[BFA-Oz] Pan African Bicycle Conference farrenvicnet.net.au 2000-11-16 03:27:57 [ FULL ] Dear bicycle promoters and bicycle lovers, we got to know about your address because of your engagement with bicycle issues. We would like to introduce you the idea of a Pan African Bicycle Conference (PABIC), on which we want to discuss new strategies towards creating a common eye and approach considering non-motorized mobility, particularly with a focus on bicycles in Africa. This idea was developed by First African Bicycle Information Office (FABIO), a civil society organization involved in lobby & advocacy, sensitization and capacity building on issues of bicycle mobility through accessing information, knowledge and skills related to bicycles. FABIO is based in Uganda, working in collaboration with Jugendhilfe Ostafrika based in Germany. The PABIC, the first one of its nature, is to be hosted in Uganda, Jinja in November 21st - 25th 2001. Hosting this conference in Uganda has been due to a number of factors i.e. for effective organization purposes since the initiators of the idea are based in Uganda. Also the Ugandan Government through the Ministry of Housing and Communication supports the conference. The conference will provide an opportunity for sharing among all bicycle mobility promoting initiatives in Africa and elsewhere in the world. It will also look at developing a new strong networking system within and with other bicycle activity related organizations/ institutions. We would like to keep you informed about the future development of the preperation of this event. To make this happen it also needs a lot of input and some support from other organizations. So we would like to take the opportunity to invite every interested party for their input. Some of you have already received the proposal for the PABIC, and if not please do not hesitate to contact us in case you would like to receive it and any further information.
Besides this we are establish a communicaton forum for interested parties to keep in closer contact with us as well as a FABIO-newsletter once a month. Using these possibilities we want to find appropriate ways on how to communicate with all interested individuals and organizations. So please get back on us, if you would wish to get involved closer, and we will then put your e-mail into our contact list. Thank you very much for your interest and it would be nice to hear from you. With many greetings from Jinja, Richard Kisamaddu Patrick Kayemba Andreas Woll Bwanika ________ http://www.idrconsulting.com --> for your consultancy needs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.Poker.se - Sveriges nya pokerportal! _______________________________________________ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet % UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/
