Student lunch with Ikal Algelei (RSVP Required): Dams, Human Rights and Local Livelihood in Lake Turkana Region, Ethiopia

Angeli founded Friends of Lake Turkana (FoLT) in response to the proposed construction of the Give III Dam, a project that could threaten food security and local economies of a half million people in Ethiopia and Kenya. As a result of the organization's work, major dam financers such as the World Bank withdrew funding and the Kenyan Parliament demanded independent environmental assessment of the dam's impact.Also sponsored by BorderWork(s) Humanities Lab and the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies.BAY 5, SMITH WAREHOUSE, BorderWork(s) Lab.RSVP REQUIRED:
