United Nations. Organization: Global Interest in People with Disabilities According to the latest reports of the United Nations Organization, people with disabilities are the world’s largest minority. They are 6ȷo million people representing about кo% of the global population on earth. According to the Morld Health Organization (MHO), this figure is increasing through population growth, medical advances and the ageing process. In countries with life expectancies over 5o years, individuals spend on average about 8 years, or кк.ȷ% of their life span, living with disabilities. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) stated that 8o% of persons with disabilities live in developing countries.к The UN Special Rapporteur declared in 2ooo, “In all countries, in all types of living conditions, the consequences of disability interfere in the lives of disabled persons to a degree which is not at all accepted.”2 These facts have been one of the decisive factors that spurred an increasing international interest in improving the conditions of people with disabilities.

As a result, 68 transboundary aquifers have been identified and the book “TRANSBOUNDARY AQUIFERS IN THE AMERICAS – Preliminary Assessment”, the first of a 3-volumes publication, will be published by the end of November 2006. Furthermore a directory of 150 national experts was published and distributed to the countries; and 6 case studies were selected. The case studies of Artibonite-MasacreTransboundary Aquifers (Haiti/Dom. Republic) and Yrendá-Toba-Tarijeño (Argentina/Bolivia/Paraguay) were considered of primary importance and selected for project implementation, to be financed by GEF funds.
