It presents a new model for media communicators to use in creating programming focused on peacebuilding. It is based on the authors' recent mission to Liberia to as

sess the work of Talking Drum Studio, a conflict resolution organization of media producers, journalists, and activists [...] The objectives of our research and evaluation mission to Talking Drum Studio in Monrovia, Liberia included an evaluation of the processes they use to develop conflict resolution media. We formally observed what TDS is doing on a day-to-day basis, and worked with them to generate for us and for them a clear understanding of the procedures that they employ. We analyzed the procedures and put them together in a framework that accurately characterized what they do. With the addition of a more formal assessment component, that framework became the “Responsive Programming Model” that we describe in this report. (Introduction)

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted the meeting in Amsterdam, from 6 to 9 Decem-ber 1999. Gertie Hesseling, Director of the Centre for African Studies and representing CAF/SCO, chaired the opening session. Apart from the various presentations of activities by new members and by Dutch partners, the meeting focussed on three main working themes: issues of professional organisation and structure; law and ethics; the use of new information and communication technologies (NICT), training and pro-duction. Work took place in plenary sessions following a programme designed to allow flexibility and debate. The object of the present report is to provide a faithful (but not exhaustive) record of thepresentations and the debates to which the meeting gave rise.

Im Kapitel 1 wird Geschichte und Gegenwart des IGER und sein heutiges Gesicht vorgestellt [...] In Kapitel 2 sind Sachbeiträge verschiedener Art zusammengestellt [...] Das Kapitel 3 lässt den Chor vieler Einzelstimmen vernehmen: Mitarbeiter der ersten Stunde, Kurzberichte aus Costa Rica (wo alles angefangen hat) und Honduras (wo die Idee von P.

ble way. Use it for brainstorming ideas, for planning and designing your own programmes, for learning from our own experiences - both good and bad - and for useful contacts. It includes simple - and some might say "basic" - recommendations. This handbook does not pretend to offer systematic and comprehensive management tools. Experience in Mongolia has shown that keeping everything as simple and practical as possible enables a great number of NGOs, CBOs and concerned individuals to be involved. If diluted into too much terminology and details about state-of-the-art project cycle management, the process often leads to frustration and discouragement. The objective here is to foster action. Moreover, it is a process - we believe that one learns by doing. The sophistication in project design and implementation will grow as the programme continues and as support is provided to these organizations. For a first phase programme, getting the confidence of these organizations and individuals and harnessing their energy is the most important goal." (User guide, page 2)
