Call for applications - deadline 30 October 2010

In 2001 the Durban Declarationand Programme of Action (DDPA) recognized that people of African descent have for centuries been victims of racism, racial discrimination and enslavement. It therefore spoke to the imprtance and necessity of ensuring their full intergation into social, economic and political life. While great strides have been made towards such integration in many societies where there are people of African descent, much more progress needs to be achieved.
