Briefings & reportsArtículos 1 al 9 de 91¿A quién se le facilita la energía? Influencia de las políticas de las IFIs en el sector energético de NigeriaA pesar del discurso en sentido contrario, la cartera del Banco Mundial en materia de energía no logra aun obtener frutos del beneficio doble que otorgarían las energías renovables en cuanto a atender tanto la pobreza energética como el cambio climático. Las políticas económicas de Nigeria configuradas por el Banco Mundial y el FMI han conducido hasta ahora a un proceso disfuncional de privatización de la electricidad - con una fuerte y hasta ahora infructuosa dependencia de la reforma del sector del gas, y el fracaso en lograr cualquier avance considerable en materia de pobreza energética y energía renovable. read article... Facilitating whose power? WB and IMF policy influence in Nigeria's energy sectorDespite rhetoric to the contrary, the World Bank's energy portfolio still fails to reap the double dividend of renewable energy technologies that would tackle both energy poverty and climate change.

Double majority decision making at the IMF Implementing effective board voting reformMany have championed the use of double majorities at the IMF board in order to increase the ability of developing countries to influence decision making.
