The leaflet says that, with the end of the Cold War, U.S. foreign policy-makers are searching for a new paradigm. The leaflet says WOA is a church and trade union sponsored lobbying and research organization. WOA and its educational arm, the Washington Office on Africa Education Fund (now the Africa Policy Information Center, or APIC) have served as a resource for the broader Africa advocacy network for 20 years. Their program priorities, approved on January 28, 1992, are: 1) support a "fair share for Africa" in U.S. government policy on aid and debt; 2) monitor U.S. aid to South African organizations to ensure that it benefits grassroots development and progress towards a democratic non-racial order and does not encourage the government or its allies to persist in violence or in opposition to a truly democratic constitution; 3) support Bread for the World and other groups' efforts on the Horn of Africa Recovery and Food Security Act; 4) monitor the impact of U.S. trade, aid and debt policies and practices on Africa, concentrating on the countries of SADCC; 5) oppose any covert or partisan U.S. government involvement in the internal affairs of African countries and lobby for support for policies that promote democracy and sustainable development; and 6) monitor other Africa issues, including trade, as they may appear on the congressional agenda. The leaflet discusses the Clark Amendment, Rhodesian chrome, the Anti-Apartheid Act, sanctions, UNITA, South Africa's destabilization policy, and the World Council of Churches. • WOA: IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE STRUGGLE • WOA'S MISSION • PROGRAM PRIORITIES • INTERNSHIPS AT WOA • SPONSORS OF THE WASHINGTON OFFICE ON AFRICA
