The Ethical Globalization Initiative (EGI) is a project that brings key stakeholders together in alliances to integrate concepts of human rights, gender sensitivity and enhanced accountability into efforts to address global challenges and governance shortcomings.
The EGI has identified 3 objectives, where the application of a rights and gender-based approach is critical and if implemented, could produce measurable results which contribute to greater human development and human security. These are:
- fostering more equitable international trade and development
- strengthening responses to HIV/AIDS in Africa
- shaping more humane migration policies.
Its website offers access to:
- press and news releases
- speeches and documents that articulate the importance of human rights standards in international policy-making and governance issues and the need for multi-disciplinary policy development and action.
