Integrated Water Resources Management in Latin America and the Caribbean
(12/98, ENV-123, En, Es) See also Environment and Natural Resources
This paper contains the strategy of the Inter-American Development Bank for its involvement in integrated water resources management in Latin America and the Caribbean, in response to the mandates of the Eighth General Increase in the Resources of the Bank.
The strategy was developed through an iterative step by step procedure in which country water resources officials, Bank upper and middle management and technical staff, consultants, nongovernmental organizations and international lending and technical assistance organizations were consulted.
The strategy draws from a background paper and initial exploratory survey made in six LAC countries by two consultants commissioned by the Bank and discussed at the seminar on the subject held at IDB headquarters in November 1995 with the participation of staff from the Bank, USAID and other Washington-based international lending and technical assistance organizations. A strategy profile was then presented to the Policy Committee of the Board and consulted with Washington-based environmental NGOs and organizations.
