When building large dams, benefits to local communities can go hand in hand with broader national development objectives, shows a study launched today by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) and IIED (International Institute for Environment and Development) at the World Water Forum in Marseille.
Sharing the water, sharing the benefits examines six dams built in Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso, looking into how they affected local people's lives and development opportunities. It shows that securing access to local development benefits can be achieved by involving communities in the planning and construction of dams.
