INTRODUCTION
the Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project (RRHP) is a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of citizens of the people in the three partner countries: Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania.
The Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project has completed the feasibility studies including the Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and the Resettlement Action Plan
(RAP). The ESIA and the RAP have been drafted in a comprehensive manner including consultations with local population in the project area. The two documents fulfilled the respective countries’ national laws and international safeguard requirements. The documents have also been disclosed in the three partner countries of Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda, including the World Bank and AfDB infoshop.
The RRFHP is one of the largest investment power projects in south east of East Africa. Strenuous preparations of the project have proved to guide the project from feasibility studies to implementation thereby minimizing potential risks and impacts that would rather have diverse effects on the project during implementation phase.
The project has undergone three important design phases starting with Full Development Scheme (FDS), to Intermediate Development Scheme (IDS) and of late the Run of River (RoR) Development Scheme which was the preferred development option given its reduced economic and technical risks (less social and environmental). Meanwhile governments are finalizing institutional arrangements before the construction phase starts in 2015.
The construction will slightly affect the flow and flood regime of the Kagera river. Cultivation of the marshlands within 5 kilometers upstream of the power plant in the districts of Ngara in Tanzania and Kirehe in Rwanda will be affected. The construction and operation phases of the Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project will potentially affect about 664 households in the two districts and about 247.99 hectares of arable marshland will be permanently flooded. Part of the permanently flooded area (around the project site) include the sites for dam construction, natural vegetation and residential structures.

Domestic ElectricityThe East African region; the three partner countries inclusive, have one of the lowest rates of electricity access in the sub-Sahara region. The current access to electricity in Tanzania is 21%, Rwanda at 16% and Burundi at 10%. This is no different from sister East African countries of Uganda and Kenya which have access rate of 10% and 15% respectively. Important to note also is that Tanzania has the highest number of households without electricity at 7.2 million, followed by Kenya at 6.2 million, Uganda at 5.5 million, Rwanda at 1.7 million and Burundi at 1.4 million (Source: The Lighting Africa Program-WB Report 2013).
Project developers and analysts have urged that the Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric project will reduce fuel wood dependency as most rural population in the three countries continue to heavily rely on charcoal or wood fuel, regardless of whether they have electricity or not.
rEGiOnAL ruSuMO HYdrOELECtriC PrOJECt KEY PLAYErS Rusumo Power Company Limited (RPCL/SPV): The Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project is owned by the three partner countries. Rusumo Power Company Limited (RPCL)is a company limited by shares, publicly owned and financed by the three partner states but will be privately managed. The RPCL will be responsible for the development of the power plant, including construction and project oversight.
The power utilities of respective governments on the other hand will be responsible for the transmission lines development, construction, and managing the associated Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
World Bank (WB): The Bank will finance the power generation facility (Power Plant) at a cost of three hundred and Forty million United States Dollars ($340m). This amount is considered sufficient for the generation facility and will be equally shared by the three partner countries each receiving $113.30m to be contributed towards the construction of the power plant. Burundi’s portion will be received as a grant, Rwanda’s portion will be in form of 50% grant and 50% loan, while Tanzania’s portion will be 100% loan. The project has fulfilled all the bank safeguard requirements with the approval of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) and the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). The Bank has disclosed the ESIA and the RAP on its website and infoshop and on NELSAP website: http://www.nilebasin.
org/newnelsap/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=99&lang=en
The Bank also requires the project to acquire environmental clearances/certificates from the environmental agencies of each of the respective governments. Environmental agencies of three countries have provided clearance certificates on the part of the power plant. Process is ongoing for clearance on the T. lines.The bank requires the project to notify all Riparian states of the planned project and this has been done. Four countries (Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan and Kenya) have provided no-objection letters to the project construction of the Regional Rusumo Falls Project.
Owners Engineers and Contractor: The process to recruit the Owners Engineer (OE) has been completed. AECOM/ARTELIA of Canada/France was selected as the OE for the project. The OE is expected to produce inception report by September 2014.
NILE BASIN INITIATIVEInitiative du Bassin du Nil

Six international and experienced firms expressed interest and bidded for OE slot. These include: AECOM/ARTELIA of Canada / France, Energy INFRATECH - India, SWECO/MOTT MACDONALD of United Kingdom, EDF/Lahmeyer of Germany, TRACTEBEL/SOFRECO of France, FICHNER GMBH CO & KG of Germany and AECOM/ARTELIA of Canada/France.
Recruitment of the Contractor will be initiated by the OE. The OE and the Contractor are expected to update the existing structural designs of the power plant to a Run-of River development scheme.
African Development Bank (AfDB): The AfDB Board of Directors on 27th November, 2013 approved $113m to Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Power Project, towards construction of the Transmission line component. The RRFP fulfilled the Bank safeguard policies especially those related to transmission lines since the Bank will finance the three transmission lines from Rusumo Main Substation to the respective three countries of Tanzania (98.2km), Burundi (161km) and Rwanda (119km). The financing will also cover the construction of the substations for the respective transmission lines in each country. The Bank has disclosed the ESIA and RAP reports related to the transmission lines as a requirement to finance the project. http://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Project-and-Operations/Rwanda%20-%20Scaling%20Up%20Energy%20Access%20Project%20-%20Appraisal%20Report.pdf
Other Development Partners who have shown keen interest in the project include: KfW, EIB (European Investment Bank), EU (European Union), AFD (Agence Française de Development), among others.
United States Agency for International Development (USAID): The USAID has expressed interest in the project and participated in the World Bank appraisal mission. USAID expressed optimism of participating in the project because it is a clean-energy project. And once the decision to partner with other lenders in the project is approved, USAID expressed willingness to support the capacity building component.
Governments of Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania: The governments of Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania will each receive $113.30m from the World Bank in form of loan or grant as elaborated above. This amount will be each country’s contribution towards the power plant construction.

RUSUMO PROJECT DOCUMENTS PREPARED BY
Table 2: Summary of Project Documents
The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) were based on sufficient scientific analysis with empirical evidence. The two reports highlight some impacts as indicated in Table1 above. The reports provide sufficient, acceptable and realistic mitigation measures and livelihood alternatives to affected communities.
The summaries of the two reports (ESIA and RAP) have been translated from English to French and Swahili (the language of the project area) to facilitate understanding of contents for the communities in the project area (Swahili for Tanzania communities and French for Burundi and Rwandan communities).
Consultations with Project Affected People All project-affected people (664) under the current Run of River Development Scheme, are located upstream of the power generation facility (power plant) in Kagera basin. According to the project’s Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan (PCDP), over 9,000 Project Affected People were consulted between July 2011 and February 2012. This was however during the Full Development Scheme (FDS) and Intermediate Development Scheme (IDS). With the change in Project designs from FDS to IDS to the current RoR scheme, the impacts have significantly reduced. All the 664 households (PAPs) on Rwanda and Tanzania side are consulted and updated from time to time. Consultations and communication to affected community will be an ongoing activity until construction commences which fulfills the international best practice and the World Bank’s OP 4.12 concerning Involuntary Resettlement.
