Set up in 1997 Focus’ India Programme (FIP) now functions out of two offices located in Mumbai and New Delhi. While engaging on regional issues remains a priority for FIP, our strength is credible relationships with national networks and processes. On Deglobalisation we work closely with broad based networks such as the Forum against FTAs, Indian Peoples Campaign against the WTO and the Peoples Forum against the ADB. As part of Peoples SAARC we attempt to articulate alternative regional frameworks such as a Peoples Union of South Asia.

On climate justice we monitor India’s position at the United Nations negotiations and the emerging national climate regime through networks such as the India climate justice group.
