The World Bank 's Land Conservation Project

The world bank had policies created for the countries that were asking for economical help, but these were not evaluated and were made without assessing culture and economic capacity of each country.

7. How do the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and the World Trade Organization deal with environmental issues in developing countries?

Based on what I read, the IMF and the World Bank are good organizations. The purpose of them it's to prevent economies crises and when they were founded, help to rebuild economies affected because of war. However, I found one project on the internet shows the opposite. The support for this project from World Bank gave was indirect because one of its own organizations, the International Finance Corp provided loans to an American company

The World Bank, created in 1944, was made to provide assistance to poverty-stricken or financially unstable countries around the world. Although it originated as an amazing idea, today the World Bank sometimes causes more harm than benefit in the countries that it intends to assist ("International Monetary Fund and World Bank," n.d.). One example of this is the Chixoy Power Project the World Bank funded in Guatemala. In 1978, the project was started " with the intent of “bringing development” to Guatemala" (Russell, 2015). However, this project leads to one of the most horrific genocides in Guatemalan history.

On paper, the World Bank has great potential to assist all members of our increasingly smaller world. However, the World Bank is also an example of when history is written by the victors. In 1944, members of the allied countries and other nations which had risen to power during the Second

Research and find one project of the World Bank or the IMF that created problems for the nation that received its assistance. Describe the project and what the negative outcomes were.

The World Bank and the IMF are among the two most corrupted financial institutions to exist today. They're also two of the wealthiest institutions in the world. While they were created after WWII supposedly to help countries recover in during harsh conditions or during economic troubles, they have seemingly done the opposite. They manipulate poor countries by giving loans out to countries that are in such harsh conditions that they must accept the loans. Once they do accept the loans, it becomes a never ending maze of debt. Examples of this corrupt dealing exists still today in countries within Africa. The institutions charge huge amounts of interest and place special conditions on the loans that are accepted which creates a great amount debt. Quickly,

One of the projects that caused unforeseen consequences was the World Bank’s funding in the Polonoroeste Program in the late 1980’s. This program was designed to build a highway (NAME OF HIGHWAY) into north western Brazil and incorporate this region into Brazil’s ascending economic machine. This project was partially funded by the World Bank (WHICH SECTION FUNDED IT? For how much?). The Polonoroeste Program had some foreseeable objectionable outcomes as well as outcomes that were completely unanticipated. Through negative publicity generated by this project, the World Bank was forced to restructure itself to account for environmental concerns.

is accomplished through loans to struggling countries. In addition to the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation was annexed to provide loans to corporations who are seen to help aide in poor countries’ development. These three organizations

I do not believe that it is possible for the World Bank to assist nations with fair loans since the government entity were the previous colonial masters to nations receiving these loans. This is also reinforced by the fact of few actual examples of these loan programs aiding bowering nations. Loan programs provided by the World Bank give predatory nations access to a countries internal economy and the ability to structure to that it benefits their global interests. The word predatory has been used several times in this paper to describe the World Bank but with the largest donors being countries like the United States, France, and Germany, where capitalism is the doctrine can that be disputed? How are to expect these countries to not to capitalize and further their financial interests when history and geopolitics show this to be the

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.

The World Bank’s initial aim was to help rebuild European countries destroyed by World War II. In the 1950s and 1960s, the focus shifted to large infrastructure projects such as dams and roads. In the 1970s, the Bank’s attention shifted to poverty eradication where efforts focused on urban development and food production. At this time the Bank began offering structural adjustment loans. In the 1980s, the Bank enlarged its focus to social development such as education and good governance. More recently, the Bank has seen many successes. In 2013, over 3,000 women in Ethiopia benefitted from a special line of credit for female entrepreneurs backed by the World Bank. In addition, a health sector support program in Cambodia financed 280 health centers, 12 non-communicable disease clinics, 15 maternity wards, and a pharmacy. The program led to health care coverage for three million people and a 27% increase in babies delivered by trained personnel. Lastly, the World Bank supported efforts in 2010 to deliver clean water to Beirut citizens. They funded a water infrastructure project that supplied water to over 350,000 low-income residents in the Southern Beirut suburbs. Despite its many successes over the years, development experts still question the effectiveness of the World Bank, which this paper will determine.

In the late 1990’s, Malawi was facing financial hardships due in part to an AIDS epidemic. Gauding. The country reached out to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help. The IMF imposes strict rules that countries looking to obtain financial aid must adhere to, in many cases causing the country in need severe social problems, including in the case of Malawi when they asked for aid to help mitigate the unfortunate circumstances that had left many in the country in severe poverty, a poverty that had developed to the level that the poverty itself was causing death and health problems in the form of starvation and lack of basic medical solutions. The IMF stipulates that the countries it offers aid to must stop giving subsidies to its citizens. Gauding. In the case of Malawi, the local government was giving subsidies to farmers for nitrogen fertilizers, which allows food to be grown to feed the nations people. Once the IMF demanded a stop to these subsidies, the rate of starvation sky rocketed.
