World Movement for Democracy

::The World Movement for Democracy is a global network of democrats, including activists, practitioners, academics, policy makers, and funders, who have come together to cooperate in the promotion of democracy.
::The Washington, DC-based National Endowment for Democracy (NED) initiated this nongovernmental effort with a global Assembly in New Delhi, India, in February 1999 to strengthen democracy where it is weak, to reform and invigorate democracy even where it is longstanding, and to bolster pro-democracy groups in countries that have not yet entered into a process of democratic transition.World Movement for Democracy - About Us, accessed 21 May 2008.
==Funding==
::U.S. taxpayer revenues cover the cost of having NED function as the logistical and infrastructural secretariat for this multifaceted democracy movement. Annual State Department allocations cover the four NED staff members who oversee the network from their positions in the office of NED's president. Most of the project funding for NED's WMD, however, comes from right-wing foundations in the United States, led by the Bradley Foundation, which has provided the startup and general support funding for an array of other neoconservative foreign policy projects, including the Project for the New American Century.
::Although the World Movement for Democracy states that it "does not advocate positions on particular political issues," the network's Web site and publications, such as its e-zine DemocracyNews, largely reflect the U.S. government's foreign policy positions with respect to countries such as Venezuela and Cuba.World Movement for Democracy: Made in the USA, by Tom Barry, Antiwar.com, 4 August 2005.

Peter Sibley... co-founded VNR business World Television in 1991.FOCUS: BROADCAST PR - Transatlantic crossing - UK broadcast PROs are learning from their US counterparts. by JULIETTE GARSIDE PR Week UK 28-Apr-00 
==Working for the British Government==
On its website World Television states that it "understands that governments can use television actively to sow a deeper, broader understanding of key policies and ideas. It can also improve perceptions of a country overseas. Positive information covers editorial subjects ranging from political news, business, culture, environment, health, science, technology and sport." 
	
In 2002, the British government "launched a little-known television propaganda service that seems to mimic the U.S. government's deceptive approach to fake news," writes David Miller. British Satellite News (BSN) is produced by the company World Television, which "also makes corporate videos and fake news clips for corporations such as GlaxoSmithKline, BP and Nestle." BSN reports are sent to more than 400 stations worldwide and used regularly by 185 stations, including those in Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia and "14 of the 17 Middle East countries." 
Miller notes a "suggested intro" to one BNS piece that reads, "This year is not the first time an outside power has sought to construct a modern, democratic, liberal state in Iraq. Britain tried to do the same in the 1920s." Miller writes, "In reality the 1920 occupation led immediately to a popular revolt that was ruthlessly suppressed. A puppet monarchy was imposed, which was neither 'modern' nor 'democratic.'" 
World Television describes BSN as "the world's most successful public diplomacy broadcast news service, on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office." and that it has also "produced Towards Freedom Television on behalf of the UK Government. Towards Freedom was a daily Arabic language television service, which allowed the coalition to deliver a balanced news and information service direct to the people of Iraq."

World Water Council

The World Water Council (WWC) was established in 1996 by the United Nations and the World Bank and acts as an “international multi-stakeholder platform.” Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke point out that the WWC’s main task is “to provide decision makers with advice and assistance on global water issues"Maude Barlow & Tony Clarke (2002) 'Blue Gold: The Battle Against the Corporate Theft of the World's Water', Toronto: Stoddart Publishing Co. Limited, p.158.. WWC claims that its mission is to “promote awareness, build political commitment, and trigger action on critical water issues at all levels, including the highest decision making level, to facilitate the efficient conservation, protection, development, planning management and use of water in all its dimensions on an environmentally sustainable basis for the benefit of all life on earthWorld Water Council, About Us, accessed 22 February 2006.. In addition, the council “aims to reach a common strategic vision on water resources and water services management amongst all stakeholders in the water community”World Water Council, About Us, accessed 22 February 2006.. 
Currently, the WWC has dedicated its operations to advancing the water-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), all of which are consistent with the Dublin Principles which promote the idea that water is an economic good. Water related MDG’s include a broad range of topics that are encapsulated by four major themes: (i) Water, Human Rights and Politics, (ii) Water, Institutions and Financing Capacity, (iii) Water Services and Infrastructure, and (iv) Water and Environment. Related to these, the WWC council focuses its efforts in three key areas: (i) Politics and power structures, (ii) Development and improvement of policies and institutions, and (iii) Implementation of impact of policiesWorld Water Council, Strategy and Accomplishments, accessed 22 February 2006.. .In addition, the WWC is the catalyst and organizing body that hosts the triennial World Water Forum – a meeting that is notorious for bringing together the most powerful actors associated with the commodification and privatization of fresh water resources. To date, the final reports from all four World Water Forum conferences strongly favour private sector participation with respect to the provision of fresh water goods and services.
Critics of the WWC call attention to many of the organization’s high-ranking officials who have close ties to global governing institutions and private industry. WWC’s president until January 2005 was William Cosgrove, and ex-World Bank consultant. The acting president, Loic Fauchon, is also president and director general of Groupe Des Eaux de Marseilles – a water company owned by water giants Suez and VeoliaAnn-Christin Sjolander Holland (2005) 'The Water Business: Corporations Versus People', Black Point: Fernwood Publishing, p.114.. Rene Coulomb, from the water corporation Suez, is one of the three founding members of WWCHolland (2005), p.114..
