See you then! -----Original Message----- From: Paula Holland Sent: Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:42 To: Bhaskar Rao; Mary Power; Allison Woodruff; sopac-ism-edf; Cristelle Pratt Cc: 'Ray Greer'; Paula Holland; Arti Vandna Naidu Subject: Economic analyses and the EDF Dear all You may recall that Emily McKenzie conducted a study in 2005 to identify economic analyses that assist in the EDF study. We are happy to advise that we have now secured a consultant to lead the first of the recommended economic analysis. This analysis will concern an economic and financial feasibility assessment of the exploitation of aggregates identified under the EDF in Kiribati. A consultant, Dr Ray Greer, has been selected to conduct the work while training up a local counterpart, Kaon Tiamere, in the conduct of economic analyses. A copy of Ray's CV is attached. Due to Ray's existing work demands, the economic analysis is to take place very soon with Ray arriving in Suva this weekend. We hope that you will forgive the short notice. We have scheduled for Ray to spend a couple of days at SOPAC to prepare for the economic analysis in Kiribati. It would be good to take the opportunity to hold a short meeting to enable you to meet Ray and hear about the analysis he will lead. This will be all the more valuable given that we would probably use Ray to conduct some of the other economic analyses that Emily recommends, providing that we are happy with this first one. In that case, I would like to invite you all to a short meeting in the EDF conference room on Monday 26 June at 2 pm. A draft agenda is attached but this is open at present. Essentially the purpose in the meeting is to: ? Brief EDF staff on the status of planned economic analyses for the EDF; ? Introduce of Ray Greer, consulting economist, who will be undertaking the first (hopefully of several) BCAs; and ? Brief EDF staff on the broad approach to the first economic analysis of the EDF and enlist your assistance as necessary. I hope that you will be able to participate in the meeting as your experience in this project is clearly immense and the success of the analysis will hinge greatly on the input of many of you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Alternatively, I look forward to seeing you on Monday. All the best Paula.
