However, the funding is available for one staff from only 10 member parliaments of APLESA.

All the members are therefore asked to submit one name of your staff to participate in the Association of Parliamentary Libraries in Eastern and Southern Africa (APLESA) Strategic Planning Workshop due to be held in Kampala- Uganda July 30- Aug 3, 2001, as soon as possible to enable necessary arrangements to be made for travel, etc.

Secondly, I advise that you also send me one name of your staff that I should forward to the Parliamentary Centre, Canada for possible selection to benefit from the APLESA Attachment programme.

I am also reminding the members who did not submit their parliaments' profiles to do so. The guidelines for compiling this information are given below. Send the profile to the secretary by attachment through e-mail address sengitu@parliament.go.ug or <woboli@hotmail.com>. This will enable him to include your parliaments' profile to APLESA website www.aplesa.org.

The Workshop programme shown here below is a tentative programme that may change according to the turn of events and the needs and wish of the participants.
