BANGKOK, Jun 4 2010 (IPS) – As it took root in the rice fields across Asia, it was hailed as the solution to the hunger afflicting millions of people in the region.

The NDA was established under the National Drug Policy and Authority Act of 1993 with a mandate to safeguard the appropriate use of dru…

People in many developing countries often lack access to clean water, but the approach to remedy this problem has shifted in recent years to rely more on the private sector. Yet, as this new report and several other watchdog groups have shown, the change has been more harmful than helpful.
, the U.S.-based non-governmental organisation that published the report, has called on the World Bank to stop funding the private water sector and start redirecting its mo…
