WAIPA Annual Report 2011

WAIPA Report of Activities 2011-2012
Partners of WAIPA
WAIPA welcomes multilateral and
government agencies, international
organizations, NGO’s, think-tanks,
universities and select private entities
as partners in its endeavors. WAIPA
pursues partnerships in connection
with WAIPA events, training activities,
technical assistance, surveys and
related activities. We consider
partnerships based on the symbiotic
needs of the partners and WAIPA’s
members and other constituents.
Technical assistance and training
activities may be undertaken with
suitably qualified partners. Hence,
the contribution of IDB’s Investment
Promotion Technical Assistance
Programme (ITAP) is greatly
appreciated. WAIPA generally pursues
research and similar activities in
coordination with appointees to its
Consultative Committee. We have
had the privilege of working with,
and acknowledge the support of,
among others, Unctad and IEDC, as
evidenced in the letters published at
the beginning of this report. WAIPA
appreciates the involvement of its
partners and welcomes the continued
inclusion of our partner organizations
in WAIPA-directed activities.
