Resumen
Descripción
This paper presents the Bolivia-Brazil
Pipeline Project (GASBOL) as a case study for environmental
and social safeguards analysis. The primary purpose of the
GASBOL project was to supply the Brazilian market with
Bolivian gas. The pipeline runs from Rio Grande, Bolivia, to
Porto Alegre, Brazil, a distance of 3,150 kilometers. The
Project faced significant environmental, social and
institutional complexities stemming in part from its
bi-national scope, it size and scale, and the fact that it
had to deal with two legislative frameworks, inequalities in
infrastructure, complex institutional agreements, indigenous
communities, and sensitive ecological areas. Despite these
considerable challenges, the design, construction,
implementation, and operational phases of the project were
well managed and as a result GASBOL has established itself
as a benchmark for the management of large infrastructure
projects. The project's innovative approach to
environmental protection and social support resulted in a
number of good practices and they are outlined in this
paper. It also discusses several lessons learned from both
successes and shortcomings of the project.
