni, donors and staff who through our 23 partnership projects are strengthening individuals, organizations and communities in 15 countries. 2 TO CANADA CROSSROADER “[The first exchange between the West Africa AIDS Foundation and the AIDS Committee of London was] the beginning of a new partnership and a new friendship … I learned a whole lot of information about how Canada is dealing with the HIV/AIDS issues. I’ve learned a lot about harm reduction and I’ve seen the model that is used by ACOL in terms of working with high-risk groups. I see the future as very bright … AIDS isn’t just an African thing, it isn’t just a Canadian thing. It’s not a black or a white thing, it’s a human thing.” KAKRA OSEI BONSU ANKOBIAH, WEST AFRICA AIDS FOUNDATION (WAAF), GHANA, PICTURED WITH PETER HAYES (RIGHT), DIRECTOR OF THE AIDS COMMITTEE OF LONDON, WAAF’S CANADIAN PARTNER. a human The magnitude of the HIV/AIDS pandemic makes it hard to grasp its impact. An estimated 5 million people were infected this past year, another 3.1 million died and 12.5 million children were orphaned because of HIV/AIDS. For many of CCI’s partners, the horror of HIV and AIDS plays out as an everyday reality that ruins lives and decimates communities. “Close relatives of a woman came to us, saying we’ve learned that you work on AIDS, we have a family member who has been unwell for a long time,” said Simplice Dabla, Executive Director of CCI’s Togolese partner Recherche, Échanges et Appui aux Initiatives Locales de Développement (REAILD). “Of her children, there is one in fourth grade, but she won’t be able to continue next year. The older sister has learned a trade, but the mother is sick, the father absent, and so she must also stay at home. And the woman herself – her sisters and brothers don’t want to know about it. She has just her mother – all the other members of her family have abandoned her,” says Dabla. “We can’t do development work without attacking the problem of HIV/AIDS, because its impact on social-economic life is really serious.” In response, many of CCI’s partnership projects, including a partnership with REAILD, involve strengthening services to deal with the multi-faceted and terrible effects of the disease, including economic development initiatives for people living with HIV or AIDS as well as public education to reduce transmissions and stigma. In 2004/2005, CCI was involved in eight partnership projects with organizations working in the epic battle against the pandemic. Kakra Osei Bonsu Ankobiah, a staff member at the West Africa AIDS Foundation (WAAF), which is working in partnership with CCI and the AIDS Committee of London (ACOL) in Ontario, learned strategies to reach groups identified as ‘highrisk’ for HIV infection, and to help reduce stigma for groups 3 like the gay population, that tend to go unidentified and unassisted due to cultural attitudes about homosexuality. In Suriname, Crossroaders contributed to public education to combat homophobia and raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. Crossroader Julia Wong taught young people to shoot and produce promotional videos to educate the public about the disease. These public service videos air nationally on Surinamese television and are also available to partner organizations. CCI also supported a South-South exchange between our Surinamese partner, the Stichting Mamio Namen Projekt, and an organization in Trinidad which is a leader in AIDS service work in the Caribbean. In the coming year, a new program supporting community radio programming will supply information on HIV and AIDS to Suriname’s chronically under serviced interior. Through initiatives such as these, CCI’s partnerships are helping to halt the spread of HIV and supporting people affected by AIDS. Crossroaders working on the issue bring back a heightened awareness of the human cost of the disease (letters home regularly bear news of the deaths of colleagues and friends they have made). We know Canadians care. Last year under pressure from citizens and NGOs, the Canadian government passed groundbreaking legislation which will allow Canadian generic drug companies to export life saving drugs at low cost to developing countries. Yet, there remains much to be done. Northern governments have yet to deliver on promises of funding to fight HIV/AIDS, and with some 40 million people infected with HIV, it is essential that we continue to support our partners in their work. face CCI’s partnership projects are a powerful way of engaging citizens across distant borders. They enable CCI’s Southern partners to build valuable networks and expand their skills. This year, 21 To Canada Crossroaders came from organizations in the South to share their experience and work with Canadian organizations committed to helping implement their visions for change.

CCI’s Canadian partners bring expertise, resources and enthusiasm to CCI’s partnership projects in the South. In turn, they learn valuable lessons that will shape their work in Canada. Their expertise spans a range of issues – HIV/AIDS advocacy, prevention and support, indigenous rights, violence against women, the use of cooperatives for economic development, and more. Last year, CCI welcomed four new Canadian partners. “SERVING OVERSEAS WITH CANADIAN CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL (CCI) HELPED ME REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT POVERTY IS DOING TO OUR WORLD,” SAYS CROSSROADER MITRA MANOUCHEHRIAN WHO RECENTLY RETURNED FROM TOGO. “IT IS TEARING AT THE VERY FABRIC OF TOGOLESE SOCIETY. IT WAS A DIFFICULT BUT VERY IMPORTANT LESSON TO LEARN. I KNOW NOW HOW BADLY POVERTY CAN AFFECT A PEOPLE AND HOW GREAT THE NEED IS AND I KNOW I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.” This year Mitra was in Togo, working with partner REAILD (Recherche, Échanges et Appui aux Initiatives de Développement), a community savings and loan organization that mobilizes local groups to identify local solutions to poverty in their communities. REAILD uses its limited resources to support over 40 groups in income-generating initiatives like a mushroom grower’s cooperative, a poultry farm and other small-scale businesses. Given the impact of the AIDS pandemic on people and the local economy, REAILD has identified education and prevention as a critical component of its work. Mitra worked with REAILD staff members – half of whom are unpaid – to develop basic computer skills that will dramatically increase the efficiency of their work. Working with fellow Crossroader Chantal Comeau, they also worked with staff to develop tools and training for group facilitation and HIV/AIDS peer outreach programs that high school students can deliver in the schools. 5 “Crossroaders bring real value. I chose Canadian Crossroads International because they take a long-term view. CCI’s commitment to building the capacity of people and organizations to meet their own needs resonated for me.” MITRA MANOUCHEHRIAN, CROSSROADER Small-scale income generating and economic development initiatives help put some measure of economic control back in the hands of people and communities. For CCI, community economic development is a key strategy in helping people to meet their basic needs. This year, Crossroader Gabrielle Eagles conducted market research in Bolivia to assist CCI partner PEAP (Programa de Estudios y Apoyo a la Producción)/Foncresol, in establishing new communal banks in the cities of Sucre and Camagro. The banks will help people to support their families by providing access to low-interest loans and assistance in launching small businesses. Ruben Usnayo Ramos, Project Officer with PEAP/Foncresol partner ANED (Asociación Nacional Ecuménica de Desarrollo), expanded his knowledge of loan analysis and project management in Canada by working with Wheat Belt Community Futures Development in Brandon, Manitoba, which works with CCI’s partner the Centre for Community Enterprise (CCE). With this experience, he can better support ANED in providing access to credit to poor rural communities across Bolivia. The CCE sees international solidarity which strengthens economies at the community level as an increasingly important element of their work. “We need to do a much better job in Canada of creating awareness and educating people that the international market mechanism is not the only legitimate arbiter of economic and social life,” says Michelle Colussi, manager of CCE’s Technical Assistance Division. “… we have a lot to learn from the Bolivians – their analysis is comparatively more sophisticated and it resonates with citizens to a much greater extent.” In Niger, Crossroader Mélanie Rheault worked with staff of the ONPHDB (l’Organisation nigérienne pour la promotion de l’hydraulique et du développement à la base), which promotes sustainable community management of local forest resources to fight desertification. Together, they instituted an accounting system and developed tools for project management and communication, as well as a five-year strategic plan to guide their work improving the local environment and creating sustainable livelihoods for the community. While most of our work focuses on strengthening Southern organizations’ ability to meet the needs of their communities, we recognize that, for development projects to fully succeed, change must occur at the global level. CCI is also taking part in the Global Call to Action Against Poverty through Canada’s Make Poverty History Campaign. Despite the complexities of the issue, the campaign’s demands are simple and achievable: More and Better Aid. Trade Justice. Cancel the Debt. End Child Poverty in Canada. In the coming years we will continue to work with our partners to influence policies and systems, in our own countries and globally, to support sustainable development. CANADIAN PARTNER “If I can help to create strong, long-term relationships between Bolivian organizations and organizations in Canada – that they will take on a life of their own beyond the project – that would be success for me. We are making a contribution – one person and one organization at a time in Canada, we are working to expose Canadians to another perspective – and to their own reality reflected back at them. This will build greater co-operation and solidarity.” MICHELLE COLUSSI OF CANADIAN PARTNER ORGANIZATION THE CENTRE FOR COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE (CCE), PICTURED WITH LINDA RUBULIAK (RIGHT), DIRECTOR OF CCI’S WESTERN REGIONAL OFFICE.

This year, 21 Southern partners came to Canada for our International Conference and had the opportunity to meet face to face with CCI staff and volunteers, and their Canadian counterparts. As well, CCI facilitated four exchanges between partner organizations in the South. Regular project planning meetings and evaluations ensure that CCI’s work is responsive to the context and realities of our partners. Through exchanges of staff and volunteers, CCI’s partners strengthen their programs and enhance their capacity to engage in local policy and advocacy work as well as working with others to effect broader systemic change at national or international levels. 7 SOUTHERN PARTNER “I really want to commend CCI for basically walking the talk. I know with most organizations they talk about partnership but only at a certain level... We don’t only have people from the North going to the South, we also have people from the South going to the North. I think that’s another unique feature for CCI.” NONHLANHLA DLAMINI, DIRECTOR, SWAZILAND ACTION GROUP AGAINST ABUSE (PHOTO, BELOW LEFT) Advancing women’s human rights In country after country, women do not enjoy fundamental human rights – things as basic as freedom from violence, the right to own property, to vote or to decide how many children to have. Direct targets of violence at home, in the street and in times of war, women also suffer disproportionate levels of poverty and ill health (including HIV infection), lack of representation in government and restrictions on their rights to learn, to own land, and to speak their minds. In many countries, women work double and triple duty as breadwinners and caregivers to their children, parents, and family members stricken with AIDS. An investment in improving women’s lives benefits the entire community. CCI assists partners in asserting women’s rights in practical ways: supporting women’s cooperatives to produce goods such as shea butter for sale; developing new program approaches such as providing literacy classes while supporting income generation; assisting with advocacy campaigns to increase women’s rights in their communities or developing appropriate services and responses for victims of violence. “The shared goals were that I learn more about counselling, the legal system and child counselling, and [the placement] basically met these goals,” explains Xolile Mazibuko, a volunteer counsellor at Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse (SWAGAA) and a To Canada Crossroader. “In Canada it was different. The counsellors play with the children and their story comes out in the play. … with play they make the child in control, so that maybe later in life the child will remember that someone cared and gave them the opportunity to make decisions....We are trying to find a playroom so that we can introduce that at SWAGAA ... The best thing [about the project] is [gaining] exposure and experience to gender-based violence programs in different settings.” “Xolile went to Canada and came back with a wide experience of things that have been done in advocacy and lobbying and initiatives in counselling that we are going to implement in our organization to improve our services,” adds Nonhlanhla Dlamini, Director of SWAGAA. Recent SWAGAA successes in lobbying include the creation this year of a separate sexual offences court where children can testify without having to come face-to-face with the perpetrator. Also this year, To-Swaziland Crossroader Linda Roberts helped SWAGAA develop a fundraising plan and grantwriting skills crucial to funding and developing their work. Another partnership, between Quebec’s Femmes en Mouvement and Senegal’s Association des femmes de la Médina (AFEME), led to the realization of the biggest International Women’s Day event in Senegal this year with the goal of raising awareness of women’s rights among the women of the Médina region and beyond. It was part of a vital partnership that is working to improve the situation of women in Senegal by developing their leadership and organizational management skills. Through the partnership, women are empowered to play a stronger role in civic life. Activities include the creation of a batik workshop where women can create and sell their work, one of a number of initiatives where they are able to increase their economic self-sufficiency with concrete, marketable skills. 8 face value Following are Crossroaders who gave of their time and themselves to support CCI partnership projects in 15 countries during the past year. Their skills, energy and adaptability are secrets to the success of CCI’s unique model. We thank you for being not just the face, but the agents of change.

International development is very complicated and I think we need to always be thinking about what we’re doing and the context. If you aren’t asking those questions you may be doing more harm than good.” LINDA ROBERTS, CROSSROADER TO SWAZILAND “My experience was so enriching, and at all levels: professional, social, cultural. I sometimes have trouble finding the words to express to others how much I loved my experience … this experience was transformative for me personally … I realized to what point I need to work in a setting where I feel that I am contributing to social and human development, whether on a local or an international scale.” MÉLANIE RHEAULT, CROSSROADER TO NIGER 10 The CCI Community: Global Citizens in Action The CCI Community: Global Citizens in Action In interviews and casual conversations alike, Crossroaders tell us their CCI experience fundamentally changed their lives. Years after their placements have been completed, many continue to work for change in their communities. In 2005, CCI volunteers – Crossroaders and other interested members of the community – came together to achieve some spectacular results. At the International Conference in Montreal, CCI veterans Jean-Marc Hachey and Harry Qualman did a retrospective of Crossroaders in action to the delight of all in attendance. Crossroaders Julia Wong and Lori Willocks, in partnership with many friends of CCI, mounted Common Ground, a traveling photo exhibition inspired by their work in Guatemala and Suriname which toured Western Canada. In Ontario, CCI volunteer Salina Kassam traveled to India to document the HIV/AIDS work of CCI partner Human Uplift Trust (HUT) and mounted an exhibition, Shades of Hope, in Toronto, which was complemented by the words of Crossroaders recently returned from the project. In Quebec Fere Kene and Mouneissa, two short documentary films on CCI projects in Mali produced by Crossroaders Mélanie Dumont and Patrick Aubert, were part of Montreal’s annual African film festival Vues d’Afrique. And Crossroaders participating in the social theatre project in Mali took their Malian production on the road in Quebec, touring high schools in and around Montreal to raise awareness of 11 African development issues. In Halifax volunteers have hosted alumni parties, silent auctions and speakers’ tours with To Canada Crossroaders. Most recently, they successfully lobbied the Mayor to declare 2005-2006 as the Make Poverty History year in Halifax. Canada’s Make Poverty History Campaign has also provided an unprecedented moment for action. CCI alumni, donors and volunteers across the country are making their voices heard demanding the Canadian government take leadership in ensuring More and Better Aid, Debt Cancellation, Trade Justice and an End to Child Poverty in Canada. And of course, volunteers continue to provide a solid foundation for CCI’s programs through their work in governance, policy development, recruitment, orientation, fundraising, project committees, as well as hosting volunteers and partners coming to Canada. Our work would not be possible without these generous contributions of time and expertise. In the last year alone, volunteer contributions were valued at almost $2-million. To all who have been a part of CCI’s work this past year, we would like to extend our sincere thanks. “We no longer just talk about the situation for women in Quebec, we speak about the international level. That’s huge for us. It has allowed us to reflect on different issues, for example fair trade. It has given us an opening to the world … It’s something really special for Femmes en Mouvement to participate in this project, to have support for international solidarity, to make links … It’s really a beautiful project.” HÉLÈNE MORIN, CANADIAN PARTNER ORGANIZATION FEMMES EN MOUVEMENT CCI Partners 2004 – 2005 CANADA BURKINA FASO SENEGAL AIDS Committee of London (ACOL) Association African Solidarité (AAS) Association des femmes de la Médina (AFEME) AIDS Saint John Association des groupes d’intervention en défense de droits en santé mentale du Québec (AGIDD-SMQ) CÔTE D’IVOIRE Enda-Graf Guediawaye Association St-Camille de Lellis ST.

When we had these opportunities in the 60s to go with Crossroads, they were very new, and they were in countries that didn’t have a large skilled education base … and that’s all changed. There are lots and lots of skilled African nurses and teachers and doctors. I think that the actual experience of being in touch with people, the cross-cultural experience, the understanding of development, of the politics – at that level I don’t think that’s changed. People continue to say, as in the sixties, this experience changed my life.” BETTY PLEWES (ETHIOPIA ’64, LIBERIA ’68). BETTY IS PAST PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE CANADIAN COUNCIL FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION, OF WHICH CCI IS A MEMBER ORGANIZATION, AND IS CURRENTLY A BOARD MEMBER OF CCI.
