ESCR-NET PROGRAM COORDINATOR ECONOMIC POLICY AND HUMAN RIGHTS WORKING GROUP
ESCR-Net – International Network for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights connects over 280 NGOs, social movements and advocates across more than 75 countries to build a global movement to make human rights and social justice a reality for all. Through ESCR-Net, members exchange information, build solidarity across regions, develop new tools and strategies, and advance collective actions to secure economic and social justice through the human rights framework, with a special focus on economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR). The member-led, collective work of ESCR-Net is guided by core principles of gender and regional balance in leadership and participation, intersectional analysis, and centrality of grassroots groups and social movements.
ESCR-Net is looking for a new member of our program team, with primary responsibility for coordinating ESCR-Net’s Economic Policy and Human Rights Working Group, as well as supporting related cross-working group and network-wide actions. This Working Group offers a platform for members to deepen and popularize a human rights-based critique of the global economic system guided by grassroots struggles, working to support popular political education and collective action and campaigning across ESCR-Net, and to amplify and articulate alternatives to the dominant socio- economic model, grounded in an inclusive vision for realizing human rights and environmental justice. Following a history of more targeted advocacy on trade, export credit agencies and development finance, this working group has taken these new directions over the past couple years, following an ESCR-Net Global Strategy Meeting (November 2016), the hire of its first dedicated program coordinator (July 2017), and a working group strategy meeting in Tunis (February 2018). The Economic Policy Working Group currently involves over 51 member organizations and 6 individual members, both movements and NGOs from all regions. Its systemic critique project is guided by a Project Advisory Group of 10 members, including five movement members.
We value being a member-led network that engages in consensus-building processes, promotes the visibility of our member organizations before our own, and rightfully defers credit to our members. We do the hard work involved in coordinating a participatory network not only because it aligns with our values but also because we believe in its power to achieve systemic change.
