Please join us in honoring Global Witness, the 2007 winner of the Commitment to Development Ideas in Action Award, sponsored jointly by the Center for Global Development (CGD) and Foreign Policy magazine. Global Witness, a British NGO, has crusaded to stop the plunder of rain forests in Cambodia and Burma, driven the call for greater transparency within the extractive industries and helped to bring the problem of conflict diamonds in Africa to the world's attention. We hope you can join us in celebrating the achievements and tireless work of our 2007 award winner Global Witness.
