Economic development in low income countries leads to significant social, environmental and cultural change.
One scheme in Uganda is to increase electricity generation by building more hydroelectric dams. The work of researchers at The University of Oxford’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science (ICCS) aims to ensure that new developments such as this not only ‘do no harm’, but actively bring benefit to both the environment and local communities.
In this activity students use a range of resources to build a case study about the positive and negative impacts of this scheme.
Learning Outcomes:
- Students learn about the environmental and social effects of an economic development initiative in a LIC.
- Students write a case study looking at the positive and negative impacts
