VIII. The Earth Charter Initiative:-Examples of Activities of Affiliates and Partners-AFFILIATES AND PARTNERSThere are 119 affiliates from 68 countries and 25 partner organizations being international,regional, or in few cases national organizations that have signed an agreement with ECI forspecific projects with the ECI Secretariat.For instance, this year ECI signed an agreement with the Foundation of Environment Education(FEE), which created the Eco Schools program. This partner has a large network and there are manyopportunities for collaboration and to connect their members with ECI Affiliates.It is important to recognize the work that ECI Affiliates and Partners have been implementing in eachregion. Most of them have organized workshops, seminars, or conferences for schools, for teachers, forbusiness, and the general public. Here is a breakdown of regional Earth Charter activities in 2011.Africa and the Middle EastOne of the most exciting results from the Earth Charter+10 celebration in Jordan was the reactivationof the Earth Charter in this region. The Earth Charter Middle East and North Africa (MENA)Network was formed with members representing 11 countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan,Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen). This network is organizedand coordinated by JOHUD (ECI Affiliate in Jordan), and has been in the process of planning actionsto promote the Earth Charter and collaboration among network members. One of the concerns isfunding, but JOHUD and the ECI Secretariat collaborated to write a funding proposal for an educationweb portal and for organizing workshops on the Earth Charter regionally. In addition, a representativeof a marketing company in Bahrain offered to create an EC interactive Web site in ArabicAnother network was formed in Sierra Leone, called Earth Charter SierraLeone. It was formed as a partnership between youth leaders and the ECIAffiliate in Sierra Leone, along with other invited organizations (a goodexample of the added value of collaboration and synergies amonggroups). Together, they organized a formal launch of this network andinvited people from the UN System and other national organizations.They expect to increase Earth Charter use and impact in the comingyears. This is their Web site: www.earthchartersl.net/The EC was translated into Malagasy and presented to dignitaries in Madagascar.23Earth Charter Annual Report 2011
