The newsletter collects news from around the world on privatization in water, health, energy, education, municipal and other government services, PPPs and related issues. From the next edition, we will include a regional focus and calls for action. The newsletter is produced in English, French and Spanish and you can subscribe to the languages of your choice by filling in the form on the PSI website. The newsletter is part of PSI’s Global Anti-Privatization Campaign.
Quality public services are the foundation of democratic societies and successful economies. They ensure that everyone has equal access to vital services, including health care, education, electricity, clean water and sanitation. When these services are privatized, maximizing corporate profits replaces the public interest as the driving force. PSI will continue to develop its global anti-privatization campaign: to focus on the drivers of PPPs; the role of the World Bank and the IMF; the link between development and privatization; how privatization is promoted by the G20 and OECD, and to strengthen our work at the sectoral level.
You can read and download the past and current editions of the newsletter and subscribe to it on our website.
Please do share this new tool with your staff, members and research associates who might find it useful.
The last edition of the newsletter includes a short survey. We welcome comments and contributions from you, please contact sandra.vermuyten@world-psi.org
We look forward to your feedback,
In solidarity,
Rosa PAVANELLI
General Secretary
