Testimonies-whiteband.org is the ‘people’s portal’ where GCAP constituents 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, you are able to register, and post your stories and photos. All submissions will need to be approved by the GCAP web team, following the guiding principles of the terms of use document. The team will notify inappropriate postings, or propose edits and necessary changes.

The overall policy of the website is that all authors should be contactable, unless authors express the desire to keep their contribution anonymous.

Testimonies can be submitted in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Tips when writing your testimony:

• Think about your audience and what you want your testimony to achieve. What will your audience find interesting?  How will your testimony help communicate what GCAP is trying to achieve?
• Keep it brief!  Ideally a testimony post should be able to be read in three to five minutes.  As a general rule, a few brief posts are better than one long one, depending on the subject matter.
• Events: Paint a picture of the scene to show others what the event is like include location & date. Try to give a sense of events unfolding.  What has been positive or negative?  Low and high points?  Outcomes?
• Describe the persons who are taking part and include their quotes.
