Halifax Initiative Statement on the FTAA

The proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas will,if signed, lock-in countries to the unsustainable path forged by IMF and World Bank agreements.

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.
