Summary
<p>The Angololo Water Resources Development Project (AWDP) is located on the transboundary Malaba River shared by Kenya and Uganda and falls within the Sio-Malaba Malakisi (SMM) River Basin of the Nile Basin. The project is located at coordinates 0.693243&Acirc;&deg;N, 34.306400&Acirc;&deg;E. The project consists of a proposed 30 m high dam with a reservoir capacity of 43.0 MCM and hydropower generation capacity of 1.75 MW. The dam will supply potable water to 20,000 people and irrigate 3,300 hectares (1,180 ha in Kenya and 2,120 ha in Uganda). The project also includes rehabilitation of the 430 km2 watershed upstream of the dam. In total the Angololo Water Resources Development Project is expected to benefit at least 127,300 people from Tororo, Manafwa, and Namisindwa districts in Eastern Uganda and Busia and Bungoma Counties in Kenya through employment creation, irrigated agriculture, piped water supply, hydropower generation, and livestock and fisheries production.</p>
<p>The Angololo project was identified by Kenya and Uganda in collaboration with NELSAP-CU under the Sio Malaba Malakisi (SMM) River Basin Management (RBM) project. NELSAP-CU conducted its prefeasibility studies in 2010 with grant financing from the Royal Government of Sweden and the Royal Government of Norway. Feasibility studies (including detailed designs, ESIA and RAP studies and stakeholder engagement) commenced in 2019 with a US$ 1.5 million grant from NEPAD-IPPF and are expected to reach completion in 2021.</p>
