Dear Colleague,You may already be aware of the World Commission on Dams which was established in 1998. It is an independent Commission set up through a multi-stakeholder process facilitated by the World Bank and IUCN- The World Conservation Union. It involves governments, NGOs, the private sector, utilities and multi-lateral institutions.
The World Commission on Dams will be holding its second regional consultation on the 12-13th of August 1999 in the Latin America Region. To get more details on the Consultation, please visit our web site <www.dams.org>.
We welcome your contributions and would be grateful for your assistance in passing on the call for submissions to your various constituencies involved in the large dams debate.
The consultations are one of the tools WCD is using to bring together individuals and institutions with differing perspectives and experiences related to large dams. The consultation will enable the Commission to listen first hand to the unique experiences from the Latin America Region.
The Commission is seeking to reach a diverse range of stakeholders in Latin America through this process. Hence our request for your assistance in reaching out to your respective networks.
With my best wishes
Yours sincerely,
