DESCRIPTION:IDEX invites you to the second International Development Series (IDS) panel 
 of 2005.  With the date for elections just announced for March 31st, we 
 bring together a panel to discuss current political, social, health and 
 economic conditions in Zimbabwe. The outlook for free and fair elections 
 "appears bleak," as major news outlets are terming it, and there are 
 already widespread reports of voters purged from the rolls.  HIV/AIDS rates 
 remain astronomical.  And the economy is plagued by high unemployment 
 levels, poverty and the highest inflation rate in the world.  Given these 
 challenges, how can NGOs and supporters here continue to assist in efforts 
 to effect social change?  What are the constraints, risks and realities for 
 ongoing human rights work?  And how do we keep the U.S. public engaged – 
 intellectually, politically, and financially – in supporting 
 Zimbabweans’ struggles for democracy given these realities and risks? 
 Come join us for this engaging panel discussion on the present and future 
 of Zimbabwe.  Panelists:   David Katzenstein MD, Professor of Infectious 
 Diseases and Geographic Medicine, Stanford University  Muadi Mukenge, 
 Program Officer for Africa, the Global Fund for Women  Chris Paterson, 
 Assistant Professor of Media Studies, University of San Francisco  Pete 
 Stanga, Executive Director, IDEX  Moderated by Sarah Dotlich, Africa 
 Program Director, IDEX  \n
