ABSTRACT

Although many older development initiatives displaced people without benefit-sharing, the literature suggests that benefit-sharing may be added, or retrofitted, to an existing revenue-producing development project. This article looks at the potential for retrofitting benefit-sharing in a hydropower project in Western Mali, using results collected directly after resettlement in the late 1980s, in 1993–94, and in 2016–18. Retrofitting a benefit-sharing program at Manantali would allow resettled populations to correct deficiencies in resettlement implementation and to meet new post-displacement challenges. Moreover, Manantali residents are better prepared now than they were at resettlement to understand the advantages and constraints in resettlement areas. Retrofitting a benefit-sharing program requires that the planners address issues of eligibility, structure, and management of the program as well as other obstacles and challenges. There is no general formula for retrofitting, but each program needs to be adapted to the particular circumstances of people, place, and infrastructure.

摘要

尽管许多较老的发展计划在没有利益分享的情况下取代了人们，但文献表明，可以在现有的创收发展项目中增加或改造利益分享。本文利用 1980 年代后期、1993-94 年和 2016-18 年重新安置后直接收集的结果，探讨了马里西部水电项目改造利益分享的潜力。改造 Manantali 的利益分享计划将使重新安置的人口能够纠正重新安置实施中的缺陷并迎接新的安置后挑战。此外，Manantali 居民现在比他们在重新安置时准备得更好，以了解安置区的优势和限制。改造惠益分享计划要求规划者解决资格问题，计划的结构和管理以及其他障碍和挑战。改造没有通用公式，但每个项目都需要根据人员、地点和基础设施的特定情况进行调整。
