NGOs and private sector link up in cyberspace

Bangkok Post, 17 February 2005, by TUL PINKAEW

An initiative to bring together the public and private sectors to promote biodiversity, conservation and economic development was kicked off yesterday as the world’s first network of cooperation was inaugurated.

« Perhaps we can speak of two sides of a coin, or two parts of a duet. What is key is that the two parts, namely non-government organisations (NGOs) on one side and the private sector on the other, must be considered together, » said Paul Wedel, executive director of the Kenan Institute Asia (KIAsia), a Thai-US non-profit development organisation headquartered in Bangkok that is spearheading the move.

Fokupers – Timor East

Linked with Maria Domingas Fernandes Alves – East Timor, and with Maria Manuela Perreira – Timor East.

FOKUPERS, Forum Komunikasi Untuk Perempuan Loro Sae (Communication Forum for Women from the East), is an NGO established in 1997. Its main goal is to speak out about violence against women – from the military, husbands and the government – in East Timor. It has an office with a small number of staff and many volunteers who have law and economics degrees. (See hawai.edu).

See the list of all East Timorese Grassroots Organisations & Networks (based within East Timor), Organisasi dan jaringan populer.

FOKUPERS, the Communication Forum for East Timorese Women, was established in 1997 to promote women’s rights. The founders were widows, wives of political prisoners, women who were former political prisoners, and women who had been raped by the Indonesian military. During the September 1999 post-referendum scorched-earth operation, the Indonesian military destroyed FOKUPERS’ office and targeted its members, who went into hiding.
