About (the english Homepage): From the 23rd to the 26th of February of 1998, grassroots movements of all continents met in Geneva to launch a worldwide coordination network of resistance to the global market, a new alliance of struggle and solidarity called Peoples’ Global Action against ‘free’ trade and the WTO PGA. That was the birth of this global tool for communication and coordination for all those who fight the destruction of humanity and the planet by capitalism and build local alternatives to globalisation.

The defining documents of the PGA are its five hallmarks, its organisational principles and its manifesto.

At the conference in Bangalore, India in August 1999 the hallmarks
and the organisational principles were amended to reflect discussions about clarifying differences to right-wing anti-globalizers. A new second hallmark was added. The Hallmarks were changed at the conference in Cochabamba 2001.

Prezentare generala: Fundatia „Pro Homini” a fost infiintata in anul 1997 din dorinta de a sprijini acel segment al populatiei aproape uitat de societate: batranii. Pe parcursul celor 7 ani de activitate, fundatia a sprijinit si familii cu multi copii, aflate in situatie de risc social si copii bolnavi care au necesitat tratamente costisitoare, precum si elevi merituosi care au obtinut locuri fruntase la olimpiadele nationale.

Pentru bunele rezultate obtinute in plan social, Fundatia „Pro Homini” a primit din partea Primariei Municipiului Braila, in luna decembrie 2003, diploma si medalie de excelenta. In vederea strangerii de fonduri fundatia organizeaza de doua ori pe an baluri de binefacere si tombole cu obiecte confectionate in Centrul de Zi.

Pentru oamenii varstnici au fost editate pana in prezent doua numere ale publicatiei „Pro Homine” care reflecta preocuparile oamenilor de varsta a treia. Majoritatea articolelor sunt scrise de pensionari.

Sunflower is an association of motivated Bangladeshi citizens, working towards the empowerment of 145,000 poor and oppressed people in 750 of the poorest villages in the country. Sunflower helps women and their families understand their situations and take positive steps to raise themselves out of poverty.

As a young girl growing up in rural Bangladesh, Asha Lata could see that people’s lives were miserable and deprived because of poverty. She could also see inequality – that the accepted norms in society favoured men, and oppressed women.

While still a school girl she became an activist, fighting poverty and advocating equality for womenfolk.

In 1980 she started working as a voluntary social worker in four of the poorest villages of her home district, Kotwalipara. This grew in to Sunflower.

The G8-Platform is a pool of now about 40 organisations, mainly of environmental and development backgrounds. Their joint goal is to prepare mutual activities and events around the G8-summit in June 2007 in Heiligendamm, Germany.

The platform aims to serve as coordination and information base for all summit activities. Work started in January 2006. Since then the platform, which is meeting on a regular basis, has been expanding. Interested organisations are welcome to join.

Several teams and groups have evolved from the meetings organising cultural events, the rally, the alternative summit, action days and camps. As the platform’s contribution we offer
a series of conferences dealing with important issues around the G8. (full text).

The NGOs and Civil Societies of The watching groups of IFI watchnet.

IFIwatchnet is a groundbreaking initiative in international NGO networking, currently in its second year of operation. It connects organisations worldwide which are monitoring international financial institutions (IFIs) such as the World Bank, the IMF, and regional development banks. Formed in response to a call by civil society groups to maximise the effectiveness of their communications and networking efforts, it is rapidly developing into a key tool for ever increasing degrees of collaboration between IFIwatching groups at national, regional and international levels. With nearly 60 organisations from 27 different countries in every region of the world, it has huge potential to increase the ability of civil society to make global governance institutions accountable to the people they serve.

IFIwatchnet is not an NGO and it does not undertake monitoring or campaiging work itself, rather it supports the work undertaken by its participants. It aims to:

• Pool independent information about IFIs from a broad range of civil society sources and make it easier for people to find what they need;
• Improve communication between IFI-watchers, increasing mutual awareness of outputs and collaboration on activities;
• Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of IFI watching organisations through new information sharing approaches.

IFIwatchnet participant organisations monitor one or more of these global and regional IFIs: (full text).

In its capacity as the overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Germany, it offers to cooperate in a spirit of partnership with all people of goodwill to promote development, fight worldwide poverty, liberate people from injustice, exercise solidarity with the poor and the persecuted, and help create « One World ».

MISEREOR is mandated by the Catholic Church in Germany:

• to fight the causes of hardship and misery as manifested chiefly in countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America in the forms of hunger, disease, poverty and other forms of human suffering;
• thus enabling the people affected to lead a life of human dignity;
• and to promote justice, freedom, reconciliation and peace in the world.

This Christian motivation should lead us not only to help and share with the poor, but also to undergo a process of spiritual renewal, becoming « richer » people through solidarity and community with the poor. It should also lead us to make a commitment to creating a more just and peaceful One World through responsible development of our own society. As such, MISEREOR is also a campaign, a « movement » in Germany, everywhere on the lookout for partners, friends and « fellow activists » in the fight against poverty.

This broad-based society was at the forefront of the movements to abolish the slave trade (achieved in Britain in 1807) as well as slavery throughout the British colonies (achieved in 1833).

• Lobbying governments and intergovernmental agencies to make slavery a priority issue;
• Supporting research to assess the scale of slavery in order to identify measures to end it;
• Working with local organisations to raise public awareness of slavery;
• Educating the public about the realities of slavery and campaigning for its end.

About: GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.

Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, they know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met. Donations made through GlobalGiving are higher impact because:

• Money is going directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses;
• Projects on globalgiving.com have exposure to thousands of donors, enabling us to aggregate multiple sources of funding for each project;
• Many projects on globalgiving.com are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way We connect donors to projects via our « public » website, globalgiving.com as well as through custom giving services.
