>> request for an interview
>>
>> Dear Ms. Torres:
>>
>> We would like to request you for an interview for inclusion in the
>> Development Gateway's upcoming online Special Report on Public Sector
>> Transparency. Your perspective and experience uniquely qualifies you for
>> his discussion, and your participation would add tremendous value.
>>
>> In April 2005, the Development Gateway will launch a new online
>> special Report titled "Public Sector Transparency: What Works?" The lack
>> f transparency in the public sector is one of the biggest barriers to
>> development today. The upcoming Special Report will explore the
>> practical issues of ensuring openness in governments around the world,
>> specifically: the regional and country-specific dimensions of
>> transparency, sustainable practices for promoting and monitoring
>> transparency, and issues surrounding the balancing of civic engagement
>> and state self-regulation.
>>
>> The Special Report will provide multi-sectorial coverage of critical
>> issues of development and include interviews, highlights, special
>> features, and resource collections pertaining to these issues. Prominent
>> international experts and opinion-leaders will be interviewed to provide
>> unique viewpoints on the issues of transparency and development from the
>> international organization, civil society, private sector, and
>> policymaker perspectives.
>>
>> The report will address key questions such as "How can developing
>> countries achieve transparency? Does involving civil society always
>> help? Who bears the costs - and are they justified? What role should
>> international organizations play?"
>>
>> To get an idea about what how it will be structured please take a look
>> at our first Special Report "Foreign Investment and Development: Who
>> gains?" (http://topics.developmentgateway.org/special/foreigninvestment)
>>
>> If you are interested in participating I will be happy to email you
>> he questions. You are welcome to respond to the questions via email or e
>> will be happy to conduct the interview over the phone. Let us know bout
>> your preference. If you would like more information about our activities
>> please visit our site at http://www.developmentgateway.org .
>>
>> Look forward to hearing from you soon
