[ingodirectors] Comments on Draft SEDP 2011-2015

[Marko Lovrekovic]

Dear colleagues and friends,

Thank you for your inputs and comments on a preliminary draft of the 
Socio-Economic Development Plan (SEDP) 2011-2015. I have compiled them 
into a joint document (see attached) and submitted to UNDP, which is the 
focal point for NGOs. On a related subject WWF prepared a set of 
additional comments and shared it with UNDP. I attached the WWF's 
comments as I thought that you may find it useful.

Warm regards!

Marko
