What We Do

New Rules’ programs and networking activities address and promote the accountability, and governance reform of the major IFIs, poverty impact assessment measures, policy advances in finance for development, innovations in reforms of private sector finance, and capacity building in taxation of domestic resources for inclusive development. In 2009, New Rules focused on strengthening global financial systems in four areas where we are well-positioned to advocate and prompt the implementation of needed systemic reforms; advocating governance reform of the IMF and other financial institutions; developing practical, cost-efficient tools of poverty impact assessment (PIA) for macro-economic policies, directing attention to international financial issues related to the UN’s FfD process; and advocating South-South exchange of successful practices and norm setting in taxation of domestic resources for inclusive development. Advances in each of these policy domains would contribute significantly toward the reduction of global poverty and inequality.
