National Network for Consumer Defense (NNCD)

Recently, citizens throughout Nicaragua have been confronted with the government's decision to privatize water services, putting the already uncertain future of accessibility to potable drinking water further into jeopardy. As is currently the case in Nicaragua; multiple well-known international organizations such as the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank (WB) have their role to play in pushing forward the privatization process in the third world. We shall see how the resistance is organizing in this small country through the NNCD.
