Progressio is an international development charity working for justice and the eradication of poverty.

We work in partnership with civil groups and governments in:

• Latin America
• Caribbean
• Africa
• Middle East
• South East Asia
• UK and Europe

Our approach combines advocacy work to secure equitable policies with the strengthening of community-based organisations that represent the interests of the poor and improve their quality of life (see our core values).

Through our country programmes, we place experienced professionals to share their skills with partners in 11 countries.

Our advocacy work is focused on three themes:

• Civil society participation   
• HIV and AIDS
• sustainable environment

Progressio has more than 2,000 members around the world who receive our quarterly magazine, invitations to conferences and discounts on new publications.
