Expert Group Meeting: The use of non-renewable
resource revenues for sustainable local development: challenges and
opportunities for developing countries
New York, September 21, 2007
The meeting provided a platform to stimulate discussion
on the use of non-renewable resource revenues for sustainable
development at the local level in developing countries. Speakers from
four countries discussed the performance and the impacts on the
ground of development programmes, projects and activities financed by
revenues from natural resources, in selected countries from Africa and
Latin America.
The meeting was intended as a first step towards a broader comprehension
of the efficiency and effectiveness of use of natural resource revenues
at the local level for sustainable development and growth. It was hoped
that the confrontation of experiences from countries at different levels
of development and operating within different institutional models of
local development will shed light on the constraints that limit and
conditions which favor the effective and equitable use of natural
resource revenues at the local level.
The meeting agenda was built to bring together the perspectives of
various countries and various stakeholders, including field researchers
and non-governmental organizations working on issues germane to the
conference topic.
Presentations made by the speakers at the
meeting are now available.
The report of the meeting is now available
(download).
