Dear Mobility / Bicycle Lovers, Advocates, Planners and Policy Makers,

RE: PAN AFRICAN BICYCLE CONFERENCE AND LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

The First African Bicycle Information Office is organising an International
Bicycle Conference scheduled to take place on the 21st - 25th November 2001
in Jinja.
This event is targeting academicians, mobility experts, bicycle
organisations, bicycle industires, governments, and other levels of policy
making and interested individuals and institutions.

The idea behind this confernce is to create a forum for sharing ideas,
expertise and experiences and considers the meaning of non motorised
mobility in teh developing countries particularly Africa.

A PABIC planning workshop has been organised to take place on the 17th and
18th May 2001 in Jinja. Among other things, this workshop will look at the
different paper extracts so as to design the conference accordingly.

In this respect, we would like to make a final call for papers for PABIC
under the themes indicated. The papers should focus:

Bicycle and policy taxation 
Bicycle and gender 
Safe roads to schools 
Transport planning in Developing Countries 
Transport accessibility and affordability 
Bicycle and Agriculture 
Networking and advocacy for affordable mobility 
Sustainable transport, development and human settlement 
Non motorised transport and the environment 
Non motorised transport and the economy 
Rural non motorised transport/ Appropriate technology transport for smaller
holder farmer
Women , health productivity and rural mobility
The role of civil society in structural planning for rural and urban areas.

These are broad topics, but your focus should be narrowed down according to
your experiences. The extract should be not more than 350 words clearly
stating the purpose of work to be described in the final paper. These
letters should reach FABIO Secretariate, not later than 10th May 2001. 

The paper should be written using WORD 97 or an earlier format and e-mailed
to us as an attachment. 

In this context we are currently building up a website, which can be
accessed under: www.connect-uganda.net/fabiobspw.htm

Thank you very much for your interest and cooperation.

With many greetings from Jinja,
the FABIO team
