What if development were designed and lived by the same people? The priorities of communities should lead every development process.

IAP is an international human and environmental rights organization that works with communities and civil society organizations to champion community-led development. We imagine they would likely use their first-hand experience to create the maximum benefits for those who need it most and prevent any harm. IAP is an international human and environmental rights organization that works with communit

ies, civil society and social movements to change how today’s development is done. IAP is part of a global movement, rooted in the aspirations of people for justice and to thrive today and tomorrow. Efforts to shift today’s development from its current focus on political and business interests to community-led priorities is a response to the unwanted and harmful projects that uproot people, end livelihoods and erase culture. It is a response to a power imbalance that, if redirected to community-led priorities, would improve lives and protect the environment. Our Community Action Guides prepare community organizers around the world to collect local knowledge, inform and mobilize for the development they want. The Global Advocacy Team brings together community organizers to unite their local knowledge for a collective international campaign. People are excluded from decisions that impact their lives and environment. IAP creates new accessible technology to maximize the use of both public and locally generated data to reinforce community mobilization. Through the Early Warning System, IAP and our partners exchange the newest information on proposed projects from development banks with community-led research on how the project would affect them - ideally before project funding has been decided. IAP identifies influential decision-making spaces at governments, development finance institutions and companies for communities to advance their priorities and protect human and environmental rights.

⚠️ Justice delayed is justice denied⚠️

A new case study by CEMSOJ, CEE Bankwatch Network, and explores the unresolved grievances surrounding the Tanahu hydropower project in .

Between 2020 and 2021, Indigenous Magar and Dalit communities in filed complaints related to lack of consultation and information sharing, threats to livelihoods and cultural heritage, inadequate compensation, and failures in grievance redress mechanisms. Years later, many corrective actions remain incomplete while affected communities continue to wait for remedy and accountability.

Despite global climate pledges, the latest data from shows that development banks are still funding oil and gas.

While our analysis shows that the share of fossil fuel investment dropped from 10% to 7% over the last two years, fossil fuel companies continue to benefit from development bank-backed oil and gas projects. We believe that any percentage above ZERO is a failure. Fossil fuel companies don’t need public money, communities do.

As governments and climate leaders gathered in Santa Marta, this month for the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, a critical shift in the narrative took place. Governments explicitly linked their dependence on fossil fuels to extreme price shocks, fiscal pressure, and geopolitical risk.

In this context, transitioning away from fossil fuels serves a dual purpose: meeting climate commitments while simultaneously building an energy infrastructure that is more reliable, affordable, and resilient. We have the momentum to demand a total phase-out of fossil fuel investment and redirect that funding toward community-led solutions.

Factory farming is not climate smart.
It is not good for animals, communities or our future.

Public development banks must stop this and support a just transition to sustainable food systems.
