The Annual Social Watch Report monitors the fulfilment of internationally agreed commitments on poverty eradication and gender equity.
The 2006 Report, "Impossible Architecture", focuses on the urgent need to reform the current international financial structure in order to ensure the means to meet these commitments, and provides new perspectives and ideas for a viable blueprint for action.
Social Watch is a coalition comprising more than 400 non-governmental organizations in more than 60 countries. Its annual report is the world's most highly recognized independent study on social development.
In addition to Country Reports contributed by local non-governmental groups that form part of the international Social Watch network, the report includes 13 Thematic Articles by experts on international finances, as well as a global study based on indexes developed by Social Watch itself: the Basic Capabilities Index and the Gender Equity Index.
