Dear friends,
It's been a whole year since we published our last English-language bulletin. We were caught in a whirlwind of projects activities, deadlines, conferences, and workshops, and we had less time for reflection and communication with our members and partners, although many exchanges around concrete issues or events did take place. Adding to that was the strained human resource situation within our team, with two colleagues leaving the organisation in January-March and two in September-October . However , we were pleased to welcome two new colleagues at the end of 2017 - Eunha Gim as Programme Officer Research and Ratna Mathai-Luke as Programme Officer Asia.
With new additions to the team and new energy at the beginning of the year , it is our wish for the new year (we won't say resolution!) to make the time to inform you more regularly about our work. We do believe it is important to share our successes, challenges and insights with all of you, as well as learn from yours.
In 2017 we continued working on our three thematic priorities - Accountability, Access to Justice, and Power in Migration and Work - as well as our core activities of research, advocacy, and participatory learning.
