traversing peoples lives
The report 'Traversing Peoples Lives' critiques the World Bank's financing of the Chad-Cameroon Oil and Pipeline Project, documenting widespread community disruption in Cameroon. Key issues include the marginalization of indigenous Bakola/Bagyeli peoples, inadequate compensation for farmers, pollution of drinking water in multiple villages, the rise of child prostitution, and poor labor conditions. The authors conclude that the World Bank's safeguard mechanisms failed and that the project serves as a warning against public financing of large-scale fossil fuel projects.
