In July 2002 two important conferences will take place in Uganda, for the first time on the African continent. The 5th conference of specialists in the collection and dissemination of information relevant to women will take place at the same time . Entitled the Kampala Know How Conference 2002, it is organized by Isis-WICCE (Women's International Cross-Cultural Exchange) which is based in Kampala, assisted by the International Information Center and Archives for the Women's Movement (IIAV) in Amsterdam and Isis International-Manila.
The 8th International Interdisciplinary Congress on Women, entitled Women's Worlds 2002 Congress will be held from 21-26 July 2002. The Department of Women and Gender Studies at Makerere University in Kampala organize it in collaboration with NGOs and Civil Society active in gender-focused research.
The two events have much to contribute to each other. Women's Worlds 2002 brings together the creators of knowledge: researchers. Kampala Know How Conference 2002 brings together specialists in getting information to where it is needed, whether to the grass roots, researchers, policy makers or the media. By bringing the information specialists to the Women's Worlds conference and the researchers to the Know How workshops the women hope to radically affect the relationships between research, activism and information flows.
