PARTNERSHIPS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD
CANADIAN CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL
ANNUAL REPORT 2004/2005
Message from the Chair
and the Executive Director
THROUGH 23 PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS IN FIFTEEN COUNTRIES, CANADIAN
CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL (CCI) IS WORKING TO ADVANCE HUMAN RIGHTS,
ELIMINATE POVERTY AND REDUCE THE IMPACT OF HIV/AIDS.
For CCI, 2004/2005 has been a year of significant accomplishments. The year began with the
signing of a new five-year agreement with the
Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA) which provided a 25 per cent increase in
funding in recognition of CCI’s work. In June, we
brought together partners, Crossroaders, alumni,
colleagues in development and volunteers for our
11th International Conference to begin setting our
course for the future. The Conference drew more
than 120 participants, representing more than 30
organizations from Canada and the South, as well
as alumni and staff.
The CCI conference was an opportunity to
further our shared understanding of the issues,
as well as to discuss ideas and strategies. Creating
change requires the collective will to act, the
courage to take risks, and the skills and efforts of
many players. Throughout the year we sought
input and expertise from our peers in Canada
and abroad, CCI’s partners in Canada and the
South, and more than 70 alumni through individual interviews. This work culminated in the
development of six key directions to guide our
work over the next five years. We have refined our
mission and articulated a clear vision of what we
can achieve together. ONE WORLD where human
rights are respected, poverty is eliminated and
the impact of HIV/AIDS is reduced.

Throughout our consultation, we heard that
CCI’s approach of bringing Canadian organizations into partnership with Southern partners
was leading edge within the sector, that internationally, volunteer cooperation was seen to provide real
value as it contributed to building global social
capital, and that CCI’s volunteers could be key
agents of change in influencing policies and practices that affect people in Canada and in other
countries in the world.
As you will read, the challenges are formidable.
But as our founder James Robinson stated so
eloquently “Because we can’t do what we would like
to do is never any excuse for refusing to do what we
can do.” With our shared resources and the will to
act, we can effect change.
In this year’s annual report, we are pleased to
highlight just a few of the faces of change within
CCI – people who patiently, creatively and cooperatively are building a more equitable and sustainable world.

CONFRONTING
POVERTY AND
HIV/AIDS
AND BUILDING
HUMAN RIGHTS
Nearly half of the world’s population lives on less than two dollars US a day, while
1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty and don’t have access to safe drinking
water. This year 3.1 million people will die from AIDS. Of these, a disproportionate
number will be women. In the countries most affected by HIV/AIDS, girls and
women are infected at higher rates than boys and men – in some age groups, up to
five times higher.
These numbers are shocking and numbing. However, for those working in the
field they are all too real. This year, CCI staff were taken aback by the number of
Crossroaders on placement who sent in regular journal entries noting the deaths of
people they had come to know as friends.
You might think it difficult to maintain resolve in the face of such adversity, but in
fact it steels us to the task. In the next five years, CCI will focus its resources on poverty
reduction, mitigating the impact and reducing transmission of HIV/AIDS and
strengthening the rights of women.
At the heart of CCI’s work are people committed to building a more sustainable
and equitable world. In this year’s annual report, we are profiling but a few of CCI’s
faces of change – partners, volunteers, alumni, donors and staff who through our 23
partnership projects are strengthening individuals, organizations and communities in
15 countries.

TO CANADA CROSSROADER
“[The first exchange between the West Africa AIDS Foundation and the AIDS
Committee of London was] the beginning of a new partnership and a new
friendship … I learned a whole lot of information about how Canada is dealing
with the HIV/AIDS issues. I’ve learned a lot about harm reduction and I’ve
seen the model that is used by ACOL in terms of working with high-risk
groups. I see the future as very bright … AIDS isn’t just an African thing, it isn’t
just a Canadian thing. It’s not a black or a white thing, it’s a human thing.”

COMMITTEE OF LONDON, WAAF’S CANADIAN PARTNER.

The magnitude of the HIV/AIDS pandemic makes it hard to grasp its impact. An
estimated 5 million people were infected this past year, another 3.1 million died
and 12.5 million children were orphaned because of HIV/AIDS. For many of CCI’s
partners, the horror of HIV and AIDS plays out as an everyday reality that ruins
lives and decimates communities.
“Close relatives of a woman came to us, saying we’ve learned
that you work on AIDS, we have a family member who has been
unwell for a long time,” said Simplice Dabla, Executive Director
of CCI’s Togolese partner Recherche, Échanges et Appui aux
Initiatives Locales de Développement (REAILD). “Of her
children, there is one in fourth grade, but she won’t be able to
continue next year. The older sister has learned a trade, but
the mother is sick, the father absent, and so she must also stay
at home. And the woman herself – her sisters and brothers
don’t want to know about it. She has just her mother – all the
other members of her family have abandoned her,” says Dabla.
“We can’t do development work without attacking the problem
of HIV/AIDS, because its impact on social-economic life is
really serious.”
In response, many of CCI’s partnership projects, including
a partnership with REAILD, involve strengthening services to
deal with the multi-faceted and terrible effects of the disease,
including economic development initiatives for people living
with HIV or AIDS as well as public education to reduce transmissions and stigma. In 2004/2005, CCI was involved in eight
partnership projects with organizations working in the epic battle
against the pandemic.
Kakra Osei Bonsu Ankobiah, a staff member at the West
Africa AIDS Foundation (WAAF), which is working in partnership with CCI and the AIDS Committee of London (ACOL) in
Ontario, learned strategies to reach groups identified as ‘highrisk’ for HIV infection, and to help reduce stigma for groups
3
like the gay population, that tend to go unidentified and unassisted due to cultural attitudes about homosexuality.
In Suriname, Crossroaders contributed to public education
to combat homophobia and raise awareness of HIV/AIDS.
Crossroader Julia Wong taught young people to shoot and produce promotional videos to educate the public about the disease. These public service videos air nationally on Surinamese
television and are also available to partner organizations. CCI
also supported a South-South exchange between our Surinamese
partner, the Stichting Mamio Namen Projekt, and an organization in Trinidad which is a leader in AIDS service work in the
Caribbean. In the coming year, a new program supporting
community radio programming will supply information on HIV
and AIDS to Suriname’s chronically under serviced interior.
Through initiatives such as these, CCI’s partnerships are helping to halt the spread of HIV and supporting people affected by
AIDS. Crossroaders working on the issue bring back a heightened
awareness of the human cost of the disease (letters home regularly
bear news of the deaths of colleagues and friends they have
made). We know Canadians care. Last year under pressure from
citizens and NGOs, the Canadian government passed groundbreaking legislation which will allow Canadian generic drug companies to export life saving drugs at low cost to developing countries.
Yet, there remains much to be done. Northern governments have
yet to deliver on promises of funding to fight HIV/AIDS, and with
some 40 million people infected with HIV, it is essential that we
continue to support our partners in their work.

CCI’s partnership projects are a powerful way
of engaging citizens across distant borders. They
enable CCI’s Southern partners to build valuable
networks and expand their skills. This year, 21
To Canada Crossroaders came from organizations
in the South to share their experience and
work with Canadian organizations committed
to helping implement their visions for change.

CROSSROADER CHANTAL COMEAU (RIGHT) AND FOGAN KPOTOGBE, OF
CCI PARTNER REAILD, ON THEIR WAY TO A MEETING RELATING TO A
LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OUTSIDE OF VOGAN, TOGO.
CCI’s Canadian partners bring expertise, resources and enthusiasm to CCI’s
partnership projects in the South. In turn, they learn valuable lessons that will
shape their work in Canada. Their expertise spans a range of issues – HIV/AIDS
advocacy, prevention and support, indigenous rights, violence against women,
the use of cooperatives for economic development, and more. Last year, CCI
welcomed four new Canadian partners.
“SERVING OVERSEAS WITH CANADIAN CROSSROADS INTERNATIONAL (CCI) HELPED ME REALLY UNDERSTAND
WHAT POVERTY IS DOING TO OUR WORLD,” SAYS CROSSROADER MITRA MANOUCHEHRIAN WHO RECENTLY
RETURNED FROM TOGO. “IT IS TEARING AT THE VERY FABRIC OF TOGOLESE SOCIETY. IT WAS A DIFFICULT BUT
VERY IMPORTANT LESSON TO LEARN. I KNOW NOW HOW BADLY POVERTY CAN AFFECT A PEOPLE AND HOW GREAT
THE NEED IS AND I KNOW I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.”
This year Mitra was in Togo, working with partner REAILD (Recherche, Échanges et Appui aux Initiatives de Développement),
a community savings and loan organization that mobilizes local groups to identify local solutions to poverty in their communities.
REAILD uses its limited resources to support over 40 groups in income-generating initiatives like a mushroom grower’s cooperative, a poultry farm and other small-scale businesses. Given the impact of the AIDS pandemic on people and the local economy,
REAILD has identified education and prevention as a critical component of its work. Mitra worked with REAILD staff members –
half of whom are unpaid – to develop basic computer skills that will dramatically increase the efficiency of their work. Working
with fellow Crossroader Chantal Comeau, they also worked with staff to develop tools and training for group facilitation and
HIV/AIDS peer outreach programs that high school students can deliver in the schools.

“Crossroaders bring real value. I chose Canadian Crossroads
International because they take a long-term view. CCI’s commitment to building the capacity of people and organizations
to meet their own needs resonated for me.”
MITRA MANOUCHEHRIAN, CROSSROADER
Small-scale income generating and economic development
initiatives help put some measure of economic control back in
the hands of people and communities. For CCI, community
economic development is a key strategy in helping people to meet
their basic needs. This year, Crossroader Gabrielle Eagles conducted market research in Bolivia to assist CCI partner PEAP
(Programa de Estudios y Apoyo a la Producción)/Foncresol, in
establishing new communal banks in the cities of Sucre and
Camagro. The banks will help people to support their families by
providing access to low-interest loans and assistance in launching small businesses.
Ruben Usnayo Ramos, Project Officer with PEAP/Foncresol
partner ANED (Asociación Nacional Ecuménica de Desarrollo),
expanded his knowledge of loan analysis and project management in Canada by working with Wheat Belt Community
Futures Development in Brandon, Manitoba, which works with
CCI’s partner the Centre for Community Enterprise (CCE).
With this experience, he can better support ANED in providing
access to credit to poor rural communities across Bolivia.
The CCE sees international solidarity which strengthens
economies at the community level as an increasingly important
element of their work. “We need to do a much better job in
Canada of creating awareness and educating people that the
international market mechanism is not the only legitimate
arbiter of economic and social life,” says Michelle Colussi,
manager of CCE’s Technical Assistance Division. “… we have a
lot to learn from the Bolivians – their analysis is comparatively
more sophisticated and it resonates with citizens to a much
greater extent.”
In Niger, Crossroader Mélanie Rheault worked with staff of
the ONPHDB (l’Organisation nigérienne pour la promotion
de l’hydraulique et du développement à la base), which promotes
sustainable community management of local forest resources to
fight desertification. Together, they instituted an accounting
system and developed tools for project management and communication, as well as a five-year strategic plan to guide their
work improving the local environment and creating sustainable livelihoods for the community.
While most of our work focuses on strengthening Southern
organizations’ ability to meet the needs of their communities, we
recognize that, for development projects to fully succeed, change
must occur at the global level. CCI is also taking part in the
Global Call to Action Against Poverty through Canada’s Make
Poverty History Campaign. Despite the complexities of the issue,
the campaign’s demands are simple and achievable: More and
Better Aid. Trade Justice. Cancel the Debt. End Child Poverty in
Canada. In the coming years we will continue to work with our
partners to influence policies and systems, in our own countries
and globally, to support sustainable development.

“If I can help to create strong, long-term
relationships between Bolivian organizations
and organizations in Canada – that they will
take on a life of their own beyond the project –
that would be success for me. We are making a
contribution – one person and one organization
at a time in Canada, we are working to expose
Canadians to another perspective – and to their
own reality reflected back at them. This will
build greater co-operation and solidarity.”

CCI’s partnership projects bring Southern partners into international networks that
assist them in achieving their goals. This year, 21 Southern partners came to
Canada for our International Conference and had the opportunity to meet face to
face with CCI staff and volunteers, and their Canadian counterparts. As well,
CCI facilitated four exchanges between partner organizations in the South.
Regular project planning meetings and evaluations ensure that CCI’s work is
responsive to the context and realities of our partners. Through exchanges of staff
and volunteers, CCI’s partners strengthen their programs and enhance their
capacity to engage in local policy and advocacy work as well as working with others to effect broader systemic change at national or international levels.

“I really want to commend CCI for basically walking the talk. I know with most
organizations they talk about partnership but only at a certain level... We don’t
only have people from the North going to the South, we also have people from
the South going to the North. I think that’s another unique feature for CCI.”

Advancing women’s human rights
In country after country, women do not enjoy fundamental human rights – things as
basic as freedom from violence, the right to own property, to vote or to decide how
many children to have. Direct targets of violence at home, in the street and in times of
war, women also suffer disproportionate levels of poverty and ill health (including HIV
infection), lack of representation in government and restrictions on their rights to
learn, to own land, and to speak their minds.
In many countries, women work double and triple duty as breadwinners and
caregivers to their children, parents, and family members stricken with AIDS. An
investment in improving women’s lives benefits the entire community. CCI assists
partners in asserting women’s rights in practical ways: supporting women’s cooperatives to produce goods such as shea butter for sale; developing new program
approaches such as providing literacy classes while supporting income generation;
assisting with advocacy campaigns to increase women’s rights in their communities or
developing appropriate services and responses for victims of violence.
“The shared goals were that I learn more about counselling, the legal system and
child counselling, and [the placement] basically met these goals,” explains Xolile
Mazibuko, a volunteer counsellor at Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse (SWAGAA)
and a To Canada Crossroader. “In Canada it was different. The counsellors play with
the children and their story comes out in the play. … with play they make the child in
control, so that maybe later in life the child will remember that someone cared and
gave them the opportunity to make decisions....We are trying to find a playroom so that
we can introduce that at SWAGAA ... The best thing [about the project] is [gaining]
exposure and experience to gender-based violence programs in different settings.”
“Xolile went to Canada and came back with a wide experience of things that have
been done in advocacy and lobbying and initiatives in counselling that we are going
to implement in our organization to improve our services,” adds Nonhlanhla
Dlamini, Director of SWAGAA. Recent SWAGAA successes in lobbying include the
creation this year of a separate sexual offences court where children can testify
without having to come face-to-face with
the perpetrator.
Also this year, To-Swaziland Crossroader Linda Roberts helped SWAGAA
develop a fundraising plan and grantwriting skills crucial to funding and
developing their work.
Another partnership, between Quebec’s Femmes en Mouvement and Senegal’s Association des femmes de la Médina
(AFEME), led to the realization of the
biggest International Women’s Day
event in Senegal this year with the goal of
raising awareness of women’s rights
among the women of the Médina region
and beyond. It was part of a vital partnership that is working to improve the
situation of women in Senegal by developing their leadership and organizational
management skills. Through the partnership, women are empowered to play a
stronger role in civic life. Activities
include the creation of a batik workshop
where women can create and sell their
work, one of a number of initiatives
where they are able to increase their economic self-sufficiency with concrete,
marketable skills.

The CCI Community:
Global Citizens in Action
In interviews and casual conversations alike, Crossroaders
tell us their CCI experience fundamentally changed their
lives. Years after their placements have been completed,
many continue to work for change in their communities.
In 2005, CCI volunteers – Crossroaders and other interested
members of the community – came together to achieve some
spectacular results. At the International Conference in
Montreal, CCI veterans Jean-Marc Hachey and Harry Qualman
did a retrospective of Crossroaders in action to the delight of all
in attendance. Crossroaders Julia Wong and Lori Willocks, in
partnership with many friends of CCI, mounted Common
Ground, a traveling photo exhibition inspired by their work in
Guatemala and Suriname which toured Western Canada. In
Ontario, CCI volunteer Salina Kassam traveled to India to document the HIV/AIDS work of CCI partner Human Uplift Trust
(HUT) and mounted an exhibition, Shades of Hope, in Toronto,
which was complemented by the words of Crossroaders recently
returned from the project. In Quebec Fere Kene and Mouneissa,
two short documentary films on CCI projects in Mali produced
by Crossroaders Mélanie Dumont and Patrick Aubert, were part
of Montreal’s annual African film festival Vues d’Afrique. And
Crossroaders participating in the social theatre project in Mali
took their Malian production on the road in Quebec, touring
high schools in and around Montreal to raise awareness of
11
African development issues. In Halifax volunteers have hosted
alumni parties, silent auctions and speakers’ tours with To
Canada Crossroaders. Most recently, they successfully lobbied
the Mayor to declare 2005-2006 as the Make Poverty History
year in Halifax. Canada’s Make Poverty History Campaign has
also provided an unprecedented moment for action. CCI alumni,
donors and volunteers across the country are making their voices heard demanding the Canadian government take leadership
in ensuring More and Better Aid, Debt Cancellation, Trade
Justice and an End to Child Poverty in Canada. And of course,
volunteers continue to provide a solid foundation for CCI’s
programs through their work in governance, policy development, recruitment, orientation, fundraising, project committees, as well as hosting volunteers and partners coming to Canada.
Our work would not be possible without these generous
contributions of time and expertise. In the last year alone,
volunteer contributions were valued at almost $2-million. To
all who have been a part of CCI’s work this past year, we would
like to extend our sincere thanks.
“We no longer just talk about the situation for women in Quebec, we speak
about the international level. That’s huge for us. It has allowed us to reflect
on different issues, for example fair trade. It has given us an opening to the
world … It’s something really special for Femmes en Mouvement to participate
in this project, to have support for international solidarity, to make links …
It’s really a beautiful project.” HÉLÈNE MORIN, CANADIAN PARTNER ORGANIZATION FEMMES EN MOUVEMENT

“The context has changed.
When we had these opportunities
in the 60s to go with Crossroads,
they were very new, and they
were in countries that didn’t
have a large skilled education
base … and that’s all changed.
There are lots and lots of skilled
African nurses and teachers
and doctors. I think that
the actual experience of being
in touch with people, the
cross-cultural experience, the
understanding of development,
of the politics – at that level
I don’t think that’s changed.
People continue to say, as
in the sixties, this experience
changed my life.”
BETTY PLEWES (ETHIOPIA ’64, LIBERIA ’68).
BETTY IS PAST PRESIDENT AND CEO OF
THE CANADIAN COUNCIL FOR INTERNATIONAL
COOPERATION, OF WHICH CCI IS A MEMBER
ORGANIZATION, AND IS CURRENTLY A BOARD
