TransConflict

TransConflict undertakes conflict transformation projects and research.

It is TransConflict’s assertion that the successful transformation of conflict requires a multi-dimensional approach that engages with and aims at transforming the very interests, relationships, discourses and structures that underpin and fuel outbreaks of low- and high-intensity violence.

Conflict transformation is a long-term, gradual process, demanding sustained engagement and interaction. Accordingly, TransConflict seeks to contend with the particularities of conflict within specific geographical areas and target groups.

TransConflict focuses on five specific types of transformation (cf. Lederach, Vayrynen – Selected Quotes):

Actor – modifying actors’ goals and their approach to pursuing these goals.

Context – influencing the context in which conflict occurs so as to challenge the meaning and perceptions of conflict itself, particularly the respective attitudes and understandings of specific actors towards one another.

Issue – redefining the issues that are central to the prevailing conflict, and reformulating the position of key actors on those very issues.

Rule – changes in the norms and rules governing decision-making at all levels determine the extent to which conflicts are constructively resolved.

Structural – conflict is underpinned by, and embedded in, the prevailing structure of relationships, power distributions and socio-economic conditions, changes to which impact the very fabric of interaction between previously incompatible actors, issues and goals.

TransConflict regards conflict not as an isolated event, but as an integral part of the transformation of the whole range of societal relationships. TransConflict therefore endeavours to respond to the changing social, regional and international context and their implications for the dynamics of conflict.

The Transnational Institute (TNI) is an international research and advocacy institute committed to building a just, democratic and sustainable world.


Founded in 1974 as a network of ‘activist scholars’, TNI continues to be a unique nexus between social movements, engaged scholars and policy makers.


TNI has gained an international reputation for carrying out well researched and radical critiques and anticipating and producing informed work on key issues long before they become mainstream concerns, for example, our work on food and hunger, third world debt, transnational corporations, trade, and carbon trading.


As a non-sectarian institute, TNI has also consistently advocated alternatives that are both just and pragmatic, for example developing alternative approaches to international drugs policy and providing support for the practical detailed work of public water services reform.


TNI's Projects



TNI works on a wide range of interlinking issues.  The constant interaction between fellows and projects gives TNI a unique, broad and informed perspective and enables a cross-disciplinary approach to complex global problems.


TNI's work currently includes:


  • Leadership as a respected global voice on drugs policy, promoting a pragmatic approach to tackling illegal drugs based on harm reduction principles.
  • Supporting a dynamic international network involved in building participatory, public sector water as the best way to achieve the goal of water for all
  • Confronting the dogma of trade liberalisation, which like financial liberalisation has led to increased inequality, and helping to construct regional alternatives, such as the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, based on regional cooperation and solidarity
  • Analysing and exposing the democratic dangers posed by the concentration of corporate power and proposing new legal frameworks of accountability for transnational corporations.
  • Engaging with democratic innovations and experiments undertaken  by social movements, progressive political parties and governments worldwide helping to empower communities to gain control over their lives and environment
  • Drawing together and analysing the links between the different elements of the systemic crisis —financial, environmental and social.   

Transparency International

TI

About

One global movement sharing one vision: a world in which government, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.

In 1993, a few individuals decided to take a stance against corruption and created Transparency International. Now present in more than 100 countries, the movement works relentlessly to stir the world’s collective conscience and bring about change. Much remains to be done to stop corruption, but much has also been achieved, including:

  • the creation of international anti-corruption conventions
  • the prosecution of corrupt leaders and seizures of their illicitly gained riches
  • national elections won and lost on tackling corruption
  • companies held accountable for their behaviour both at home and abroad

Mission

Our Mission is to stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society. 

 

Vision

Our Vision is a world in which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.

TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL SOUTH AFRICA (CORRUPTION WATCH)

Corruption Watch is a non-profit organisation launched in January 2012. We rely on the public to report corruption to us. We use the reports as an important source of information to fight corruption and hold leaders accountable for their actions.



Communication


Corruption Watch provides a platform for reporting corruption. Anyone can safely share what they experience and observe and can speak out against corruption. Our communication channels include our website, an SMS line, social media, email or post.


Investigation


We investigate selected reports of alleged acts of corruption, in particular those cases that have the most serious impact on our society. For instance, these may be cases involving basic health or education services which affect the most disadvantaged South Africans. We hand our findings over to the relevant authorities to take further action, and we monitor the progress of each case. We work with mainstream and community media to make sure that corruption is fully exposed through our investigative work.


Research


We gather and analyse information to identify patterns and hot spots of corruption. We prepare research reports on these hot spots to expose and find solutions to systemic corruption. Using our own communication platforms and the media, we share our findings with the public, like-minded non-governmental organisations and public sector bodies, all of which are undermined by corruption.


Mobilisation


We build campaigns that mobilise people to take a stand against corruption. Our campaigns involve the public, community groups and other organisations such as trade unions.

Tricontinental

Tricontinental

Missão


O Instituto Tricontinental de Pesquisa Social é uma instituição internacional, orientada pelos movimentos populares, focada em estimular o debate intelectual para o serviço das aspirações do povo.


Nossa história


O significado do Tricontinental:


Em janeiro de 1966, o povo cubano organizou o Tricontinental, uma conferência de movimentos revolucionários da África, Ásia e América Latina (Primera Conferencia de Solidaridad de los Pueblos de Africa, Asia, America Latina). Esta conferência surgiu de duas dinâmicas.


  • Estados que emergiram do movimento anticolonial criaram, em 1961, o Movimento dos Países Não-Alinhados (MNA), que incluía não apenas regimes radicais, mas também aqueles com uma atitude mais conciliatória em relação ao imperialismo.
  • Fora da MNA, existiam movimentos com guerras anti-coloniais inacabadas de libertação nacional que tinham uma vantagem mais radical para eles e que haviam sido reunidas em 1957 na Organização Solidária do Afro-Asiático (AAPSO).

As plataformas MNA e AAPSO geralmente colaboravam entre si. Eles forneceram o espaço cultural do qual o Tricontinental emergiria.


No Tricontinental, o AAPSO foi expandido para a Organização de Solidariedade com os Povos da Ásia, África e América Latina (OSPAAAL), cujo secretariado continua a funcionar em Havana (Cuba). O Tricontinental estabeleceu um marco: paz e socialismo eram os objetivos, e quaisquer meios que levassem a esse objetivo tinham que ser utilizados. De Havana, a OSPAAAL forneceu a infra-estrutura para o entendimento mútuo entre os movimentos nos três continentes. Continuam produzindo a fabulosa revista Tricontinental, que ficou famosa como fornecedora de cartazes emblemáticos que levaram adiante a mensagem do socialismo anticolonial.


A partir dessas histórias – tanto da MNA quanto da OSPAAAL – surgiu uma série de iniciativas importantes, muitas enraizadas nas Nações Unidas. Algumas delas são organizações intergovernamentais (como o The South Center, com sede em Genebra), enquanto outras têm pouco apoio governamental. O que une estas iniciativas é um compromisso com o Sul – nomeadamente com os países que continuam a lutar contra as histórias e estruturas do imperialismo – mas também com a humanidade em geral. Uma filosofia social e política genuinamente baseada no Sul deve se expandir a partir do Sul e abraçar o mundo e suas possibilidades.


Nós, no Instituto Tricontinental de Pesquisa Social, somos uma orgulhosa continuação da herança da conferência Tricontinental e estamos honrados em colaborar com a OSPAAAL para trabalhar na construção de um mundo de paz e justiça. Nós nos posicionamos, nas palavras de Franz Fanon, com os miseráveis ​​da terra para criar um mundo de seres humanos.

UN-REDD Programme

Deforestation and forest degradation account for approximately 11 percent of carbon emissions, more than the entire global transportation sector and second only to the energy sector. It is now clear that in order to constrain the impacts of climate change within limits that society will reasonably be able to tolerate, global average temperatures must be stabilized within two degrees Celsius. This will be practically impossible to achieve without reducing emissions from the forest sector, in addition to other mitigation actions.

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is a mechanism developed by Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It creates a financial value for the carbon stored in forests by offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development. Developing countries would receive results-based payments for results-based actions. REDD+ goes beyond simply deforestation and forest degradation and includes the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.

Unión Agroganadera de Álava-Arabako Nekazarien Elkartea

Uaganet

UAGA - Quiénes somos

La Unión Agroganadera de Álava-Arabako Nekazarien Elkartea, es una Organización Profesional Agraria, sin ánimo de lucro, cuyo principal objetivo es defender los intereses de las personas agricultoras y ganaderas de Álava y Treviño. Se define como una organización independiente, ajena a afiliaciones políticas o intereses partidistas. Es un sindicato unitario, democrático, independiente y asambleario, donde se reúnen todos/as y solamente los/las agricultores/as, ganaderos/as y forestales, hombres y mujeres, que viven del campo principal o secundariamente, sin ningún tipo de discriminación por motivos religiosos, ideológicos, políticos o de sexo.

UAGA cuenta con cerca de 1.500 explotaciones agrarias afiliadas, en su mayoría pequeñas y medianas explotaciones familiares. UAGA es la única organización agraria existente en Álava.

UAGA nació en el año 1977, fruto de la inquietud y necesidad del sector de agruparse, con el fin de conseguir el reconocimiento de la sociedad. El carácter reivindicativo ha sido su seña de identidad, presionando a las administraciones a favor del mantenimiento y pervivencia del sector primario, a través de la generación de empleo que permita mantener vivos nuestros pueblos.

UAGA durante estos años ha logrado constituirse como el referente del sector en Álava, siendo el principal interlocutor del sector ante las administraciones y ante los diferentes agentes sociales.

UAGA forma parte de la confederación de sindicatos agrarios EHNE-UGAV (Euskal Herriko Nekazarien Elkartasuna – Unión de Agricultores y Ganaderos Vascos), formada por las organizaciones agrarias de Alava, Gipuzkoa y Navarra y que es la interlocutora válida en las relaciones con Gobierno Vasco.

En el ámbito estatal UAGA forma parte de la Coordinadora de Organizaciones de Agricultores y Ganaderos –COAG- de la que es fundadora. También UAGA, a través de EHNE, participa en la coordinadora europea CPE (Coordination Paysanne Européenne – Coordinadora Campesina Europea), que a su vez forma parte de Vía Campesina como unión internacional de organizaciones agrarias.
