Collective Work

With our members and partners, we work to ensure that frontline communities have the information, power and resources to determine their own development paths, and to use their own voice to hold development banks and international companies accountable for their impacts on people and the planet.

• Connect: We link local communities and Indigenous Peoples with information, skills, tools, resources and allies for peer learning, capacity-building, solidarity, and collective action.
• Protect: We facilitate safety, protection and advocacy support for those facing threats.
• Mobilize: we co-create strategies with local communities, Indigenous Peoples and allies at national, regional, cross-regional and global levels to increase transparency, accountability and participation by public development banks.
• Visibilize: we amplify the stories and perspectives of local communities and Indigenous Peoples, showcase their solutions, and expose the impacts of harmful development activities.
