Quick note from Washington DC. See photo of Blair being a big-shot presenting to the World Bank on Land, Poverty and Human Rights.

Our presentation went really well. Our panel was hosted by a representative of the British foreign aid agency, DFID.

Trade, tax, transparency and development is at the top of the British agenda, and NomoGaia may become part of that. DFID is interested in considering using NomoGaia’s human rights impact assessment process to improve the transparency of the projects in which it invests. This could be cool, and I’ll keep you posted.
