Abstract: Hydropower energy is both modern and clean technology. It contributes in promoting rural development and at the same time ensures the economical development of the country. The study was conducted in SNNP region, Dawro zone, Loma woreda two kebeles. The focus of the study was to examine Gibe III hydropower construction’s effect on the social livelihood of the inhabitants. Data was collected on HH heads and a total of 97 households and officials were interviewed. The study has concluded that the Gibe III hydroelectric power construction, as vital to the country’s development, contributed to the decline in the social bond that serves as a resource for the community. However, long term benefits of the project and effective management of the community’s transfer to modernization ensure gradual embrace of the change and sustainable development of the community.
