The bulletin is an initiative of the International Facilitation Team of the International Campaign on Illegitimate
Debt. The Team was established in Nairobi in January 2007 and is composed of Jubilee South, CADTM, Jubilee
USA and Eurodad. It facilitates exchanges and joint initiatives of groups participating in the illegitimate
campaign.
Debt groups and movements have agreed to call for the immediate cancellation of illegitimate, unjust and
unpayable debt of the South without externally imposed conditions. The agreed priority areas for coordination
and joint actions are:

.Generating official recognition of the issue of illegitimate debt;

· Raising the profile of illegitimate debt issue among social movements, CSOs and the general public;

· Conducting debt audits; and
· Developing definitions, perspectives, analytical tools, advocacy instruments on illegitimate debt andalternative/responsible financing.
