International South Group Network (ISGN) is a network of individuals with roots and active involvement in social movements and centers of research and learning.
It is active in the advocacy of various concerns affecting peoples of the South, disseminating critical analysis of global issues, propagating people's on-the-ground struggles, conducting studies and workshops to forge unity among social movements, and enhancing efforts to discover and promote people-centered development alternatives.
ISGN is an initiative of African and Southern people's democratic institutions, created to respond to historical transformations taking place in the era of globalization.
It is the product of the International Consultation on the Role of NGOs in the New World Order held at the University of Fort Hare in South Africa on June 12-16, 1994. From thereon, ISGN has evolved into a global South-South network and has engaged in thematic campaigns on issues such as debt and Jubilee, trade and the WTO, land and food security, environment, women and gender, corruption and governance, and most recently, war and militarism.
