The nature of hydro financing means that governments have toenter into long-term commitments to private developers, which might be favourable under currentconditions but may look very different in the future.How can the state ensure that it is getting fair value for its resources? Can we learn from otherresource-based extractive industries?Before the matter is thrown open for discussion, a small panel of experts will briefly address thisissue by answering specific questions posed by the ChairmanTUESDAY 18 OCTOBER ~ MORNINGSession 10: Civil EngineeringChairman: Dr Yannis Thanopoulos, PPC, Greece❚❘ Site management and supervision of infrastructure projects in developing countries – R.

Feasibility studies went ahead earlier thisyear which promise to move this long debated development a major step forward. Our RoundTable Discussion aims to bring together key stakeholders: the Government of DRC, the AfricanDevelopment Bank and other financial experts, the Consultants now undertaking feasibilitystudies, and other technical experts who are contributing their expertise to the design of the schemes.Session 13: EnvironmentCo-Chairs: Dr Cecilia Tortajada, Scientific Director, International Centre on Water andEnvironment, Zaragoza, Spain; and, Dr M.A. Gomez Balandra, IMTA, Mexico❚❘ Does size really matter?
