Development Group for Alternative Policies

The Development Group for Alternative Policies (The Development GAP) "was founded in 1976 to assist in the promotion of economic justice across the South, or Third World, by helping to maximize control by poor communities and sectors over their own development in the face of impositions from the North. It was founded on the principle of the right to self-determination and on the belief that local knowledge is indispensable to the shaping of sound development policies, programs and projects relevant to local needs and conditions." 

Founded by Frederick O'Regan
