Social Watch Report 2009
The report from over sixty civil society organisations around the world, entitled People First, shows that the only way out of the current ecological and economic crisis is to devote resources to strengthening people's wellbeing.
The report documents how governments are falling short in their commitment to eradicate poverty and achieve gender equity through the testimony of civil society groups in 61 countries.
This annual report is published since 1996 by Social Watch, an international NGO watchdog network monitoring government compliance with their international commitments. The Report 2009 contains statistics, country reports and thematic reports on the financial and economic crisis and its social impacts.
