Conferences on Policy Issues in the Fragile
Lakes
and Lake Basins of East Africa
Back to Plea Homepage
With funding from other sources, we seek a larger and longer-term
comparative study of these African, and possibly Latin American lakes, by a
core of Third World and other natural and social scientists. A series of
conferences and workshops will convene biological and social scientists with relevant government ministries
responsible for lakes and water resources policies. In these meetings of
"owning nation experts," we seek to identify policies urgently needed
now without further research, targeted research mandated by identified
problems, and human resources and training required to implement these
policies and research programs and to monitor the lakes and basins.
This conference program was launched in 1994 with
The Symposium and Conference on Africa's Fragile Lakes
