PROJECT FEATURED IN:

Koukoutamba (ex-Gourbassy) Multi-purpose Dam

Construction of the Koukoutamba (ex-Gourbassy) Dam to regulate the Senegal River in four countries via a multipurpose dam located in Guinea. The project will include an electricity generation component in Mali and Senegal.

DESCRIPTION

The project involves the construction of the Koukoutamba multi-purpose dam (previously known as Gourbassy dam) between Mali and Senegal.

A feasibility study and preliminary design for the Gourbassy Dam was completed by SNC LAVALIN International in 2012 for the OMVS Secretariat (Haut Commissariat de l’OMVS), with funding from the World Bank under the project PGIRE 1. The main summary report is dated July 2012.

Since then, some (rather modest) progress has been made on further project preparation and mobilisation of finance. Activities that have been undertaken include: preparation of terms of reference for detailed design studies and tender documents. The preparation of studies to assess the cost of building the dam; and development of plans to mobilise finance, including planning for a donor round table and sending out funding requests to potential partners has been done.
