The Bujagali power dam is especially “a very emblematic project” for France’s idea of African development and the G20, Henri de Raincourt, the French Minister for Cooperation, has said.
Speaking during a guided tour of the dam on December 8, Raincourt described the project as one of the “most important projects in Uganda.”
“The implementation of sustainable infrastructure, capable of opening up the most remote areas, to provide the required energy to both urban and rural areas or even to draw a link between regions, is a necessity for any sustainable and environmentally friendly development project. Indeed, it is equally essential for peace and stability of countries,” he said
