Africa, with some of the world’s greatest waterways, has the greatest potential in the world for future water resources and hydropower development, and the most urgent need for accelerated development. Unlocking the vast potential of the region is the key to poverty alleviation and rapid socio-economic development.
A post-Conference study tour will give delegates a chance to visit the Gibe I and II schemes in operation, on the Omo river, and the 1870 MW Gibe III scheme currently under construction. These schemes together form the Gibe-Omo cascade.
