Inside the UN compound, Dili, East Timor, 2001

“Bottled drinking water for staff cost the UN $4 million last year, and it was all imported (mostly from Indonesia). It has been estimated that if the local bottled-water company would have been given the UN contract, 1,000 jobs would have been created and recycling the containers would have been much smoother. It has been further estimated that the entire water system of the capital could be rehabilitated for around $4 million, giving running water to over 100,000 people, including UN personnel.”
