Inter Pares is a great organization working with southern partners. I have followed their work for about five years or so, a good friend is on staff, and a professor I admire greatly is on the board of directors. You can learn more why I admire their work so much from their mission and mandate. I appreciate that they are tackling some really important issues in the places that matter–for instance (I’ve mentioned this before) they have been working across Canada on a biofuels campaign, linking biofuel policies to food security and environmental impacts. If you want to donate to a development organization, but are not sure which one, Inter Pares is a worthy recipient.
Here’s their video for their “Give Big” campaign.
