Bernard Conyers AwardThe aim of this annual international award is to encourage the dissemination of information or ideas related to rural development - this fund cannot be used to support research or educational studies. Priority is given to material relating to the Third World, the links between Europe and the Third World or the lessons that Europe can learn from Third World experience, and to applications from NGOs. We are especially interested in helping to distribute material that might otherwise remain unpublished or unavailable to those working at field level and who would not normally have access to conventional means of communicating their ideas or to hearing about our work. £6000-£8000 is usually available for up to two or three awards.

Kimanzi Muthengi, Kenya, whose project was to produce a video entitled 'Lessons and challenges of the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) methodology in the Third World: The Kenyan Experience' is aiming to send it out later this year. 2000 Awards: Three awards were made: Ken Kalonde, Malawi - to publish and promote a booklet on herbal medicines and treatments; C Paul Alaga Rasan, Tamul Nadu - to produce/distribute a video entitled Innovative Backyard Mini Fish Farming and Mokbul Morshed Ahmad, Bangladesh - to publish a book on the NGOs in Bangladesh.
