Registration Deadline: November 16, 2009
Following the successful model developed in 2008, the EGAT Office of Infrastructure and Engineering has developed a workshop that will address issues concerning Infrastructure for Rebuilding and Developing Countries. The workshop will be held over 4.5 days, from December 14-18, 2009, in Washington DC. The workshop will focus on four key areas: (1) Best practices in post-conflict infrastructure development; (2) Water and sanitation; (3) Clean energy; and (4) Building effective enabling environments and institutions for infrastructure. The workshop will also cover general infrastructure development topics such as key infrastructure trends, finance, and governance in infrastructure development.
The objectives of the workshop are to:
Increase understanding and knowledge of the role of infrastructure (water, power, communications, transport) in economic growth;
Understand key trends in infrastructure in rebuilding and developing countries;
Share information on best practices and successful models for infrastructure development and program design used by development agencies;
Understand the role of regulation, finance, governance and public participation in infrastructure;
Learn how to contact for infrastructure projects; and
