An update from the Global Advocacy Team Initiative

“We are all from different continents, with different cultures, contexts and languages, however we have a common struggle around social injustice, therefore coming together is important for us. Unity and diversity is needed, as we are all experiencing the same impact of injustice and development.”
Jessica Amon — Community Organizers Multiversity, Philippines
The Global Advocacy Team Initiative is a 3-year global campaign to demonstrate that communities should be at the center of development — leading the design and implementation of projects and plans that affect their lives and environment.

June 1, 2021 — In a letter addressed to the African Development Bank, 50+ human rights and environmental rights groups are sounding the alarm over the categorical lack of transparency and meaningful stakeholder engagement on the part of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in the implementation review of its Disclosure and Access to Information (DAI) Policy.
“The right to information is a fundamental human right. Accessing information from the AfDB is a challenge at every level. The Bank claims to have a Disclosure and Access to Information Policy that elaborates on how information and consultations should be conducted — but…

Проект Международной Ответственности (IAP) с радостью представляет последнее дополнение к нашей серии Глобальных практических руководств для общин — Что такое развитие?
Часто бывает так, что правительства, компании или банки развития, говорят, что большие проекты (такие как дороги, разработка месторождений, плотины гидроэлектростанций или современные здания), необходимы для развития всей страны. Они часто называют их “планами развития” или “проектами развития”.
Но всегда ли хороши эти проекты для людей и окружающей среды? Кто в действительности получает пользу и кто должен решать, какие виды проектов и политики являются лучшими для будущего наших общин и наших стран? Кто имеет право утверждать, что то, что предлагается…

IAP strongly condemns the severe and escalating violence by the military junta against civil society in Myanmar since the coup on February 1st.
We stand in solidarity and support with our community and civil society partners who are experiencing brutality at the hands of the Tatmadaw, and are being targeted for their work to promote and protect fundamental rights and freedoms. We stand in solidarity and support with the people of Myanmar who are peacefully protesting for the return of power to their elected government and fighting for their right to determine the future of their country.
We condemn the…

For 5 years, IAP has asked, What if development were designed and lived by the same people?
As a 19-year old activist, I remember a mentor asking me what felt, at the time, like an equally provocative question. After participating in repeated protests against a racist and anti-immigrant radio program in the US, I was becoming frustrated that we weren’t able to get the show off the air.
