Africa, Dams and Development
A panel discussion organised by the Oxford Water Network and the Oxford Martin Programme
on Resource Stewardship
Monday 24 November @ 4pm GMT
Lecture Theatre, Oxford Martin School, 34 Broad Street (corner of Holywell and Catte
Streets), Oxford, OX1 3BD.
This event will be live webcast at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1WyG0Xs99E
Africa faces formidable development challenges in the 21st Century, with expanding
populations and accelerating urbanisation; rising demand for water, energy and food;
greater hydrological variability predicted with climate change; and persistent poverty and
inequalities. Dams seem to promise an appealing package of benefits to meet Africa's
development needs - they can reduce floods, store water for irrigation, provide energy for
burgeoning populations and facilitate regional integration. Yet, the benefits and costs of
dams are not distributed evenly and new large dams are planned that could alter the
political, social and water landscape of the region. What is the role for dams in
Africa's development? Can they give African countries the boost they need for growth
and poverty alleviation, or will they only serve to exacerbate environmental problems,
conflict and existing inequalities?
Moderated by Dr Rob Hope, Oxford University
