Active Bankwatchers History We launched Active Bankwatchers in September 2002, to coincide with the World Bank and IMF meetings in Washington, DC. The World Bank/IMF aren't our only targets, though. The main aim of Active Bankwatchers is to increase public involvement in reforming International Financial institutions - especially the World Bank (WB), the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The IFIs think nobody is watching them. We want to let them know that we are here and that ordinary people are watching what they do. Over the past six months, Active Bankwatcher have helped to fight against EU plans to fund a nuclear reactor in Romania, EIB and EU funding for a controversial motorway in the Czech Republic, an environmentally destructive gold mine in Romania, and a hazardous Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Project and a aluminium smelter in Iceland. Many Active Bankwatchers have sent us copies of the official responses they have received in reply to their letters, which are published in the Archive of the Active Bankwatchers Action Alerts. You can sign up for Active Bankwatchers at the above form, or send the page to your friends with the click of a button. All you need to do to join is enter your name, country and email address. We will send you a confirmation email, and then you'll start receiving news, Action Alerts, and our newsletter, Bankwatch Mail. The Active Bankwatchers web page also contains links to current and past campaigns, and other sections of the Bankwatch web site are full of information on International Financial Institutions. We always appreciate questions, comments or suggestions about Active Bankwatchers.
