When Uganda's Bujagali Hydropower
Project was revived in preparation for a December 2007 Board
approval, the World Bank, International Finance Corporation
(IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency
(MIGA) were faced with a new potential wave of criticism
from civil society, the media, and even member governments,
in spite of the fact that the project had meticulously
followed World Bank Group economic, environmental, and
social safeguard policies. This smart lesson describes how
active communications, openness, inclusion, and confidence
helped address critics of the project and spark the
beginning of the end of the East African country's
chronic blackouts. |
