Representatives from hydropower companies and industry-related professionals will meet in Yangon, Myanmar to establish the sector’s first Hydropower Developers’ Working Group (HDWG) and register as a private sector-led association.

The Hydropower Developers’ Working Group will be an innovative platform for companies to influence policy, network, and identify solutions to improve sustainability and business operations of the hydropower sector in Myanmar.

At this first general forum, interested members will learn about the intended benefits of the group, discuss their expectations, learn how to join, network with other professionals, and become acquainted with the executive founding committee, led by local and international hydropower companies. Government officials from several ministries will also attend.

Supported by IFC and the Australian government, the HDWG plans to meet quarterly to tackle pressing issues in their sector as prioritized by members.

To attend this event, please register by 5 August 2016. To register please send your full name, designation and contact information to Ms Kate Lazarus, IFC Senior Operations Officer.
