The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

THE NATIONAL ADVOCACY AND TRAINING PROGRAMME ON HIV, TB, SRH AND HUMAN RIGHTS
After being trained by KELIN as a CHA in September and November 2017, I have been able to conduct sensitisation meetings to various groups of people on HIV and AIDS, sexual reproductive health and health-related human rights.
This community-based advocacy has brought about positive change in the community I work in based on the way people relate to people living with HIV. It has reduced the level of stigmatisation and has done away with myths on HIV and AIDS.
Working with like-minded organisations both county-based and NGOs has been the best experience. This is because this approach has brought more ideas on board. The continuous sensitisation between these periods has resulted in positive behaviour change within the communities. For example, cases of sexual abuse are no longer rampant in my area. Women have become confident in seeking family planning services at health care facilities. This shows they have done away with myths about family planning methods.
My continuous sensitisation on HIV prevention, care and treatment has seen increased the number of people visiting health care facilities for HIV testing, referrals and further management.
My involvement and linkages with the area Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in my work has made my work easy since the CHVs are knowledgeable of the issues I address. Entry into the community with them has been easier because they are already known in their respective communities. This has enhanced synergy in my work with them.
The county dialogue forum organised by KELIN in February 2018, which brought together different partners, was the best activity. At least it allowed participants to interact widely with various categories of people. Though these networks, I have been invited to several meetings to sensitise people on health rights and more so to talk about the need to embrace the key populations in promoting and protecting their human rights, health, personal dignity and privacy without discrimination.
Just after the county dialogue forum held by KELIN in Migori County in February 2018, I received several invitations from different organisations to sensitise people on SRH, TB and HIV.
This also includes an invitation from an SDA church pastor who invited me to speak to the church congregation after the service. I also received an invitation from the area Chief to speak during the chief’s weekly community baraza (council) scheduled every Tuesday and Friday. I used the same platforms to even distribute condoms.
Community advocacy has strengthened my network with organisations like LVCT Health, NYARAMI VCT, University of Maryland, Migori County Referral Hospital and other NGOs operating in the area.
KELIN in partnership with the Kenya Sex Workers Alliance (KESWA) and Lwala Community Alliance with financial and technical support from ARASA launched the Kenya National HIV, TB and Human Rights Training and Advocacy Country Programme. This programme was implemented in five counties of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Homa Bay and Migori, through the Community Health Volunteers otherwise referred to as Community Health Advocates (CHAs). The five counties were selected due to the high prevalence rates of HIV, TB and human rights violations concerning key populations (sex workers, men who have sex with men and injecting drug users).
The programme undertook to realise the following objectives. To enhance the capacity of CSOs, CBOs and communities to advocate and create demand for HIV, TB and SRH services in five Kenyan counties by March 2019; advocate for an enabling legal environment through a review of laws, policies and practices that act as barriers to access to HIV, TB and SRH services in Kenya by March 2019; facilitate access to justice in respect of human rights violations affecting persons living with and those affected by HIV and TB in Kenya by March 2019; and strengthen networks of CSOs, CBOs and communities that will hold duty bearers accountable in the provision of HIV, TB and SRH services in Kenya by March 2019.
Clare is among the 30 Community Health Advocates (CHAs) from the five counties recruited and taken through the basic and advanced training by KELIN and the partners. After the training in September 2017, the CHAs were commissioned and tasked to raise awareness on HIV and TB rights, increase treatment literacy, and demand for quality health care services among the community members within their counties. Being natives of their communities, the CHAs understood the social dynamics of their localities. This enabled them to provide objective counselling and education that helped to shape the opinions of the community with limited resistance and contributed to the strengthening of community health facility linkages. They also provide facts to demystify myths and misconceptions associated with HIV, TB, SRH and issues of key populations.
Through these efforts, stigma and discrimination and other forms of human rights violations of persons living with HIV, TB and other vulnerable populations have significantly reduced. The CHAs have also been instrumental in advocating for strengthened linkages between communities and health services on HIV and TB testing, care and treatment as well as sexual reproductive health. They hold regular feedback meetings and conduct community outreaches by leveraging on existing community platforms including chief’s barazas (councils), community dialogue forums, social gatherings, seminars/workshops, trainings and in health facilities. These outreaches target the duty bearers, community members in general but with more attention to persons living with and affected by HIV and TB, key populations, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and the media
Page from the theatre programme for a production of "The Gondoliers" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in November / December 1921. This page includes a synopsis for Act Two.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "The Gondoliers" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (and a Saturday matinee) from Monday 28th November to Saturday 3rd December 1921. The comic opera was written by William S. Gilbert with music by Arthur Sullivan. The KAODS production was produced by Avalon Collard, with musical director Jos. Scargill.
The story is set in 1750, in the canal-riddled city of Venice and the Palace of Barataria. Two Gondoliers - brothers Marco and Guiseppe Palmieri (played by Arthur E. Ramsden and Watson M. Walker) - are to select brides from the gathered peasant girls. They settle upon Gianetta (Edith Robson) and Tessa (Mabel Rothera) but the wedding celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza Toro (Ernest Marsden and Marion Holmes) with their daughter Casilda (Agnes Battle). As an infant, Casilda was married by proxy to the heir of the King of Barataria, but then, for political reasons, that heir was hidden away and was raised by a Gondolier - and it is believed that either Marco or Guiseppe is that heir! While the heir's original nurse, who could identify the true heir, is sent for, the two brothers are removed to the Palace where they reign jointly. Their new wives are left behind and Casilda is left waiting to discover which is her betrothed. The nurse finally arrives and it turns out that the heir is actually the Duke and Duchess' servant Luiz (John Pickles), the secret lover of Casilda, and so everyone can be reunited with their true loves.
The show also starred W. Bruce Johnston, Sidney Calvert, Alan Petty, Harry Binns, Charles H. Dewhirst, Hilda Smith, Kitty Connolly, Cissie Jowett and Walter Bannister.
The Keighley News of Saturday 3rd December 1921 reviewed the production: "Mr. Johnston and Mr. Marsden are sufficiently versatile to adequately fill almost any roles in comic opera or musical comedy, and when we say that they are successful as Don Alahambra and The Duke of Plaza-Toro respectively we can pay them no higher compliment. Both fully appreciate the subtleties of the Gilbertian humour, whether in song or dialogue, and avoid temptation to exaggerate what is almost wholly the mirth-provoking part of the opera. Moreover, they deliver their lines clearly - a remark which applies to the cast generally... Mr. J. Harker - who, by the way, played Lunz in the 1908 presentation - handles his forces quite smartly as the hon. musical director, and the tasteful work of the orchestra adds considerably to the success of the performance. The restraint shown in their work is distinctly commendable. The dressing and staging of the opera leaves nothing to be desired."
The Society had already performed "The Gondoliers" in 1908, and would to do so again, thirty years later, in 1951.

Testimonial game for William Bardsley (1946/47 - 1951/52) and Cyril Davies (1946/47 - 1959/60)
William Bardsley:
Before moving to Macclesfield had played for Crewe Alexandra. He also captained the Royal Navy Team at Lowestoft. A gifted player who gave 100% in every match and whilst he was a recognised defender there were a few occasions when he was used in attack. He won a Challenge Cup winners' medal in 1948 and a Cheshire Senior Cup winners' medal in 1950. A joint Testimonial game for him and Cyril Davies was held on 23 April 1951 against Bury from which he received £150.
Cyril Davies:
A local lad and son of a former Macclesfield player, Cyril initially played for Northampton reserves. During the Second World War he served in the RAF and played for teams around Rugby during 1944-45. On his transfer to Cheadle, Staffordshire he was captain of the unit's team in the Longton League. Cyril had the honour of being chosen for a Combined Services team who played against Czechoslovakia.
During his time with the Silkmen Cyril was described as a cool, resourceful and clever player. He signed for Macclesfield in 1946 and was a defender for his first four seasons playing at left-half although he was the side's right-half in 1947-48. On the arrival of Walter Shepherd he moved to the outside-left position replacing Ken Speak, a position which he made his own.
A regular in the team for much of his playing time, he was virtually ever-present from 1946 to 1950 and was ever-present in 1952-53 when the side were Champions of the Cheshire League. He gained a Challenge Cup winners' medal in 1948 and three winners' medals in the Cheshire Senior Cup in 1951, 1952 and 1954. He notched up his 400th appearance in February 1955 when he was made captain for the day. On 23 April 1951 a joint Testimonial match for Cyril and William Bardsley was held when Bury were the visitors, from which they each received £150.
When he retired from playing he became the team’s coach having passed the FA’s preliminary examination, however, Cyril was called out of retirement when he played in his last match for the Silkmen on 21 November 1959 at Mossley.

The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
â¢25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
â¢Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
â¢EBRDâs Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society

In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRDâs traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil societyâs contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a âreputational actorâ performing a âwatchdogâ function and as a generator of âsocial capitalâ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil societyâs input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRDâs traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bankâs establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.
