> Request for nominations of developing country participants
>
> Dear colleagues,
>
> My name is Jean Lennock and I have recently started working with Paul
> Isenman and Stephanie Baile at the OECD Development Co-operation Di-
> rectorate on secondment from WHO to support the work of the POVNET
> Subgroup on Poverty and Health.
>
> I am pleased to inform you that the next meeting of the POVNET Sub-
> group on Poverty and Health is scheduled for 20 February 2001 at the
> OECD in Paris. This meeting will discuss the next draft of the Report
> on Poverty and Health and a first set of reference papers prepared by
> Subgroup members for inclusion in the report. The agenda will be cir-
> culated early in the New Year together with the documents for discus-
> sion.
>
> At recent meetings, Subgroup members emphasized the value of involv-
> ing partner countries in current efforts to produce guidance on aid
> effectiveness for pro-poor health. We would like, therefore, to pro-
> pose inviting about ten developing country representatives to par-
> ticipate in the next meeting.
>
> We will rely on your own networks to identify potential participants
> and would be grateful if you could nominate personalities who would
> match the following criteria:
>
> Participants from both government and civil society who should com-
> bine expertise in poverty reduction and health and have a good under-
> standing of the links between health outcomes and poverty reduction.
> In addition, they should be familiar with the key issues related to
> aid effectiveness. In considering potential participants, Members may
> wish to keep in mind the need for gender balance, geographic spread
> among countries and continents, and adequate representation from both
> central and local government. Civil society should be understood in
> the broadest sense to include not only development NGOs, but also
> elected nationals and local officials, representatives from academia,
> professional associations, private enterprises, and community organi-
> sations.
>
> We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a short profile
> of the participants you suggest explaining the rationale for their
> selection as well as indicating their coordinates (e-mail, fax,
> phone, and address). This will greatly facilitate the final selection
> of participants and alternates.
>
> Due to the organisational demands of arranging this partnership meet-
> ing, we would like to receive your nominations before 10 December so
> that invitations can go out prior to the Christmas holiday.
>
> We look forward to receiving your suggestions.
>
> Yours sincerely,
>
