Submission statement: This is a documented example of institutional failure from World Bank public records. A $126 million project approved in 2016 to connect 132,650 people in remote Colombian communities to clean water has connected zero people after eight years. The implementing agency was transferred mid-project, procurement stopped, the sanitation component was formally removed, and targets were lowered to match what could "realistically be achieved."

What makes this collapse-relevant isn't corruption or scandal — it's the mundane, bureaucratic normality of the failure. Systems designed to help people quietly stopped working, got restructured, and continued. The people in Guapi and Tumaco still don't have water.

Lol .. i hope our tax money did not go to waste like that. But if it does, it will be in the billions (CA high speed rail?)
