Partners and Initiatives

ActionAid International USA

ActionAid works to end the extreme poverty that kills 28 children every minute of every day. It knits together its work in communities with advocacy at the regional, national, and international levels. We provide immediate assistance where needed, but also works over the long-term to help poor people create and sustain their own solutions while holding government accountable for respecting their basic human rights. ActionAid USA is part of the global ActionAid family that includes 50 countries across the globe. Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, ActionAid is the only large development organization based in a developing country.

Jubilee USA

Jubilee USA Network is an alliance of more than 80 religious denominations and faith communities, human rights, environmental, labor, and community groups working for the definitive cancellation of crushing debts to fight poverty and injustice in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Center for Economic Policy Research

The Center provides common services for its researchers and for the users of its research, and it obtains funding for the activities it develops. In particular, CEPR develops projects and obtains funding for them, administers and executes the projects, and disseminates the results of the research.
