CUTS INTERNATIONAL
CUTS - CONSUMER UNITY AND TRUST SOCIETY

In 1983, a small voluntary group of concerned citizens, operating out of a garage on a zero budget, initiated CUTS INTERNATIONAL. Today, this organisation operates out of five centres in India, two in Africa, and one in the UK, with a staff compliment of over 85 persons. The centres are located in Jaipur (head office), New Delhi, Chittorgarh and Calcutta in India, Lusaka in Zambia, Nairobi in Kenya and London in the United Kingdom.

CUTS INTERNATIONAL operate within five functional areas:

                        * consumer protection, which includes accountability, regulatory reforms etc.;
                        * trade and development;
                        * competition, investment and regulatory policies;
                        * sustainable production and consumption, including consumer safety; and
                        * rural consumers and women’s empowerment.

The organisation elects its board/executive committee every three years, while the secretariat is headed by the Secretary General. It has currently 1200 individuals and 300 organisations as members. The organisation is accredited to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development.

CUTS INTERNATIONAL, through its CUTS CENTRES, work with several national, regional and international organisations, such as Consumers International, the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics & Environment, the Consumer Coordination Council of India, etc. CUTS INTERNATIONAL also serves on several policy-making bodies of the Government of India.

THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA
is a private-sector initiative. We are actively involved with promoting the
AFRICAN RENEWAL PROGRAMME
alongside the
NEPAD
(New Partnerships for Africa's Development) initiative.

However - we firmly believe that sustainable development is a process that must start from within - Africa needs to "partner" with herself first! - We also prefer the phrase: "Lets create wealth" rather than "Lets alleviate poverty"

Our initiatives include: networking opportunities; business opportunities; investment opportunities; promotion of special projects; dissemination of business information; joint venture initiatives and a range of value added services - all to serve
AFRICA!

Our efforts, often provided under difficult circumstances, are privately funded. Every contribution is acknowledged!
