For example, a background that includes previous conflict and displacement of populations canhave an impact on trust, environmental degradation, andaccess to resources, which also shape projects and need to be considered during project planning and implementation. Environmental degradation can impact the renew- able energy system design and dictate other activities that the users will need to carry out for the system to continue working properly. A common example is reforestation activities in the upperwatersheds of small-scale hydro systems. The implementation process of projects is another hypothesized driver. Pre-feasibility studiesmustbeconductedtodetermineifprojectsare technicallyandeconomically feasible, and to highlight relevant social concerns. Having proper operation and maintenance (O&M) planswill ensure that the systemwill continueworking and providingbenefits after the donor and implementers are gone. 11.4 Analysis 11.4.1 Meeting theTripleObjectives The results show that, under certain circumstances and design considerations, renewable energy projects can simultaneously meet these three objectives, and Table 11.4 Indicators andmethodologies Historical andenvironmental backgroundof locations: Previous conflict (for example, civilwar) Literature reviewand surveyquestion (towho?)
