Who we are

Bankwatch has 15 member groups in 13 countries in central and eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Russia. Our headquarters are in Prague, Czech Republic, but our staff is based in offices across the region. We’re in Brussels too.

We work with partner organisations from Africa to Central Asia, monitoring publicly financed projects and promoting environmentally, socially and economically sustainable alternatives.

Our diverse staff and its expertise enables Bankwatch to work on a wide range of issues from air pollution to land rights and EU decision-making.
