By Luiz Vieira| Bretton Woods Project@ In January 2025, Bloomberg reported on deeply concerning behaviour at several private hospitals, from Uganda to the Philippines, supported by funds from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank’s private investment arm. These hospitals, when faced with people unable to pay user fees, reportedly denied emergency care, detained patients and even kept corpses until payment was received, driving families into poverty.
By Luiz Vieira| Bretton Woods Project@ Ethiopia is facing challenges in reaching an agreement with bondholders under the much-criticised G20’s Common Framework for Debt Treatments (CF) after its 2023 default, highlighting the need for structural reform of the current ad hoc international debt restructuring system (see Observer Spring 2023). Ethiopia defaulted on its debt obligations when it missed a $33 million payment on a $1billion bond in December 2023.

Bretton Woods Project
The Bretton Woods Project is a civil society organization established in 1995 that focuses on monitoring and challenging the policies of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Its vision is to create a global economic system grounded in justice, equity, human rights, and environmental sustainability. The project aims to ensure that international institutions are democratic, inclusive, and accountable to citizens, especially the most vulnerable populations. The Bretton Woods Project serves as a watchdog and advocacy group, conducting in-depth analyses of World Bank and IMF policies and their impacts on global development. It amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly in the Global South, and provides avenues for their expression. The organization also facilitates collaboration with global groups to promote equitable and sustainable development policies. Its outputs include research reports, policy briefs, and newsletters that inform stakeholders about relevant developments in international economic policies.
