 Alternative renewable energy is a popular topic for foreign direct investment in the developing countries.

The main things for the designers of the local government investment website to bear in mind are:

1. The international competition for foreign direct investment is very intense. The potential investors have an obligation to their stakeholders to perform a thorough investment environment survey and to objectively assess the risks and benefits of each potential investment location and each opportunity.

2. The potential foreign investors prefer to have all information translated for them in their own language

3. Since there are so many countries and foreign languages involved on the investor side, local government organizations should choose, for example, their top 5-10 preferred sources of foreign direct investment investment and offer translations of their website and download documents in those languages.

For example, an Indonesian local government province, depending on its target investment sources, may have its website translations available in all or a selection of:

1. English
2. German
3. French
4. Dutch
5. Italian
6. Russian
7. Spanish
8. Portuguese
9. Japanese
10. Korean
11. Mandariin
12. Arabic

The investor's evaluation team will need to assess factors such as:

• Incentives
• Political Stability
• Social Infrastructure
• Physical Infrastructure
• Macroeconomic Environment
• Institutional Developments

The Millennium Development Goals

The investor will also want to know the country's position on the international millennium goals for topics such as:

Goal 1: Eradicating Extreme Poverty and Hunger
Goal 2: Achieving Universal Basic Education
Goal 3: Promoting Gender Equality and Empowering Women
Goal 4: Reducing Child Mortality
Goal 5: Improving Maternal Health
Goal 6: Combating HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases
Goal 7: Ensuring Environmental Sustainability
