Networking and collaboration Working with others remains vital to discharging our mission. In2008, we especially appreciated working with: The Ethnic Minority Group Forum - CCFU participated in this Forum, that promotes the cultural rights of ethnic minorities, and contributed to a submission to the Equal Opportunities Committee of Parliament. COMPAS Africa - In June, CCFU participated in a learning event organised by COMPAS (Comparing and Sharing experiences in Endogenous Development) Africa held inBolgatanga, Ghana. This presented an opportunity to share reports and proposed plans and their relevance to the Millennium Development Goals, to seek synergy between the approaches employed by the participating organisations, as well as to learn about participatory video documentation. Staff exchange programme: CCFU hosted Claire Boonzaaijer for 8 weeks as part of an exchange programme with COMPAS International, during which she carried out a desk research on culture, human rights and governance in Uganda and the status of the UNESCO Convention on the promotion of cultural diversity. She co-facilitated a COMPAS gender write-shop as part of her learning objectives and made monitoring visits to COMPAS partners in Uganda and Tanzania.
International National Trust Organisation (INTO) - CCFU became a member of INTO, which presents opportunities for learning, information and resource sharing between countries across the globe, for heritage conservation, development, management, and education. CCFU Support group – In 2008, the CCFU Support Group (with more than 100 voluntary members) was invited to all the Foundation’s public events and received copies of our documentation outputs. At a meeting held in December, members indicated that the Support Group meetings presented a useful space for learning and sharing experiences, and proposed that in future this forum be used to develeop advocay strategies and produce concrete outputs for advancing the ‘culture in development’ agenda in Uganda. Networking: Reflections Through networking, CCFU has developed several beneficial partnerships that have allowed us to broaden our understanding of the development context within which culture is located. We have been exposed to the efforts of like-minded individuals and organisations, and held discussions with them that have challenged our thinking on ‘culture in development’. There is a need to maintain the momentum to lobby for a conducive policy framework by engaging development partners within and outside the CCFU Support Group, by involving development actors whose work does not explicitly include the promotion of culture, and by collaborating with international organisations to share experiences and critically reflect on the relevance of our efforts in the regional and global contexts.
