 *How do you see development? How can you portrait the human face of the
development processes? How do you show that development initiatives and
programmes improve the lives of people? *
*The Global Photography Campaign on Humanizing Development recently launched
aims to promote and showcase visual examples of people winning the battle
against poverty, social exclusion and marginalization by bringing light and
life into the above questions.***
* *
Development is often portrayed through images of desolation and despair
despite the immense number of initiatives, programmes, ideas and
partnerships that are changing the lives of millions of people throughout
our developing and transitional world. To raise the awareness of these
global successes in the development process and share innovative and
successful actions, the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth
(IPC-IG) launches the Global Photography Campaign on Humanizing Development.
Partners from all continents are supporting the campaign – from Brazil to
Kazakhstan; New York to Abuja; Sri Lanka to Haiti; the São Paulo Metro
Company to the Calvary School in Singapore. United Nations Online Volunteers
are supporting IPC-IG in the organisation of this campaign.
 *Everyone can and is strongly encouraged to participate in this global
effort and contribute with a photograph. *All photographs should fit into
one of the campaign’s fourteen different thematic areas related to the
Millennium Development Goals, such as *eradicating extreme poverty and
hunger, expanding access to food, clean water, sanitation, education and
health services for the poor, *and* promoting women's leadership and equal
opportunity in education and employment. *It is very simple to upload your
photograph onto the campaign’s website:

* *
Some of the key outcomes of the campaign will include* *a *photography
gallery* to be permanently displayed prominently at the IPC-IG office and
open for public viewing; a series of *photography exhibitions* in several
cities around the world; and a *photography database* that will be shared
with the campaign partners and several United Nations agencies and
departments.
