Christian Aid, in collaboration with a number of Bolivian civil society groups, has produced a new report examining the quality of participation in the Bolivian Poverty Reduction Strategy process. It points out that Bolivia has long been viewed as a model structural adjustment performer, but that inequality has become increasingly severe. It finds that civil society’s participation in Bolivia’s PRSP was “a mixed experience” which has been celebrated somewhat simplistically by the international community, with little attention being given to some of the harsher lessons and mistakes.
