The Global Governance Program works to strengthen and guarantee human rights and the protection of the environment through the promotion of effective and greater participation, access to information and strategic intervention by civil society and affected communities in the development of public policies and in decision making processes at local and international levels. Our work covers governments, intergovernmental institutions, international financial institutions, local forums and initiatives of civil society. We work to strengthen, modify, create and promote public policies in accordance with institutional transparency and sustainable development.
