Testimonies-whiteband.org is the ‘people’s portal’ where GCAP
constituents and the general public users can log-in to share their
stories, photos and other digital content. The focus is not on economic
analysis; but rather, the human, first-hand accounts of experiences with
poverty or the struggle to abolish it. On this website, will be
displayed personal stories and visuals on the movement’s core issues:
poverty and inequality, accountability, debt, aid, trade and gender.

GCAP campaign
GCAP is a growing alliance of trade unions, community groups, faith
groups, women and youth organisations, NGOs and other campaigners
working together across more than 100 national platforms. GCAP demands
solutions that address the issues of public accountability, just
governance and the fulfilment of human rights; trade justice; a major
increase in the quantity and quality of aid and financing for
development; and debt cancellation. GCAP also affirms that gender
equality must also be at the heart of eradicating poverty.

must be fully accountable to their peoples and transparent in the use of public
resources. They must meet this responsibility by delivering economies that are
