Rural peoples’ movements and communities demand the shutdown of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. Over the past 80 years, imperialist governments and their transnational corporations (TNCs) have used the IMF-World Bank, in collusion with their client states and local elites, to undermine rural peoples’ rights to food, land, and resources, worsening hunger, climate, and environmental crises for corporate profit.
About 43% of IMF loan programs in 100 countries from 1980 to 2014, for instance, targeted food and agriculture – of which more than 59% of conditionalities involved the abolition or reduction of state support and promotion of unregulated market forces.
