Panama
Multistakeholder meeting organised by Fundación Natura and the Panama National Committee of IUCN on 23 May 2001. A wide range of stakeholders gathered for a presentation of the WCD Report and initial discussions on how to begin working with the report. The need for a debate on the national energy sector/policy/plan and for the water sector, particularly with regard to the Panana Canal was noted by the stakeholders. The CICH (an inter-institutional commission created to coordinate the management of the water resources of the Canal watershed) joined Fundación Natura and The Panama National Committee of IUCN in volunteering to assist in gathering a representative group to steer the development of a work plan and specific follow-up initiatives to further disseminate and begin the 'Panamanization' of the WCD Report, and consider appropriate implementation mechanisms.
