Global Governance Project

We hereby offer a general introduction to the Global Governance Project, promoted by the CRIS campaign. This project has involved groups in Brasil, Colombia, Kenya and the Philippines. In relation to project developments in national contexts, a group of Italian CRIS members started applying the reference FRAMEWORK, for communication rights assessment, to the European context.

This has proven to be a complex yet challenging task. The complexity of European policies and programmes in the field is reflected in the fragmentation of initiatives developed by civil society to address European institution with the aim of promoting communication rights in the region.

We therefore wish to share our work in progress with all those individuals, groups, NGOs that are involved in research as well as advocacy activities in Europe, and invite them to join our efforts: mapping European institutional initiatives in the area of communication and evaluate them in terms of communication rights, promote transparency of European actions around communication and knowledge, foster cooperation among civil society organization towards a more democratic European governance of communication.
