News from Public Citizen's Water For All Campaign

**********

 

World Bank Watch is a quarterly newsletter which monitors World Bank

proposed (pipeline) loans in the water and sanitation sector. The World

Bank continues to promote privatization and cost recovery policies

despite evidence that increased cost recovery and privatization reduce

access, raise the price of water for the poor, exacerbate inequities,

and reduce local control.

You can forward this information to other groups and protest the

conditions to the World Bank task managers identified with contact

information for each of these projects. Cost recovery and privatization

are in the interest of multinational corporations, not the people.
