Abstract: 
This paper looks at two hydropower projects in Cameroon—one financed by China Eximbank and one financed by a multilateral consortium led by the World Bank—to assess decisions around project financing, contracting, and implementation processes. It highlights several differences and similarities in institutional relations between project stakeholders, financiers, and contracted firms, and it examines the environmental, social and labor issues that arose in both projects. This analysis offers insight into Chinese practices around infrastructure project financing and assessment standards, as well as World Bank practices as a re-emerging donor in the field of hydropower.
