Federal Trade Commission: Technical Assistance to Costa Rica on Consumer Protection Federal Trade Commission (FTC) assistance to foreign consumer protection and privacy agencies aimed at building a foundation for strong cooperative relationships between the FTC and newer consumer protection agencies with an eye to building the capacity of those agencies to serve as effective civil law enforcement partners in the fight against cross-border fraud, with the secondary goal of promoting a common vision of sound consumer policy.
Federal Trade Commission: Technical Assistance to Costa Rica on Competition Federal Trade Commission (FTC) assistance to foreign antitrust agencies aimed at ensuring that competition agencies in developing and transitional economies that review suspected anticompetitive conduct and mergers share in a convergent approach to enforcement, analysis, and fairness, with a secondary goal of promoting competition in the economy at-large and cross-border cooperation.
Capacity Building for Investors and Commodity Producers to Effectively Mitigate Social and Land Tenure Risk This project will organise and deliver two training initiatives aimed at ensuring that investment projects in emerging markets and commodity producers in Africa have improved capacity to prevent and manage social and land tenure risks, thus contributing to increased respect for human rights and local land rights in commodity-producing developing economies. The project’s ‘Investor Training on Social Risk Mitigation’ will be given to leading investment institutions in Africa, Asia, the US, and Europe to increase their awareness of the high liabilities associated with insufficient social due diligence and to motivate them to implement best practices for utilising existing resources for mitigating social and land tenure risk. The Investor Training program will be piloted with leading financial institutions and then deployed at scale through an online version of the course. The project’s ‘Africa Training Programme for Social Managers’ will organise a 10-month course that will prepare 15-20 professionals from high-risk commodity producing regions to serve in companies in Central, West and East Africa as Social Managers capable of building corporate social programs and leading effective stakeholder engagement on land tenure and other social risks.
