This will entail making estimates of the economic benefits associated with implementation of the two to four hydropower projects short listed in a recently undertaken Strategic/Sectoral Social and Environmental Assessment of Power Development Options.

The consultants will conduct an analysis of different possible ownership arrangements and power sales options for regional hydropower projects and make proposals for structures needed for implementation, operation and management two to four selected hydropower projects.

3. Financial arrangements. The consultants will elaborate on specific issues pertaining to financing of hydropower projects and associated transmission network including a a generic model on how to structure and finance a regional hydropower/multi-purpose project in the Nile Equatorial Lakes Region.
