Study aims to increase African hydroelectric development investment

摘要

Hydroelectric development in the Baro-Akobo-Sobat region of the Nile Basin could receive a boost if a development study attracts the sorts of investments its creators intend. Led by the Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office, which is the technical arm of the Nile Basin Initiative, the development study will support investments to finance not only hydropower but also water supply and sanitation, irrigation, flood control, drought management, navigation, fisheries, watershed management and tourism projects in the Baro-Akobo-Sobat area.
