Announcement East Africa Day

Date: Wednesday 22 June 2005, 09:30-17:00
Venue: Poortgebouw, Rijnsburgerweg 10, Leiden (5 minutes from Leiden CS)

On 22 June 2005 the African Studies Centre (ASC), in cooperation with the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN), is organizing the first of three “East Africa Days” to be held in Leiden. On this day we will discuss topical policy-related matters, recent publications and regional research projects. We hope to attract policymakers, those working for NGOs, researchers and journalists and anyone else involved in development issues in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Over the next three years, and as part of a wider programme of expert meetings on regional developments in developing countries, the ASC and DPRN intend to organize annual one-day conferences on each of the following regions in Africa – East Africa, West Africa and the Horn of Africa.

The final programme for this year’s East Africa Day has been drawn up:

In addition to arranging these regional meetings, the DPRN is planning to set up a database of researchers, journalists and those working for NGOs in the Netherlands. As soon as the database form will be ready, we will make it available on our website.
