The provision of finance for fishery development is often one of the most difficult problems for the developing countries to solve for a variety of reasons, such as lack or insufficiency of data about the resource concerned, inadequacy of the infrastructure and other supporting services, low level of technical management and skills, lack of marketing and distribution, and so on. Yet there are many sources for investment funds and, indeed, an increasing availability of such funds from the national public and private sectors, and from international sources. These include governmental and private sources and cover a number of investment arrangements from direct cash participation to credit systems and joint ventures. Also included are the international finance agencies, such as the World Bank Group and the complementary regional banks. These are playing a bigger role now than ever before in fishery development. The general criteria for an investment in fisheries, steps that have to be taken before a decision can be reached to undertake an investment, financial sources and arrangements available to the developing countries, and how they can best go about obtaining the required investment funds, are reviewed.

In a past column I reported on the controversy surrounding the construction of the Pangue Hydroelectric Project by the Chilean power company ENDESA, an undertaking funded by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private-sector lending arm of the World Bank Group (see Practicing Anthropology 19(4): 35-36, Fall 1997). That column focussed on the experience of anthropologist Theodore Downing, who was retained by the IFC to evaluate the Pehuen Foundation, an organization established to channel a portion of revenues from the Pangue Project for the long-term benefit of the indigenous Pehuenche communities affected by the dam.

Over recent years, many organisations, both public and private, have been establishing an ombuds function as an informal conflict resolution mechanism to resolve work-place disputes and concerns. This article examines the establishment of conflict resolution mechanisms in international financial organisations (IFOs) including the World Bank Group and the major regional development banks in Africa, Asia, Latin-America, and Europe. The article examines the Asian Development Bank's approach in establishing an ombuds function. The articles concludes with suggestions in moving forward of the ombuds offices in the IFOs and the lessons learned for other IFOs.

Abstract The quest for urgent solution to resolve the world liquidity problem has continued to generate enthusiastic debates among political economists, policy makers and the academia. The argument has focused on whether the World Bank Group was established to enhance the stability of international financial system or meant to enrich the developed nations. This study argues that the existing political interest of the World Bank Group in Africa may serve as lesson learned to other ambitious African Monetary Union.
