The aim of our field trip was to assess to what extent the conditions (ToR = Terms of Reference) attached to the German, Austrian and Swiss export credit guarantees for the Ilisu dam project have been fulfilled, six weeks prior to the end of the six months suspension period of the export credit guarantees. The focus of our research was on resettlement issues. We talked to persons in charge of the resettlement planning ei- ther within the Turkish Water Authority DSI or as consultants in Ankara. Afterwards, we visited the Ilisu region and talked with affected villagers in Ilisu, Hasankeyf and several other places.
