IFAT Annual Report 2006
In 2006, IFAT membership grew by over 25% to nearly 300 organisations -
this is more than double compared to the year 2000! Since the creation
of IFAT in 1989 the organization has grown tenfold,
members have matured, and their expectations and priorities have
changed considerably.
The environment of Fair Trade has also changed and Fair Trade has
expanded into mainstream markets and public institutions up to the
highest level.
IFAT continues to be the only global network of Fair Trade
Organizations and we made important steps to be recognised as the
representatives of the global Fair Trade movement.
This gives us a huge responsibility and the activities reflected in
this report are an indication of our shared desire to put together
structures and systems to strengthen the Fair Trade Movement as a
practical
model of poverty alleviation.
