>Dear Colleague,
>
>You may recall that we have shared with you in February that Euforic
>unveiled its redesigned web site on an event in the International Press
>Centre in Brussels. Today I would like to inform you that we are
starting
>a 3-week electronic discussion to further discuss the issues related to
>information and partnership needs of Southern stakeholders involved in
>Europe's international Cooperation. We invite you to participate in
this
>discussion by sending a blank message to
>
>[email protected]
>
>The discussion will take place from April 9-28, 2004, during which we
will
>attempt to answer the following questions:
>
>1. What are the needs of the South with regard to information required
for
>policy debates?
>2. What information-sharing mechanisms are successful and what are the
>gaps in the existing approaches?
>3. What is the role of Northern actors and how can they improve the
>effectiveness of their initiatives in providing an internet platform
where
>Southern actors can effectively participate in debates?
>4. Which are the organizations to partner with to achieve this goal?
>
>Questions 1 and 2 will be discussed in week 1 and 2 respectively, while
>questions 3 and 4 will be discussed during the final week. At the
>beginning of each new week, a summary of discussions of the previous
week
>will we provided.
>
>The discussion will be conducted in English. It is both email based and
>web-based. Background resources for the discussion - among which the
>results on a survey on these issues - can be found at the Resources
>section of the debate webpage
>http://www.dgroups.org/groups/euforic-south/index.cfm?op=main&cat_id=56
87.
>You can also contribute resources for the discussion through this page.
>
>The outcome of the discussion will help Euforic in developing a
concrete
>strategy to further the involvement of Southern actors (both State and
>non-State) in our work, which will in turn contribute to bridging the
>disparity between the North and South in the debate on Europe's
>development cooperation with third countries.
>
>Once again, you can participate in this discussed by sending a blank
>message to [email protected]. Please distribute this
>invitation among your colleagues and networks. We look forward to
seeing
>you and having a very fruitful discussion.

>Sincerely,
