Abstract: Abstract Representatives of the World Bank and the IMF offered as the ultimate defence of structural adjustment programmes that flawed as they might be, no one had produced a viable alternative in practice. At one level this defence could be seen as the structural adjustment equivalent of the famous Catch-22:1 to be viable a structural adjustment programme required funding; the main sources of funding for SSA countries were the Bank and the Fund, which had no intention of funding programmes other than of their own design; ergo, alternative adjustment policy packages invariably proved inviable.
