IFIwatchnet, the place on the web to find independent perspectives
on the international financial institutions and their activities.
IFIwatchnet is a collaborative online project which brings together
details of reports and briefings, news and events from over 50
organisations around the world which are monitoring the activities of
the International Financial Institutions (IFIs).
It provides easy access to civil society information from multiple
sources on: - each financial institution including the regional
development banks - the activities and impact of IFIs in each global
region and in areas such as trade and finance - events relating to
the IFIs such as consultations, workshops and roundtables
IFIwatchnet's large collection of documents is fully searchable by
keyword. It also has a search engine which only searches
participating organisations sites, so ensuring that search results are
not swamped by resources from large international institutions as
often happens with conventional searches.
If you are working on issues of international finance or want to
investigate how the IFIs impact on an area you focus on,
IFIwatchnet
may be a useful tool.
Visit the site at www.ifiwatchnet.org
