1. Organe de Presse Diifu completed their
project on Independent Journalism in June
2005. The two other grantees for the
projects funded in FY04 are expecting to
finish their activities by February 28,
2006.
2. In FY05, two projects were funded:
A. Grantee: Center Aicha Bogoreh for the
Protection of the Mother and Child
DHRF number: DHRFII-05-603-01
DESCRIPTION: The Center would like to
contribute to the creation and continuity of
a community in which children from poor
origins or handicapped could have access to
professional or basic education and take
control of their future. The right to
education is a fundamental right for any
child of school age. The lack of
specialized schools and trained teachers has
dramatic consequences on the psychological
well being of the handicapped children in
Djibouti. So it is important to grant this
right by remedying the existing shortcomings
in this matter. The Center, which has
already opened the first classroom for deaf
children in the country, would like to bring
the fate and difficult living conditions of
the handicapped children to the awareness of
the public and government. Handicapped
children include the deaf, the blind and the
physically handicapped.
Amount Obligated: US$ 25,000
Unliquidated Balance: US$ 25,000
B. Grantee: Ministry of Justice,
Penitentiary and Muslim Affairs, in charge
of Human Rights
DHRF number: DHRFII-05-603-02
Description: Making the information
available to those who need it is part of
the democratization of information.
Computer information allows a large
dissemination of information that reaches
beyond national borders. For the purpose of
popularizing and providing easy access to
the Constitution, fundamental laws and the
ratified International Conventions, the
creation of a website is of utmost
importance. The Ministry of Justice plans
to put in place a website for the
propagation of judicial and judiciary
information and the collection in a database
of all the conventions and treaties that the
country is committed to. It is important to
restore confidence in the justice by giving
the public the tools to know better about
their rights and duties.
Amount Obligated: US$ 25,000
Unliquidated Balance: US$ 8,684.32
3. Post appreciates Department and AID
assistance in making the funding available.
Regards.
