101. Reinvigorating Growth In Bolivia, Remarks By Anoop Singh, Director, Western Hemi

It is also a great pleasure to be meeting under the auspices of Camara de Industria, Comercio y Servicios de Santa Cruz (CAINCO). Through these conferences, and in many other ways, CAINCO is playing a vital role in promoting the national dialogue on economic policies in Bolivia, and today's theme of productive growth and poverty reduction is clearly central to the concerns of all of us interested in promoting Bolivia's long-term development. 3. The IMF is deeply committed to working with Bolivia and helping it achieve its clear potential and reduce its persistently high poverty and inequalities. Exactly ten days ago, the IMF's Board completed the first review of Bolivia's stand-by arrangement, recognizing the good progress that has been made in recent months to stabilize Bolivia's macroeconomic situation after the turbulence of earlier this year. We are also continuing to work hard with other members of the international community to help the Bolivian government put together a longer-term economic program, which could be supported by our Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility.

     Extractions: Table of Contents Jinn Home Page Search Net-Links ... YO! Date: 04-12-00 Bolivia's government blamed violent protests here this past week on narcotraffickers. In fact, the real blame lies squarely with a multinational's efforts to wrest profits from supplying water. PNS commentator Jim Shultz, executive director of The Democracy Center (www.democracyctr.org) lives in Cochabamba, Bolivia. COCHABAMBA, BOLIVIA A week of enormous, often violent, civil uprisings here left at least seven people dead, more than a hundred others injured and flashed pictures of the nation abroad that made leaders here very nervous. The government was quick to blame. Spokesman Ronald MacLean told the few international reporters here after the first demonstration, "I want to denounce the subversive attitude absolutely politically financed by narcotraffickers." The recent demonstrations can come as no surprise to Bechtel executives or the Bolivian government. In January, general strikes shut Cochabambino down for four straight days. To end the protests, the Bolivian government promised to force rates down a promise broken within a few weeks. When thousands tried to march peacefully here on February 4th, President Hugo Banzer, called out police and hammered people with two days of tear gas, leaving 175 citizens injured and two youths blinded. In March, a survey of more than 60,000 residents found 90 percent saying the water system should be returned to public control. When residents staged a shutdown, the Bolivian government announced that the corporation must not leave.

The country is divided into three distinct regions : the Altiplano, or region of high plateaus; the Yungas, deep, wooded and well irrigated valleys; and the Llanos, or Eastern Plains. The Altiplano has an average height of 3,800 m. Most of the population and industry are concentrated in the northern part .of the plateau. The southern part of the country is arid. The Yungas region starts from the foothills of the Eastern Cordillera, where many valleys begin. It is a fertile region whose activity is mainly agricultural. Most of this region becomes swampy during the humid season (December-February); however, the land remains above water and is good grazing ground. Finally, the Eastern Plains, with a tropical climate, cover more than half of the territory and the region is crossed by many tributaries of the Amazon.

     Extractions: Water Privatization in Bolivia The World Bank, which was partly responsible for the uprising in Cochabamba, Bolivia, earlier this year over privatization of the water supply system, is now joining in the finger-pointing exercises of placing blame elsewhere. You can get the whole story at www.democracyctr.org/water.html Our Response to the World Bank June 6, 2000 Christopher Neal (via e-mail) Dear Mr. Neal, This letter is in response to your May 10 e-mail to us regarding the recent civic uprisings over water prices and water privatization here in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Please forgive our delay in responding. We were both traveling outside the country when your message arrived. We appreciate you taking time to represent the World Bank's official view on the events that happened here. We assume that you are a person of goodwill whose concern for the poor is genuine. However, as residents of Cochabamba we must say that your representation of the World Bank's role in the tragedy that occurred here is seriously incomplete. As you well know, following the completion of water privatization here last January, the people of this valley saw their water bills climb by double and more. To seek recourse they were forced to shut down their city for a week, and to endure government tear gas, bullets, and repression which left a 17 year old boy dead and more than 100 others injured.

     Extractions: The declaration of martial law in Bolivia last year as a response to nonviolent protest against water privatisation exposes the relationship between the military and economic interests. Chris Ney talked with prominent Bolivian activist Oscar Oliveraabout the impact of World Bank privatisation programmes, the mass mobilisation of concerned citizens, and the response of the state. Chris Ney Following massive protests against the privatisation of the nations water supply, the Bolivian government had declared martial law. A leader of the Bolivian movement, Oscar Olivera, escaped the repression just in time to join the Washington protests, arriving to a heros welcome. As he applied for his US visa, he told the international press, I think that when the economy is globalised, it is important to globalise the fight for the people.

113. Bechtel Perspective On The Aguas Del Tunari Water Concession In Cochabamba, Boli
     The Bolivian government turned to the private sector in the late 1990s In April, the Bolivian government rescinded its contract with Aguas del Tunari.  
     http://www.bechtel.com/newsarticles/65.asp
     
     Extractions: Numerous news accounts and commentaries have mischaracterized the water concession in Cochabamba, Bolivia, held by Aguas del Tunari, 27.5 percent owned by Bechtel. * Below are some of the most commonly misrepresented and underreported aspects of the Cochabamba water concession, which was terminated in April 2000. The Bolivian government turned to the private sector in the late 1990s to operate the city's water and wastewater system because the local utility had rendered it a shambles. The utility's financial losses had led to mounting debts and declining service. Service was unavailable to 40 percent of the city's population. What water came out of the tap wasn't healthyand typically wasn’t available for much of the day. Most of those without connections resorted to buying unhealthful water from the operators of tanker-trucks at exorbitant ratesseveral times higher than what they'd pay if they could hook up to the system. Residents who had connections suffered an inequitable rate system. Low-volume, poorer users paid more per unit than high-volume, wealthier users. High-volume users had little incentive to conserve scarce water resources.
