ME-T1203 : Public Policies to Maximize Local Benefits of Wind Projects

The objective of this Technical Cooperation is to perform a detailed assessment of the benefits and impacts generated by the wind projects existing and under preparation in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec during the negotiation, construction and operation stages, analyzing the differences of its distribution in three levels: among communities, within the communities and among genders. The study will include the proposal of a model for improving the distribution of those benefits and impacts in future projects, including (i) the definition of principles for the engagement of the communities; (ii) a community development plan; and (iii) a mechanism to ensure a more even distribution of the benefits among women and men. For the development of these elements the study will ensure the proper participation of relevant actors including land owners, project developers and communities, as well as local, regional and federal governmental institutions. The study will be developed in coordination with the ¿Knowledge Management Program¿, also part of the Mexico CTF Investment Plan.
