    In het landinrichtingsgebied Olst-Wesepe is de consequentie van het vigerende water- en natuurbeleid dat er een relatief groot oppervlak gronden aan de landbouw moet worden ont-trokken (aankoop) om zaken als ruimte voor waterberging, landschap en natuur te realiseren. De landinrichtingscommissie heeft ALTERRA opdracht gegeven te onderzoeken of er alternatieven zijn voor aankoop: kunnen die doelstellingen ook gerealiseerd worden door aanpassingen in de agrarische bedrijfsvoering voor te stellen, zodat meerboer(en) kunnen blijven, maar ook de beleidsdoelstellingen duurzaam gewaarborgd zijn.

    Women's employment in transition countries, notably Central and Eastern Europe has become increasingly informal and flexible. The first growing trend is that women are more involved in cross-border trade, known as 'suitcase' trade, often keeping women away from home for days or months. They buy mainly consumer and household goods usually unavailable in their home countries, to sell to street vendors on their return home. The second growing trend is women's involvement in sub-contracting, particularly work such as hand sewing for the textile and shoe industries.

    This shadow report, produced by NEWA and EWLA, offers a critique of the Ethiopian government's CEDAW report by looking at three broad areas: economic and socio-cultural status of women, equality in marriage and family relations and violence against women. The report acknowledges the considerable efforts made by the Ethiopian government to address its CEDAW obligations, but cites weak enforcement, poor policy guidelines and a lack of institutional commitment as ongoing problems.

    Ethiopia has combined its fourth and fifth reports to the United Nations Committee that monitors the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). This report outlines the status of women in Ethiopia and initiatives on the part of all government and non-governmental actors to address the goals set out by CEDAW. Institutional commitments to address gender issues are in place. However, the socioeconomic status of women, particularly in rural areas, remains lower in Ethiopia's male-biased social structures.

    The report is based on information collected in the aftermath of the 1999 famine. It presents some basic information on North Wälo, as well as relevant impressions from the authors journey. Statistics from the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Commission show that all of North Wälo is exposed to famine, but the picture varies much from year to year.
