INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT (IAP)

Participant: 
Ryan Schlief

IAP is a human rights advocacy organization that seeks to end forced eviction and create new global policy and practice for development that respects people’s homes, environment and human rights. IAP works to win policy change, boost local advocacy efforts, and support grassroots activists and communities to access influential decision-making spaces. IAP also gives strategic advice and tools for resistance directly to communities and organizations addressing the funders of harmful development projects. IAP uses the knowledge it gains from individual campaigns to advance broader human rights protections at international and regional banks.
