Up to EUR 7m
Aspects environnementaux
A Comprehensive Mitigation Plan was established and implemented for the construction of the dam itself, which included public consultation, resettlement and substantial compensation to the people affected. The incremental environmental impact of the hydropower project is considered very limited, with any necessary mitigation measures being taken. Compliance Certificates will be issued by the Swaziland Environment Authority once these measures are implemented.
Passation des marchés
The project will be subject to international bidding published in the Official Journal of the EC in accordance with the Bank’s rules.
