Campaigning
To eradicate poverty, major changes will have to be made to the policies of rich and poor countries alike. Campaigning together can win that change.
Bond provides the space for anti-poverty campaigners to network, share information and organise effective campaigns.
The Bond Advocacy and Representation team offers support by facilitating groups, forming collective policy demands, and helping to implement campaigns.
Bond is also the UK's key link to the European anti-poverty platform CONCORD, (European NGO Confederation for Relief and Development) and the global anti-poverty alliance GCAP (Global Call to Action Against Poverty).
UK collective campaigning is overseen by the Campaigning Coordination Team and the Global Economic Justice Networks, supported by Bond.
In 2009, major projects include the formation of the 'Jobs, Justice, Climate' platform to calling for a route out of recession that works for people and the environment.
If you are a campaigner with an anti-poverty organisation in the UK, subscribe to the monthly e-newsletter Global Call for all the latest collective campaigning news and events.
