Grand Inga: Are DR Congo's plans to build the world's largest hydropower dam still on track?
81% Informative
The Grand Inga Dam would be the world's largest hydroelectric plant on the Congo River .
It would have twice the power generation of China 's Three Gorges .
But critics point to the long delays, poor governance and the potential for environmental harm.
The World Bank has recently announced it is back in talks with the Congolese government.
DR Congo has been blighted by corruption, a lack of infrastructure and sluggish development.
Investors are also "afraid" because the Grand Inga would not show returns for decades .
China 's Three Gorges Corporation pulled out as they were frustrated with the way DR Congo President Tshisekedi was handling the project.
Environmental and rights groups worry that 37,000 residents in the Inga area will be displaced.
The World Bank returned, only for the Three Gorges to leave, suggesting DR Congo is struggling to maintain unity.
Despite DR Congo 's ambition, construction cannot begin unless funding is secured.
