英文摘要	The study sought to determine the impact of Bui dam on poverty alleviation of affected persons in the Bui community. This included the identification of services and developments provided by Bui hydro plant management to the community, and the characterization of the Bui community to ascertain the areas for poverty alleviation. The random sampling technique was used to select respondents for the survey while the purposive sampling technique was used for interviewing respondents. In all, 120 respondents were used in the study. Paired sample ttest was used to determine the significant differences of variables before and after the construction of the dam. The variables include age, gender education and skills, agricultural, health, social amenities, energy, employment, household earnings and migrant status. The results showed that the dam authorities provided services and development projects for affected communities in order to alleviate poverty. The community members who affirmed the provision of electricity, borehole, communication center and housing facilities were about 73%. Employment opportunity for the middle aged in the community also increased over 75% whereas economic stability in the market was more than 80%. The paired sample t-test showed that the presence of the hydro energy had significant impact on employment, energy supply, agriculture, health, social amenities and infrastructure of affected persons residing in the Bui community.
