World Bank Investigation Confirms Serious Problems at Yacyretá Dam(São Paulo) Following an 18–month investigation of the troubled Yacyretá dam on the Paraguay–Argentina border, the World Bank’s Inspection Panel has concluded that the project violates four separate World Bank policies on 14 different counts. The policies cover environmental assessment, involuntary resettlement, and project supervision, monitoring and evaluation. Yacyretá Dam View this page in: Español
Yacyretá Dam on the Paraná River has been under construction since 1979. At this writing, a battle rages to increase the height of the reservoir, thus putting 80,000 people in danger of being flooded out. Investigations by the World Bank and Inter–American Development Bank have shown that authorities of the bi–national company EBY are unable to handle the devastating social dislocation that raising the reservoir would cause. |
