What is the CRE
The Community Resource Exchange (CRE) is a system to facilitate collaborations and co-develop strategies with and among communities defending their rights in the context of international investments and development projects. It works at the direction of communities and their partners, to coordinate:
- Linkages with potential allies and collaborators
- Exchange of information and resources
- Cross-learning among communities leading similar struggles
- Access to small financial assistance (under US$ 5000) through regular calls for applications
Call for proposals
The next call for financial assistance proposals will open in 2024. Throughout the year, we accept unsolicited proposals for non-financial assistance: you can apply submitting this form or sending your request at cre@rightsindevelopment.org
