About Us

Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS International) was established in India in the year 1983. Having implemented projects on various elements of social and economic policy issues in India, CUTS realised over time that its experience as a civil society organisation (CSO) aiming to influence public policy through research would be vital in evolving an informed civil society in other parts of the developing world as well.

Pursuing this goal, CUTS has established its Africa Resource Centres in Lusaka in 2001, and int Nairobi in 2003.

This has also helped CUTS in promoting ‘South-South Cooperation’ on trade and development, and strengthen long-term capacity of both non-state and state actors to address equity and accountability issues.
