Click here:  Send an email to the head figures of the World Bank Group to urge them to adopt the recommendations of their own review on the negative impacts of World Bank financed oil, gas and mining projects. click here:  It's no time for a party to celebrate the IMF and World Bank';s 60th Birthday. The institutions have left many harmful legacies over the past 60 years, but perhaps none so debilitating from the perspective of human development and justice as the DEBT. The legacy of the IMF and the World Bank is that, today: Africa pays $15 billion in debt service each year to the IMF, World Bank and rich country governments. This is more than the continent receives each year in aid. Debt service to creditors including the IMF and World Bank accounts for almost half of the Philippines' annual budget, double the amount the government spends on social services; Haiti, the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere, pays twice as much on debt service as it does on health care, while the IMF/World Bank have denied Haiti access to even limited debt relief; When money is released from paying debt service, it has been used to fight poverty -- Uganda nearly tripled school enrollment. But the IMF/World Bank's debt relief program is limited to too few countries, does not provide 100% debt cancellation, and forces countries to adhere to harmful conditions that increase poverty.
