Regional
Engagements
DAWN has a presence in seven regions of the South: Africa (Anglophone
and Francophone), Caribbean, Latin America, Pacific, South Asia
and South East Asia. Regional research and consultation processes
contribute significantly to the development of DAWN analyses of
the global environment.
Currently, several regions are involved in the Financing
for Development process, particularly Latin America.
South East Asia and the Caribbean are working in Gender
and Trade, part of DAWN's concern with trade and the WTO.
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights activities in the regions
included work towards the UNHIV/AIDS
conference.

The regional work of DAWN involves developing and disseminating
analysis of regional issues which connect to DAWN's research themes,
linking with region-based women's networks and development NGOs
working in these theme areas, participating in regional advocacy
processes, regularly sharing information and analysis of global
issues through regional electronic networks of feminist researchers
and activists, and generally contributing to civil society capacity-building,
particularly in respect to civil society responses to globalisation.
At the regional level, DAWN relies on the support of a number of
established networks, organisations and institutions, including
REPEM and IBASE (Latin America), Girl Power Initiative (Anglophone
Africa), WAGI (South East Asia), IIMB (South Asia) and CAFRA (Caribbean).
