<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>GCAP is working on a three year plan for which is
asking for comments from all constituencies. We are active reading and making
some suggestions. It would be great if you read it, particularly the section on
Women's rights and gender justice as central issue of poverty eradication (5.1.
of the document), There is time till 20 November, so if you have comments,
please send them to the list or directly to Rosa or me shortly before that date
so we have time to introduce your comments. You can see below the links to

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=343222707-03112008>I hope all of you will be
keeping well. GCAP's Strategic Direction Group in its telecall last week has
decided to extend the date of final comments and suggestions on 3-year strategic
plan document (2009-11) till November 20. The group took this decision in light
of the fact that coalitions and constituency groups were busy with the
mobilization around Stand-up and Take Action DAYS and was not possible for most
of them to focus on this important document and send comments till Oct 15. It
was also recognized in the call that the document should be updated by adding
details on the current financial crisis and other challenges facing civil
society before presenting to Global Council on December 18 for final review and
approval. Please note that SD group will review all the comments from the
coalitions and regions and will incorporate those in the document by the end of
November. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
