US think tanks lauds World Bank’s fund freeze to Tanzania over abuses
The executive director of the Oakland Institute, a policy think tank based in California, is welcoming a World Bank decision to suspend funding for a tourism project in Tanzania following allegations of human rights violations. The institute complained to the World Bank a year ago about potential violations of its own policies. Executive Director Anuradha Mittal, tells VOA’s James Butty, the suspension of funding should send a resounding message to the Tanzanian government that there are consequences for those who violate human rights to boost tourism.
