The first section of this program report is a general description of the Bernard van Leer Foundation and its work. The second and third sections are the Foundation's annual report and financial report for 1990. The fourth and largest section of the program report consists of descriptions of 107 projects in 41 countries that are financed and supported by the Foundation. Projects profiled are those with a duration of 1 to 5 years, which were operationally active at the end of January 1991. Each project is described in terms of: (1) the sponsoring institution, that is, the institution which is officially responsible for carrying out the activities for which the Bernard van Leer Foundation has made a grant; (2) the title of the project; (3) the duration of the project activities supported by the Foundation; and (4) an outline of the setting in which the project operates its activities. In cases in which a current phase of a project was preceded by earlier phases of Foundation support, these earlier phases are referred to in the text. Concluding the report are lists of the Foundation's publications and videos in English, Spanish, and Portuguese; and a list of Foundation personnel. (BC)
