We are Australia’s independent monitor of international aid and trade policy. We focus on the systems that cause poverty and inequality and campaign to end the use of aid to further Australia’s economic national interest and the expense of the poor.
We challenge Australian government agencies, multilateral agencies, corporations and NGO that use aid and trade to undermine the ability of people in developing countries to determine their own.
We critically monitor the aid and trade activities of the government, and how they link to multilateral institutions, corporations, international financial institutions and NGO’s and respond and engage publicly to policy developments.
