- 5. Idetiational power on dams in the Nile Basin • Power/electricity is a critical requirement for regional growth • Hydropower is the preferred energy source for most of the Nile countries • Why hydropower is the most attractive option? Renewable energy, pollution free, long economic life, reliability of supply, cost-efffective, deliver multiple benefits, etc

Editor's Notes
- Counter–hegemony: lessons from transboundary and social justice movements about alternatives to the status quo Purpose: To investigate how the status quo can be challenged, through justice, law, soft power, or other means
- "Multi-level counter-hegemony in the Nile region: how the construction of large-scale dams is changing the hydropolitical relations between and within the Nile countries": This presentation aims at analysing the hydropolitical changes in the Nile Basin region and to look specifically at the resistance and counter-hegemonic nature of the actions taken in favour or/and against the construction of large-scale dams in the region. The Nile region will be used as an example of multi-level counter-hydro-hegemony, looking at examples at diverse examples of resistance at global, regional, national and local level concerning the construction of dams in Sudan (Merowe, Kajbar), in Ethiopia(Gilge Gibe III and Grand Renaissance Dam) and Uganda (Bujagali).
- Strong resistance at global and local levels
- Strong resistance at regional level
- To investigate how the status quo can be challenged, through justice, law, soft power, or other means
