How is the initiative being developed and organized?
The initiative is being developed and implemented in two phases. The first phase is a three-year period, starting in November 2001 and ending in October 2004. During this phase, we are conducting a series of Africa-wide consultations and exploratory grantmaking as well as building partnerships that will sustain the initiative over the long term. Following this, the initiative will be relocated to Africa as an independent foundation with the resources and capacity to serve as convener, facilitator and grant-maker working for African regional solutions.
