Coordinadora Civil
Fri Jun 23 2006
The resident representative of the IMF in Nicaragua, Humberto Arbulu-Neira, forwarded to the Coordinadora Civil (Nicaragua) a copy of the letter in response to the questions that numerous persons sent by e-mail to Managing Director, Rodrigo Rato, motivated by the campaign that the Coordinadora impels together with Intermon Oxfam (Spain). The mobilization is for the elimination, reduction and/or flexibilization of the IMF conditionalities in Nicaragua.
Coordinadora urges the networks and organizations of Nicaragua to refute with their own arguments, collective or individually, the expositions of this letter, especially in the topics that they affect and/or that are a priority for the work of each organization in particular. Civil society organisations all over the world also will be able to take part, adhering or giving testimony of their own experience. Now Intermon Oxfam and Coordinadora Civil are preparing a joint statement.

External debt
In the last two decades, the external debt has been a huge problem that third world countries have to face. This situation has generated a “spiral of poverty” where once inside it, is very difficult for developing countries to get out.
World Bank
The World Bank's main self-proclaimed objective is to eradicate poverty. Yet, evidence suggests that its programmes often harm the poor and the environment.
International Monetary Fund - IMF
The IMF is one of the most powerful international organizations. Its policies change the lives of millions of people in developing countries.
