The Minimum Economic Recovery Standards and the production of the third edition would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of all the individuals who have been involved, in one way or another, in this revision process. We would like to sincerely thank the 150-plus practitioners and leading experts that contributed to this broad consultative process and attended the regional consultation workshops held in Washington DC, Geneva, Dakar, Panama City, New Delhi, Beirut, and London. Acknowledgement should also be given to the expert readers who provided valuable comments on drafts for the MERS handbook.
