The Accord Index
A shared visibility infrastructure mapping animal advocacy across Global South.
The Accord Index is a public, searchable directory of organisations, individuals, and projects working on animal advocacy across Global South.
It exists to make the movement visible to itself.
Why This Infrastructure Exists
Across Global South, organisations and activists often work in isolation.
The Accord Index closes this visibility gap.
What the Index Does
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Maps organisations | Who is working where, and on what |
| Lists individuals | Skills, professions, and areas of interest |
| Tags projects | Campaigns, sanctuaries, legal work, investigations |
| Enables search | By country, city, issue, or project type |
| Prevents duplication | Visibility before new work begins |
The Accord does not intermediate contact. Users connect directly.
Who It’s For
| User | Value |
|---|---|
| Organisations | Find peers, avoid duplication, explore coordination |
| Funders | See who is active in a region or issue area |
| Activists & professionals | Find organisations, mentors, or collaborators |
| Researchers | Map gaps, overlaps, and movement growth |
| The Accord | Build thematic windows and coordination pathways |
Geographic Focus
The Index is anchored in Global South.
Organisations outside these regions may list only if their work focuses on Asia-Africa contexts.
Open and Free by Design
| Principle | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Free to list | No cost for organisations or individuals |
| Free to search | No login required |
| No membership required | Independent of other Accord infrastructure |
| Self-managed | Users control and update their own profiles |
| Privacy-aware | Visibility levels are user-controlled |
Relationship to Other Accord Infrastructure
| Infrastructure | Role |
|---|---|

| Thematic Advocacy Windows | Aligns when action happens |
| Integrity & Alert System | Signals where caution is needed |
Together, they form visibility, coordination, and protection infrastructure.
