WEST AFRICAN POWER POOL (WAPP) PÖYRY ENERGY LTD. Mount Coffee HPP ESIA and RAP 2012-09-18 ESIA Report Page 230 Strategic Priority Guideline Comments Strategic Priority 5: Recognising Entitlements and Sharing Benefits Joint negotiations with adversely affected people result in mutually agreed and legally enforceable mitigation and development provisions. These recognise entitlements that improve livelihoods and quality of life, and affected people are beneficiaries of the project. Successful mitigation, resettlement and development are fundamental commitments and responsibilities of the State and the developer. They bear the onus to satisfy all affected people that moving from their current context and resources will improve their livelihoods. Accountability of responsible parties to agreed mitigation, resettlement and development provisions is ensured through legal means, such as contracts, and through accessible legal support. Strategic Priority 6: Ensuring Compliance Ensuring public trust and confidence requires that the governments, developers, regulators and operators meet all commitments made for the planning, implementation and operation of dams. Compliance with applicable regulations, criteria and guidelines, and project-specific negotiated agreements is secured at all critical stages in project planning and implementation. A set of mutually reinforcing incentives and mechanisms is required for social, environmental and technical measures. These should involve an appropriate mix of regulatory and non-regulatory 17. Baseline Social Conditions Were analysed for the ESIA as well as for the RAP in a sufficient way for that stage of the project. 18. Impoverishment Risk This is a point of main concern of the Socio-economic Analysis. The Analysis affected population is very poor. Project impacts will be mainly positive (improving access; creation of income, although mainly temporary). Nevertheless, loss of land for cash crops could prove detrimental for affected households, and this must be compensated if and when it occurs. A solution needs to be found that the local population will also be able to plant cash crop on community owned land. 19. Implementation of the Mitigation, Resettlement and Development Action Plan 20. Project Benefit-Sharing Mechanism On the other hand, it has also to be seen that the project, by producing cheap and reliable energy, will contribute to the reduction of poverty not only in the project area, but ultimately (provided access by means of expanding the grid is granted) in the whole country. A RAP is being prepared as part of this assignment. It will have to be implemented and, where required, updated during the process. The affected population expects improved access, electrification of the villages, and health and education facilities and jobs. The economic situation in the project area will certainly improve. Conclusions: Important aspects for the future planning and implementation process. The Project is on track. 21. Compliance Plans These rules for plan implementation will have to be established. A monitoring system will have to be implemented which will ensure compliance of the project, during construction as well as during operation, 22. Independent Review Panels for Social and Environmental Matters with the conditions defined during the planning phase. Such a panel is recommended. It is important that it is being maintained throughout the planning and implementation process (until measures are implemented in a satisfactory way). 23. Performance Bonds This would be an option, to be decided. 24. Trust Funds as above 25. Integrity Pacts as above Conclusions: Compliance with the plans, once they will have been established, must be ensured.

Regulatory and compliance frameworks use incentives and sanctions to ensure effectiveness where flexibility is needed to accommodate changing circumstances. Strategic Priority 7: Sharing Rivers for Peace, Development, and Security Storage and diversion of water on transboundary rivers has been a source of considerable tension between countries and within countries. As specific interventions for diverting water, dams require constructive co-operation. Consequently, the use and management of resources increasingly becomes the subject of agreement between States to promote mutual self-interest for regional cooperation and peaceful collaboration. 26. Procedure for Shared Rivers The St. Paul river is an international river, since it originates in Guinea. However, Mt. Coffee HPP, being located in the lower reaches of this river near the coast, will not affect this upstream country in any way. For this reason, the condition of the guideline (notification of and cooperation with riparian states) is not applicable here. Nevertheless, the spirit of the guideline can also be applied within one country (e.g. different provinces with different needs and conditions, as is certainly the case here). Conclusions: Not of concern in the present case.
