This publication—Volume 2—features in-depth case studies on how local benefit-sharing approaches are put into practice. The case studies provide an inside look at the opportunities and challenges for hydro project developers as they strive to incorporate benefit sharing into their operations. The experiences of projects detailed here serve to underscore the complexities associated with identifying an optimal path—and the importance of attending to the unique circumstances of the individual project and affected communities. Clearly, there is no single one-size-fits all approach or template that companies can follow to achieve optimal outcomes, especially since what represents an optimal outcome will vary from project to project, even with the same sponsors.
