Humanizing Development Global Photography campaign
Capturing Civil Society at Work
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched a project to creatively present to the world Humanity through photos and film. The campaign will be open for participation from 1 June to 1 October 2009.
Humanizing Development Global Photography Campaign
In collaboration with over 30 partners worldwide, including CIVICUS, we aim to show development through a new lens, depicting examples of people winning the battle against poverty, social exclusion and marginalization, rather than the usual desolation and despair we see in the media. The campaign aims at showing hope and success of development initiatives, empowering and inspiring people!
