The World Bank began a three-year pilot initiative to develop a framework for enhancing development benefits to local communities in hydropower projects. There has been a wide array of approaches in the past two decades that all have in common the objective of designing and implementing means and mechanisms to ensure local communities a more equitable share of project benefits. The World Bank intends to design and test a framework of enhancing development benefits that can be applied to hydropower projects and that can be tailored, at the same time, to the particular circumstances and characteristics of individual projects. This initiative is based on the hypothesis that hydropower projects planned in environmentally and socially sustainable manner can provide a large range of development benefits to local communities. Structure of this report: chapter one provides an introductory background to the literature review briefly explaining the current context of hydropower projects, the scope of the assignment and the structure of this report. Chapter two offers the core of the intellectual discussion by describing the approach and methodology utilized for the literature review, by describing the existing literature on benefit sharing in hydropower projects, by stating the constraints in enhancing development benefits and the existent gap in the literature. Finally, chapter three offers the main conclusions on the outcome of the literature review on enhancing development benefits to local communities.

Infrastructure plays a significant role in the economic development of a country. The role of infrastructure is even more important in developing countries that are ravaged by poverty and sluggish economic growth rates. The contribution of infrastructure to economic growth and poverty reduction has been established theoretically and empirically. Due to the inherent characteristics of infrastructure, including the huge amount of resources required for investment, the public sector still plays a pivotal role in the provision of infrastructure particularly in developing countries. Scarcity of resources demands that the allocation of resources to an infrastructure project needs to be based on the efficiency of its usage. However, due to difficulties in observing the Pareto efficiency criterion, compensation test criterion is chosen as the basis for economic analysis for finding an economically desirable resource allocation. Though an economic analysis is undertaken for resource allocation decisions particularly by the multinational development banks, decisions are often based on an incomplete analysis. While the changes in welfare of all affected individuals in a society need to be measured to assess the desirability of a project, the changes in welfare brought about through the project’s environmental and socio-cultural effects are often ignored. Accordingly, this study is aimed at analysing the role of infrastructure in the development of a country and the consequences of discrepancies in assessing economic desirability in practice from its theoretical foundations. The results of the study show that while infrastructure is significant for the economic development of a country, there is a difference in the practice of economic analysis from its theoretical foundations. While it is necessary to include changes in welfare from project’s impacts on both market and non-market goods, in practice the welfare effects from non-market goods are often ignored. The results of the empirical study on a hydropower project in Nepal show that ignoring such changes in the welfare of individuals in the project-affected areas, through environmental impacts of the project, prevent the economic analysis from depicting a project’s true economic desirability. The study states that while infrastructure might be economically desirable at the national level, it may result in welfare losses among people in the project area. Ignoring such a project’s costs would conceal the uneven spatial distribution of the project’s welfare effects, which could not only be a potential cause of dispute and conflict in the project-affected area but also lead to investment in infrastructure that may be detrimental to the pro-poor growth strategy of the country.

Can Compensation Prevent Impoverishment? contributes significantly to the international public debate on development-caused displacement and resettlement. The book rejects the long-held thesis that compensation is in itself enough to restore and improve the livelihoods disrupted by displacement. Instead, the authors of this volume, a group of the world's best known resettlement scholars-sociologists, anthropologists, economists, ecologists and legal experts-recommend changing displacement policies, laws and practices, by adding investment financing and ex-post benefit-sharing to full compensation. Can Compensation Prevent Impoverishment? comes at a time when those displaced are increasingly opposing impoverishment by forced displacement. Their voices, argue the authors, speak of basic needs and human rights, and must be heard.

In response to the growing energy demands and decarbonization pressure, Chinese authorities plan to invest more in hydropower development. However, there are concerns about the possible effects on macroeconomy and environment. This paper uses SinoTERM, a dynamic multi-regional computable general equilibrium model (CGE) of the Chinese economy, to analyze the economic impact of large hydropower development projects. The model features regional labor market dynamics and an electricity subdivision module with substitutability between various types of electricity generation. The results suggest that hydropower development will boost economic growth in the project region. Most sectors in the project region will benefit from the hydropower while some sectors will suffer a loss in output because of the substantial increase in real wages. Neighboring regions also benefit as a result of increased electricity supply in the operational phase of the proposed hydropower station. The impact of the hydropower development project on the national GDP as a whole is relatively small although positive. However, because of the long lag between the construction and operational phases, the hydropower development project will result in a national welfare loss measured by real household consumption and net foreign liability. Therefore, the project could only be justified if net environmental benefits outweigh this loss.

Ethiopia is a country where over 90% energy demand is supplied through traditional sources with over use and extinction of natural and traditional sources exploring new sources are the compulsion of the economy. Simultaneously, with rising population industrial activities are also increasing which propel the energy demand. The objective of the article is to seek out the impacts of the Gilgel Gibe III hydro power project on the community development. Taking integrated approach several important factors concerning to community development have been investigated such as health, ecology and environment, employment opportunities and its impact on income dynamics, infrastructure. In the study efforts also have been made to know the impacts on cultural, religious, historical and archeological sites. The study is mainly based on secondary data. However to support the work some primary data through local residents and the university students were also taken. Informal discussion with the officials involved in the project and local people around the Omo river valley, the project sites also have been held to know their personal opinion and expectations from the project. The analysis of the available data reveals that the project has positive impact on the community development. It concludes that the project might be a milestone for the community development, and benefits for the people living in the region. With commencement of the project, economic activities in the region have already been started and providing several non-traditional business opportunities which opens new opportunities of employment. Moreover the change due to hydroelectric project is expected to transform the communalities with measurable impact. The project has has a multidimensional role to play in the development at various levels - community, regional as well as national.
