Our new report (co-published with @4accountability & endorsed by 37 partners of the #DefendersInDevelopment campaign) reveals how
development banks are heavily investing in repressive countries, explains why this is concerning, and presents some key recommendations that devt banks should follow before investing in countries with closed #civicspace.

✊#DefendersinDevelopment - Manushya Foundation was in Tbilisi, Georgia, to attend an important Defenders in Development campaign gathering!
❣️ Over the course of a week, we met with over 100 human rights defenders and civil society organizations from 50 different countries! As a collective we discussed how we can better protect human rights defenders and civic spaces, especially in a time where civic spaces are shrinking globally.

#COVID19 lock down measures are curtailing the right of #DefendersinDevelopment to resist projects that impacts them negatively. #DFIs must #StaywithDefenders and ensure that their funding is addressing needs and not creating more problems for communities.

#COVID19 lockdown measures, often implemented by police or military in different countries, meant curtailed freedoms for communities resisting #DFI projects. Check out the stories our #CEP partners and other #DefendersinDevelopment shared. Read here: https://t.co/EecJLQGMvR
@atm_philippines National Coordinator @jaybeegarganera talks about the impacts of #COVID19 lockdown against #DefendersinDevelopment in mining communities in the Philippines.
On @ForeignPolicy's Podcast Don't Touch Your Face,
@jaybeegarganera speaks about the attacks or threats facing #EnvironmentDefenders in the Philippines - with growing concerns around the #COVID-19 lockdown.

@IAP has been tracking DFI-response to COVID19 pandemic. In the Philippines, #DefendersinDevelopment whose health were already poor due to @IFC_org coal investments are doubly vulnerable with #COVID19. #DFIs support to address COVID19 impacts should not add risks for communities.
![4accountability's tweet photo. It is critical that #DFIs support to address #COVID19’s health impacts should also ensure that their support will not put #HRDs at further risks of surveillance, intimidation or any form of reprisals.
We are tracking the DFI response [Update: 4 May 2020]: https://t.co/j3UEePKNUZ https://t.co/GBqXfhOlbb](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EXQs3kWU0AM75N6.png)
#DefendersinDevelopment Gloria Capitan was killed in front of her family. Her activism was due to the adverse health impacts to her family of coal dust from the coal storage facility near them. Coal health impacts are making communities in the #Philippines vulnerable to #COVID19

❎New threats in COVID19 context
❎Government denial over escalating attacks

✳️@Global_Witness continuing support

#DefendersinDevelopment are more vulnerable to possible attacks with the lock down measures due to #COVID19. @IFC_org efforts to systematically track reprisals allegations is impt, but using their leverage as lender and investors crucial to discourage and stop these attacks too.
Last year we showed that household brands @DelMontePH, @DolePhilippines & @IFC_org backed projects connected to violent attacks on Land & #EnvironmentDefenders.
6 months on, both companies have pledged to take action: https://t.co/yxk5FR2OvZ

The new state of emergency in Cambodia goes far beyond COVID19 response & allows government to read every citizen's emails & listen to their phone calls. This is a direct threat to democratic rights & there's an urgent need to #ProtectCivilSociety & #DefendersinDevelopment
Total lock down and partial quarantines ostensibly protect us from #COVID19, but how do we #ProtectCivilSociety and #DefendersinDevelopment against the same measures that shut them down when they point criticize government's inadequate actions and violations of #humanrights.
#Development shouldn't be deadly. Yet another ill-conceived @WorldBank @IFC_org @Finnfund @norfund_ dam project linked to murder of #humanrights #defenders.
