Water
Policy in the Americas
Roundtable
About the Water Policy Round Tables
From October 1999 to June 2001, FIDA hosted with
IWRN
informal informal policy roundtables among experts and officials working
on water policy formulation and implementation in the Americas at the
Organization of American States - Unit for Sustainable Development and
Environment.
This monthly series was designed to provide an opportunity for those
interested in water policy in the region to exchange experiences, discuss
ongoing projects, examine priorities for action, and promote cooperative
effort. The agenda was set each month based on participants’ interests and
included dialogue on policy options and policy initiatives at the national
and regional level.
While the roundtables were designed principally to inform the
Washington-based policy community, experts from the region were also asked
to join the discussion and report on ongoing initiatives whenever
possible. Minutes of the meetings, along with copies of relevant materials
that were distributed at meetings, are available by
clicking here.
Dialogue co-conveners of this informal monthly dialog include the
Inter-American Water Resources Network (IWRN) and offices of the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the World Bank, and the US Agency
for International Development (USAID).
