In the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline, the Nam Theun 2 Dam in Laos and now the Ilisu Dam, funders have responded to public pressure by approving projects under social and environmental conditions. In the case of Chad-Cameroon and Nam Theun 2, they haven't bothered to make sure the conditions are actually implemented after they approved funding. See an update on the three projects and a comment on the credibility of Western funders in my blog posting, Will the Ilisu Dam Drown Out Western Credibility?
