Monitoring International Financial Institutions


Green Alternative is a member of the CEE Bankwatch Network, one of the strongest networks of environmental NGOs in Central and Eastern Europe.

The CEE Bankwatch Network's mission is to prevent environmentally and socially harmful impacts of international development finance, and to promote alternative solutions and public participation.

The CEE Bankwatch Network is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) with member organisations currently from 12 countries of the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) regions. The basic aim of the network is to monitor activities of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) in the region, and to propose constructive alternatives to their policies and projects in the region.

Members of the CEE Bankwatch Network are NGOs from Bulgaria, Belorussia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Macedonia, Poland, Slovak Republic and Ukraine. The Network is focusing mainly on energy, transport and EU enlargement, while working to promote public participation and access to information about activities of IFIs in the CEE region.

Green Alternative is working to monitor and analyze programmes and projects of International Financial Institutions in Georgia, especially in the energy sector, as well as to support Georgian NGOs' capacity to deal with IFIs' projects in various sectors.

Together with various national and international NGOs, Green Alternative is creating an independent network of Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) watchers, to ensure public participation in the decision-making process, improve the quality of documents and facilitate sustainable development of Georgia, and to monitor the implementation of programmes.
