  2. Remember the Key Issues: • Environment • Labor Standard • Poverty • Globalization • Animal Rights

  3. Working Relationships NGO – Corporate Community • CorpWatch.orgAn NGO opposing corporate-led globalization through education and the fostering of democratic control over corporations by building grassroots globalization for human rights, labor rights and environmental justice. • United Nations Global Compact A code of conduct for large companies launched by Kofi Annan, the United Nations Secretary-General in 2000. The Nine UN' Principles for multinational and transnational companies recognize various forms of human rights, labor/worker rights, and environmental rights.

  4. “The NGO-Industrial Complex”By Gary Gereffi, Ronie Garcia-Johnson, and Erika Sasser “Supporters believe that certification efforts embody a new model for global corporate governance—no mean feat when national governments appear unable to constrainpowerful multinational corporations…Some observers even fear that certification driven by activists and corporations will preempt or supplant altogether the role of states and international organizations in addressing corporate accountability as free trade expands around the globe.”

  5. Working Relationships NGO – Government • Human Rights Watch NGO dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. • Transparency International NGO dedicated to curbing both international and national corruption. • Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development The OECD, an international organization helping governments tackle the economic, social and governance challenges of a globalized economy.

  6. “NGOs and UN: evolving partnership”Furgus Watts – World Federalists of Canada “The proliferation of NGOs across the world and the diverse roles they play suggests that they will be a continuing force in global policy making. A major challenge in the years ahead is to develop the public- private partnerships which can fully enable and encourage non-state actors to offer their contributions to effective global governance.”

  7. The United States Agency for International Development • In the case of small business, chambers of commerce, trade associations, and other NGOs will be logical choices for USAID assistance and capacity development. In turn, these NGOs will help field missions in assessing and reforming the enabling environment for growth of small business. • Similarly, in the case of democratic local governance, participation and advocacy will frequently be expressed through NGOs. These NGOs can have powerful influence on local and national governments--in some cases resulting in fractious relations. USAID missions will need to have an excellent understanding of relations between various levels of government and NGOs as they engage in policy dialogue, especially in the area of democratic governance.
