This strategy document describes GI-ESCR ‘s organisational goals for the next four years and how we intend to reach them. Its priorities will continue to be relevant beyond 2025 and will provide the scaffolding for our work in the decade ahead.

The Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (GI-ESCR) is an international non-governmental human rights advocacy organization. Together with partners around the world, GI-ESCR works to end social, economic and gender injustice using a human rights approach.

“We live in uncertain times. The COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis it has generated conceal older crises with deeper roots that in the long term are more important. Some of these – including the climate and environmental crises, extreme and growing inequality, and failure to regulate the powers of private companies – are named below. To confront these global uncertainties, which are existential globally and for countless individuals and communities, we propose a strategic plan for the period 2022 to 2025 that is bold, grounded in the work we do with and for others, flexible, and based on evidence and shared learning.” Part of the preface, by GI-ESCR ED Magdalena Sepúlveda Carmona.
