| description |
The purpose of this note is to describe
the public consultation program to date for the Nam Theun 2
(NT2) hydroelectric project and share lessons learned
regarding the process and methodologies that were used. The
Lao PDR is a large, sparsely populated country with rugged
terrain, limited infrastructure, and a weak manufacturing
base. Poverty is widespread with nearly 50 percent of the
population living below the poverty line. The options
available to provide substantial export earnings to help
fuel long-term economic growth are limited to the export of
natural resources - particularly hydroelectricity and
tropical hardwoods. The objectives of public consultation in
NT2 are to ensure that stakeholders are identified, key
social and environmental impacts are established, and a
process of stakeholder consultation and involvement in
project design and implementation is put in place. The added
transparency, resulting from the process of public
consultation, is expected to help meet important social and
environmental quality assurance objectives, which should
reduce costs. |
