how the world bank finances community disruption
Friday, April 9th, 2010
In June 2000, the World Bank decided to co-finance the Chad Cameroon petroleum development project. According to the Bank, the project will be the first example of an oil exploration project that will directly benefit the poor. However, two years after construction has started,, communities living on the popeline route in Cameroon are facing disruption of their lands, impoverishment because of failed compensation plans, pollution of their lands, water resources, severe health problems and, in the case of the Bakola indigenous peoples, the destruction of the forests they depend on. Instead of alleviating poverty, the project has brought misery to their lives. This film was shot by the Center for Environment and Development/ foe Cameroon. Full 30 minute film available from foei@foei.org
