Developments at the CCA
The Centre for Corporate Accountability in the UK has very sadly had to close down due to funding difficulties. Its activities in Bangladesh have been taken over by a new organisation, "Safety and Rights" and the former CCA staff in Dhaka are working for this new organisation.
