Distance Learning Courses for Human Rights and Advocacy Organisations
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for applications
This is the first call for applicants for Adilisha distance learning
courses for human rights and advocacy organisations in Southern Af-
rica.
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 re-
gional experts, seven courses will be run in the course of the next
12 months:
* Fact-finding and investigation of human rights violations (applica-
tions 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 CD-ROM to
use at home or workplace. You will be supported via e-mail by a
course tutor. You will be required to complete a series of assign-
ments 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
e-mail 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 Depart-
ment 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 16 August
2002 and applications received after this date will not be consid-
ered. Incomplete applications will also not be considered.
Dates for the other Adilisha courses will be published through a fur-
ther call for applications in due course.
