| | International Development |
| | Since taxpayer dollars fund the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other official development agencies like U.S. A.I.D., citizens of every contributing country can and should require bank officials to be held accountable for the human rights violations and plant closings which can result from their funding decisions. | | | The money is channeled through national agencies, such as U.S. Aid for International Development, or allocated to international funding institutions, like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. | | | Widespread corruption in the handling of loans by the source country has long been considered a fundamental feature of taxpayer-funded international aid programs, and often insures that the government will default on its repayment plan. |
