Policy Paper of the NGO Working Group on the Export Development Corporation, November 1999, on issues relating to disclosure, the environment, human rights and debt.

This report makes a series of recommendations, building on EDC's own initiatives and the recommendations made by Gowling, Strathy and Henderson in their report on the legislative review of the Export Development Act. If implemented, EDC would be a public financial institution that we would be proud to call Canadian.

The Halifax Initiative

The Halifax Initiative is a Canadian coalition of development, environment, faith-based, human rights and labour groups.

Our goal is to fundamentally transform the international financial system and its institutions, namely the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and export credit agencies.

By doing so, we hope to achieve poverty eradication, environmental sustainability and the full realization of human rights.
