A Platform for a Swedish Stakeholder Process to Discuss Large-Scale Water Infrastructure
2004-09-30
The Swedish Water House facilitated a dialogue process among a broad group of stakeholders to develop a common policy on large-scale water infrastructure development. This process was a national level follow-up initiative to discuss the recommendations from the World Commission on Dams and its report that was released in November 2000.
The overarching purpose with this specific process is to establish criteria that can assist actors to identify what could be considered to be ecologically, socially or economically unsustainable dams or other large-scale water infrastructure projects. This could form the basis to determine if future Swedish involvement in such projects is appropriate or not.
The stakeholder dialogue process consisted of both restricted working group meetings and open seminars and hearings. The process lasted 15 months and will ended in December 2005.
The World Commission on Dams report involved members of all concerned stakeholder groups represented in Sweden.
