CEE Bankwatch Network

CEE Bankwatch Network is today the largest network of grassroots, environmental groups in countries of central and eastern Europe and a leading force in preventing dubious public investments that harm the planet and people's well-being in this region and beyond. Operating since 1995 in countries that have undergone significant social and economic transformation, we have the know-how to effectively work in unpredictable environments from North Africa to Central Asia. The banks and funds we watch are often obscure but always important entities that function outside the realm of public scrutiny. Together with local communities and other NGOs we work to expose their influence and provide a counterbalance to their unchecked power.
