<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-ZA style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"'>The
Electronic Publishing Trust for Development (EPT [i]) is pleased to announce
the winner of its 2nd Annual Award in recognition of the effort made by individuals
working in the developing and emerging countries in the furtherance of Open
Access (OA) to scholarly publications. The panel of 5 EPT Trustees unanimously
agreed that the Award should be made to Iryna Kuchma, Ukraine. Iryna is the
Programme Manager of the EIFL-OA Programme [ii] (Electronic Information for
Libraries), that advocates nationally and internationally for the adoption of
OA policies and mandates and provides training and support in the establishment
of appropriate activities. In this capacity Iryna has achieved astonishing
results, far beyond any expectation. Since the establishment in 2003 of the
EIFL-OA progamme, Iryna has been the first full-time programme manager, thus
she is largely responsible for EIFL¹s accomplishments in the field of Open
Access, which include:</span><span lang=EN-ZA><o:p></o:p></span></p>

first became engaged with the OA movement in 2002 while working in the Ukraine
for the Soros Foundation and has subsequently, in addition to the highly
productive EIFL-OA work listed above, become EIFL representative on many OA
initiatives, such as the EU¹s OpenAIRE [iii] project to provide infrastructure
support across the EU countries, where Iryna covers the Middle and Eastern EU
nations; or serving on the IFLA [iv] <<a

OA Task Force. The Electronic Publishing Trust for Development received some
eighteen nominations from four continents. The sheer range of activities and
the strong sense of purpose and commitment shown by all the nominees, in all
sorts of circumstances and roles made it very hard to judge a winner. It also
reinforced our wish to recognise the work of so many unsung champions of the OA
movement.</span><span lang=EN-ZA><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-ZA style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"'>The
EPT is also very pleased to announce that the panel wished to recognise the
work of Susan Veldsman, South Africa, with the award of a certificate of
commendation. She has been responsible for much advocacy and training work in
her region. We are happy to provide this certificate of special recognition to
Susan for all her efforts in the progress of OA. She is the manager of the
SciELO-SA [v] <<a

programme (an excellent example of south-south collaboration between Latin
American countries and South Africa). Susan has also been responsible for
setting up an Institutional Repository, has been involved in training, and
conference organisation throughout southern Africa and in addition to the
activities of many other excellent nominations received by the EPT has
contributed to many advocacy initiatives. It can be seen that both Iryna Kuchma
and Susan Veldsman have made highly significant contributions to the progress
of global and open access to knowledge, covering the areas of advocacy, policy
developments, mandates, OA journals and OA repositories, training,
best-practice and infrastructure support. Their work has undoubtedly made an
enormous difference to the free and fair access to scholarly knowledge across
the world and the EPT is proud to acknowledge their Contributions.</span><span
