Actual comment
In 2017, FGG contributed to 50 real changes in practice on the ground – twice as many as we achieved last year. For FGG, this change is translated in 18 concrete steps taken by governments to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations´ value chains. For example, due to advocacy by ActionAid and partners in 2016, concrete improvements in terms of transparency and multi-stakeholder dialogue were achieved in Zambia: the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA), a government body, has in 2017 improved their transparency on the impact mining companies’ activities have on water. ZEMA managed to get back to the community to give feedback and explanations on the issues of water testing, facilitated by ActionAid and its partners. There has also been a stakeholder platform initiated, which brings together mining companies and local government to hold interface meetings on issues of human rights violations. In addition, 21 concrete steps were taken by companies to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their activities and those in their value chains.Six of these concerned so-called Urgent Appeals cases that the CCC network is campaigning on towards several garment companies, which were resolved in 2017. For example, in one such case in Sri Lanka workers voted to have the trade union recognised as legitimate bargaining partner in a workers’ referendum in two factories following on a period of intimidation of workers for their union membership and other union busting measures. The union is now recognized as a legitimate representative in the conflict on behalf of the workers. Actions included CCC, League, IndustriALL and other international partners addressing international buyers of the company. In the area of trade and investment policies, 5 mechanisms, policies and regulations were implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. For example, one concrete step was taken by the OECD NCP system on 14 November 2017. A major shift in practice was made by accepting a case related to the climate impacts of a company, reversing years of practice of rejecting such complaints. SOMO had assisted a group of CSOs in filing an OECD Guidelines complaint against ING Bank for the climate impacts of the bank’s investments in fossil fuels. Previous attempts to use the NCP system to address climate change had failed when NCPs rejected the complaints, but this time SOMO provided the CSOs with strong technical advice and argumentation that convinced the Dutch NCP to accept the case, making it the first ever complaint related to climate change to be accepted and handled by an OECD NCP anywhere in the world. The acceptance of this case sets a precedent for the entire NCP system and makes it possible for CSOs and unions around the world, including in LLMIC, to use the OECD Guidelines to address the adverse climate impact of companies. Finally, 6 practice changes were achieved in the area of financial and tax regimes, including public finance. Two mechanisms for improved financial, tax and spending policies were implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. For example, A water rights campaign led by TNI partner in Nigeria, mobilised public resistance and halted the Lagos State Environmental Laws (that would further criminalise the informal sector and deny peoples' access to water). In 2017, the government allocated 185 million dollars of the budget to ensure clean water for people as a result of the campaign. TNI made a financial contribution to the campaign and TNI's expertise was used in the joint publication. Also, 4 concrete steps taken by public financial institutions and private actors to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and concrete steps taken that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. Importantly, in July 2017, FMO and Finnfund exited from the Agua Zarca hydropower project in Honduras. Renowned human rights leader, Berta Caceres, who led the protest against the project was murdered in March 2016. Following her murder, FMO and Finnfund commissioned an independent mission and then announced it would start a process of responsible exit. That process took almost a year to conclude. SOMO and Both ENDS met repeatedly with FMO to urge them to divest, while TNI also supported partner organisations to advocate for the same. FGG members provided comments on the draft mission report, were in communication with COPINH, providing information and advice, and provided input to the facilitator who was organizing the exit process. [For more information about these results, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie, Friends of the Earth International, and SOMO), results FGG ToC 1-3 F (indicators a and b) 2017.]

In 2018, the FGG Alliance will contribute to 45 concrete steps taken by governments and/or companies to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations´ value chains (ToC1); and/or mechanisms, policies and regulations implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs (ToC2); and/or mechanisms for improved financial, tax and spending policies implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies, and/or concrete steps taken by public financial institutions and private actors to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and concrete steps taken that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs (ToC3).
Actual comment
In 2018, the FGG Alliance’s work under the umbrella of three Theories of Change (ToCs), aimed at improved corporate conduct (ToC1), improved trade and investment (ToC2) and improved financial and tax systems (ToC3) contributed to 49 changes on the ground. ToC1 37 of the changes in practice that FGG achieved related to corporate conduct, concerned concrete steps taken by governments and companies to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations’ value chains. For example, after five years of struggle, union members of the Meridian Garment Industries Limited factory in Cambodia were finally reinstated and/or received payment, as a result of cooperation between international labour rights groups, including FGG member CCC, and brands that sourced from the factory. Five years ago, the union activists were unlawfully dismissed after trying to form a branch of a union in their factory. In May 2018, the factory finally successfully compensated the last of the involved workers. ToC2 FGG’s efforts for improved trade and investment materialised in 1 mechanism, which advances policy coherence for development in LLMICs, and which was implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Since the beginning of the FGG programme in 2016 Both ENDS, Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI and have been advocating for fundamental change in Dutch Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), which can be harmful especially for LLMICs, because of the investment protection clauses in these BITs, which bypass national justice systems and undermine democracy. In 2013, FGG member TNI published a briefing on BITs between EU Member States (intra-EU BITs), and FGG members advocated for the termination of these BITs. In March 2018, The European Court of Justice ruled all intra-EU BITs are illegal, meaning that 1500 BITs in different EU Member States will be cancelled. The ruling provides for an opening for CSOs in LLMICs to challenge BITs between their countries and European countries. ToC3 In 2018, 3 mechanisms were implemented for improved financial, tax and spending policies and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Also, 8 concrete steps were taken by public financial institutions and private actors to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. For example, specific meetings, in which two FGG partner organisations from Senegal participated, contributed to FMO (The Netherlands Development Finance Company) encouraging its client to improve the technical design of the Sendou coal-fired power plant. This improvement is expected to lead to less negative environmental impact and improve the community outreach of the company. FMO has started monitoring the compensation process and uses inputs from one FGG partner organisation, Both ENDS and SOMO in making informed decisions. Furthermore, these meetings led to improved communication between FMO and FGG members Both ENDS and SOMO and their partner organisations. [For more information about results on this specific indicator, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid Netherlands, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth International/Friends of the Earth Europe, SOMO and the Transnational Institute), results FGG ToC 1-3 F (indicators a and b) 2018.

In 2019, the FGG Alliance aims to contribute to 66 real changes in practice on the ground under the umbrella of three Theory of Changes (ToCs): improved corporate conduct (ToC1), trade and investment (ToC2) and financial and tax systems (ToC3). The changes on the ground in the area of corporate conduct should materialise in 17 concrete steps taken by governments to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations´ value chains. An example of the concrete steps that we aim for is the implementation and enforcement of stronger customary land rights by a local government body in Asia, related to palm oil plantations. To this purpose, FGG member Both ENDS will collaborate with partner organisations through jointly creating strategies and linking with policy platforms where needed. Not only governments, but also companies are expected to take concrete steps to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their activities and those in their value chains. More specifically, we aim for there to be 35 such steps taken. For example, in the garment industry we expect that more brands will join the Transition Accord in Bangladesh. We will pay particular attention to drawing in the home textile sector and Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) brands, through lobby activities and campaigning by FGG member Clean Clothes Campaign and partner organisations from LLMICs. Another example is that we expect that oil and gas companies take measures that reduce negative environmental and/or human rights impacts of their operations, after joint advocacy by FGG member Friends of the Earth Europe and their partner organisations in LLMICs. Through our work on trade and investment, we aim to ensure that 3 mechanisms, policies and regulations are implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Thus advancing policy coherence in trade and investment for development in LLMICs. In 2019, FGG member ActionAid Netherlands and various partner organisations will for example continue to lobby for the institutional requirements to ensure SDG implementation and policy coherence, such as good dialogue and coordination mechanisms between different Ministries in the Netherlands, as well as implementation of the policy coherence action plan, good impact assessments and an SDG test. Research by FGG member Transnational Institute and partner organisations from several Asian and Latin American partner organisations, and advocacy on the basis of this research, are expected to contribute to the withdrawal of an LLMIC’s support for the signing of the Energy Charter Treaty - a treaty that has triggered more investment lawsuits than any other agreement. By working on improvement of financial and tax regimes, the FGG Alliance expects to achieve 11 changes in practice. On the one hand, we aim for national, regional and international government bodies to implement and enforce improved financial, tax and spending policies. One of the two mechanisms that we aim for is a tracking mechanism to improve public finance management in the mining sector. ActionAid Zimbabwe and a partner organisation will organise various meetings with government and other actors to convince them of the need to implement this mechanism. On the other hand, we aim for public financial institutions and private actors to take 9 concrete steps to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and to advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. One of the concrete steps we aim for concerns compensation measures taken by the International Finance Corporation and/or a sugarcane company to 300 sugarcane workers in Latin America, as a result of a complaint filed by these workers, supported by FGG member SOMO. These benefits should compensate for the health and economic problems that the workers suffer as a result of Chronic Kidney Disease, which they suspect to be partially caused by the poor labour conditions of the sugar company. [For more information about these plans/targets, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid Netherlands, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth International/Friends of the Earth Europe, SOMO and the Transnational Institute), targets FGG ToC 1-3 F (indicators a and b) 2019.]

DD1 (F): # of laws, policies and norms, implemented for sustainable and inclusive development. In 2019, the FGG Alliance’s work under the umbrella of three Theories of Change (ToCs), aimed at improved corporate conduct (ToC1), improved trade and investment (ToC2) and improved financial and tax systems (ToC3) contributed to 53 changes on the ground. ToC1 38 of the changes in practice that FGG achieved related to corporate conduct, concerned concrete steps taken by governments and companies to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations’ value chains. An example at the national level is the case of the PT Kahoindah Citragarment factory in Indonesia. In 2018, the owners of the factory announced their intention to close down the factory, which would have severe consequences for the garment workers employed there. The workers were denied severance, which was against Indonesian law. In turn, they contacted their trade unions, and members of the CCC network got involved. CCC member Workers Rights Consortium (WRC) conducted an investigation in response to complaints from workers. Violations of US university labour standards and buyer codes were identified, and WRC lobbied brands (Fanatics, Gap, and Under Armour) to pressure the supplier. As a result, the supplier agreed to honour its obligations, and WRC – with input from workers - worked with the supplier to develop a plan for the efficient distribution of funds to the former employees. After a WRC-led worker outreach effort, more than 99% of the eligible workers visited a designated meeting place near the location of the closed factory to sign documents confirming their acceptance of the planned payments. WRC was also a signatory in the agreement. The total amount will be 4.5 million USD, which is the largest amount workers have ever won in a single case of illegally denied severance and an important precedent in Indonesia. ToC2 FGG’s efforts for improved trade and investment materialised in 2 mechanisms, which advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs, and which were implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. One example on international level concerns the new Dutch Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) model. In 2019, the Dutch government improved the text significantly, and based on the renewed model BIT –with better human rights safeguards, an improved level of transparency, and fewer options for business to call upon investment protection measures- the Netherlands started new negotiations with Ecuador, Argentina and Burkina Faso. This is the first time the new model text forms the basis of BIT negotiations. This is a result of years of joint advocacy of partners and FGG members Both ENDS, SOMO, Milieudefensie and TNI for improvements of the model text and transparency of the process. Partners are from - amongst others - Togo, Kenya, Burundi and Sri Lanka. These partners faced negative consequences of BITs for years, impacted communities were not able to access effective remedy, and businesses could sue governments for policy changes in favour of the public but with possible negative influence on businesses’ profits. ToC3 In 2019, 3 mechanisms were implemented for improved financial, tax and spending policies and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Also, 10 concrete steps were taken by public financial institutions and private actors to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. One example of a private sector actor improving its policies at the international level is Shell. Through staunch advocacy and campaigning, the FGG Alliance contributed to transparency of Shell which published its first Tax Contribution Report. The FGG members, in close collaboration with and in support of partner organisations, amongst others in Nigeria, contributed through years of research and advocacy on tax justice and country-by-country reporting, and by publishing reports in 2017 and 2018 that showed how Shell avoided the dividend tax. Shell’s report enables CSOs and the general public to analyse how much tax Shell pays in the countries they operate in, such as Nigeria, and it enables them to hold the company or the government in question accountable for possible tax avoidance. Profit shifting out of LLMICs undermines their ability to spend tax incomes on basic public services such as health care and education. This report also sets an example for other companies. It is a big step forward that Shell now complies with this demand.

DD1 (F): # of laws, policies and norms, implemented for sustainable and inclusive development. The FGG Alliance’s work under the umbrella of three Theories of Change (ToCs), aims at improved corporate conduct (ToC1), improved trade and investment (ToC2) and improved financial and tax systems (ToC3). For 2020, the FGG Alliance expects to contribute to 46 laws, policies and norms, implemented for sustainable and inclusive development. This DD1 indicator is linked to FGG outcome ‘’F’’, practice change. Within this outcome, we aim for improved corporate policies, government regulations and trade and investment policies and processes being implemented and enforced. We also aim for successful and sustainable implementation of financial regulation by governments and financial policies in corporations; tax regimes and corporate tax practices; and accountability, transparency, safeguards and gender aware policies in public financial institutions. ToC1 For 2020, in the area of corporate conduct the FGG Alliance aims to achieve 38 concrete steps taken by governments and companies to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations’ value chains. For example, it is expected that in approximately 4 Urgent Appeal cases, which are appeals to clothing brands regarding violation of workers’ rights, brands will take concrete steps to mitigate these violations as a result of the pressure from partner organisations from LLMICs and FGG member CCC´s advocacy and campaigning. Steps can include to pay back wages, to re-hire unjustly fired workers, or other remedies. The focus on which cases are taken up is partly determined by the type of violations and which ones the partner organisations find most pressing and strategic. ToC2 Over the past years, FGG members and partner organisations have been intensively advocating for improvements of EU trade and investment treaties that guarantee access for civil society for democratic decision-making. Achieving practice change in this area, is often the end result of long-term processes, which can take years and years. As 2020 does not seem the momentum to achieve real practice change in this area, FGG will mostly focus its work within trade and investments on capacity development, developing & promoting alternatives and agenda setting, with the aim to achieve practice change in following years. Therefore, all of FGG’s targets within the area of improved trade and investment for next year will be reported under DD2-DD5. ToC3 In 2020, it is expected that 3 mechanisms will be implemented for improved financial, tax and spending policies and will be enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Also, 5 concrete steps will be taken by public financial institutions and private actors to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. For example, partner organisations together with FGG members SOMO and Both ENDS, will continue their advocacy for improvement of practices of (the accountability mechanisms) of different financial institutions. One of Both ENDS’ targets is to improve, in collaboration with local partners, the functioning of the Independent Complaints Mechanism of FMO and the capacity of the mechanism to increase access for local communities to claim their environmental, human and worker rights. Another expected result of the cooperation between an FGG partner with the support of SOMO, are the concrete steps taken by an International Finance Corporation and involved company in providing health care, alternative work or improved labour conditions to 300 sugarcane workers in Nicaragua whom are suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease. This suffering is suspected to be caused, in part, by poor labour conditions. This result will follow from a complaint filed by workers represented by the FGG partner organisation.

DD1 (F): # of laws, policies and norms, implemented for sustainable and inclusive development. In 2020, the FGG Alliance’s work under the umbrella of three Theories of Change (ToCs), aimed at improved corporate conduct (ToC1), improved trade and investment (ToC2) and improved financial and tax systems (ToC3) contributed to 93 changes on the ground. ToC1 83 of the changes in practice that FGG achieved related to corporate conduct, concerned concrete steps taken by governments and companies to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of corporate activities and those in corporations’ value chains. Such changes in practice are ultimately what the FGG Alliance aims at: changes for and in the lives of people we work with. The changes we achieve are often combinations of changes in the practices of Northern governments and companies, and concrete changes in LLMICs. This was also the case in the results we achieved around land rights: after a successful FGG member (ActionAid and Both ENDS) lobby with involvement of partners for VGGTs, FPIC and women’s land rights in Dutch MinFA policies and programmes such as Land@Scale, Dutch high-level policy-makers committed to women’s land rights and implemented principles of the VGGT in for instance their IRBC policies and in certain trade mission programmes. This success coincides with land rights-related results achieved in LLMICs. A clear example of such a result is the fact that local leaders from a community in Northern Uganda decided to stop investors from grabbing land of community groups. This happened after a local women’s group successfully used peaceful resistance tactics against land grabbing, after receiving a training on this tactic by a local FGG (ActionAid) partner. Together with their fellow community members they started a singing campaign in which they would start singing in large groups during any gathering, constantly repeating this same message: “no one should take our ancestral land. This land belongs to us and our children and we will not allow anyone to grab it.” The local leaders eventually demanded the investors to leave their land. Also garment brands took action to mitigate human rights violations in their value chains, as a result of pressure exerted through FGG (CCC with members of their global network) lobbying and campaigning: A group of workers in Romania received their full back wages after an intense media campaign went viral and international pressure led to three brands (Inditex, Holy Fashion, and a UK high street brand) sourcing from the factory to take responsibility; and three brands (Disney, Tesco and Starbucks - NBC Universal followed in 2021) paid 26 Burmese migrant garment workers from the Kanlayanee factory in Thailand who had been fighting against wage theft. ToC2 FGG’s efforts for improved trade and investment materialised in 3 mechanisms, which advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs, and which were implemented and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Building upon results in previous years, in 2020 FGG (Both ENDS with partners from various LLMICs) contributed to important developments concerning the termination of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) between LLMICs and EU countries: 23 EU Member States signed the agreement for the termination of intra-EU BITs (“Termination Agreement”). This makes it politically easier for LLMICs to terminate their BITs with EU member states which amount to approximately 200 BITs. Both ENDS and partners have played an active role in advocating for the termination of all treaties that contain ISDS as well as calling for the EU to fulfil the related ruling of the European court of justice in 2018. Notably, the advocacy of Both ENDS and partners on BITs has in fact already -also in 2020- contributed to the actual termination of BITs: the termination of 8 BITs (7 BITs of India with Jordan, Myanmar, Serbia, Mozambique, Syria, Brunei and 1 BIT of Indonesia with Australia) entered into force in 2020. This is a relief for civil society in those countries, as they have faced the negative consequences of these BITs for years: affected communities couldn’t access effective remedy and governments could be sued by companies for adopting policies for the public good that could harm these companies’ profits. ToC3 In 2020, 4 mechanisms were implemented for improved financial, tax and spending policies and enforced by national, regional and international government bodies. Also, 3 concrete steps were taken by public financial institutions and private actors to actively identify, prevent and mitigate adverse social, gender and environmental impacts of their investments, and advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. For years, FGG (CSOs in Brazil, Both ENDS and SOMO) has sought justice for communities severely affected by specific port developments in Brazil in which Dutch companies participated. They advocated for changed practices to alleviate related social problems and environmental damage. Following a formal complaint, the National Contact Point for the OECD Guidelines in Brazil called on all parties involved to continue mediation efforts to resolve issues around the Port of Suape (Pernambuco) that had been signalled in the initial complaint. In 2020 the anchor area for ships waiting outside the port was moved outside traditional fishing areas, and the removal of a dam that obstructs the natural flow of a river in the port area was taken on the agenda by the port.

Actual comment
In 2017, FGG contributed to 55 laws, policies and norms/attitudes being blocked, adopted, or improved for sustainable and inclusive development. Of these policy changes, 19 were cases where national, regional and international government bodies improved or introduced mechanisms, policies and regulations to ensure companies promote more sustainable practices and are held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment and providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts. For example, a policy was improved by the village government in West Kalimantan through advocacy of a local NGO supported by Both ENDS: a by-law which forbids logging of community forests was introduced by the customary/cultural leaders and recognized by the village leader, which ensures communal and indigenous land rights and customary forest management practices are recognised and protected from encroachment of industrial developments. Another 13 policies were improved or introduced by companies on transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability. For example, three more brands (Haglöfs, Kjus and the Dutch SuitSupply) signed up to the Indonesia Freedom of Association protocol and adapted their internal policies accordingly as a result of continued lobby towards this aim by CCC and its network partners. In our second ToC, 9 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. For example, Ecuador established an independent commission to audit its BITs; TNI staff Cecilia Olivet headed this commission. As a result, president Correa announced that Ecuador would terminate its 16 remaining BITs. The decision was reiterated by Minister of Foreign Affairs. In another example, in December 2017 the Dutch government officially committed a cap of 5% as limit to biofuels, and outphasing of palm oil and soy, including a reference to land issues that need to be prevented. At EU level a cap of 7% until 2030 was adopted. ActionAid supported other CSO efforts on this, as well as met with Ministries, emailed MEPs directly and used social media, building on work in the past as well. Finally, in the area of financial and tax systems, 8 measures were taken by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. For example, in January 2017, SEATINI Uganda and other CSOs under the Tax Justice Alliance developed alternative revenue proposals. Among these was a paper highlighting alternative revenue measures aimed at contributing to an increase of and more equitable domestic revenue mobilisation. One proposal was adopted by the Ugandan Parliament in the tax bills for 2017/18, namely: to impose excise duty on imported furniture other than local furniture and specialized hospital furniture was taken on and included in the Tax Bills for FY 2017/18. Another 6 policies were improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. An important example for FGG was that FMO published its new sustainability policy at the end of 2017 after extensive public stakeholder consultation and side meetings with Both ENDS, together with SOMO and Oxfam Novib. The experience with the Agua Zarca project and the strong reactions and engagement with this project (by FGG members but also together with national and local partners, and the Dutch government) were one of the main reasons for this policy change. The new policy includes greater emphasis on human rights and gender (including human rights defenders and FPIC) and some strong commitments for implementation (human rights risk assessments; HRDs protocol among others).

In 2018, the FGG Alliance will ensure that 56 mechanisms, policies and regulations are improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure companies promote more sustainable practices and are held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment and providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts; and/or policies improved or introduced by companies on transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability (ToC1); and/or mechanisms, policies and regulations improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs (ToC2); and/or measures taken by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs, and/or policies improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs (ToC3).
Actual comment
In 2018, the FGG Alliance contributed to 63 laws, policies and norms/attitudes being blocked or adopted in order to improve corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax systems. ToC1 Due to FGG’s lobbying and advocacy efforts, 26 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure companies promote more sustainable practices and are held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment and providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts. For example, CCC and SOMO brought together their partner organisations’ inputs for the Fair Wear Foundation’s (FWF) revised Enhanced Monitoring Programme policy for Myanmar, and presented their recommendations in a meeting of FWF’s Committee of Experts. After long deliberations, FGG’s recommendations were accepted and processed in the formation of a new policy document. The Enhanced Monitoring Programme Myanmar-Update 2018 (April, 2018) now includes concrete requirements for FWF member companies with regard to transparency, due diligence and the promotion of freedom of association. In addition, there is now a clear requirement for members to refrain from doing business with factories with links to the military. Companies also improved policies on transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability. In total, 14 of such policies by companies were improved. ToC 2 13 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. For example, in 2018, building on earlier successes and activities in the area of gender mainstreaming, FGG Alliance members ActionAid, Both ENDS, Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI (together with WO=MEN and Partos) lobbied the Parliament and the Ministry, which contributed to the explicit statement in the new trade policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that there will be agreements on gender in new EU trade agreements. Furthermore, in the new aid and trade policy, Minister Kaag pledged to make positive steps towards gender mainstreaming, which means gender will be considered in all elements of her policy: trade, corporate accountability, emergencies, food security, climate etc. ToC3 Successful FGG Alliance lobbying contributed to 4 measures taken by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. Furthermore, 6 policies were improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. For example, over the course of 2018, FGG members SOMO and Both ENDS, together with other CSOs and with regular involvement of FGG partner organisations from LLMICs, established a regular, structural dialogue on International Financial Institutions (IFIs) with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. The dialogue has helped ensure a strong line of communication between CSOs and the government about its position on environmental and social standards and accountability at these institutions. The strengthened relationship allowed FGG to work closely with the Dutch Government to secure improvements to the accountability mechanisms at several IFIs, including the AIIB and the European Investment Bank (EIB). Strong, effective accountability mechanisms are necessary to ensure communities in LLMICs (in which IFIs often lend) can access remedy for the harms caused by IFI-financed projects, especially in contexts where communities may not feel safe raising objections to their local or national authorities for fear of retaliation. On several occasions, with input of FGG members and partner organisations (such as CEE BankWatch Network and CounterBalance), the Dutch Government was instrumental in securing improvements and reforms at IFIs. For example, the recommendations of the Dutch Government led to better oversight of EIB’s Complaint Mechanism Policy and its cases at its Board of Directors. The final policy still contains significant deficiencies. The Ministry of Finance has asked the FGG Alliance to inform them if the concerns FGG has with the complaint process materialise.

In 2019, the FGG Alliance expects to contribute to 78 laws, policies and norms/attitudes being blocked or adopted in order to improve corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax systems. Of these policy changes, 28 are expected to be cases where national, regional and international government bodies improve or introduce mechanisms, policies and regulations to ensure companies promote more sustainable practices and are held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment as well as providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts. For example, FGG members ActionAid Netherlands and Both ENDS actively advocate for addressing women’s land rights and gender considerations in the Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation policy of the Netherlands. This advocacy is based on the experiences and practices of a multitude of partner organisations in a variety of LLMICs. The improved policy should contribute to strengthening women’s land rights in amongst others LLMICs. Companies are also expected to improve or introduce policies related to transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability. 35 of such improved or new policies are foreseen. We expect a (Dutch) clothing brand to publicly support the development of the Pakistan Safety Agreement, and sign on when ready, as a result of FGG member Clean Clothes Campaign's lobby and advocacy work on brands in regard to this topic. Related to trade and investment treaties, the FGG Alliance aims for the improvement or introduction of 5 mechanisms, policies and regulations by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. For example, FGG partner organisations and members specifically aim to influence new government policies on climate, agriculture and energy, to reduce harm and promote positive impacts on land and food, specifically in LLMICs. ActionAid Netherlands will carry out their advocacy in the Netherlands as well as regarding decision-making processes on climate at EU and UN level. The FGG Alliance pursues 7 measures by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. The Ugandan government, for example, is expected to revise a bilateral tax agreement to avoid tax avoidance of multinational companies, as a result of lobby and advocacy of CSOs, including ActionAid Uganda. The Zambian government is also expected to review a bilateral tax agreement as a result of ActionAid Zambia’s engagement with government and corporates on changes in tax laws and policies, as well as exemptions reduction. Both ActionAid Uganda and ActionAid Zambia work closely together with ActionAid Netherlands on these matters. 3 policies are expected to be improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. These targets relate to the advocacy of FGG members Both ENDS, SOMO and partner organisations to improve the FMO human rights defender regulations, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank’s PPM (project-affected peoples mechanism), the European Investment Bank’s energy lending criteria and the World Bank Guidance notes which relate to sustainability and human rights of IFIs and FMO. Mutual Capacity Development forms the basis of this advocacy: FGG members and their partner organisations jointly improve their knowledge and advocacy skills, and develop concrete cases which show the harmful effects of investments in e.g. Senegal and several LLMICs in Asia. [For more information about these plans/targets, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid Netherlands, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth International/Friends of the Earth Europe, SOMO and the Transnational Institute), targets FGG ToC 1-3 E (indicators a and b) 2019.]

DD2 (E): # of laws, policies and norms/attitudes, blocked, adopted, improved for sustainable and inclusive development In 2019, the FGG Alliance contributed to 86 laws, policies and norms/attitudes being blocked or adopted in order to improve corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax systems. ToC1 Due to FGG’s lobbying and advocacy efforts, 28 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure companies promote more sustainable practices and are held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment and providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts. Companies also improved policies on transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability. In total, 35 of such policies by companies were improved. For example, the CCC network lobbied the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) and the Dutch Agreement for Sustainable Garment and Textiles (AGT) to make the Transparency Pledge a condition for their member brands. This resulted in a strengthened transparency policy including a factory list with suppliers of the FWF member brands. This list is publicly available through a search function on the website. Now factory workers and trade unions know who is responsible for the factories and their employees, and in case of violations they can hold them accountable. This lobby also resulted in eight Dutch brands signing the Transparency Pledge at the stakeholder day of the AGT. They all promised to disclose their supply chains according to the transparency pledge standard. Another example in this regard is the result of the Institut Dayakologi which enabled the Indigenous Kendawangan community in Indonesia to reach a heads of agreement for a negotiated settlement of a 10-year land conflict with a palm oil company. In 2010, the company grabbed over 700ha of customary lands. The settlement includes measures to improve the conduct of the local operating palm oil company. Both ENDS has been supporting Institut Dayakologi with strategic advice and leverage via the RSPO platform and relationships with senior staff of the palm oil company. ToC 2 15 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. One example is the contribution of Both ENDS’ and TNI’s partners in improving regulations on a regional level. In September 2019, Investor Sate Dispute Settlement (ISDS) was removed from Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a trade agreement between 15 Asian countries. This followed years of lobby and advocacy by partners, including from Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar and India, and with support of TNI, FoEI and Both ENDS. By removing ISDS from RCEP, investors can no longer file complaints for income loss against governments that take measures in the public interest. Governments can lose large amounts of money with these complaints, which otherwise could be used for public services. The threat of ISDS claims influences governmental decision making processes and hinders democracy. ToC3 Successful FGG lobby and advocacy contributed to 6 measures taken by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. In Uganda, 16 organisations are now members of the Tax Justice Alliance and through the FGG programme they were able to strengthen their capacity to continue influencing progressive tax policies. Together, the members of the Tax Justice Alliance have conducted a series of joint activities including widespread media engagement, and developing and presenting the CSO position on the tax bills for financial year 2019-2020 to parliament. As a result of this lobby and advocacy work, the Ugandan Parliament amended the Income Tax Bill which will limit tax avoidance and tax evasion. ActionAid Uganda provided technical, financial and logistical support to these activities of the Tax justice Alliance. Also, Ugandan CSO’s, as part of the Tax Justice Alliance, organized a meeting with officials from the Dutch Ministry of Finance who are part of the tax treaty negotiating team from the Netherlands. The CSOs shared their concerns on clauses within the Uganda-Netherlands Double Taxation Agreement, and elaborated on the impacts for them and their country. Furthermore, 2 policies were improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs.

DD2 (E): # of laws, policies and norms/attitudes, blocked, adopted, improved for sustainable and inclusive development The FGG Alliance’s work under the umbrella of three Theories of Change (ToCs), aims at improved corporate conduct (ToC1), improved trade and investment (ToC2) and improved financial and tax systems (ToC3). For 2020, the FGG Alliance expects to contribute to 48 laws, policies and norms/attitudes being blocked or adopted in order to improve corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax systems. This DD2 indicator is linked to FGG indicator ‘’E’’, policy change. This specific outcome aims at improved policies by governments and companies related to corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax systems. ToC1 FGG’s advocacy efforts will contribute to 15 mechanisms, policies and regulations are being improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure companies to promote more sustainable and inclusive practices and to be held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment and providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts. For example, the government of Kenya will most likely revise its national land policy 2009 after its 10 years’ timeframe has elapsed. It is expected that in 2020 a revised national land policy will be adopted which will include strong safeguards including components of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). This will be the result of lobbying and advocacy efforts by FGG partner organisation ActionAid Kenya and its partners. ActionAid Kenya will also mobilize women, communities and CSOs to engage in this process. Companies also are expected to improve their policies on transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability. In total, FGG anticipates that 22 of such policies by companies will be improved. For example, FGG aims for the result that one major palm oil trading company in Indonesia improves its policy on community engagement, land acquisition or smallholder policies to increase recognition and protection of the rights of local stakeholders after consultation with local CSOs supported by FGG member Both ENDS in terms of joint strategizing, advocacy and program development. ToC 2 2 mechanisms, policies and regulations will be improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. For example, in 2020, building on earlier successes and activities of FGG Alliance members ActionAid, Both ENDS, Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI (together with WO=MEN and Partos) in the area of gender mainstreaming in trade policies, the Alliance will continue to promote policy options (based on Southern partners’ experiences) for gender-just trade and investments policies towards the Dutch government. ActionAid, for example, will do this by analyzing and highlighting the instrumental and tokenistic use of women’s rights and/or gender-blind approaches within the formulation of the Dutch trade and investment policies. In this context, ActionAid will engage with the Dutch government on the Action Plan on policy coherence for development and it is expected that the government will improve the Action Plan in order to prevent negative gender impacts when it comes to trade and investment. ToC3 Successful FGG Alliance advocacy will contribute to 6 measures taken by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. Furthermore, it is expected that 3 policies will be improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. For example, it is aimed for that the Green Climate Fund (GCF) board adopts a new gender policy with improved text on at least specific definitions, time paths and a strong role for human and women’s rights. Both ENDS, as part of the international group of CSO observers, together with partners will play an active role in the advocacy towards the GCF Board and the secretariat to improve this policy, during and in-between board meetings.

DD2 (E): # of laws, policies and norms/attitudes, blocked, adopted, improved for sustainable and inclusive development In 2020, the FGG Alliance contributed to 35 laws, policies being blocked or adopted in order to improve corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax systems. ToC1 Due to FGG’s lobbying and advocacy efforts, 8 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure companies promote more sustainable practices and are held accountable for respecting human rights and the environment and providing adequate remedy to victims of adverse impacts. One of the mechanisms that the FGG Alliance (ActionAid, SOMO and Milieudefensie, through MVO Platform) has been lobbying for over the past years, is mandatory human rights due diligence. This mechanism would force businesses to take action to prevent negative impacts of their activities on human rights and the environment. In 2020, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs adopted a new corporate accountability policy of which mandatory human rights due diligence at the EU level is part. Although not yet formalised in a policy, the fact that four Dutch political parties included the need for national mandatory human rights due diligence in their election programmes and called on the government to introduce legislation for International Responsible Business Conduct -after FGG (SKC/CCC, ActionAid, Milieudefensie and SOMO) provided them with inputs- is an important stepping stone towards mandatory human rights due diligence. Companies also improved policies on transparency and safeguards, conflict resolution mechanisms, and policies promoting social justice, decent work and sustainability. In total, 6 of such policies by companies were improved. ToC 2 9 mechanisms, policies and regulations were improved or introduced by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure policies related to trade and investment advance policy coherence for development in LLMICs. One international investment agreement that severely threatens the climate transition as well as the autonomy of LLMIC governments to adopt energy policies for the public good, is the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT). FGG (TNI, Both ENDS, SOMO, FoEE, with partners from - among other countries - Uganda) actively advocated against the expansion of the ECT. In 2020, this resulted in the halting of the treaty expansion: the ECT was not expanded to countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia and has suffered a significant blow. These countries included LLMICs Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, Morocco, and the Philippines. Formal invitations to accede to the ECT have now been put on hold. We consider this a major campaign success. ToC3 Successful FGG lobby and advocacy contributed to 6 measures taken by national, regional and international government bodies to ensure financial, tax and spending policies advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs. Also for FGG’s work on tax, advocacy at national level in LLMICs goes hand in hand with advocacy in the Netherlands and at EU level. In 2020, the Ugandan Ministry of Finance, Planning & Economic Development launched the Domestic Revenue Mobilisation Strategy. This strategy will make it possible for the Ugandan government to mobilise the needed revenues for investments in (gender-responsive) public services and to reduce inequalities. Notably, at the launch of this strategy, the Tax Justice Alliance (of which ActionAid Uganda is part) was given credits for their contributions to the strategy and for their work on tax justice. Also in 2020, the Dutch government adopted a new Tax Treaty policy (Notitie Fiscaal Verdragsbeleid 2020) that contains UN model treaty clauses which are improvements for countries in the Global South. More specifically, this new policy should ensure that companies can no longer avoid paying taxes in LLMICs by channeling financial flows through the Netherlands. FGG (ActionAid, with support from ActionAid offices in LLMICs) fed this process through research and advocacy, and provided guidance to political parties submitting parliamentary questions about this matter. Furthermore, 6 policies were improved or introduced by public financial institutions and private actors on accountability, transparency and safeguards, and investment policies adopted that advance socially just and sustainable development in LLMICs.

Actual comment
In 2017, FGG contributed to CSOs creating space for CSO demands and positions through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or creating space to engage 228 times. To begin with, 13 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision making processes related to corporate conduct, including the right to resist developments. For example, in Zimbabwe, ActionAid and its partner organisation supported community groups to write a petition to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy to improve the government’s consultation mechanism. The communities requested the government to start organizing the consultations at community level to ensure that communities have access to this process. Resulting from the petition, the consultation mechanism has been improved by the government as the meetings are now held at local level throughout the country instead of organizing them merely in the capital city Harare. This opens up the space for communities to participate in these meetings. Another 13 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms were adopted or improved by governments and corporations via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. For example, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Dispute Settlement Facility (DSF) was revamped, as part of RSPO’s revised Integrated Grievances Mechanism – DSF Standard Operational procedures and guiding step-wise approach to guide disputant parties are in place and capacity building is rolled out for NGOs and companies. Both ENDS formulated a roadmap that has been applied in the DSF. Both ENDS is co-chair of DSF Advisory Group and liaises intensively with RSPO Secretariat coordinating the DSF and Complaints Panel. Within the working are of corporate conduct, FGG also contributed to agenda setting in the sense that 93 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct were discussed by private and public sector decision makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. An important example in this respect was the fact that the continued efforts by FoE Europe, FoE International, TNI, SOMO and others, to push for continued negotiation of a UN Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights were successful also in 2017. The UN Treaty has gone from an idea in the minds of civil society and a few states to a real negotiated international treaty. FoE Europe with advocacy in 2016 and 2017 contributed to progress made at the EU level, where several member states became much less negative on the UN Treaty (a.o. some parliamentary and ministerial support in the Netherlands), contributing to the EU's European External Action Service being more constructive during the 3rd session of the UN's Intergovernmental Working Group (IGWG) on Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises with respect to Human Rights, in October 2017 in Geneva. The EU has agreed on a mandate to engage in the UN Treaty meetings, though not yet on a mandate to negotiate on the content, and took part in the discussions on a text for a UN Treaty. In the October 2017 negotiations, elements for a treaty were presented by the IGWG chair, and discussed. This IGWG 'elements paper' includes many of the recommendations made by FoE Europe, FoE International, Southern FoE groups, SOMO and TNI. Within the work on trade and investment policies, FGG contributed to 4 mechanisms being put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision making processes related to trade and investment, including the right to resist developments, while 2 grievance mechanisms were adopted or improved by governments via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances related to trade and investment. For example, Milieudefensie, Both ENDS and SOMO participated in the Trade Policy Advisory Group (Breed Handelsberaad) to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which critically assesses the government's position on trade and investment policy. Advocacy by SOMO, TNI, Both ENDS and Milieudefensie, together with Greenpeace, Ondernemers van Nu and Transparency International Nederland, regarding lack of transparency around the revision of the Dutch model bilateral investment treaty (BIT) contributed to a resolution by the Dutch parliament urging publication of the new model BIT, and the promise of the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation to share this model with parliament. The Minister already announced some improvements to the proposed model BIT, including exclusion of letterbox companies, inclusion of certain obligations for investors, and stricter rules on arbitrators. In May Milieudefensie had further contributed to public awareness on the topic of investment protection (via letterbox companies in the Netherlands) by exposing in a campaign five cases of environmental and social problems in which transnational extractive industry corporations used ISDS in Dutch and other BITs against governments in the Global South: Nigeria, Uganda, Indonesia, Ecuador and Colombia. FGG and partners also ensured that 40 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policy makers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, in 2016 the European Commission announced plans to establish a Multilateral Investment Court as an alternative to the infamous ISDS dispute settlement system between foreign investors and states. FGG members participated in several consultations with EU commission and the Dutch Government on this in spring of 2017. Since the proposal had received little public scrutiny Friends of the Earth Europe, CEO, TNI, SOMO , Both ENDS and Ecologistas in action, organized in Brussels on 22 September a public event with international experts to discuss the proposal and examine alternative approaches. In the area of tax and financial systems, FGG contributed to 19 mechanisms being put in place or improved by governments and/or financial institutions and developments banks that guarantee access for civil society to (democratic) decision-making processes related to finance, tax and spending, including the right to resist developments. For example, the African Development Bank (AfdB) decided to organise a CSO Forum around its annual meeting in 2018 which illustrates their stronger engagement with CSOs and on the Sendou case, and which was the result of continuous efforts of Both ENDS, SOMO and the FGG partners in the CSO network around IFIs in Senegal. Meanwhile, 2 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms were adopted or improved by corporations and/or financial institutions and development banks via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments, financial institutions and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. In Zambia, ActionAid and its partner organisation had been advocating for the establishment of a platform where the local government, the mining company and ActionAid's partner could be holding interface meetings to discuss and share information on tax. As a result the mining company have set up this platform in 2017 in which information on tax and CSR is being shared and discussed. Finally, FGG and partners ensured that 42 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies were discussed by private and public policy makers, and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, the Indonesian Supreme Court ordered termination of water privatisation and restoration of public management to ensure human rights in water provision. The TNI partner has supported the citizen lawsuit filed by the coalition against water privatisation. TNI has supported this partner in the last 8 years through research, expertise, media engagement, and financial support.

In 2018, the FGG Alliance will ensure that 46 mechanisms are put in place or improved by governments (and/or financial institutions and development banks) that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to corporate conduct and/or trade and investment and/or finance, tax, and spending, including the right to resist developments (A.a), and/or effective legal and other grievance mechanisms are adopted or improved by governments, corporations, and/or financial institutions and development banks, via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments, companies and financial institutions, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights (A.b). In addition, the FGG Alliance will contribute to 123 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct and/or policies related to trade and investment and/or financial, tax and spending policies discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private and public sector decision makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements.

Contributing to the ability of CSOs to create space for CSO demands and positions is key to the FGG programme. FGG monitors at outcome level (concrete social change) rather than output level (the activity level, e.g. ‘number of workshops held’). In this way, the numbers show what FGG aims through its programme: actual changes on the ground and in peoples' lives. So, for this specific DD indicator, FGG does not count the number of times CSOs ‘create space to engage’ (which could in principle include ‘one-off’ instances), but measures how many mechanisms were (structurally) adopted by governments or corporates to allow CSOs and citizens to engage, as a result of such efforts. In other words, what FGG’s monitoring and evaluation system counts as results are in FGG’s view the more structural and sustainable outcomes. In 2018, in 302 different cases, FGG set the agenda, influenced the debate, and created space to engage for CSOs. ToC1 FGG lobbied successfully in 2018 for 12 mechanisms improved or put in place by governments, which guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to corporate conduct, including the right to resist developments. In addition, FGG’s lobbying and advocacy contributed to 7 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms being adopted or improved by governments and corporations via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. For example, one Zambian partner organisation of FGG member ActionAid engaged (together with three of its local partners) with three mining companies on women’s economic and social empowerment to formalise engagement of women’s movements. This resulted in one mining company b putting in place a mechanism to respond to community concerns, aspirations and values to ensure that basic needs are supported. They also made it a company policy to continuously engage with communities, and share information through the Community Advisory Committee, where women movements representatives are now also included. In terms of setting the agenda, 147 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct were discussed by private and public sector decision-makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, FGG members CCC and SOMO have, together with activists, unionists and workers from various LLMICs, including Bangladesh and Myanmar, advocated for improved supply chain transparency in the garment sector, and created several campaigning and capacity development activities to convince brands that disclosing information about their supply chains is eventually in their own interest. CCC continued participation in the OECD advisory group and in the OECD forum on due diligence in the garment and footwear sector, and CCC co-organised sessions on transparency. As a result of CCC’s active participation in these forums, transparency is higher on the political agenda of the OECD, which was illustrated by OECD officials speaking out on the need for improved transparency. ToC 2 9 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to trade and investment, including the right to resist developments. For example, related to their development of a model text for Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), the Dutch government decided to hold a public consultation of the draft text in May and June 2018. The final version of the text, presented to the Dutch Parliament in October 2018, demonstrated that the government had actually used inputs of FGG members Both ENDS, Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI, and Dutch citizens. FGG members’ inputs were based on FGG’s partner organisations’ recommendations and geared towards a more just balance between the rights and duties of foreign investors and states, and therewith to safeguard investors’ respect for human rights and the environment. Notably, these FGG inputs were just one of the many advocacy initiatives undertaken by FGG members and their over the past years: Both ENDS, Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI have been advocating for improvements in these BITs, and for transparency of the new model BIT text process for years. In total, 64 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policymakers, in academia, media and social movements and by the wider public. For example, FoEI and TNI, together with Asian partner organisations, analysed the secrecy around the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) negotiations in which Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, among others, participate; and developed a detailed set of recommendations on how to democratise this process to improve transparency and public participation. ToC 3 Partly as a result of the FGG programme in 2018, 6 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments and/or financial institutions and developments banks that guarantee access for civil society to (democratic) decision-making processes related to finance, tax and spending, including the right to resist developments. For example, in response to the request of Filipino partner organisations and FGG member Both ENDS, Deltares and a Filipino CSO representative have met in 2018 to discuss the Manila Bay Masterplanning process. Deltares has started to regularly invite (critical) CSOs to consultation meetings. Next to these results, 2 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms were adopted or improved by corporations and/or financial institutions and development banks via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments, financial institutions and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. Furthermore, FGG’s lobbying and advocacy efforts contributed to 55 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies being discussed by private and public policymakers, and/or in academia, media and social movements, and by the general public. For example, ActionAid Uganda and one partner organisation SEATINI conducted an analysis of Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs), resulting in a matrix of issues on the DTA between Uganda and The Netherlands. In 2018, they shared this matrix with a range of government actors, including Members of Parliament under the Committee on Finance, Planning and Economic Development, several officials from the Tax Policy Department of the Ministry of Finance, and representatives from the Uganda Revenue Authority. Out of the ten issues raised in the matrix, four were eventually included by the Ministry of Finance in their proposals for the renegotiation of the DTA between Uganda and The Netherlands.

Contributing to the ability of CSOs to create space for CSO demands and positions is key to the FGG programme. In 2019, we expect to set the agenda, influence the debate, and create space to engage for CSOs in 247 instances. This takes different forms: we aim for 10 mechanisms to be put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision making processes related to corporate conduct, including the right to resist developments. One of the mechanisms that FGG member Friends of the Earth Europe will actively advocate for, is an improved EU Transparency Register that will give CSOs and citizens -including civil society from LLMICs- more power to scrutinise EU decision-making and hold decision-makers accountable. In addition, we plan for another 18 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms to be adopted or improved by governments and corporations via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. One such mechanism to be improved is the auditing and remedy process of the Fair Wear Foundation, which is expected to be adapted after dialogue with and critique from FGG member Clean Clothes Campaign on a number of concrete cases. We also aim to set the agenda of private and public sector decision makers and/or in academia, among the general public, the media and social movements, more specifically through 89 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct. In 2019, the European Coalition for Corporate Justice -with financial and possibly technical support from FGG member SOMO- will lobby for the installation of an EU policy officer or department responsible for business and human rights issues. We aim to get this on the agenda of the European Parliament and European Commission in the run up to and after the European Parliament elections held in May 2019. Having such a policy officer or department in place could ensure that victims and organisations from LLMICs can better address business-related human rights abuses at European level. In our work on trade and investment policies, we aim to contribute to the establishment or improvement of 7 mechanisms by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision making processes related to trade and investment, including the right to resist developments. In this regard, one of our aims for 2019 is that state agencies in Kenya will adopt components of the charter of demands on women’s land, property and natural resources rights. This would ensure the engagement and decision-making power of civil society in future land investments. To convince state agencies of the need to adopt and implement this charter of demands, FGG partner ActionAid Kenya brings together CSOs and women’s groups to mutually strengthen capacities, gather evidence and use this evidence in their lobby and advocacy towards government bodies for a binding framework and the implementation of procedures to protect women’s land rights. In 2019, the FGG Alliance will also be working towards ensuring that 79 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment will be discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policy makers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, FGG members Transnational Institute and Friends of the Earth International will mutually develop capacities with CSOs in the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, India and the EU to develop proposals on the different flaws of the Investor State Dispute Settlement, Investment Court System and Multilateral Investment Court, and to improve advocacy skills in order to get these proposals on the agenda of a multitude of parliamentarians and policy-makers in these countries. Under the umbrella of our third ToC, on tax and financial systems, the FGG Alliance aims to contribute to 9 mechanisms to be put in place or improved by governments and/or financial institutions and developments banks that guarantee access for civil society to (democratic) decision-making processes related to finance, tax and spending, including the right to resist developments. This work will be combined with efforts to ensure that 3 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms will be adopted or improved by corporations and/or financial institutions and development banks via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments, financial institutions and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. For example, we aim for three mining companies establishing grievance handling structures through engagements with FGG partner ActionAid Zambia and its partner organisations. ActionAid Zambia and partner organisations will advocate at national and local level for public disclosure of all Development Agreements (DAs), emphasise any clauses of the DAs that are still applicable (working with government and mining companies) and lobby for review of clauses that are no longer applicable to the current development context. We expect this to iron out grievance issues pertaining to mistrust and transparency and to enable communities to claim their environmental and human rights through the established structures. In addition, FGG members and partner organisations aim to ensure that 32 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies will be discussed by private and public policy makers, and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. One of these spending policies that we aim to address and put on the political agenda of the European Commission and European Parliament, is the policy of European subsidies for fossil fuels. Together with and based on the demands of partner organisations and their constituency, Friends of the Earth Europe’s campaign on the negative impacts of oil and gas, demonstrates how the continued use of oil and gas contributes to climate change and undermines the Paris Climate agreement. This is expected to convince European policy-makers to put this matter higher on their agenda. [For more information about these plans/targets, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid Netherlands, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth International/Friends of the Earth Europe, SOMO and the Transnational Institute), targets FGG ToC 1-3 A (indicators a and b) & D 2019.]

DD3 (A&D): # times CSOs created space for CSO demands and positions through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or creating space to engage Contributing to the ability of CSOs to create space for CSO demands and positions is key to the FGG programme. For this DD indicator, FGG measures how many mechanisms were (structurally) adopted by governments or corporates to allow CSOs and citizens to engage, as a result of such efforts, and how many times agendas of decision-makers were actually set to e.g. address these mechanisms. In 2019, in 527 different cases, FGG set the agenda, influenced the debate, and created space to engage for CSOs. The numbers show what FGG aims through its programme: actual changes on the ground and in peoples' lives. ToC1 FGG lobbied successfully in 2019 for 12 mechanisms improved or put in place by governments, which guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to corporate conduct, including the right to resist developments. In addition, FGG’s lobbying and advocacy contributed to 11 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms being adopted or improved by governments and corporations via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. For example, ActionAid Zambia (AAZ) and its partner organized three meetings with a mining company on environmental management and grievance handling mechanisms. Through the engagement of AAZ and its partners, mostly CBOs, the mining company has strengthened the mandate of its community advisory committee that handles grievance mechanisms, to ensure that women and their communities are regularly engaged. The mining company has also allocated a specific office to deal with complaints and grievances from local communities, to ensure that AAZ’s partner and the women are engaged on a regular basis, with a deliberate agenda on matters as human rights and other issues affecting the local communities. In terms of setting the agenda, 313 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct were discussed by private and public sector decision-makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, SOMO, together with GoodElectronics, and the Business, Human Rights and Environment Research Group (BHRE) of the University of Greenwich, has boosted the discussion on supply chain transparency in the electronics industry. The rights of workers in the global electronics industry are too often violated. Harmful working conditions and poverty wages result in poor livelihoods, injuries and sometimes even death. These human rights violations can continue because most companies are refusing to increase transparency about their supply chains. Companies so far approach disclosure as voluntary, while in the SOMO/GE/BHRE “Right to know” report, the workers’ right to know or the right to access to information is the point of departure. Workers as rightsholders are entitled to all information that affects their lives and livelihoods. Companies, as well as states, have the duty to properly disclose such information. SOMO, GoodElectronics and the BHRE research group wrote a report based on consultations with a large number of organisations and experts, including workers from LLMICs such as Indonesia, and presented the executive summary at a forum attended by representatives of public buyers, the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), electronics companies, workers’ organisations and civil society. The report will be used to stir up dialogue on the workers’ right to access information on the supply chain they are part of. The report offers strong arguments to make the case for mandatory transparency. ToC 2 5 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to trade and investment, including the right to resist developments. Furthermore, 77 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policymakers, in academia, media and social movements and by the wider public. For example, ActionAid Cambodia and partners organized a training for representatives of nine fishery communities. This training was about the Importance of Mangrove Forest and the possibilities for influencing corporate and government actors to do no harm, or protect these forests. By overfishing, many (international) corporate actors disrupt the local and national fish-chain. Negative impacts are for example decreasing fish stocks in both short and long term. The training was also attended by several government officials (Fishery Administrative Offices and Commune Councils, Department of Tourism, and Department of Environment). Together they discussed elements of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), corporate social responsibility (CSR), Land Tenure, and Land Dispute Resolution and Access to Remedy, which can be used as instruments in fighting for their rights. As a result, community representatives have increased access to these government officials and are better able to advance their views in consultations meetings at the provincial level. ToC 3 Partly as a result of the FGG programme in 2019, 12 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments and/or financial institutions and developments banks that guarantee access for civil society to (democratic) decision-making processes related to finance, tax and spending, including the right to resist developments. For example, in 2019, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) adopted procedures for its new independent accountability mechanism, the Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM). Whenever people and communities are harmed by GCF-financed projects around the world, they can file a complaint through and seek redress through the IRM. The improvements in the IRM are in line with comments that SOMO provided on the draft procedures; and on recommendations that SOMO wrote on the basis of partners’ experiences with GCF financed projects. Both ENDS, as part of the CSO active observer team of the Green Climate Fund, provided comments and inputs in formal and informal calls for inputs and during direct conversations with the relevant policy holders. Furthermore, FGG’s lobbying and advocacy efforts contributed to 97 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies being discussed by private and public policymakers, and/or in academia, media and social movements, and by the general public. For example, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation was supportive in making a case that the Nigerian Government has failed to carry its obligation on water for the Nigerian people. TNI coordinated with affected communities and their organisations, from Mexico, Indonesia and Nigeria, the reporting of negative impacts of water privatisation. This was used in their final report on private sector participation in the water sector in the view of human rights. TNI and partners shared their report with the Rapporteur and connected the Rapporteur with the impacted communities, providing him with first-hand evidence of human rights violations.

DD3 (A&D): # times CSOs created space for CSO demands and positions through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or creating space to engage This DD3 indicator is linked to FGG outcome ‘’A’’ (enabling environment) and outcome ‘’D” (agenda setting). Contributing to an enabling environment and to the ability of CSOs to create space for civil society demands and positions is key to the FGG programme. FGG monitors at outcome level (social change) rather than output level (the activity level). In this way, the numbers show actual changes on the ground and in peoples' lives. So, for this specific DD indicator, FGG does not count the number of times CSOs ‘create space to engage’ (which could in principle include ‘one-off’ instances), but measures how many mechanisms were (structurally) adopted by governments or companies to allow civil society to engage. In other words, FGG considers its monitoring and evaluation system more structural and sustainable outcomes. Outcome ‘’D’’ (agenda setting) aims for decision makers prioritising inclusive and sustainable policy measures due to support from influential civil society actors, critical media attention, increased public awareness and effective scrutiny of corporate conduct, trade and investment policies and financial and tax policies. In 2020, in 239 different cases, FGG will set the agenda, influence the debate, and created space to engage for CSOs. ToC1 FGG will advocate in 2020 for 10 mechanisms being improved or put in place by governments, which guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to corporate conduct, including the right to resist imposed development. In addition, FGG’s advocacy will contribute to 16 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms being adopted or improved by governments and corporations via which communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies, and claim their environmental, human and workers’ rights. For example, it is expected that the government of Indonesia will put 1 mechanism in place that provides recognition of customary land rights of local communities and indigenous peoples and their tenure security. This is the result of advocacy, community capacity development and empowerment activities by local civil society organisations of FGG partner organisations in Indonesia, with strategic and financial support of FGG member Both ENDS. In terms of setting the agenda, FGG aims to have 120 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct to be discussed by private and public sector decision-makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, through FGG member CCC’s and their partner organisations’s advocacy, it is expected that the proposal for a Living Wage Enforceable Brand Agreement will be discussed and covered by major media and will contribute to an increased international acknowledgment of living wage as a human right. It is also expected that this proposal will be accepted and promoted by the broader NGO community, which will result in the endorsement of renowned NGOs working in related fields, the coverage of mainstream media and therefore a reaction on this proposal by major brands. ToC 2 The FGG Alliance anticipates that 7 mechanisms will be put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to trade and investment, including the right to resist imposed development. Furthermore, it is expected that 1 effective legal and other grievance mechanism will be adopted or improved by governments via which communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies related to trade and investment and claim their environmental, human and workers’ rights. For example, ActionAid Kenya and several partner organisations in Kenya will work to expand linkages and dialogue between investment companies, communities and civil society organisations through different forums that share information and best practices regarding ‘Human Rights Gap’. Human Rights Gap is the gap between official policy commitments on human rights and the actual implementation in practice. An example is the National Forum on Oil, Gas and Mining, a platform of CSOs that highlights best practices and gives a voice to communities. Therefore, the local CSOs will be supported to advocate for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms to resolve community – corporate disputes. As a result, FGG anticipates that companies will adhere to this ADR in resolving disputes with aggrieved communities. This is one of the many advocacy initiatives undertaken by FGG members and their partner organisations over the past years: ActionAid, Both ENDS, CCC, Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI have been advocating for improvements of EU trade and investment treaties that guarantee access for civil society for democratic decision-making for years. In total, it is expected that 34 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment will be discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private decision-makers, in academia, media and social movements and by the wider public. For example, climate justice movements in Europe and Latin America will campaign against ISDS in general and Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) in particular and will propose to their governments to withdraw from the ECT or refrain from joining it, based on an understanding of how ISDS/ECT undermines the fight for climate justice and energy transition. FGG member TNI will contribute to this result by providing analysis and capacity development trainings and dedicated material that will explain the impact of ISDS/ECT on the energy transition. ToC 3 Within the target setting for the FGG programme in 2020, it is expected that 2 mechanisms will be put in place or improved by governments and/or financial institutions and developments banks that guarantee access for civil society to (democratic) decision-making processes related to finance, tax and spending, including the right to resist imposed development. For example, 4 Rural District Councils in Zimbabwe will scale up the Community Forums on Tax Justice and Delivery that were set up in 2018, and they will strengthen the capacities of Forum members through trainings on for example budget tracking. Through these Forums, communities and community groups gain access to decision-making processes related to tax collection and management, as they will be able to discuss these topics with local government officials on a regular basis. This will be the result of FGG member ActionAid Zimbabwe and its Zimbabwean partner organisation’s advocacy activities. Also, the FGG Alliance works towards 4 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms adopted or improved by corporations and/or financial institutions and development banks via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments, financial institutions and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. Furthermore, through advocacy FGG aims to contribute to 45 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies that will be discussed by private and public policymakers, and/or in academia, media and social movements, and by the general public. For example, it is expected that 2 research briefings of FGG member SOMO that analyse the impacts on LLMICs of Dutch and international policy proposals to combat tax avoidance, will be discussed in Parliament and the media. This will contribute to the agenda setting on this issue. Another expected result is the increased support within the Dutch government and other actors such as Export Credit Agencies (ECAs), for an abolition of subsidies for the fossil fuel industry in relation to SDG13 on climate action, SDG 15 on ecosystems and SDG7 on clean energy (such as direct subsidies, tax exemptions, public finance, government purchases, export credit insurances etc.). With this increased support it is aimed to achieve policy coherence for development and redirection of public investment towards renewables and just transitions for workers and poorer communities. This will be the result e.g. of advocacy of FGG member Milieudefensie and its partner organisations from LLMICs united in FoE International's Climate Justice and Energy Programme. Also advocacy initiatives of FGG member Both ENDS partner organisations from Uganda, Togo, Kenia and Nigeria will carried out through the development and sharing of proposals to support Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) in developing transition policies, for example related to energy.

DD3 (A&D): # times CSOs created space for CSO demands and positions through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or creating space to engage Contributing to the ability of CSOs to create space for CSO demands and positions is key to the FGG programme. For this DD indicator, FGG measures how many mechanisms were (structurally) adopted by governments or corporates to allow CSOs and citizens to engage, as a result of such efforts, and how many times agendas of decision-makers were actually set to e.g. address these mechanisms. In 2020, in 413 different cases, FGG set the agenda, influenced the debate, and created space to engage for CSOs. ToC1 FGG lobbied successfully in 2020 for 10 mechanisms improved or put in place by governments, which guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to corporate conduct, including the right to resist developments. In addition, FGG’s lobbying and advocacy contributed to 8 effective legal and other grievance mechanisms being adopted or improved by governments and corporations via which CSOs and communities can resolve grievances with governments and companies, and claim their environmental, human and worker rights. In parallel to advocacy initiatives on a variety of specific cases of corporate misconduct, FGG (ActionAid, CCC, Milieudefensie, FoEI, FoEE, SOMO, TNI, with partners from all continents) has long been advocating for a UN Binding Treaty on Transnational Corporations and Human Rights. This treaty should provide a legal instrument to regulate transnational corporations and defend human rights. In the past years, support among governments and civil society organisations for this treaty has grown enormously, and the draft treaty text is in its second stage of revision. FGG played a vital role in founding and/or building movements and coalitions around the globe to advocate for a strong treaty that is underpinned by an intersectional-feminist perspective. In 2020, after FGG advocacy for transparency, the UN working group for this treaty, the Open-Ended Inter-Governmental Working Group (OEIGWG), agreed that texts being forwarded by governments and civil society will be circulated to all states and not only to the Chair. This is an important gain for transparency of the negotiations going forward. Notably, in 2020, despite opposition from business actors and influential states (incl. China, Brazil and Russia), the negotiations for a UN Binding treaty moved forward and entered into a new phase: negotiations over text proposals. The international coalition Feminists for a Binding Treaty, of which ActionAid is a member, continued advocacy efforts to make sure that the gender dimension was integrated in the second revised draft and efforts are now focused on ensuring these provisions are kept and further developed in the text. In terms of setting the agenda, 256 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct were discussed by private and public sector decision-makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. One such proposal concerns the recommendations of ActionAid Zambia and partners to assure that relocation around mining projects receives adequate attention, and that the Zambian Mines and Minerals Act will be reviewed in a gender-responsive way. ActionAid Zambia discussed their proposals with government representatives on International Women’s Day, and through a platform that was established between CSOs and the Ministry of Mines. As a result, the Ministry of Mines commenced the process to review the Mines and Minerals Act of 2015 to take into consideration the gaps identified by CSOs and host mining communities; and the government, traditional leaders and mining companies committed to a number of follow-up steps to improve corporate accountability in the mining sector. ToC 2 7 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments that guarantee access for civil society to democratic decision-making processes related to trade and investment, including the right to resist developments. An example of such a mechanism, put in place in 2020 upon FGG (ActionAid Kenya) advocacy, is a multi-stakeholder platform which the Kenyan government initiated in Kitui. Together with a group of political, religious and cultural leaders, ActionAid Kenya’s partner CHRCE, as member of this platform, will actively monitor women’s land rights violations. The platform will closely work together with the land committee at the County Assembly on addressing women land rights. Furthermore, 60 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policymakers, in academia, media and social movements and by the wider public. As a sustainable and just alternative to large scale industrial agriculture, FGG (ActionAid, Both ENDS, FoEI, TNI and their partners) has been advocating for agroecology. The efforts of FoEI and partners to promote agroecology has in 2020 resulted in a municipality in a Central American LLMIC officially declaring itself free of pesticides. The creation of a public policy of rejection of pesticides is a sign that agroecology is gaining ground in the country. This was also demonstrated with the creation of a law for the promotion of urban and peri-urban agroecological family gardens, which was presented to the legislative assembly by a CSO network partly financially supported through FGG. This agroecological gardens law is now waiting to be approved by the Legislative Assembly. Noteworthy is the fact agroecology has been kept high on the FAO’s agenda. The FAO civil society consultation in Latin America and Caribbean, with FGG (FoEI) input, led to a final declaration urging governments to implement public policies for agroecology in partnership with social movements; denouncing the attempts of corporate capture of agroecology; and proposing how the FAO should support the implementation of the civil society vision on agroecology. Also in the Netherlands, in 2020 policymakers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality have responded positively to FGG (ActionAid, Both ENDS) recommendations on how Dutch policies can be more supportive of agroecology, and of CSOs in the Global South implementing agroecology on the ground in particular. ToC 3 Partly as a result of the FGG programme in 2020, 3 mechanisms were put in place or improved by governments and/or financial institutions and developments banks that guarantee access for civil society to (democratic) decision-making processes related to finance, tax and spending, including the right to resist developments. The FGG Alliance advocates towards several international financial institutions and development finance institutions, with the aim of ensuring that their investments serve people and the planet. One of the institutions targeted by FGG (Both ENDS with partners from Cameroon and other African countries) is the African Development Bank (AfDB). As a result of inputs from these partners into the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM) review, the draft review already includes several CSO recommendations, e.g.: - The mechanism allows complaints from individuals, removing restrictions on non-local representatives, including a more favorable timeline for filing complaints. - A restructuring of the mechanism so that its functions are carried out by permanent staff. Furthermore, FGG’s lobbying and advocacy efforts contributed to 66 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies being discussed by private and public policymakers, and/or in academia, media and social movements, and by the general public. Together with and in support of Zambian partners, FGG (Both ENDS) has been able to put forward, discuss and agree upon several proposals with the Zambian National Designated Authority for the Green Climate Fund. These proposals touch upon how CSOs should be consulted in Readiness Support and policy formulation, on which agreements with the NDA were made and a clearer role of Gender and Gender Inclusiveness in climate finance decision-making in Zambia; and on community consultation and inclusiveness, which will be prioritized in project design, implementation and evaluation.

Actual comment
In 2017, FGG contributed to 219 advocacy initiatives being carried out by CSOs, for, by or with their membership/constituency. FGG recognises two phases in this: first, the development by civil society organisations of viable alternatives; and second, agenda setting on existing problems and presenting these alternatives as possible steps in direction of solutions. In the area of corporate conduct, the FGG Alliance and its partners in 2017 developed, piloted and/or promoted 21 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct. For example, in Cambodia, ActionAid was one of the organizations to set up a CSR platform to develop an alternative mechanism to improve engagement between public and private sector and civil society (organizations). In 2017 this platform has become most active. It promotes corporate social responsibility, VGGT, UN guidelines, including more sustainable corporate conduct and participation of communities. The CSR Platform encompasses 17 private companies, 3 Chambers of Commerce and 7 CSO members, and has a three pronged strategy such as: capacity building, advocacy and regulatory reform. The Goals of the CSR platform are to mainstream and materialize CSR guidelines, tools and principles in Cambodia, CSOs and government institutions to start adopting and implementing CSR guidelines, tools and principles. FGG also contributed to agenda setting in the sense that 93 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct were discussed by private and public sector decision makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. An important example of this was the Transparency Pledge: a public campaign together with a coalition (CCC, HRW, ICAR, ILRF, WRC, Maquila Solidarity Network, IndustriAll, ITUC, UNI Global Union), targeting 70+ brands to publish their supply chain. 70.000 signatures were gathered. Several brands started making the data available due to the campaign. As a result Hugo Boss started to publish its production sites and Primark would start publishing its production sites in February 2018. In the area of trade and investment, FGG developed, piloted and/or promoted 10 alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime with CSOs in LLMICs. For example, FoEI worked with member groups across all regions (including CSOs in Mozambique, Indonesia and Philippines) to develop a joint proposal to transform the economy. This set of demands is: public services for all through tax justice, grow the cooperative and solidarity economy, support fair trade and local markets, creating economies of purpose not profit and enacting binding rules for big business. The proposal was presented in an 18-page report called ‘Transforming Our Economy: Scaling up the Solutions’ in 4 languages (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese; designed version launched 2018 but in use in 2017). This framework of FoEI’s economic transformation vision is based on local and national examples and 25 ideas of how to scale up solutions. The report has been used with allies at social movement events, including at the Continental Convergence for Democracy and Against Neoliberalism (Montevideo, Nov. 16-18), a massive gathering of social movements in Latin America, also supported by FoEI financially and with coordination staff and Real World Radio coverage. FoEI also produced 10 social media info-graphics on solutions and local case studies and produced one two-minute video highlighting one element of the proposal (cooperativism), which had over 250,000 views. FGG and partners also ensured that 40 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policy makers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, TNI hosted several seminars and workshops in 2017 in Latin America (Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay) to put the ISDS issue back on the agenda of social movements and CSOs in the region. The activities opened up new constituencies interested in the issue among CSOs and trade unions and statements on for example the EU-Mexico agreement got wide CSOs sign-ons. The issue is clearly getting more attention again among CSOs in the region. In 2017, FGG, together with CSOs in LLMICs, developed, piloted, and promoted 13 alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies. For example, SOMO contributed to the development and presentation of alternative demands in four different areas of financial policy such as 1: financial architecture, 2: debt, 3: socially and environmentally sustainable finance, as well as 4: tax, anti-money laundering, corruption. Twenty-four NGOs of which 8 Southern NGOs (of which five from LLMICs) contributed directly in a governmental meeting, as well as indirectly at a meeting co-organized by SOMO. Statements were presented to change the financial system. The alternatives from civil society based on the C20 Finance working group were presented to the G20 Ministers of Finance through the created official channels between the C20 and G20. The decisions of the G20 on finance have an important effect on LLMICs although goverments of LLMICs have no place at the G20. Finally, FGG and partners ensured that 42 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies were discussed by private and public policy makers, and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, TNI's research on remunicipalisation to prove the failure of privatisation in public services has become a reference point for progressive municipalist, labour and trade movements to develop alternative economic strategies. For example, the head of the energy cities alliance started using the term Energy Democracy in their reports and strategies. Other organisations are Our water, our Right campaign in Lagos, and the Coalition of Jakarta Residents Opposing Water Privatization (KMMSAJ), Indonesia.

In 2018, the FGG Alliance will contribute to 123 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct and/or policies related to trade and investment and/or financial, tax and spending policies discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private and public sector decision makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. In addition, the FGG Alliance will ensure that 41 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct meeting core criteria including sustainability, participation (m/f), transparency and equity (m/f), have been developed, piloted and/or promoted; and/or alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime developed with CSOs in LLMICs; and/or alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies developed, piloted, and promoted with CSOs in LLMICs.
Actual comment
In 2018, 310 advocacy initiatives were carried out by CSOs, for, by, or with their membership/constituency. The FGG Alliance links indicator DD4 to the number of alternatives developed and agendas set within the FGG programme over the course of 2018. FGG monitors at outcome level (concrete social change) rather than output level (the activity level, e.g. ‘number of workshops held’). In this way, the numbers show what FGG aims for through its programme: actual changes on the ground and in peoples' lives. So, for this specific DD indicator, FGG prefers to measure how many alternative models to promote social justice were developed and how many times agendas of decision-makers were actually set to e.g. address these alternatives. In other words, what the FGG monitoring and evaluation system counts as results are in FGG’s view the more structural and sustainable outcomes. ToC1 The FGG Alliance lobbied successfully for 19 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct meeting core criteria including sustainability, participation (m/f), transparency and equity (m/f), being developed, piloted and/or promoted. The proposal for a UN Binding Treaty on Transnational Corporations and Human Rights is an alternative UN instrument advocated for by FGG members ActionAid, CCC, Milieudefensie, FoEI, FoEE, SOMO and TNI, and the more than 200 members of the Global Campaign that TNI facilitates. The proposal includes specific articles on sustainable and equitable development as well as measures to ensure access to justice for communities affected by the impunity of corporations whose operations violate their human rights. In 2018, the FGG Alliance, jointly with the Global Campaign, welcomed the Zero Draft as a significant step towards achieving an alternative instrument for corporate accountability but made its critique and indicated where the Zero Draft needed stronger measures on the regulation of TNCs. FGG partners and members gave concrete suggestions for improvements. For example, FGG partner organisation FoE Africa published in October 2018 a proposal for a jurisdictional mechanism as part of the UN Treaty with the aim of better protecting the rights of communities and populations who fall victim to rights violations by transnational corporations: 'A tribunal to live' (and they presented it at the 4th IGWG negotiation round in Geneva). Another example is FGG member ActionAid which, as part of the Feminist for a Binding Treaty coalition, calls specifically for the inclusion of measures to promote gender justice and to pay attention to gender-specific and identity-based risks. The Zero Draft process will now continue towards the development and negotiation of a First Draft Treaty text to be presented in October 2019. FGG also influenced the agenda of private and public sector decision-makers, academia, the general public, media and social media: these actors discussed 147 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct. ToC2 11 alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime were developed, piloted and/or promoted with CSOs in LLMICs. For example, FGG members ActionAid, Both ENDS, FoEI and TNI, together with partner organisations around the world, actively promote agroecology as an alternative to large-scale agriculture. Agroecology helps to increase food security and resilience, boost livelihoods and local economies, diversify food production and diets, promote health and nutrition, safeguard natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystem functions, improve soil fertility and soil health, adapt to and mitigate climate change, contribute to women’s empowerment, and preserve local cultures and traditional knowledge systems. FGG’s work around agroecology in 2018 contributed to the UN High Level Panel of Experts of the Committee on Food Security making substantial changes to five areas of the Zero draft on agroecology, following five substantive comments made by civil society. The civil society input was organised by the drafting team of the working group on agroecology of the Civil Society Mechanism of the UN Committee on World Food Security, which is facilitated by FoEI. Besides this, FGG’s work on agroecology took the shape of a pilot project on agroecology in urban agriculture in San Salvador, set up by a CSO in El Salvador, with financial and planning support from FoEI. In addition, this CSO developed a curriculum for trainings, which were subsequently implemented by almost 30 CSO actors. FGG and partner organisations in addition ensured that 64 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policy makers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. ToC 3 14 alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies were developed, piloted, and promoted with CSOs in LLMICs, partly as a result of the FGG Alliance’s lobbying and advocacy efforts. For example, in the area of energy democracy, which provides a new framework in which communities, local governments and workers have ownership over the energy transition and developing a new energy model. Together with partner organisations, including transnational union movements, TNI further developed the Energy Democracy framework by researching strategies and lessons learned for democratic energy models at national and local levels, and at meetings to map energy democracy. In related work, FGG member FoEI supports partner organisations to ensure particular attention to (the role of) women and gender mainstreaming in energy policies, for example in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Influenced by the lobbying and advocacy of FGG members and partner organisations, private actors, public policymakers, academia, the general public, media and social movements discussed 55 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies.

Contributing to advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs is key to the FGG programme, also in 2019. The Alliance aims to contribute to 256 advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs, for, by or with their membership/constituency. This work is composed of two elements: on the one hand, FGG members and their partner organisations aim to develop viable alternatives to current policies and practices; and on the other, they aim to set agendas on existing problems and present their alternatives as a possible way forward. In 2019, in the area of corporate conduct, the FGG Alliance aims to develop, pilot and/or promote 33 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct. For instance, with FGG members Transnational Institute's, Friends of the Earth International’s and SOMO’s technical and facilitating support, the framework proposed for a UN Binding Treaty on transnational corporations and human rights in 2017 will be a basis for the Global Campaign on Corporate Impunity to engage in the OEIGWG on the Zero Draft for a Binding Treaty on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights. This framework incorporates proposals that address the architecture of impunity of International Financial Institutions, Free Trade Agreements, and Investor State Dispute Settlement and makes regulatory proposals for corporate operations. The proposal will be promoted and articulated with specific application to sectoral supply chains, indigenous peoples, women and rights of affected communities. Agenda setting is expected to be done with 89 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct, which are expected to be discussed by private and public sector decision makers and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For example, a research publication by the India Committee of the Netherlands and FGG member Clean Clothes Campaign’s Indian partner organisations on the harsh working and living conditions of (migrant) workers in the garment and textile industry in Tamil Nadu, is expected to result in an increased understanding of the topic among brands and retailers, business and multi-stakeholder initiatives. We aim for this increased understanding to eventually contribute to improved policies and actions taken by private and public sector decision makers. An example would be the inclusion of improved guidelines for migrant housing in companies’ Codes of Conduct. Regarding trade and investment policies, the FGG Alliance aims to develop, pilot and/or promote alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime with CSOs in LLMICs – notably 10 alternatives are foreseen. For example, in the area of climate investments, our partner organisations in LLMICs will cooperate with FGG member(s) and other CSOs in Friends of the Earth International's Climate Justice Programme, to develop and promote an alternative 1.5 degree pathway (as related to the Paris Climate Agreement) without bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) or geoengineering. When developing such joint alternatives with our partner organisations, our Mutual Capacity Development approach is fundamental. In the field of agenda setting, we aim for 79 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policy makers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. FGG members and partner organisations in LLMICs and in other countries e.g. plan to lobby and advocate decision makers intensively to put issues such as land grabbing and GMOs on the agenda. Simultaneously, they will present alternatives such as agro-ecology as a solution for food sovereignty. A concrete plan is to jointly advocate for a policy round table at CFS and to establish permanent structures within the UN, specifically within the FAO, to promote and strengthen agro-ecology to enhance food sovereignty. In 2019, the FGG Alliance will work towards the development, piloting and promotion of 13 alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies. One of these alternative proposals concerns the topic of Quantitative Easing (QE) and subordinated financialisation. By the end of 2019, in a conference organised by SOMO and several partner organisations in Latin America, a proposal on the topics of QE and subordinated financialisation will be piloted and promoted. The partner organisations will be trained on the topic as to strengthen their grip on policy-makers in their respective countries in Latin America, namely: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Bolivia. The aim is that this will result in a proposal concerning QE issues for improvement of financial policies. Following the work that we have done in the past years, we will continue to ensure that proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies will be discussed by private and public policy makers, and/or in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. The target in this area of our work for 2019 is set on 32 proposals. For example, one proposal for improvement relates to policies of the Zambian National Green Climate Fund. This proposal concerns the participation of CSOs and women groups in decision-making processes, human rights, environment, transparency and local access to Green Climate Fund related policies and projects. This result is expected to be achieved through joint strategic work by Both ENDS and Zambian CSOs, and exchanging information on national and international processes in order to mutually strengthen each other’s lobby and advocacy capacities for this purpose.

DD4 (C&D): # advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs, for, by or with their membership/constituency In 2019, 553 advocacy initiatives were carried out by CSOs, for, by, or with their membership/constituency. The numbers show what FGG aims for through its programme: actual changes on the ground and in peoples' lives. So, for this specific DD indicator, FGG measures how many alternative models to promote social justice were developed and how many times agendas of decision-makers were actually set to e.g. address these alternatives. In other words, what the FGG monitoring and evaluation system counts as results are in FGG’s view the more structural and sustainable outcomes. ToC1 The FGG Alliance successfully developed, piloted and/or promoted 31 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct meeting core criteria including sustainability, participation (f/m), transparency and equity (f/m). Together with partners and affected communities in many countries, including Guatemala, the Philippines, Nigeria and Gambia, TNI has been developing initiatives and models that strengthen people’s sovereignty and democracy from below. These initiatives touch upon a variety of issues, ranging from the environment and gender justice to new ways of organising public services. Together, they organized trainings and the application of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) principles, as well as capacity building in evaluating their actual and alternative livelihood prospects. Communities were enabled to have a meaningful, participatory engagement with governments and corporations (blocking the renewal of the Financial & Technical Agreement for Ashanti Gold in the Philippines) in resource policy governance or in Sustainability Impact Assessments (SIAs). In this way, participation from below strengthens a more community rights-based democratic policy making process at local/provincial and national level, instead of centrally organized issues and top-down implementation. In 2019, TNI launched a virtual ‘People’s Sovereignty Lab’ to enable the promotion and discussion of these initiatives. TNI also began work on preventing the privatisation or corporate capture of democratic institutions including in relation to the UN, at a workshop in 2019, from which a small group was established to further develop this work. FGG also influenced the agenda of private and public sector decision-makers, academia, the general public, media and social media: these actors discussed 313 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct. One example concerns the promise of C&A to implement so-called ‘hostel guidelines’ in their supply chain. These guidelines outline the conditions for accommodation of workers. CCC and its network member Arisa published on C&A’s promises in a 2018 report that was based on interviews with Indian garment factory workers. In 2019, Arisa monitored the implementation of this promise: according to the workers that they met again, no improvements in hostel conditions were realised. C&A again promised to share the almost finalised hostel guidelines soon. The workers, together with Arisa, have set C&A’s agenda and they are building a case in order to be able to submit a formal complaint with the AGT's complaint mechanism if concrete improvements will not follow soon. ToC2 20 alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime were developed, piloted and/or promoted with CSOs in LLMICs. A CSO from El Salvador developed and proposed a national law for the promotion of agroecology. With the financial and communications support of FoEI a communications strategy was created and two press conferences were organized. They received national media attention for their advocacy in favour of this alternative approach to unsustainable agribusiness and its negative impact on nature and people. The proposed law was presented to the Agriculture Commission of the Legislative Assembly on 22 October by 16 CSOs accompanied by a mobilization of 350 peasants. Also in The Netherlands the FGG Alliance advocated for agroecological practices through a joint lunch lecture with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality to explore the innovative role of agroecology in transforming food and agricultural systems. FGG and partner organisations in addition ensured that 77 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policy makers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. During the UNCITRAL April session, SOMO and FoEE advocated together with ClientEarth and Public Citizen towards multiple representatives of LLMICs, among others from Nigeria, Bolivia and Ecuador. They also organized a side event about the virtues and pitfalls of the EU proposal for a Multilateral Investment Court. This side event was participated by at least 40 people, among which the European Commission, academic experts, NGO representatives, and representatives of LLMIC governments. They have successfully advocated towards these participating (LLMIC) governments to touch in their discussions upon issues such as regulatory chill, investor obligations and counterclaims, and better alignment with overarching frameworks of SDGs and Paris climate agreement. Multinationals can use ISDS to undermine government regulations that are beneficial for people and planet but harm multinationals’ business. Settlements of these ISDS claims can e.g. result in major losses in tax revenues, which especially in LLMIC are highly needed for public services. ToC 3 15 alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies were developed, piloted, and promoted with CSOs in LLMICs, partly as a result of the FGG Alliance’s lobbying and advocacy efforts. For example, Bangladeshi organisation Uttaran, Youth Water (Pani) Committees and Both ENDS have been in continuous dialogue on gender and youth for the management of the Tidal Rivers in Bangladesh. The current conventional approach of dealing with the tidal rivers involves top-down technical and managerial solutions. Together with communities, Uttaran is advocating for a nature-based and inclusive approach. If communities can meaningfully contribute to the design, implementation, and monitoring of tidal river management, then measures would be responsive to the needs, realities and concerns of the people living in the area. By involving different generations, women, and men, different interests will be addressed and everybody could participate. Uttaran and the Pani Committees have already developed very clear ideas on how this could be implemented. Throughout 2019 they have discussed these ideas with relevant government authorities. Gender is made a strategic priority with the near-equal representation of young women and men in the youth water committees. The younger generation is less constrained by the traditional patriarchal norms and values, which allows for more gender-transformative conversations. In addition, they are well aware of the gender differentiated impacts of waterlogging. Hence, they have laid the groundwork for a gender-impacts analysis, which should inform decision-makers for the implementation of gender-responsive measures. Influenced by the lobbying and advocacy of partner organisations and FGG members, private actors, public policymakers, academia, the general public, media and social movements discussed 97 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies. In Zimbabwe, ActionAid and two partners have organized a Youth-Led Tax Justice Symposium. During the symposium, ActionAid and its partners discussed their proposals for better capacity strengthening for youth on tax justice issues with local government representatives. ActionAid Zimbabwe also organised related national radio station discussions from the Youth-Led Tax Justice Campaign, to inform the general public. This resulted in broad media attention for tax justice.

DD4 (C&D): # advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs, for, by or with their membership /constituency In 2020, 243 advocacy initiatives will be carried out by CSOs, for, by, or with their membership/constituency. The FGG Alliance links indicator DD4 to FGG outcome ‘’C’’, number of alternatives developed and FGG outcome ‘’D’’, agendas set. For this specific DD indicator, FGG measures how many alternative models to promote inclusive environmental and social justice were developed and how many times agendas of decision-makers were set to e.g. address these alternatives. ToC1 The FGG Alliance is aiming to develop, pilot and/or promote 22 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct, which meet core criteria like sustainability, participation of people (f/m), transparency and equity (f/m). For example, one of those proposals is a UN Binding Treaty on Transnational Corporations and Human Rights, which presents an alternative UN instrument that has been advocated for by FGG members ActionAid, CCC, FoE Europe and FoE International, SOMO and TNI, and more than 200 members of the Global Campaign on Corporate Impunity. For 2020, in light of this campaign, TNI together with social movements, affected communities and other members of the Global Campaign on Corporate Impunity including from LLMICs, will facilitate the establishment of the Peoples’ Centre on Corporate Impunity. This centre aims to document and publish cases of corporate impunity in order to contribute to regulations that will hold corporations to account. The Peoples Centre will provide an interactive space and tools for social movements and affected communities to address corporate impunity. It will also mobilise a network of academics working on corporate power and link with other networks of organisations monitoring corporate behaviour. FGG will also actively contribute to the perspectives and discussions on binding regulations for corporations of private and public sector decision-makers, academia, the general public, media and social media, and it is expected that these actors will discuss 120 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct. For example, it is expected that national parliamentarians in 5 different countries, pledge their support for the UN Binding Treaty and sign-up to the global interparliamentary network in support of the Binding Treaty. This is the result of FoE International’s and other CSOs’ advocacy efforts. FGG member ActionAid will continue to highlight the gendered impacts of corporate abuse and put forward the feminist perspective to the binding treaty on Business and Human Rights together with CSO members of the Feminist for a binding treaty coalition. One of the expected results of FGG member SOMO’s is that through advocacy by the MVO Platform working group on Mandatory Human Rights Due Diligence (developed with financial and technical support from SOMO) 2 Dutch political parties will include Human Rights Due Diligence Law in their election programs, in anticipation of the elections in March 2021, to ensure that business-related human rights abuses in LLMICs and elsewhere are better prevented and remedied. ToC2 FGG expects 9 alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime will be developed, piloted and/or promoted with CSOs in LLMICs. For example, building on previous work, FGG members ActionAid, Both ENDS, FoE International and TNI, together with partner organisations around the world, actively promote agroecology as an alternative to large-scale agriculture. Agroecology focusses on farmers’ knowledge and capacities while mimicking nature. Agroecology helps to increase food security and resilience, boost livelihoods and local economies, diversify food production and diets, promote health and nutrition, safeguard natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystem functions, improve soil fertility and soil health, adapt to and mitigate climate change, contribute to women’s empowerment, and preserve local cultures and traditional knowledge systems. In 2020, TNI together with FoE organisations, La Via Campesina, and community organisations, will continue to promote agroecology as an alternative to corporate food systems. In Uruguay (the Semillas Network) and in Colombia (Colectiva Huertopia) agroecology advocacy continues at the national level and agroecology practices are being piloted. In the Netherlands the FGG Alliance will continue discussions with the Dutch government on the Dutch approach to agroecology. FGG and partner organisations aim to ensure that 34 proposals for improvement to policies related to trade and investment will be discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private decision makers, in academia, media and social movements. For example, FoE International’s proposals on agroecology, specifically concerning: (i) the implementation of the FAO Global Knowledge Product on Agroecology; and (ii) the FAO Committee on Agriculture (COAG) work on agroecology will be discussed at the upcoming FAO regional conferences. FoE International will contribute to this outcome through advocacy for the proposal at the FAO and by coordinating the participation of CSO representatives from Asia, Africa and Latin America to promote agroecology in regional FAO civil society consultations, and by supporting the engagement of civil society in similar advocacy by facilitating the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC) of the food sovereignty movement’s working group on agroecology. Another expected result is that CCC’s and partners’ recommendations in relation to the GSP country strategies will be incorporated into the functioning of and discussed by the GSP Platform, which represents a group of human rights and development organisations, trade unions and other stakeholders seeking to advance human rights and labour rights; as well as promote civic space in the context of the trade preferences of the European Union ToC 3 It is aimed for that 13 alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies will be developed, piloted, and promoted with CSOs in LLMICs, partly as a result of the FGG Alliance’s advocacy. For example, 4 CSOs from Uganda, Togo, Kenia and Nigeria jointly develop proposals to support Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) in developing policies, for example related to energy. FGG member Both ENDS facilitates research on the activities of ECAs in these countries and supports the development of the proposals. FGG member ActionAid will launch a company case report that will highlight the tax avoidance of a multinational operating in several developing countries via a mailbox company in the Netherlands. The report will also provide recommendations for alternatives to the current tax model that are more beneficial to LLMICs and feminist alternatives to tax rules as part of a bigger project on the feminist economy. The alternatives focus on fair Dutch international fiscal policies, in particular tax treaty policies and policies on source taxation and will be promoted among CSOs and policy makers. Influenced by the advocacy of FGG members and partner organisations, it is anticipated that private actors, public policy makers, academia, the general public, media and social movements will discuss 45 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies. For example, it is expected that 1-5 municipal policy makers in Nigeria, Indonesia, Bolivia, El Salvador and South Africa will discuss democratization of public services, including in water and energy, as a result of advocacy by local partners, with the support of research and analysis from FGG member TNI.

DD4 (C&D): # advocacy initiatives carried out by CSOs, for, by or with their membership/constituency In 2020, 441 advocacy initiatives were carried out by CSOs, for, by, or with their membership/constituency. The numbers show what FGG aims for through its programme: actual changes on the ground and in peoples' lives. So, for this specific DD indicator, FGG measures how many alternative models to promote social justice were developed and how many times agendas of decision-makers were actually set to e.g. address these alternatives. In other words, what the FGG monitoring and evaluation system counts as results are in FGG’s view the more structural and sustainable outcomes. ToC1 The FGG Alliance successfully developed, piloted and/or promoted 34 alternative, participatory initiatives and models related to corporate conduct meeting core criteria including sustainability, participation (f/m), transparency and equity (f/m). FGG has been working on a variety of models that could serve as environmentally sustainable and socially just alternatives to current practices and policies. To support decision-makers and movements in holding polluting industries liable for the climate damage they (knowingly) cause, FGG (FoEI with the Make Big Polluters Pay coalition) launched the Liability Roadmap in 2020. The Liability Roadmap provides tools for the local, national and international levels and contains for each of these levels, and multilevel, a variety of approaches that can be harnessed depending upon the type of leadership one holds. More concretely, through the roadmap, FoEI and partners aim to advance liability through “1) strengthening international legal instruments and institutions that already exist, 2) drawing from best practices and precedents, and 3) enshrining new, bold, and visionary aspirations for what is needed to transform systems and advance justice.” (liabilityroadmap.org) FGG also influenced the agenda of private and public sector decision-makers, academia, the general public, media and social media: these actors discussed 256 proposals for improvement of corporate conduct. One of the issues put on the agenda by FGG (SKC and SOMO) is the due diligence reporting performance of the Agreement on Sustainable Garments and Textile (AGT) member brands. An FGG report was discussed in Dutch parliament, and members of parliament from three political parties tabled written questions following this report, leading to an official response by the AGT, publicly recognising that the shortcomings reported by FGG should be improved within the AGT. ToC2 12 alternative approaches to the current trade and investment regime were developed, piloted and/or promoted with CSOs in LLMICs. Together with partners and movements from several African and Asian LLMICs, FGG (TNI, ActionAid, Milieudefensie, FoEI) has been developing the concept of a just transition towards greener, more resilient, democratic, people-centered energy and food systems. In 2020 a coalition of trade unions and environmental organisations launched a powerful joint statement identifying core principles of a Just Transition. Movements from Pakistan, the Philippines, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Indonesia collectively developed their understanding of Just Transition, working to deepen and expand the notion to include engagement with questions of food sovereignty and resource justice. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was elaborated in the form of proposals for a Just Recovery, driven by grassroots communities and small-scale food producers. FGG (ActionAid, Both ENDS, CCC, FoEE, FoEI, Milieudefensie, SOMO, TNI, partners from around the globe) proposals for a Just Recovery from the pandemic emphasise the need for responding to the pandemic and climate crises simultaneously, moving away from fossil fuel dependency to 100% community-owned, renewable energy for all; protecting and valuing the environment, building resilient ecosystems and tackling climate change; safeguarding human rights, protecting the most vulnerable, incorporating gender into the response to COVID-19 through locally-based, women-led responses to the crisis, and strengthening democracy; creating an economy that cares for people and planet (and thus: holding companies legally accountable for creating fairer and more sustainable supply chains, plus making sure that ISDS does not undermine governments’ ability to adequately respond to the crisis); taking measures to assure that the Dutch tax system does not negatively impact on LLMICs but in fact contributes to a fair and more equal world. FGG and partner organisations in addition ensured that 60 proposals for improvements to policies related to trade and investment were discussed by national, regional and international government bodies and/or by private policymakers, in academia, public agenda, media and social movements. For food security and people-controlled food systems built upon the principles of agroecology, FGG (Both ENDS with East African CSOs) considers it key that trade agreements allow for farmer-managed seed systems. Currently, clauses in several trade agreements provide a form of intellectual property protection for plant varieties, which undermines farmers’ rights to save, use, exchange and sell farm-saved seed. Extensive FGG advocacy in Uganda resulted in 2020 in increased public awareness, strengthened collaboration amongst Ugandan CSOs, and five members of parliament committing themselves to opposing policy frameworks that criminalise indigenous farmers in Uganda. ToC 3 13 alternative proposals to financial and tax and spending policies were developed, piloted, and promoted with CSOs in LLMICs, partly as a result of the FGG Alliance’s lobbying and advocacy efforts. Because current economic systems generally undermine the position of women and increase gender inequality and injustices, FGG (ActionAid, with partners from Senegal, India, South Africa, Brazil, Jordan and Guatemala and feminist networks) has been working to further develop the concept of and promote feminist economic alternatives. They have written several reports on this concept, which also contain proposals for fair taxes and gender-responsive public services as an integral part of achieving a feminist economy based on well-being and care. Influenced by the lobbying and advocacy of partner organisations and FGG members, private actors, public policymakers, academia, the general public, media and social movements discussed 66 proposals for improvement of financial, tax and spending policies. A just energy transition requires an end to fossil fuel development, and thus an end to government support to fossil fuel companies. FGG actively supports partners in among other countries Mozambique, Uganda, Brazil and Nigeria to resist fossil fuel development projects. FGG advocacy (Both ENDS, Milieudefensie, and partners from Mozambique, Uganda, Nigeria, Togo and Ghana) -particularly showing how investments in the fossil fuel sector negatively impact on LLMICs- in 2020 resulted in engagement from Dutch politicians and the Dutch government for an end to state financial support via the Dutch export credit agency (ECA) for fossil fuel development in the Global South. Until recently, the Dutch government claimed that no fossil fuel subsidies exist in the Netherlands. However, at the end of 2019, in response to adopted parliamentary resolutions calling on the government to take action on fossil fuel subsidies (that were submitted after FGG (Milieudefensie and Both ENDS) advocacy, the Netherlands commissioned the OECD and the IEA to peer review its fossil fuel subsidies framework to inform policy on the topic. This creates an important opportunity for the government to turn long-standing commitments into concrete action, and the 2020 results show that this is at least high on the Dutch government’s agenda.

Actual comment
In 2017, FGG contributed to 248 CSOs in LLMICs increasing their lobby and advocacy capacities and using these to effectively lobby and advocate. In this sense, the FGG indicator that we use to monitor progress on mutual capacity development, and the related data gathered, is at a slightly higher level than the MFA indicator DD5; as we monitor at outcome level, meaning that for each of these 248 organisations we have tracked that they actually went on to lobby or advocate using their advanced capacities, in 2017. Of this result, 197 CSOs increased capacities related to improving corporate conduct. For example, in 2016 and 2017 Milieudefensie and a Swiss CSO supported six CSOs in four West African countries by addressing in the Netherlands and Belgium the export of bad quality fuels that cause severe air pollution in West African cities (these refined fuels, which have a.o. a high sulphur content, mainly originate from Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp). Milieudefensie's press and advocacy work resulted in massive media attention in the Netherlands in September 2016, and support for the Swiss and West African CSOs' pleas, from Dutch MPs, the Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Ms. Ploumen (who called the practice "a crying shame" on Dutch public television), and the Municipality of Amsterdam (the owner of the city's large port). Minister Ploumen together with the Nigerian Minister for the Environment 5 December 2016 organised a conference "Clean Fuels for West Africa" with the participation of a.o. EU member states, West African states, UNEP, OECD, the Dutch ports, fuel companies, West African CSOs and Milieudefensie. After the Dutch government took measures to prevent the illegal act of blending wastes into export diesel (see 1.F.a), Milieudefensie and the Swiss CSO commissioned a research by Centre for International Environmental Law (CIEL) on the relevance of two international conventions, with the aim to prevent also the export of high sulphuric fuels that are not produced through waste blending practices. CIEL showed that the 'Basel Convention on the Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal' in combination with the 'Bamako Convention on the Ban of the Import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa' can be used to prevent the dirty diesel export to West Africa. Press work and advocacy by Milieudefensie around the publication of this report in February 2017 again gained media attention and the engagement of Dutch MPs. Another 59 CSOs increased capacities related to improving trade and investment policies. For example, CCC shared knowledge and lobbying strategies among (16) partner organisation in South Asia during the South Asia meeting on a special session on GSP/GSP+. They have a better understanding on how the GSP mechanism can be used to improve both labour laws as well as the actual implementation of these in their respective countries; and have contacts with relevant MEPs. They have (both collectively as CCC partners and individually) spoken to MEPs, sent delegates to EP hearings on the subject and participated in expert meetings. And finally, 31 CSOs increased L&A capacities to improve tax and financial systems. For example, Both ENDS, SOMO and TNI worked with various civil society groups in Indonesia to engage in a dialogue with public and private policy makers on the Masterplan for National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD), supported by Dutch development finance. Together, the FGG members and local partners developed research into the environmental and social impacts of existing plans for coastal development as well as alternatives. They also cooperated in publication of their findings and related media and advocacy work. All of this has led to a higher prioritisation –also by (public) investors- of local participation, waste water management and land subsidence in the design phase of infrastructure masterplans. Meanwhile the partners in the cooperation learned from each others’ expertise, skills and experiences in the process, enabling them to engage more effectively in similar research, lobby and advocacy activities in future. [For more information about these results, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie, Friends of the Earth International, and SOMO), results FGG ToC 1-3 F (indicators a and b) 2017.]

In 2018, the FGG Alliance will support 305 CSOs in LLMICs that lobby and advocate for responsible corporate conduct, improved policies related to trade and investment, and/or improved financial, tax and spending policies, based on increased skills, knowledge or network contacts.
Actual comment
In 2018, FGG contributed to 475 CSOs in LLMICs increasing their capacities in order to effectively lobby and advocate. FGG monitors this indicator at outcome level, meaning that for each of these 475 organisations, these increased capacities contributed to improved lobby and advocacy initiatives. ToC1 284 CSOs have improved their lobby and advocacy capacities and used these strengthened capacities to better lobby and advocate for improved corporate conduct. Together with 61 trade unions and garment worker support organisations, of which 41 from LLMICs, CCC organised a ‘Garment Worker Labour Rights’ workshop and exchange meeting in Yangon, Myanmar and an Urgent Appeal Global Strategising and Capacity Development meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. The meetings supported participants to exchange knowledge and strategise around issues such as factory closures, reinstatement of dismissed activists and gender-based violence. These meetings enhanced the capacity of participating organisations to lobby and advocate towards brands, governments, European institutions and the ILO around cases that pertain to shrinking civic space (such as persecution of human rights defenders), gender-based violence and freedom of association violations, wage theft and occupational health and safety. ToC2 In 2018, 131 CSOs in LLMICs lobbied and advocated for improved policies related to trade and investment, based on improved skills, knowledge or network contacts. An example is the mutual capacity development that FGG members Milieudefensie, SOMO and TNI organised with fisheries and coastal organisations in 2018. TNI, for example, conducted workshops on gender and fisheries in Myanmar with two CSOs. As a result, these groups sensitised gender issues in their advocacy on coastal and marine issues at the community level. Another example concerns exchange programmes that Milieudefensie organised with national CSOs, contributing to capacity development of fisher communities in Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, Mozambique, Colombia, Brazil and Honduras. Representatives of the communities organised and strategised on how to deal with existing or planned offshore oil and gas extraction projects threatening their livelihoods. The communities elaborated alternative, autonomous sustainable territorial development schemes, were trained in policy influencing, and used their new knowledge and skills in several jointly developed advocacy initiatives. ToC3 60 CSOs were able to better lobby and advocate for improved financial, tax and spending policies as a result of capacity development in the FGG programme in 2018. A Zambian ActionAid partner organisation, for instance, trained three partners on mineral revenue tracking, and these partners in turn trained three communities in their respective districts on practical revenue expenditure. As a result of their increased capacity, the partners together with the communities carried out practical expenditure tracking and analysed the local authorities’ strategic plans and budgets, with particular attention on revenues from the mining companies and how they are being spent on service provision. The partners and communities made recommendations to the local authorities based on their analyses, first and foremost to ensure the inclusion of local needs and priorities in the plans. In addition, ActionAid’s partner organisation trained one of its partners to carry out action research on mineral revenue collection and spending on social service delivery. As a result, the partner carried out action research, involving key informants such as District Heads, mining companies, community leaders, women, youth and children. This research will result in a report that ActionAid’s partner organisation will use for lobby and advocacy for improved tax and spending policies.

By joining forces, complementing each other and strengthening each other’s skills, knowledge and networks, through what we call mutual capacity development, the FGG programme is geared towards increasing the lobby and advocacy capacity of CSOs, specifically in LLMICs. We measure progress in this area by monitoring the number of CSOs with improved skills, knowledge and network contacts that actually use this improved capacity to lobby and advocate effectively. This unit of measurement implies somewhat more outcome-level monitoring than is the case in the MFA indicator DD5 (the numbers of CSOs that we count here are CSOs that not only have increased lobby and advocacy capacities, but that actually use these in practice). In 2019, we expect that 401 CSOs in LLMICs will increase their lobby and advocacy capacities and use these to effectively lobby and advocate. On the basis of their improved capacities, 275 of these 401 CSOs will lobby and advocate for improved corporate conduct. For example, with technical and logistical support from FGG member Transnational Institute (TNI), a network in Southeast Asia with members in Indonesia, Cambodia and the Philippines will advocate nationally and regionally for corporate accountability. Likewise, with financial and technical support from TNI, a network of CSOs in Southern Africa will advocate towards their governments for a binding treaty and binding regulation on corporate power, reaching a wider audience and improving their advocacy work. 75 CSOs will use their improved capacities for more effective lobby and advocacy on trade and investment policies. For instance, it is expected that training and awareness raising sessions at regional strategy meetings and in FGG member Friends of the Earth International's Schools of Sustainability in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions will strengthen the capacity of four CSOs in LLMICs to engage in advocacy on trade and investment agreements and especially ISDS, including denouncing the differentiated impacts of trade and protectionism and injustice on women. The CSOs will use the strengthened capacities to advocate at their governments and at the international level for just gender, climate and economic trade and investment policies. We also expect partner organisations in Sri Lanka and Pakistan to better leverage the GSP+ process thanks to their improved knowledge and international support on this matter. We expect this to result from content input and lobby towards the European Parliament from FGG member Clean Clothes Campaign. 51 CSOs with increased capacities will apply their learnings to lobby and advocate to improve tax and financial systems. For example, FGG member Both ENDS and two CSOs in LLMICs and CSOs in other countries, will advocate for improvements in new (potentially) insured projects by ADSB, based on improved capacities, which result from evidence building, designing strategies and information exchange with communities, in which Both ENDS supports the CSOs and exchanges information. Another example relates to our work on tax: ActionAid Zambia will strengthen the capacity of three partner organisations on the topics of gender responsive public services and public expenditure tracking. As a result, these partner organisations will be better able to lobby and advocate for tax justice and to hold duty bearers accountable for financial spending policies. [For more information about these plans/targets, please see the FGG member files (ActionAid Netherlands, Both ENDS, Clean Clothes Campaign, Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth International/Friends of the Earth Europe, SOMO and the Transnational Institute), results FGG ToC 1-3 B 2019.]

DD5 (B): # CSOs with increased L&A capacities In 2019, FGG contributed to 639 CSOs in LLMICs increasing their capacities in order to effectively lobby and advocate. FGG monitors this indicator at outcome level, meaning that for each of these 699 organisations, these increased capacities contributed to initiated or improved lobby and advocacy. ToC1 343 CSOs have improved their lobby and advocacy capacities and used these strengthened capacities to better lobby and advocate for improved corporate conduct. For example, five members of the UNCCD CSO panel (CSOs from Togo, Moldova, Argentina and China, and Both ENDS) have collaborated with Both ENDS’ partners from Drynet, a global initiative which works to improve drylands. These CSOs mutually developed the advocacy capacity of more than 50 CSOs from 25 LLMICs. Their collaboration informed the CSO panel’s preparations and the CSO interventions in the 14th Conference of the Parties of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification in Delhi, India. The CSOs present at the COP and the CSO panel flagged the importance of implementation of the voluntary guidelines on the responsible governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests in the context of national food security (VGGT) in a COP14 decision. The joint advocacy was successful: the UN member states decided to implement the VGGT in policies regarding land degradation, land restoration and sustainable land use. In addition they decided to further implement the Gender Action Plan and strengthen gender-responsive monitoring. This is a huge result, as after long and extensive FGG advocacy, the UNCCD has finally acknowledged the link between land tenure security and degradation, restoration, and sustainable use of land. Flagging the importance of the VGGTs is something Both ENDS and ActionAid also did in close collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They provided input for example for the LAND-at-Scale fund to financially support local interventions that strengthen land governance in line with the VGGTs. ToC2 In 2019, 233 CSOs in LLMICs lobbied and advocated for improved policies related to trade and investment, based on improved skills, knowledge or network contacts. For example, in September 2019, the CCC network organised a two-day consultation meeting in Nepal, in which 21 unions and NGOs from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka took part. They came together to learn and mutually develop capacities from GSP/GSP+ action experiences, and to develop strategies to lobby the EU and national governments to comply to GSP/GSP+. The EU’s GSP/GSP+ (Generalised Scheme of Preferences) reduces or fully removes import duties from products coming into the EU market from LLMICs that implement international conventions related to human rights, labour rights, protection of the environment and good governance. Countries where such rights and practices are being violated are liable to lose their GSP/GSP+ status, something which offers lobbying opportunities against such violations and has the potential to advance human and labour rights, as well as promote civic space. The meeting resulted in the drafting of a joint statement, which –after sign-off by all- unions and NGOs will use in their advocacy and campaigning in the following year. ToC3 123 CSOs were able to better lobby and advocate for improved financial, tax and spending policies as a result of capacity development in the FGG programme in 2019. Two of these CSOs are partners of TNI from the West Bank and Gaza, and Kenya. Their communications, profiling and networking capacities were strengthened. This helped them to organise local groups with online and offline local actions to promote their initiatives and attract public votes for the Transformative Cities Award. This award showcases and promotes transformative initiatives that protect the right to water, energy, housing and food. Through participation in the Transformative Cities project the CSOs were able to bring their initiatives to a wider public, allowing others to learn from these experiences. Part of being selected at final candidates meant that their experiences were documented by journalists in written form and also put on video. The communications around their projects increased their visibility also at national level and strengthened their position vis a vis adverse actors.

DD5 (B): # CSOs with increased L&A capacities FGG links indicator DD5 to its outcome B ‘’capacities developed’’ which aims at increasing the capacities of civil society actors to research, network and advocate on corporate conduct, trade and investment and financial and tax policies. FGG monitors this indicator at outcome level, meaning that for each organisation increasing its capacities, we expect that these increased capacities in turn will contribute to improved lobby and advocacy. In 2020, FGG aims to contribute to 381 CSOs in LLMICs increasing their capacities to effectively lobby and advocate. ToC1 It is expected that 284 CSOs will improve their lobby and advocacy capacities and use these strengthened capacities to better advocate for improved corporate conduct. FoE Europe will e.g. strengthen the capacity of Environmental and Human Rights Defenders and CSOs in LLMICs working with people affected by corporate crimes in one or two cases by providing them with expertise and contacts, highlighting the role of European companies in environmental and human rights crimes and by supporting Defenders/CSO pressure on these companies. Capacities of these groups will also be strengthened by FoE Europe through cooperation on the negative impacts of oil and gas exploration. Through participation of FGG member ActionAid in ActionAid’s Global Women’s Rights campaign, to which one of the main contributions is to create an understanding on the role of corporate accountability and gendered due diligence in achieving women’s economic justice, FGG will strengthen the capacity of partners in countries engaged in this campaign on these topics through collaboration on campaign activities in the Netherlands (as through the campaign tour), dissemination of materials and through sharing spaces as webinars. As a result, it is expected that several partners will advocate at the UN level for a binding treaty and at national level for the support and implementation of such a treaty and for the implementation of the feminist economy as an alternative to current corporate accountability strategies. ToC2 In 2020, 60 CSOs in LLMICs will advocate for improved policies related to trade and investment, based on improved skills, knowledge or network contacts. For example, at least six organisations from CCC’s network will have strengthened capacities to lobby and advocate for improved labour rights. CCC will engage in capacity development on the General Scheme of Preferences (GSP) to support partners from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Cambodia on how GSP operates and how to potentially leverage GSP as a tool to improve labour rights within their respective countries. Following on this, CCC will support the development and implementation of National Engagement Plans (GSP country strategies) in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Cambodia. A key component of this will be developing networks nationally and at the EU level as well as identifying additional opportunities for the partner organisations to engage e.g. participate in events, facilitate meetings with EU stakeholders, or publish reports on the issue. Another expected result of FGG member SOMO is that by the end of 2020, one CSO in Indonesia and one CSO in Tunisia have their capacities increased to research, network and advocate, which they will use in their advocacy for human rights protection and democratization in relation to trade and investment agreements. SOMO’s role is to coordinate and financially support the capacity development and strategize with key partners, to support the further development of the network in which SOMO and these CSOs operate and to respond to ad hoc challenges. ToC3 FGG expects 37 CSOs being able to better lobby and advocate for improved financial, tax and spending policies as a result of capacity development in the FGG programme in 2020. For example, with video training, resources and joint strategizing from TNI, an Nigerian partner organisation will continue to fight the privatisation of the Lagos water utility and advocate for the human right to water in Nigeria.

DD5 (B): # CSOs with increased L&A capacities In 2020, FGG contributed to 476 CSOs in LLMICs increasing their capacities in order to effectively lobby and advocate. FGG monitors this indicator at outcome level, meaning that for each of these 476 organisations, these increased capacities contributed to initiated or improved lobby and advocacy. ToC1 362 CSOs have improved their lobby and advocacy capacities and used these strengthened capacities to better lobby and advocate for improved corporate conduct. In a joint effort to advocate for a strong UN Binding Treaty, FGG members (ActionAid, Milieudefensie, FoEI, FoEE, TNI) have focused on supporting partner CSOs from among other countries Mozambique, Togo, Indonesia, Guatemala, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Malawi, as well as regional CSOs from Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America, to provide valuable inputs during virtual meetings between the Chair of the OEIGWG and civil society, as well as in (online) meetings with their national missions, media work and/or public (online) events. Through joint strategising and (gender) analysis of the draft for the treaty, and with financial support from FGG, partners were able to put forward their (gendered) recommendations and get them on the agenda of the treaty negotiations and of their national governments. ToC2 In 2020, 98 CSOs in LLMICs lobbied and advocated for improved policies related to trade and investment, based on improved skills, knowledge or network contacts. Throughout 2020, FGG (SOMO, Both ENDS, Milieudefensie) has been involved in capacity development and joint advocacy around the Indonesian Omnibus Law on Job Creation, and more generally Indonesia’s trade and industrialisation agenda. Through the Omnibus Law, the Indonesian government aims to relax their laws to attract foreign investment, therewith risking environmental and human rights violations. With financial and strategic support from FGG (SOMO), two Indonesian partners were able to consolidate a broad social movement against the Omnibus Law. Meanwhile in the Netherlands, FGG members and other CSOs wrote a letter to Trade Minister Sigrid Kaag to express their grave concern with the Omnibus Law and its impact of labour and environment in Indonesia, in an effort to use their leverage in the Netherlands to push for change in Indonesia. ToC3 57 CSOs were able to better lobby and advocate for improved financial, tax and spending policies as a result of capacity development in the FGG programme in 2020. De-privatisation of and democratic control over water is a priority for FGG partners in among other countries Bolivia, Indonesia and Nigeria. FGG (TNI) supported these partners financially, with research, and by connecting them to other groups to advocate for the remunicipalisation or democratisation of public water. In several other countries, including Kenya and Bangladesh, FGG (Both ENDS) has collaborated with partners to strengthen their capacity to advocate for inclusive water governance. Especially on tidal river management in Bangladesh, the involved FGG member and partner strengthened each other’s capacities, mostly through knowledge development at both sides and through linking each other with relevant actors in the water sectors in both countries.

This DD indicator aims to show the scope of the Strategic Partnership. As this was not something the FGG Alliance monitored in its own PME framework, it was decided to take as reference for this indicator the number of partner organisations in our ‘partner database’ at the end of the year reported on. On 31st December 2017, this number was 329, including partner organisations receiving funding through the FGG programme, but also organisations with whom FGG members have a non-financial collaboration. We have concluded that the scope of our programme is in fact much wider if we take all the CSOs and CBOs into account that take part in the activities funded through the programme (many of these are reported on under DD5/FGG indicator B); we will make an effort to complete our partner database in 2018 in order to ensure this number is more representative at the time of the next reporting round.

The push for adoption of grievance mechanisms is starting to bear fruits, with 9 such mechanisms put in place or improved. In Zambia and Zimbabwe, 4 grievance mechanisms related to mines were installed due to pressure of ActionAid partners. The RSPO Dispute Settlement Facility and Complaints System were reviewed with inputs from Both ENDS and partners. The Fair Wear Foundation’s complaint procedure was improved based on inputs from the CCC network. The European parliament improved the complaint mechanism in its Code of Conduct after year-long lobby on the issue by FoEE. And Germany formally agreed to restructure and improve its NCP after engagements with SOMO.
