International Accountability Project
About
International Accountability Project believes development should be a process that enables all people to uphold and claim their rights, live with dignity and thrive on the land they love.
The international accountability project is an international human and environmental rights organization that works with communities, civil society and social movements to change how today's development is done. Iap works for a world in which communities lead development where they live, work and play. In contrast to current practice, iap advocates for a development process in which people claim and uphold their rights, the environment is respected, and all are able to live with dignity and thrive on the land they love. Iap works in solidarity with communities, civil society and social movements to inform and amplify their campaigns, broaden access to information, and create spaces within and outside dominant power systems for communities to lead the development decisions that affect their lives and environment.
