Subject: [CivilSoc] ISAR in Focus--Summer Issue and Annual Report


> ISAR in Focus
> ISAR: INITIATIVE FOR SOCIAL ACTION AND RENEWAL IN EURASIA is pleased to
> announce the Summer issue of its quarterly newsletter,
>
> ISAR in Focus
>
> This issue doubles as ISAR's 2001 Annual Report. We felt that a double
issue
> would be a good way to combine news of our current activities with a
report
> on the financial highlights of the previous year. Included are lists of
the
> institutions and individuals that supported ISAR in 2001, as well as
graphs
> illustrating how we used the resources they provided.
>
> Articles feature events such as ISAR's May 2002 "Women in Grassroots
Nuclear
> Safety Activism Exchange Program," held in cities across Russia, and the
> Caspian Caravan, a June trip in which ISAR staff traveled along a Caspian
> oil pipeline route, meeting with local environmental activists along the
> way. Success stories from the Russian Far East and ISAR's latest
Azerbaijan
> partnership and exchange program are also described. The exchange brought
> five women's and environmental activists to the US for training and
> internships with colleague NGOs.
>
> ISAR promotes citizen participation in the former Soviet Union by
supporting
> grassroots activists and community-based nongovernmental organizations in
> their efforts to create just and sustainable societies. ISAR in Focus
> spotlights news from ISAR's eight field offices in the former Soviet Union
> and offers updates about their successes during the last quarter.
>
> ISAR offices are located in Baku, Azerbaijan; Almaty and Atyrau,
Kazakhstan;
> Moscow, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok, Russia; Kyiv, Ukraine; and the newest
> addition in Minsk, Belarus.
