ECA Watch is an organizing and outreach mechanism of the larger international
campaign to reform Export Credit Agencies (ECAs).
Organizations participating in the campaign include non-governmental organizations and bodies working on issues related
to the environment, development, human rights, community, labor, and anti-corruption.
The Jakarta Declaration (2000) describes the specific goals of the ECA reform campaign. As stated in the 2000 platform document, the overarching goals of the campaign are to lobby ECAs to improve their
environmental policies and practices (nationally and internationally),
and to support local efforts to improve specific ECA-backed projects.
The ECA reform campaign engages in advocacy, grassroots organizing, lawsuits,
research, education and media outreach.
ECA Watch is a growing network of non-governmental organizations
and bodies focusing on various aspects of ECA reform. Caucuses focus on
problem areas, and specific ECA-backed projects. Read
more about the problems by issue-area or world region/ country.
If you are interested in participating in the campaign, please contact
ECA Watch.
The ECA Watch Facilitator is Bob Thomson.
The website will change to feature different issues
