INTRODUCTION
This report is going to focus on the complexity issues of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
(GERD). The main purpose of this report is to align the complexity issues of Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam with the issues pertaining the International Centre for Complex Project
Management (ICCPM).
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
The construction of the dam commenced in April the year 2011. It’s situated on the longest
tributary of river Nile that is the Blue Nile which is adjacent to the border with Sudan (Madani et
al, .2015). The United States Bureau of Reclamation was responsible for the choice of the site
where the dam is located together with the feasibility studies conducted between 1956 and 1964
that led to the final decision for the establishment of the dam on the Blue Nile.
