International Accountability Project (IAP) is a part of the Stop Financing Factory Farming Campaign. This is a coalition of development, environmental, and animal protection groups that works in partnership with locally affected communities and organizations and utilizes the Early Warning System to shift development finance away from industrial livestock production. IAP is on the Steering Committee of the Stop Financing Factory Farming Campaign with Friends of the Earth US, World Animal Protection, Feedback Global, Global Forest Coalition, Sinergia Animal, and the Bank Information Center.
Millions of dollars are pumped into factory farming projects by development finance institutions (DFIs) every year. These are projects linked to animal cruelty, deforestation, usurping of indigenous lands and ways of life, worsening climate change, promoting non-communicable and zoonotic diseases, and putting workers in a state of illness and risk of death. The financing of factory farming projects has to stop, and that is what this coalition is fighting for.
