Global Gorvernance

We seek to influence the global frameworks that determine development processes and public policies. Our goal is to ensure transparency, participation and human rights and the environment protection in decision-making at a local and international level. To this end, we monitor the actions of actors that mobilize resources for infrastructure and development, especially the IFIs (International Financial Institutions).

Work focus

  • Environmental, social and gender standards in financing for development
  • Infrastructure financing and Chinese investments
  • Accountability mechanisms
  • Human rights and business
  • Gender and IFIs

Main activities

  • Monitoring projects financed by the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank and other development financing actors.
  • Monitoring Chinese investments in Argentina and Latin America, following on progress setbacks, and political discussions around the projects.
  • Public-private partnerships, human rights and business and its regulatory framework research, at a national and international level.
  • Regional Group on Financing and Infrastructure (GREFI) participation, aiming to influence the processes of international financial institutions and development banks, and contribute to the improvement of transparency policies and information access in infrastructure financing.
