A Message From President Jimmy Carter

t The Carter Center, we bring hope to people in more than 65 countriesacross the globe. Whether educating Liberians about voting during thefirst presidential election since 1997 or distributing an antibiotic to prevent blindness in Mexican villagers, the Center builds brighter futures

for people often forgotten by the rest of the world. On a recent trip to Africa, we saw Ethiopians who were empowered to better

their own lives by building thousands of latrines in some of the most impoverishedand isolated communities in their country due to a comprehensive education campaign by The Carter Center. The latrines improve community sanitation andhelp stop the spread of trachoma, a devastating infection that can cause blindness.

Millions of people who suffered from Guinea worm disease have reason to hopeas the Center enters the final stages of disease eradication. The number of cases hasbeen reduced by more than 99.5 percent since the program began, from 3.5 millioncases in 1986 to fewer than 12,000 cases in 2005.

And there is hope and renewal today in countries torn apart by civil war andpolitical violence, such as Liberia, the Palestinian state, Ethiopia, and Mozambique,where The Carter Center recently observed elections to promote democracy andbuild a strong foundation for peace.

As a leading expert on election monitoring, The Carter Center, in partnershipwith the United Nations and other nongovernmental organizations, spearheadedan international movement to establish election observation protocol and standards to create more accurate and universal evaluation criteria.

In addition, the Center continues to work to strengthen democracy by promoting government transparency and campaign finance reform in LatinAmerican countries.

We dare to dream the impossible and make it a reality. Peace where there was none before, human rights protected where they were abused, and diseaseseradicated where they were once rampant.

We are changing lives for a more hopeful future, and we are doing it with your help and support.

Looking across the many rows ofwood-and-mud shacks that housemore than 12,000 people in acamp for displaced persons in MargibiCounty, Liberia, Jacob Lablah knows he still has work to do. The scene insidethe camp varies little from day to day.Women sit patiently next to stands sell-

ing combs, seasonings, and rice whilechildren carry toys made from tin cansand old plastic bottles, their shirts intatters and hanging off their shoulders.Men play checkers on a splinteredwooden board for hours. People herehave no jobs, no means to improvetheir lives, and no real place to call home.

This displacedpersons campoutside Kakata,Liberia, is one ofthe places whereJacob Lablah registers peopleto vote.

Once a schoolteacher, Jacob Lablah (above) now teaches civics to his fellow Liberians, includingstudents at St. Christopher Catholic High School (right).

Hundreds of thousands of Liberians live insimilar camps across the country, and it is in conditions like this that Lablah works to registervoters and conduct civic education in prepara-tion for Liberia’s first national election since1997. He was once a physics and math teacherbut now has devoted himself entirely to teachingcivics to his fellow Liberians. He founded a grass-roots organization called Promoting Activitiesfor Development and Sustenance (PADS),which is assisted by The Carter Center. He and his small staff educate voters in MargibiCounty’s camps, in high schools, and across the region’s villages and towns.

The process has been difficult at times. Many Liberians were skeptical that their votesmattered or that an election would bring change.Their primary concern was getting food for their families, said Lablah, not learning aboutgovernment. But Lablah has helped them realizethat the democratic process is the means forimproving the quality of life in Liberia.

Lablah’s work involves not only instructing

voters about how to correctly fill out a ballot but also teaching residents the legal frameworkguiding elections and their human rights asLiberian citizens.

“We try to tell them that life is not yet finished,” said Lablah. “We try to make themunderstand that if they aren’t a part of this particular election, and they aren’t a part ofselecting and electing their policy leaders, certainly there will be no change.”

The persistent efforts of Lablah, PADS, andother Carter Center partners in Liberia paid offwith high voter turnout for the 2005 elections.Some Liberians waited overnight in line to vote,and others walked for up to seven hours to reachtheir polling stations.

Now that the historic election is over, Lablahwill continue to educate Liberians about theircivic rights and responsibilities.

“My greatest hope is sustaining a democracy,”said Lablah. “The election is not the end of theroad. It’s the beginning.”

eak democratic institutions in the Western Hemisphere burden the development of peaceful and prosperous governments and impair the protection of basic human rights. The Americas Program helps addressthese problems by promoting democracy, fostering government trans-

parency, and championing campaign finance reform. In May 2005, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and 22 other leaders from

the Western Hemisphere formed the Friends of the Inter-American DemocraticCharter to encourage dialogue about weaknesses in the region’s democracies andways to strengthen them through the charter. Approved by the Organization of

American States in 2001, the charter provideda way for member countries to address threatsto regional democracy but little definition ofwhat constituted a threat.

Serving as the secretariat for the Friends ofthe Inter-American Democratic Charter, theAmericas Program worked with the group toidentify conditions that would constitute analteration of democracy, including failure tohold elections that meet minimal internationalstandards, arbitrary removal of members of thejudiciary or electoral bodies, and the silencingof political opposition, media, or civil society.The group also sent two missions to Nicaraguato assess the political conflict in 2005.

Also this year, the Carter Center’s Access to Information Project, which works to buildgovernment transparency, expanded its pres-ence in Jamaica and Bolivia to a third nation,Nicaragua. The Carter Center has had a long relationship with Nicaragua, monitoringelections there since 1989. The Access toInformation Project seeks to establish voluntaryopenness strategies in Nicaragua through selectpilot ministries, build consensus among civilsociety and the government, and provide tech-nical assistance to legislators tasked with draft-ing access-to-information laws.

Another way the Americas Program is working to strengthen democracy is throughpolitical finance reform, including political

“There was a commission of inquiry in Jamaica regardingsome prison beatings. One commissioner decided thateven though it was a public process, the ordinary citizenwas not entitled to take notes. We took the case all theway to the Supreme Court and won. The basis of thatcase was that members of the press enjoy their rights to disseminate information because they are ordinary citizens, so ordinary citizens should have this right tomonitor public proceedings, too. I don’t think we canoverstate the role The Carter Center has played in providing training to help Jamaica move away from a culture of secrecy to a culture of openness.”

Conflict Resolution Program

he Center’s Conflict Resolution Program works around the world to curb ongoing disputes and stop violence before it escalates into war.

In January, as part of a Carter Center election mission, President Carter and conflict resolution staff met with Israeli Prime Minister Arial

Sharon and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss futureactions on the Middle East peace process. After the subsequent Gaza disengage-ment, the program hosted a high-level conference on peace in the region.

The 2004 assassination of Guinea-Bissau’s chief of staff of the armed forcesprompted an invitation from the Alliance for International Conflict Resolution for The Carter Center to assess tensions and provide recommendations to preventfurther bloodshed. Major parties accepted program staff counsel to follow the political process, and elections were held in a peaceful environment.

Also in Africa, the Carter Center’s Conflict Resolution and Democracy pro-grams have worked with the people of Liberia for a decade through the transition from civil war to a peace agreement and open elections this past year. A focal point for many conflicts in the region, security and democracy in Liberiawill have a significant impact on peace in the region.

In Asia, the Conflict Resolution Program monitored the conflict betweenMaoist insurgents and the Nepalese government, networked with Nepali leaders,and arranged a meeting between President Carter and the key actors in the conflict.

And in the United States, the Conflict Resolution Program co-convened its second consultation on the future of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, bringingtogether representatives of countries that have rejected nuclear weapons but havethe potential to develop them. President Carter wrote to 28 heads of state urgingtheir support for constructive reform.

he Carter Center advances democracy worldwide by providing inde-pendent assessments of the quality of elections and working to strengthendemocratic institutions and processes. As impartial and respectedobservers, the Center’s Democracy Program works to build confidence that

elections are conducted transparently and without interference. The Center hadobserved 61 elections in 25 nations as of October 2005.

In the past year, Center observers witnessed democratic gains in three Africannations and in the Middle East.

Following the death of Yasser Arafat, Center representatives observed the historic Palestinian election of MahmoudAbbas as president inJanuary 2005.

Carter Center Backs New Observation Standards

Representatives of nearly two dozen electionobservation organizations worldwide, includingThe Carter Center, joined U.N. Secretary-GeneralKofi Annan in endorsing a set of common standards for professional and effective electionobservation in October 2005.

The 12-page Declaration of Principles and anaccompanying Code of Conduct bring participatingobserver groups for the first time under a commonset of standards for observation and provide guide-lines for best practices in the field. The initiativewas started by The Carter Center, the UnitedNations Electoral Assistance Division, and theNational Democratic Institute, which jointlyserved as the secretariat for the project.

“Our hope is that the declaration will enableconsistency among observer groups and ensure the effectiveness and credibility of observation missions worldwide,” President Carter said.

The new standards commit endorsing organizations to act impartially, monitor all stages of the election process, and accept no funding from host governments. They also establishprerequisites that must be met for internationalobservation, including freedom of movement, freedom to make public statements, and free access to information.

Since the Carter Center’s groundbreaking agree-ment with China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs(MCA) in 1997 to assist with standardizing villageelections, the Center has expanded to working in 14provinces across China, reaching 353,817 villages.

Last year, the Center worked with the MCA topromote fair and competitive village elections andenhance the governance skills of elected village leaders, and in May 2005, observed elections in a Tibetan village in Qinghai province.

The Carter Center also partnered with the MCAand the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences tolaunch the first national survey on village electionsand self-governance, involving 520 villages in some20 provinces. This survey will offer an independentand scientific assessment of the quality of village elections and scale of villagers’ political participation.

The Center commended thewell-functioning, peaceful voting process but urgedattention to persistent and serious problems withvoter registries and tabulation of results.

The Center sponsored two training camps for the deputies in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, andWeifang, Shandong province, to sharpen their budgeting and personnel skills and ability to evaluate government performance.

The Chinese Web site on elections and governance(www.chinaelections.org), sponsored by The CarterCenter, reached a new stage in 2005 with averagedaily hits of about 4,000. It has become an importantonline platform for debating reform issues and deliberating about democratic experiments. It is, in the words of one Chinese scholar, the barometer of China’s long-overdue political reform.

In addition, the Center hosted Chinese electionofficials to observe voting procedures during the U.S. presidential elections in Chattanooga, Tenn.,and Atlanta, Ga. Officials from the MCA and the National People’s Congress examined local campaigning, voter registration, ballot counting, and verification procedures to determine if new measures could be implemented in China.

uman rights defenders worldwide gathered at The Carter Center in June 2005 for theirsecond forum in the series “Human RightsDefenders on the Frontlines of Freedom” to

report on abuses enabled by the global fight againstterrorism and to urge global support for nonviolentgrassroots efforts to protect human rights and promote democracy.

Activists represented 14 countries as well as majorhuman rights organizations and included U.N. HighCommissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour andU.N. Special Representative for Human RightsDefenders Hina Jilani.

The group asserted that, although the war againstterrorism is necessary, many countries claiming to bepartners in the U.S. fight against terrorism use it as apretext to restrict freedoms and target human rightsdefenders, undermining the prospects for democracyand human rights in those countries. Conference participants also condemned revelations of systematic torture in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo Bay,Cuba, as well as policies of indefinitely detaining terror suspects in those and other secret detentionfacilities.

Recommendations included: closing Guantánamoand the two dozen secret detention facilities run bythe United States as soon as is practical; establishingan independent commission with authority to investi-

gate and publicly report on places where terrorism suspects are held in U.S. custody; and calling for concerted international action to build a culture ofhuman rights in every nation and to combat the mostextreme human rights violations in such places asBurma, Uzbekistan, and Zimbabwe.

On another human rights front, the long-standingcall to end execution of juveniles in the UnitedStates, endorsed by President and Mrs. Carter, wasgiven a boost by the U.S. Supreme Court, whichruled in March 2005 that executing juvenile offendersis cruel and unusual punishment. The decision inRoper vs. Simmons acknowledged both the nationaltrend against juvenile capital punishment at the statelevel and the opinion of the international community,which uniformly renounces this practice.

Human Rights

“I’m very grateful for The Carter Center and for Human Rights First tocreate these opportunities for people to get together around this table and totalk about the situation of human rights in the different contexts from whichthey come. Because it’s not just an opportunity to vent our frustrations, it’s also an opportunity of finding ways to get out of those frustrations.”

Global Development Initiative to work with his government on a three-year program to address systemic problems in development cooperation in his country.Both President Carter and President Touré recognized that major reforms wereneeded to improve the way Mali and its donor partners interacted if Mali had any hope of achieving the kind of transformative economic growth necessary to meaningfully reduce poverty and human suffering.

Although millions of dollars in loansand grants are made available to Malieach year, it is not able to use significantamounts of these resources due to cumbersome donor aid practices and government capacity constraints. Thegovernment’s severely limited ability to effectively manage aid is exacerbated by its need to devote scarce resources tothe multiple, and sometimes conflicting,procedures donors require for accessingtheir assistance.

Problems in the management of aid are further complicated by the kind of aidoffered. Malian development priorities

Yengussie Tebeje, 55, sits outside her hut next to a small fire inthe rural Ethiopian village of Mosebo. As flies dart aroundand land on her worn face, she describes her struggle againsttrachoma, a debilitating eye disease.

Like many people in her village, Tebeje endured years of repeatedeye infections, due to bacteria transmitted by eye-seeking flies.

Scarring from multiple infections caused her eyelashes to turninward, which was extremely painful. For a period of time, Tebejeused homemade tweezers every two weeks to remove five or six in-turned lashes. This was the only way she could see well enough to do her housework and go to the local market. But after a while, thetweezing was no longer effective, and Tebeje’s vision deteriorated somuch that she could no longer perform daily chores like sweepingfloors and cooking meals.

But Tebeje had reason to hope. She learned about an operationthat would improve her vision. The surgery on her eyelids was provided locally at no charge to Tebeje, thanks to a program by The Carter Center. Afterward, her vision improved, allowing her toidentify people she could not before and to do everyday activitieswith ease.

Trachoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide,affecting 6 million people, with another 500 million at risk from the disease. The Carter Center has worked to treat and prevent thedisease since 1998.

Although surgery improved life for Tebeje, it is only a temporary fix. Transmission andinfection can reoccur when the conditions thatsupport the bacteria persist, such as lack oflatrines and inadequate hygiene practices.

Guinea Worm Eradication Program

he end of Guinea worm is in sight. One by one, countries are declaringvictory over this parasitic disease as it is eliminated within their borders.Not only are people living free of the physical pain of Guinea worms, butcommunities are mending as more children can attend school and farmers

can return to their fields. When the Guinea Worm Eradication Program began in 1986, there were

roughly 3.5 million cases in 20 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, there are fewer than 12,000 cases in nine countries—all in Africa.

Guinea worm disease is now concentrated in only a few countries, with Sudanand Ghana accounting for 90 percent of all cases.

For 22 years, Guinea worm control in Sudan was hindered by a civil war keepinghealth workers from fully accessing much of southern Sudan. Now, more areas thanever before are accessible thanks to a peace agreement signed in January 2005, andGuinea worm eradication is a priority in postwar Sudan.

Ghana has renewed eradication efforts by targeting the disease for completeelimination in the nation’s golden anniversary year, 2007. Providing additional visibility, Miss Ghana 2005 announced that Guinea worm eradication would beamong her major causes.

Nigeria continues to make enormous strides. In 2004, the nation reported fewerthan 500 cases compared to the more than 653,000 cases reported in 1988, when it was the most endemic country in the world. Nigeria is expected to report fewerthan 200 cases for 2005 and has pledged to stop transmission in 2006.

In addition, Benin and Mauritania stopped transmission in 2004, and Uganda stopped transmission in 2003.

In the past 12 months, years of hard work have spun hopes into realities, preparing Guinea worm to become the next disease eradicated from Earth.

Notable scientists and organizations come together in this CarterCenter task force to evaluate the potential for eradicating infec-tious diseases. The task force met from 1988 to 1992, and then itwas reconvened in 2001 with support from the Bill & MelindaGates Foundation. It reviews progress in disease eradication,

reviews the status of selected diseases, and recommends opportuni-ties for eradication or better control of diseases such as Guineaworm disease, river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis,and measles.

In a makeshift Guinea worm care center inSavelugu-Nanton, Ghana, 6-year-old Lukmareceives treatment for a worm emerging from a blister on the top of his left foot. Abukari Abukari, a local health worker, questions Lukma’s motherabout her water-filtering practices, reminding herthat she must filter all of the family’s drinking waterto prevent the disease from occurring. She says sheuses her filter but cannot follow the children every-where. “The children drink water I don’t knowabout,” she says with a sigh of guilt and frustration.

Lukma whimpers while Abukari massages the infected wound and rolls the emerging worm onto a roll of gauze, inch by agonizing inch. The wormhas been breaking through Lukma’s skin for oneweek, and today Abukari is able to coax out 2 inches of what will probably be a 3-foot worm.Removing a Guinea worm is a long and painful

Pitasia Gonzalez, a 78-year-old blind woman from Mexico, lives with her daughters in a home accessible only by foot. Like many of thewomen nearby, Gonzalez was a strong and capable provider for herfamily until damage from river blindness stole her sight many yearsago. Unable to cook, clean, or dress herself without help, Gonzalez’sblindness has made her dependent on her daughters. But Gonzalez said she is hopeful because her grandchildren receive treatment for thedisease through the Carter Center-assisted Onchocerciasis EliminationProgram for the Americas. “Their generation has the opportunity topreserve its vision,” she said. As a result, Gonzalez may be one of thelast people in the Americas to be blinded by this disease.

ransmitted by the bite of a small black flythat breeds near swiftly flowing rivers andstreams, onchocerciasis, or river blindness, isone of the leading causes of preventable

blindness and is endemic to 37 countries. Worldwide,18 million people are infected by this parasitic diseaseand more than 128 million are at risk. Yet, throughthe distribution of Mectizan®, a drug donated byMerck & Co., Inc., the complications of river blindness can be prevented.

The Carter Center, in collaboration with LionsClubs International Foundation, the Bill & MelindaGates Foundation, the World Health Organization,and the governments of 11 countries, is working tocontrol the disease in Africa and eliminate it in Latin America.

Since its inception in 1996, the Center’s RiverBlindness Program has assisted ministries of health in11 countries to administer more than 70 million treat-ments, and more than 11 million of these took placein 2004 alone. Additionally, since 2003, the sixendemic countries in Latin America have exceededthe minimum goal of 85 percent treatment coverageneeded to eliminate transmission there.

The program is leading the initiative forward inLatin America through the application of community

mobilizationtechniquesthat rely on kinshipnetworks todistributeMectizan.Family mem-bers are likely to ensure thatan absentcousin or sibling will get the treatmentneeded if heor she misses a health work-er’s visit.

Unfortunately, Mexico and Guatemala were hitseverely by natural disasters in 2005, complicatingefforts to continue health education and Mectizan distribution by limiting community access andresources. Despite these obstacles, the continent is well on its way to halting transmission of onchocerciasis.

A health worker showshow only a small amountof water is needed towash hands and faces.Facial cleanliness is part of the World HealthOrganization’s strategyfor trachoma control.

erhaps nowhere in the world is the gift ofsight more cherished than in Ethiopia, thenation with one of the world’s highest rates of blindness.

A third of the cases of blindness in Ethiopia arecaused by a bacterial infection called trachoma.Trachoma’s effects are far-reaching and devastating toEthiopian families, who make only $100 USD a yearon average. Sighted children become caretakers forthe disabled victims, and these children often leaveschool at an early age to help support their families.

Trachoma cases are decreasing dramatically thanksto a partnership between the Ethiopia Ministry ofHealth and The Carter Center, which together imple-ment the World Health Organization’s SAFE strategy.SAFE is the four-prong approach to trachoma control—surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, and environ-mental improvement. Support for the program is provided by the Lions-funded SightFirst Initiative.

Transmission of the disease takes place when thebacteria move from the eyes of young children to the eyes of an uninfected person via eye-seeking flies,eye rubbing, mothers’ shawls, and shared towels.

Dedicated health workers and volunteers have conducted health education and prevention activitiesfor more than 7,000 children at three schools in the

Amhara region as well as for adults in the surroundingcommunities. These programs promote good hygienepractices such as hand and face washing.

The Center also works to improve environmentalsanitation by encouraging the construction of latrines.Latrines reduce the amount of human waste in theopen and limit breeding grounds for flies.

Due to overwhelming support of village leaders and

low building costs, nearly 250,000 pit latrines havebeen constructed in the Amhara region of Ethiopia in2005 alone. In addition, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger’snational trachoma programs surpassed their latrine-building target by more than 20 percent in 2004.

To treat trachoma’s early stages, The Carter Centerworks with ministries of health and partner organiza-tions to distribute Pfizer Inc.’s donation of the anti-biotic Zithromax®. In 2004, more than 625,000 doseswere distributed in Ethiopia.

Provided political will and financial support forthese programs continue, trachoma control could contribute to the restoration of a nation’s vision,

with more peoplethan ever beforeknowing the precious treasure ofeyesight preserved.

n Nigeria, an estimated 25 million people suffer from lymphatic filariasis. This parasiticdisease is transmitted by mosquito bites andcan lead to extreme swelling in legs and

other body parts and cause fever, sweats, and otherconditions. Not only does the disease produce miserable symptoms, but people with the disease may be stigmatized and, because of their disability,unable to farm or carry out basic daily tasks.

Carter Center-assisted efforts in Plateau andNasarawa states are the only treatments for lymphaticfilariasis underway in all of Nigeria, which is the mostendemic country in Africa for the disease.

Since beginning work on the ground in 2000, theLymphatic Filariasis Elimination Program has madesignificant progress in fighting the disease throughhealth education and annual single-dose combinationsof oral medicines—albendazole donated byGlaxoSmithKline and Mectizan® donated by Merck & Co., Inc. In samples of the population in CarterCenter-assisted villages between 2000–2004, the

infection rates in peoplehad been reduced by 78percent, and the numberof infected mosquitoeshad dropped 79 percent.

Another preventionstrategy is the use ofinsecticide-treated mosquito nets, the samenets used to control malaria. In 2004, the NigeriaMinistry of Health donated treated bed nets to theprogram to help reduce transmission of the disease in areas endemic for both lymphatic filariasis andmalaria. Nets also protect pregnant women and youngchildren who are not eligible for drug treatment. Sofar, 55,881 bed nets have been distributed by villagevolunteers working to combat river blindness. Thesevolunteers show how one community distribution system can be used to disseminate resources to treatseveral diseases, shaping a standard for integrated public health systems in all developing countries.

Sitting on a white plastic chair, Hamisu Isa, 35, listens to members of his lym-phatic filariasis support group describe their symptoms, challenges, successes, andhopes. For years, he has suffered from the disease’s severest form, elephantiasis.

Although Hamisu’s leg and foot are enlarged and it is sometimes difficult for himto get around, he finds joy in little things that make his life easier. Today, heshows off a custom-made shoe. Typical flip-flops would not fit over his swollenfoot, so a friend melted the strap off another shoe and attached it to a strap onHamisu’s shoe, creating a larger flip-flop, and as a result, a shoe that fits.

Hamisu’s group, the Jos urban support group, is among the first of its kind. Led by Carter Center expert Dr. John Umaru, participants learn about the transmission and prevention of lymphatic filariasis and discuss techniques for preventing skin infections. The forum is equally important for providing a placefor people like Hamisu to discuss how to overcome seemingly insignificant everyday challenges, such as finding properly fitting shoes.

chistosomiasis is one of the most devastatingparasitic diseases in tropical countries. InNigeria, the world’s most schistosomiasis-endemic country, approximately 20 million

people need treatment to prevent the disease’s seriousand sometimes life-threatening complications.

Caused by a microscopic parasite found in freshwater, schistosomiasis is easily contracted while per-forming daily chores such as fetching water and herd-ing animals. School-age children are most affected bythe disease, which prevents them from growing anddeveloping normally and causes bloody urine.

Fortunately, destruction caused by urinary schisto-somiasis can be prevented. Since 1999, The CarterCenter, in partnership with Nigeria’s SchistosomiasisControl Program, has been working with communitiesin Plateau and Nasarawa states to control the diseasein the most endemic areas. And in 2004, the programgrew to include Delta state.

First, community members are educated aboutschistosomiasis and its prevention. Then programhealth workers distributepraziquantel, a pill thatcan reverse much of theinternal organ damagecaused by schistosomia-sis, to those who need it.

In Plateau andNasarawa states, The

Carter Center and the ministries of health are com-bining prevention programs for river blindness andlymphatic filariasis with schistosomiasis control effortsto streamline health interventions and village visits.

However, unlike other Carter Center health pro-grams, the medication needed to treat schistosomiasisis not donated and can cost as much as 20 cents USDper tablet, which limits the number of drugs theCenter can afford to purchase.

Despite this obstacle, the schistosomiasis programhas been increasingly successful. More than 700,000treatments have been distributed to endemic areassince the program began, and last year the programachieved 103 percent of its annual objective—morethan 215,000 treatments. Some Carter Center-assistedareas have shown an 83 percent reduction of bloodyurine between 1999 and 2004.

One village, one child at a time, The CarterCenter, its partners, and the Nigeria Ministry ofHealth are making a real difference against this quiet, devastating plague.

Agriculture Program

ven though the past 50 years have been themost productive in global agricultural history,some 203 million people are malnourished,and each year 6 million children die in a

vicious cycle of poverty, hunger, and disease. Since 1986, The Carter Center has worked to

ensure that the benefits of the green revolution, thedevelopment of new technology and higher yieldingcrops, reach those who need it most in Africa.

In partnership with the Sasakawa AfricaAssociation, led by Dr. Norman Borlaug, the CarterCenter’s Agriculture Program is part of a larger jointinitiative that has helped more than 4 million sub-Saharan farmers in 15 countries to increase their crop yields three- or even fourfold.

For example, in 2004, Ethiopia experienced anabundant harvest, the likes of which had not beenobserved in years. Farmers harvested more than 14million tons of food grain—a 24 percent increasefrom 2003 and a major boon to a nation sufferingfrom chronic food insecurity. Ethiopia’s success islargely the result of increased use of fertilizer and theapplication of higher-yielding seeds.

In Malawi, one of the largest consumers of maize in the world, farmers are unable to keep up with local needs, forcing the nation to import one of its principal food staples. As a result, the Ministry of Agriculture is implementing maize productiontechnologies promoted by the Sasakawa AfricaAssociation and The Carter Center to close thedomestic gap between supply and demand.

And in Ghana, the program is strengthening farmers’business practices through the development of self-sustaining, business-oriented farmer organizations andoffering agribusiness courses for members. This newemphasis on agribusiness has increased profits forsmall landholders and is expected to increase the use of improved farming technologies.

The Carter Center, along with its partners, realizesthe vast potential of a continent, once starving, tosomeday no longer be vulnerable to famine.

Ethiopia Public Health Training Initiative

isease is a formidable and often deadly adversary to the people of many poor Africannations. For Ethiopians, the single biggestfactor of poor health is lack of access to

trained health personnel. Less than half the population of Ethiopia currently

has access to adequate medical treatment. But a partnership among The Carter Center, the EthiopiaMinistry of Education, the Ethiopia Ministry ofHealth, and seven national universities and colleges is reducing this problem. Launched in 1997, theEthiopia Public Health Training Initiative is creatinga corps of qualified health care workers to serve 90percent of the Ethiopian population in more than 600 rural health centers.

In 2005, classroom materials were provided to eachof the partnering universities, including:

• Text and reference books valued at $15,000 USD• Computers, printers, and photocopiers• Periodical and journal subscriptions• Classroom demonstration materials and basic

laboratory equipment, including autoclaves and microscopes

The partner institutions—Addis Ababa, Alemaya,Awassa, Defense, Gondar, Jimma, and Mekelle cam-puses—hold workshops to draft and produce trainingmodules that address life-threatening diseases, long-term health promotion, and disease prevention.

One of the keys tothe initiative’s successis the involvement ofEthiopians in creatingprogram materials.

Ethiopian teaching staff work side by side with international experts to develop curricula that relateto Ethiopia.

Other projects of the initiative include promotinghealthy pregnancies, providing drought assistance,and developing teaching and learning materials forthe growing health extension worker program.

DInitiative Partners Prepare Health Workers to Serve Ethiopia

Bishaw Deboch can remember when up to 200 students would wait in line to use one or two books from the library at Jimma University, wherehe is vice dean of the public health program.

That was before the Ethiopia Public HealthTraining Initiative began in 1997. Now JimmaUniversity, one of the initiatives’ seven partnerinstitutions, has new office equipment, computers,and textbooks for most students.

“Students are now being trained better, whichtranslates into better health care for rural Ethiopianswho need help most,” Deboch said. “Students aresent to work in rural treatment centers, where theyhave an enormous impact on communities.” Hebelieves better medical treatment is critical toprogress on other social fronts as well, includingpoverty, economics, and stability.

eople with mental illnesses have great obstacles to overcome. Not only do they facepersonal stigma and discrimination from soci-ety as a whole and sometimes the people in

their lives, but they also must deal with a health caresystem that is underequipped to handle their needs.Although much has been accomplished in the mentalhealth field since Rosalynn Carter began working onthese issues in the 1970s, many challenges remain.

The Carter Center’s Mental Health Program works to improve mental health careby tackling public policy and promoting public awareness.

In November 2005, The Carter Center hosted the 21st Annual Rosalynn CarterMental Health Symposium, which focused on improving quality of care in behavioralhealth. The two-day meeting brought in experts from around the United States to examine and discuss patients’ experiences and build an action plan to address pervasive problems.

Sweeping public change begins on the local level, and because it is headquarteredin Atlanta, the Mental Health Program sponsors an annual Georgia Forum onstatewide mental health issues. This year’s forum examined the impact of the state’stransition to managed care in the Medicaid program, which serves many people with mental illnesses.

Regulations and standards of care are closely linked to public opinion, and theprogram seeks to bring mental health to the forefront of community and national discourse. The Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism providestipends to journalists who research and report on topics in the field. The 2004–2005class of recipients included eight reporters from across the United States plus twofrom New Zealand and two from South Africa. Projects included a radio series on adolescent mental health and a magazine piece about how the 2004 tsunamiaffected the mental health of people living in the region.

ecognized internationally for the expertise of its staff, The Carter Centeralso boasts a wealth of skills and experience among its interns who workside by side with program staff. Internships are offered throughout the yearto undergraduate juniors and seniors, recent graduates, and graduate or

professional students who have demonstrated superior academic ability and careerinterests related to Carter Center programs.

“Our interns are a very select group, who bring a high quality of skills, academictraining, and sometimes even experiences related to the peace and health work ofthe Center,” said Lauren Kent-Delany, director of educational programs at TheCarter Center. “They hail from around the world—Asia, Africa, Western Europe,and North America—and speak a variety of languages from Hausa to Italian toFarsi and Uzbek.

“Our goal is to make the internship a practical application of a student’s academic experience. You will not find interns spending much of their time onadministrative work. They are given important projects under the supervision ofexperts in their field.”

In addition to supporting the Center’s work, interns learn through a series of formal educational programs, through mentoring by program staff, and through

interactions with intern peers. The unique opportunitiesprovided by the Carter Center internship program con-sistently place it on the Princeton Review’s list of topinternship programs.

Kavitha Nallathambi, an intern last fall in the GlobalDevelopment Initiative, has been impressed with the oppor-tunities offered at the Center. “I feel the work I do is mean-ingful and gives me skills I plan to use in a future career,”said Nallathambi, a recent graduate of the London School of Economics Development Studies Program.

“The staff does a lot to create community among theinterns. I’ve met people hereI hope I can keep in touchwith for the rest of my life.”

Donors and partners from around the globe join with The Carter Center in a commitment to ourpeace and health projects. Individuals, foundations, corporations, multilateral organizations, and govern-ments support our programs. These partnerships allow the Center’s work to have greater impact through a shared pursuit to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope throughout the world.

More than 170,000 donors contributed more than $152 million in cash, pledges, and in-kind gifts in fiscal year 2004–2005Gifts ranging from $1 to more than $25 million support the work of the Center. From direct mail andAmbassadors Circle support, to planned giving and program-specific gifts, each donation contributes to the Center’s ability to realize its mission.

Donor partnerships are fundamental to the Center’ssuccess and reflect the global scope of our projectsFor example, the Guinea Worm Eradication Programreceived a $25 million challenge grant from the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation. Matching support for thischallenge grant includes pledges from the CanadianInternational Development Agency, the Government of Japan, the United States Agency for InternationalDevelopment, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, theGovernment of Norway, and the Saudi Fund forDevelopment, among others.

Donors from more than 42 countries contributed to our work in 2005. The Government of Ireland pledgedmajor support for the Democracy Program’s Liberian elec-tions project, and The Open Society Institute’s support of the Americas Program will go toward the Mapping theMedia project in Latin America. The Center recentlyestablished The Carter Centre United Kingdom (CCUK),a U.K.-registered charity and nongovernmental organiza-tion created to expand donor opportunities throughoutEurope. A partnership between the CCUK and ElectoralReform International Services, a nongovernmental organ-ization based in London, secured a European Union grantin 2005 to support election work in Liberia.
