Abstract
The three case studies cover different strategies used by non-governmental organizations (NGO) when they engage with the private sector. “Save the Children and Greenstone” is an example of a potential program partnership in the extractive sector based in the South (Nicaragua) with Canadian NGO involvement. The “Ethical Trading Action Group” (ETAG) is an example of advocacy in the apparel industry in Canada through a partnership of NGOs. “Placer Dome in Marinduque (Philippines)” is an example of a sequenced advocacy and partnership in the extractive sector, where the company sought partnership in response to advocacy activities from NGOs both from the North and the South.
