About the issue
A central objective of our Strategic Plan 2007-2011 is
to 'Build strong consumer organisations around the world that can
campaign effectively for consumers nationally and through CI
globally.'
CI has a track record spanning five decades of establishing and
supporting national consumer organisations in every region of the
world. We will build on our past achievements to develop a stronger
global campaigning movement, equipped to work in collaboration with
partners to achieve our long-term goals.
We are doing this in a number of ways:
- Continually assessing our members' needs and capacities. See
our Member Surveys section for
more on this.
- Focus on providing and marketing relevant and timely
information services as the key service for CI full and affiliate
members.
- Provide targeted organisational capacity building to our
members, based on needs assessments and in a spirit of
partnership.
- Stimulate the exchange of know-how among our members, including
government affiliates.
- Support our members when they face attack from governments,
international corporations or others.
The projects within this section demonstrate these objectives in
action. You can find out more about how CI is helping its
membership operate more effecitively in the Member
support section.
