Stop Gibe 3

The Italian and Chinese governments and potentially the European Investment Bank are currently financing the construction of a dam in Ethiopia that threatens the livelihoods of 500,000 people in both Ethiopia and Kenya.

The Gibe 3 dam on the Omo river, if completed, will;

• End the river's natural food cycle
• Reduce water flow to Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya
• Devastate the UNESCO recognised ecosystems of the Omo and Lake Turkana

The construction of the dam has been approved in violation of Ethiopian law and various international conventions and contravenes the standards set by the independent World Commission on Dams.
