INTRODUCTION 1.1. PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1.1. Background The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) was set up in 1999 by the countries bordering the Nile, except Eritrea, with a view to tapping the economic development potential of the Nile Basin. The member countries of NBI are: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. The initiative is based on a common vision of "achieving viable socio-economic development through equitable harnessing of the common resources of the Nile Basin and fair distribution of profits generated". The Nile Basin Countries thus opted for implementation of this vision through a Strategic Action Plan integrating projects both at the basin and sub-region levels. In addition to this Plan, two subsidiary action programmes were put in place. These are (a) the Subsidiary Action Programme for the Nile Oriental region consisting of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan and (b) the Subsidiary Programme for the Nile Equatorial Lake countries of Burundi, RDC, Egypt, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. It is in this latter NBI context that NELSAP - Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Programme resolved to organize field solidarity action in order to combat poverty, promote economic growth and reverse the environmental degradation of the region. Thus, twelve multinational projects including hydro-electric energy and electrical interconnections were identified.

Regional Rusumo Hydro-power Project The REGIONAL RUSUMO FALLS POWER-PLANT PROJECT (RRHP) is a Nile Basin Initiative key project prepared through NELSAP. Within this framework, the governments of Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania have agreed to develop a Joint Development Project with the primary objective of generating hydroelectric power (80MW) that will be shared equitably among the three countries. The Rusumo Power Company Limited (RPCL) is the owner of the Rusumo Power Project. The company was created by the three countries to design, develop, construct, finance, insure, own, operate and maintain the Rusumo Hydropower Facility. The RPCL has delegated to NELSAP CU i) the implementation of procurements and the provision of supervision services of the construction of the Generation Facility and (ii) the construction of the Generation Facility. 1.1.3. Project Highlights The RRHP project has completed the preparation phase and is now moving to the implementation phase. The selection process of the contractors CP1 and CP2 is ongoing. After the pre-qualification of contractors and the preparation of the bidding documents, the bidding documents were submitted to pre-qualified contractors in December 2015. CP1 Pre-qualified firm submitted their bids on lt April 2016 and the evaluation process started immediately. The project submitted CP1 Evaluation report to the WB for No objection on 1 9 th April 2016. The Project received comments from the WB on 26th April 2016 and the review process is ongoing. For the CP2, the bids were received on 3 ' May 2016 and the Evaluation report was submitted on 2 6th May to the WB for No objection. The Project received comments from the WB on 2 nd June and the review process is still ongoing. The environmental and social risks of the Rusumo Falls Hydropower Project are evaluated as high and impacts as significant. Consequently, the Run of River (RoR) Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) were finalized in March 2013. From that period, the Safeguard team engaged in the RAP implementation and the major activity was the land acquisition and compensation. With the completion of land compensation, the Social team is now engaged in the Livelihood Restoration Program planning and Implementation. The livelihood restoration is part of the RAP and aims to enabling PAPs to fully restore their livelihoods. Fenraj Consell Moore Stephens December 14, 2016 Regional Rusumo Falls Power plant Project- Final audit report Other Social activities included the collection of additional baseline information to facilitate future PAPs livelihood monitoring, grievance redress monitoring and the development of Induced In- Migration Management plan. On the environmental side, it was judged important to have additional environmental baseline information including the fish baseline survey, the spray zone biodiversity survey, the water quality baseline study and water hyacinth study. The baseline studies will provide information against which further results from monitoring will be compared to appreciate any change resulting from RFHP construction and operational activities. The biodiversity of the Rusumo spray zone and Fish and Fishery baseline survey were finalized and the water quality baseline study is ongoing. In addition, the project is planning to undertake water hyacinth management study to understand water hyacinth importance and mitigate its potential impacts on the power plant. The TORs for the water hyacinth study were developed, approved by the Bank and advertised to recruit a consultant to undertake the study. 1.1.4. Project Cost and Financing The table below summarizes project costs in US$ million and the percentage contribution of IDA financing per component.. The main co-financiers for this project are the Africa Development Bank (AFDB), which will provide parallel financing for Component B (construction for the transmission lines).

The hydroelectric scheme will operate as a Run-of-River scheme and there will be no water storage reservoir created upstream of the dam. However the scheme will modify the seasonal flooding regime of the upstream marshland. Also the Kagera River flowing over the Rusumo Falls and along a 500 metre stretch of river downstream from the dam will be bypassed. There will be no changes in hydrology further downstream. This ESIA addresses the environmental and social impacts associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning of the structures and facilities.

Since 1994 the British media have been charged with fail- ing to report genocide; yet a focus on print media has created a void in under- standing how BBC’s Newsnight covered events.

  • Case Studies on Local Benefit Sharing in Hydropower Projects
    Case Studies Capturing on Local Hydropower’s Benefit Sharing in Promise Hydropower REPORT SERIES Projects In partnership with: Acknowledgements These case studies were prepared by Eduard Wojczynski, who was commissioned by IFC to carry out the research as part of Manitoba Hydro International. An IFC team led by Maria Arsenova, with research support by Amanda Diaz and Anna Vorotniak, provided overall guidance, support, and additional content. The research was supported by a Manitoba Hydro International team that included Elissa Neville and Thomas Restiaux. Ann Moline was the editor and Rikki Campbell Ogden designed the publication. The team thanks the experts, companies, and communities that participated in developing these case studies, including those associated with the Wuskwatim, Miel, Rusumo Falls, Theun-Hinboun expansion, SN Aboitiz Power, and Tina River Hydropower projects. The author is especially grateful to the community members and hydro personnel interviewed during the field visits to Theun-Hinboun expansion in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (communities of Phonthong, Phousaat, Sopphouan, Nong Hang) and Miel in Colombia (La Habana, Moscovita, San Jose, Norcasia, Sasaima, Victoria). The author also expresses his gratitude to the leaders and community members of the five Indigenous communities in Canada that patiently worked with him in his role as the developer’s project manager on several hydro projects. These include: the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation on the Wuskwatim project and the Tataskweyak Cree, Fox Lake Cree, War Lake Cree, and York Factory First nations on the Keeyask projects. The team gratefully acknowledges the government of Japan for its generous support. During the process of developing this volume of case studies, the team benefited from additional advice and guidance from multiple sources.
