Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)

This documentary film is a medium of information and awareness for various stakeholders (policy makers, civil society, populations, technical and financial partners) about the many challenges and opportunities related to large dams in West Africa. These challenges were addressed through four sites in the region: Sélingué in Mali, Bagre in Burkina Faso, Diama in Senegal and Kandadji (planned) in Niger. This film is produced under the project "Regional Dialogue on major water infrastructure in West Africa" launched in 2008 by ECOWAS through its Water Resources Coordination Centre (CCWR).

Ce film documentaire est un support de sensibilisation et d'information des différents acteurs (décideurs, société civile, populations, partenaires techniques et financiers) sur les multiples enjeux et perspectives liés aux grands barrages en Afrique de l'Ouest. Ces aspects ont été abordés par le biais de quatre sites de la région : Sélingué au Mali, Bagré au Burkina Faso, Diama au Sénégal et Kandadji (en projet) au Niger.
