Definition

  • Jubilee 2000 refers to a coalition of networks across the world made up of development-oriented nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), faith-based groups, trade unions, and other labor and protest groups advocating against the neoliberal policies and conditions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The goal of this social movement was to persuade Western governments and major donor institutions to cancel the increasing debt burden of the world’s poorest nations, also called the heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs), by 2000.
