The struggle over water. The plan to privatise the urban water supply system by March
2003 has become a defining battlefield. For the poor, the commercialisation of water,
combined with lack of investment in the sector and regressive socio-economic distribution,
is a key factor in their povertystriken situation. At the heart of the issue are questions
of need versus profit, and whether water is a right or a commodity. GYEKYE TANOH- KATHY
CUSACK. |
KENYA
The stark realities of an ideological
orthodoxy. Kenya has embarked on privatisation without
any discernible ideological reservations. Far from achieving the goal of good governance,
privatisation so far has widened the gender gap, made water more expensive than oil and
turned patients away from hospitals untreated. In fact, privatisation has spread economic
risks throughout society while channelling economic gains to the few. KENYAN SOCIAL WATCH
COALITION |
MOROCCO
On the way to deepening social
inequalities. The privatisation policy is only one
aspect of the Structural Adjustment Plan. Initially considered as a means to submit public
companies to more rigorous management rules, today it is no more than an instrument to
achieve the objective of budgetary balance and to have exceptional income to reduce the
foreign debt and recover the confidence of capitalist partners. Health and education are
undergoing an underhand process of liberalisation that will worsen social inequality
rather than help provide access to services or ensure their efficiency. LUCILE DAUMAS

Less State, fewer benefits. While applying structural adjustment programmes in the mid-1990s
the government designed and implemented a sweeping plan for the privatisation of public
companies. Since 1989, 27 public companies have effectively passed into private hands. The
result has been the deterioration of the education system and the public health service,
the degradation of food production and security, increased unemployment and the growth of
exclusion and inequalities. ABDOUL SOULEYE SOW |
SOUTH AFRICA
The widening gap between rich and poor. The democratic gains of South Africa’s 1994 transition
rapidly came under pressure as the new leaders adopted neo-liberal policies in the face of
demands of the poor majority for rapid socio-economic transformation. At the time,«12
million South Africans did not have access to clean drinking water, 21 million did not
have access to adequate sanitation … and more than 20 million had no access to
electricity,» while 87% of the land was in the hands of about 60,000 white farmers.

The damage of declining public
investment on services. Liberalisation and
privatisation policies, and the new terms of international trade, have had negative impact
on the national economy and the socio-economic status of the population. The decline in
public investment in services has reflected negatively on human development, as indicated
by the decline in calorie intake and the increase of the population under the poverty
line. It was also reflected in the almost total failure to realise any of the
government’s targets in the fields of health, education, drinking water or
sanitation. DR. HASSAN ABDEL ATI DR. GALAL EL DIN EL TAYEB |
TANZANIA
Benefit of an elite at the expense of
the poor majority. While some businessmen and investors
cite GDP growth and higher efficiency as positive results of liberalisation, civil society
finds that economic reform measures have reduced government services in communities,
increased individual costs for social services, and caused job losses. The results have
been regressive, as a small minority have benefited while the majority have become further
impoverished and disenfranchised. |
TUNISIA
Democratic deficits in the midst of
liberalisation. In 1987, following a crisis in the
balance of payments, Tunisia entered a structural adjustment programme, aimed at
liberalising the economy and cutting the State’s role in competitive economic
sectors. From 1997 onwards, the government accelerated the process and started selling
companies that were not losing money. Civil society has been unable to exert pressure on
the government to prevent decisions being made contrary to the interests of the majority.
SALAHEDDIN EL JORSHI |
UGANDA
Privatisation versus the poor. Although in some areas such as telecommunications and electricity,
the liberalisation has improved quality, in others, the improvement is hardly cosmetic.
While most of the poor and rural population do not have access to basic services, for
women in particular privatisation has increased their work load. So that those excluded
receive better basic services it is necessary to develop policy and regulatory mechanisms
that reinvest the resources generated by privatisation in the social infrastructure. DAVID
OBOT |
ZAMBIA
Poverty in the midst of the market:
the Zambian scenario. At present, 73% of the population
live in poverty. Of these, close to 59% are extremely poor, with the majority being women
and children. In addition to income deficiency, the poor lack access to adequate food,
health and educational facilities, safe water, clothing and shelter. The PRSP is a weak
response to poverty’s alarming proportions, while agriculture liberalisation has not
benefited domestic farmers, due to high tariff walls and heavy subsidies in Western
markets. MICHELO HANSUNGULE |
