In the present issue, a large proportion of the columns will be been devoted to the Reflection and Self-Evaluation Workshop held in Brussels on 16-18 October with the partners of the Dimitra Project. We hand over to the partners, who have drawn up two documents on the proceedings of the workshop: one reviews the effects of Dimitra Project participation, and the other draws conclusions and makes recommendations for the future of the Project. These two documents will be backed up with extracts from the reports drawn up by the partners for the Workshop. We are also publishing the address delivered by Ms Marie Randriamamonjy on Day 3 of the Workshop in the presence of Mr. Eddy Boutmans, the Belgian Secretary of State for Development Cooperation. And there are further articles on the impact of the Dimitra Project in Algeria and Senegal. The Fourth Meeting of the ISC took place in Dakar from 22-24 November. The main theme was “Rural women’s access to and control over productive factors”
