CIVICUS has warned that funding has become increasingly complex for US grant-making bodies and those they fund around the world since the attacks on the World Trade Centre on 9/11.
Since the attacks on the World Trade Centre on 9/11, funding has become increasingly complex for US grant-making bodies and those they fund around the world, says the latest bulletin of Civil Society Watch, issued by CIVICUS.
The US Department of Treasury has actually gone as far as accusing charities of being ‘significant’ sources of terrorist funding. As a result, US funders are left manoeuvring through the system of counterterrorism laws and long, dense lists of organisations and individuals labelled as terrorists.
Vanessa Dick, advocacy co-ordinator for Grant-makers Without Borders, describes the challenges facing both funders and organisations seeking grants.
The bulletin has updates on many of the human rights issues throughout the world, such as the continuing imprisonment of Global Call to Action against Poverty workers in Ethiopia, the killing of a human rights worker in Cambodia and the repression of women mobilising against the government of Zimbabwe.
