SAPRIN is a world-wide network of civil society organizations challenging the imposition of structural adjustment programs (SAPs). The Network is working with citizens’ groups in 12-15 countries to organize public processes to determine the real impact of World Bank-and IMF-supported economic-reform programs and to chart a new course for the future. It is collaborating with the Bank and governments in 8-10 countries (SAPRI) and with parliamentarians and various institutions elsewhere. The Network contends that structural adjustment programs have had disastrous consequences for the large majority of citizens in the 80-plus countries in which they have been implimented.
