A Project Of The World Bank Or The Imf That Created Problems For The Nation That Received Its Assistance

As an employee of the World Bank, you have been asked to research 1 economic concern in a South American country and write a report on your findings.

It is essential for humans to drink water daily in order to live. Water should be a human right and not something to stress over. This is why I would fund the Cochabamba Water Collective (CWC) to assist them in sustaining water sources for everybody. Privatization and commodification of water is inhumane. Doing it on the account of human health is not the answer to the country’s economic issues. The CWC is aware of this and has crafted a water management plan to prevent it from happening. In addition of humans, economic development will also be benefitted from the plan of the CWC.

In an article by The Africa News Service, “Ten villages northwest of Kalokiting burned to ashes, making about 30,000 villagers homeless, a listener told Radio Dabanga from Koni, north of Kalokiting.” Many people were without homes because the army burned villages that people lived in. If they escaped before the bombs hit and burned the village, they lived in, they had nowhere to go, trying to find a place for a temporary shelter in the middle of the desert is not the easiest thing to do. Also, finding food and water to support their family so they don’t starve to death is hard to find in the middle of the desert. Many homeless villagers would build temporary shelters using sticks they found or they would stay under a tree for a night and move the next day to find more resources to help them survive. The main struggle was to survive due to lack of food, water, and shelter because of the bombs burning everything. In the documentary Darfur Diaries: A Message From Home, one of the men state, “A lot of people and animals were killed. Most of the huts were destroyed and burned. This was the first time we experienced this”(Bain and Marlowe et al). Many of the villagers didn’t know that the bomb was coming, and if they did it was to late, they didn’t have time to get anything ready or move their things to help

Ineffective or corrupt government makes things worse by opening the doors to illegal logging and other crimes in the developing countries. Kenyan government denies using forest land for patronage, and says the areas will be used to resettle poor, needy landless people, but in truth the forest land is being handed over by the government to supporters as a way of currying favor before the next elections. It is too bad that the poor and needy happen to actually be the rich and politically powerful people of Kenya. It is not the poor that the environmentalist and ecologist are dealing but the government and their corruption where they encourage mismanagement of resources and complain that they are poor. Before the election in 1997, Kenyan President

Today my day went off with a bad start. Tears rolled down on my cheek inadvertently as I was browsing images of frightened IDPs. Two images that attracted my attention were that malnourished mothers who were sitting helplessly in the rubble and young IDP children climbing in trees. Families are now no place else to go. The sad story is the government soldiers bulldozed their makeshift camps mercilessly without notice and by force.

Kenya’s coastal area is hot and humid tropical region. Beautiful sandy beaches, lagoons and swamps, and patches of rain forest line the coast. Inland, a vast plains area stretches over about three-fourths of Kenya. Its extremely dry climate and generally poor soil support only scattered plant life. The highlands in the southwest receive enough rainfall and offer enough fertile soil to support extensive farming (“Kenya”).

Tens of thousands of people displaced by drought and decades of civil war live in 86 camps around Kismayo alone. Thousands more have been arriving in Somalia in the months since Kenya said it would close down Dadaab, the world's largest refugee camp.This is the main focus around the article “Can Kenya close Dadaab, the world’s biggest refugee camp” written by BBC news reporter Alastair Leithead. At the height of the fighting in Somalia, Dadaab the dusty desert scrub land of north-eastern Kenya, was home to half a million people and now it is being closed down."We need our people to come back, but the problem is how they can stay here, get a livelihood and how we can support them," said General Mohamed Warsame Darwish, interior minister for the southern state of Jubaland which has Kismayo as its capital. "People have no toilets, no shelter, no water, no education, no medicine, how can they cope?" he said. There are already tenths of thousands of people living in camps for the displaced in

Angry protesting, political upset, governments falling, privatization failing, and money lost are a few outcomes that influence the public opinion on the World Bank, and its involvement in many underdeveloped countries. While the World Bank claims that reducing poverty across the globe is its foremost priority, many opponents believe that it is responsible for increasing poverty. The World Bank is a multifaceted organization that loans money to government around the world for development.

Kenya is one of the most water scarce countries in Africa and the world. Therefore, there are many areas with

Harvard Business School’s Case Study “Aid, Debt Relief, and Trade: An agenda for fighting World Poverty” outlines the steps, and missteps, that the world community has taken since World War II to address the efficacy of international assistance. The study focuses on international financial institutions (IFIs) and their ability to help poor nations break out of poverty and the possible obligations of rich, developed countries to assist the heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs). Additionally, the study seeks to see if this assistance has been and can be parlayed into growth and investment for the HIPCs.

Population expansion in Kenya is closely associated with a massive increase in demand for land, which is highly related to urban growth and increased agricultural activities. Kenya is classified as one of the water-scarce countries in the world, and land use implications on water systems have been shown to cause far-reaching consequences, both ecologically and economically. The demand for land in the region is largely fuelled

In the United States, there is one trillion gallons of water wasted (Mooney). Water is being wasted every day in the US by: leaky faucets, malfunctioning toilets and faulty sprinkler systems. While water is being wasted in the US, many underdeveloped countries such as Kenya struggle to have clean water. Many of the Kenyan residents struggle every day to find a clean water source. In the continent of Africa there lies Kenya with a population approximately of forty-six million people. A little over seventeen million people do not have access to clean safe water. More than 30 million people do not have access to a decent sanitary system. Half of the Kenyan

Kenya supports the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), which is a holistic and integrated framework for the sustainable development of the African continent. It is widely recognized that Kenya’s invaluable experience in socio-economic and development processes will be useful in constructing the
