DescriptionBankTrack envisions a private financial sector strictly accountable to society at large, whose operations contributes to creating healthy and just societies and preserve the ecological well being of the planet. BankTrack seeks to achieve this by promoting that private financial institutions implement policies, and prioritize investments that respect environmental integrity, social justice and human rights; by ensuring that civil society stakeholders have an influential voice in decision-making, through greater transparency and accountability within the sector, and by supporting communities whose legitimate rights and interests are violated by private financial sector activities. BankTrack co-ordinates and supports international campaigns that prevent harmful impacts of private financial sector operations on the environment and people, and that will effect positive changes within the sector. BankTrack strengthens civil society’s capacity to monitor and influence the private financial sector by providing policy analysis and research for NGOs, conducting training of campaigners, and direct support for project affected communities. BankTrack functions as an international clearinghouse for NGOs for information and strategy on the private financial sector, and as news source for financial press.
