The Rules Campaign Director for Africa

The Rules is a new citizen-led, global movement that unites the voice and collective power of the world’s majority to change the rules that perpetuate poverty and inequality.

Our aim is to build the largest transnational community of every day citizens and organizations from developing and developed countries who are committed to ending chronic and extreme poverty and closing the widening gaps of inequality everywhere.

Operating as an agile and highly decentralized campaigning organization, The Rules seeks to reanimate the anti-poverty movement and pivot it away from traditional aid-based solutions, targeting instead the structural impediments in force throughout the global system that keep over half the human race from accessing the elements for a life of opportunity.

The Rules launches formally at the end of 2012, with a key focus on work in five launch countries: Brazil, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria and India. Working closely with actors and activists on the ground and mobilizing people around the world both online and offline, our campaigns will promote bottom-up reforms that come from local partners and individuals, and support them through on an innovative platform, world-class policy expertise, powerful digital content and technologies that reach people where they are. The Rules will fight unjust policies, processes and cultural norms, while promoting the scale and replication of the most effective new rules, backed by the solidarity of the global public.
