Descripción
The technical workshop on enhancing
development benefits to local communities in hydropower
projects was held in Washington, D.C., on June 26, 2008. It
was hosted by the Social Development Department (SDV) and
Water Anchor (ETWWA) of the World Bank. The workshop aimed
to provide a platform for a discussion of past and current
practices, as well as how to construct development benefits
mechanisms within the specific context of hydropower
projects. It also provided a forum for sharing knowledge as
to how development benefits mechanisms may be applied to
Bank-financed projects. The workshop had five sessions and
brought together more than 60 experts from different sectors
in different regions of the World Bank. Sixteen speakers
gave presentations. The workshop had discussions on
enhancing development benefits to local communities in
hydropower projects and also covered issues pertaining to
the broader range of benefit-sharing, including World Bank
engagement in hydropower projects, legacy of hydropower,
notion evolution, approaches and mechanisms, and good
practices in benefit-sharing of hydropower projects. A range
of mechanisms are available to enhance and share benefits.
Benefit-sharing consists of a combination of monetary and
non-monetary mechanisms adapted to specific project
contexts. Monetary development benefits are linked largely
to economic rent, fair distribution, full compensation,
entitlements, national priorities, and optimization of
opportunities, and include basically taxation, royalties,
preferential rates, revenue sharing, development funds, and
joint ownership. The non-monetary development benefits
include, for example, allocation of fishing rights in
reservoirs; priority hiring of local community members
during construction; start-up support for local companies;
capacity building; multipurpose infrastructure; rural
electrification; and access to improved infrastructure.
