| Descripción | Jubilee South is a network of jubilee and debt campaigns, social movements, people's organizations, communities, NGOs and political formations. The Jubilee South network aims to and is in the process of emerging and developing as an international South movement on the debt.
It has members from over 40 countries from the regions of Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and Asia/Pacific, composed of 85 groups.
It was formally constituted in November 1999 in a South-South Summit held in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. The Summit brought together 119 leaders and representatives from various groups in 35 countries of Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean, and established Jubilee South as an international network and movement of peoples of the South.
Jubilee South can trace its beginnings to 1997 and 1998 when various unrelated initiatives and exchanges began taking place among groups from within and between the three regions of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia/Pacific which all had a common thread: the dream of a South-South process that would enable the articulation of a united perspective, position and agenda on the issue and build a global campaign based on these. |
