Ugandans may need to brace for a longer wait for the first oil, although @GovUganda genuinely expects the taps to open in July 2026. For now, it's best to manage expectations and allow technical & environmental safeguards the time they require.

Uganda should end the informal trade in gold for maximum benefits. The government currently does not know how much gold is produced by artisan and small-scale miners and lacks a reliable traceability mechanism.

The role and mandate of Local governments must be strengthened through capacity building and other interventions if Uganda is to fully benefit from its mining sector.- Mr Gideon Atukwase, Team leader, Resource Justice Network.

Foreign budget support for less developed countries has shrunk greatly, and yet the demand for citizen services has increased due to the growing populations.
Hence, the need to boost domestic revenue mobilisation. Mr Edmund Ariyo, Senior Economist-@mofpedU

[CSCOUg @CSCOUg1]

We recommend establishing a mineral revenue fund, similar to the Petroleum Fund, to strengthen revenue management for the mining sector.-@BaziraH -ED-@watergovinst

Uganda's mining sector's contribution to Uganda's GDP is very low, yet it is said to have more potential than the oil sector.
We need to work together to identify gaps and address them to maximise revenue generation.- Ms Gillian -@mofpedU

A timely meeting by @NRGInstitute to understand Uganda's Methane Emission abatement strategy in the oil and Gas sector.
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas contributor after carbon dioxide, &requires particular attention for sustainability.
#MethaneEmissions

[CSCOUg @CSCOUg1]

Approaches to methane emissions mitigation include;
-Establishing Leak Detection and Repair(LDAR) system
-provision of vapour recovery units for storage tanks
-Optimising the efficiency of combustion devices
-Gas utilisation measures or installing high-efficiency flares, etc

Earlier on today the 39th Multi-Stakeholder Group Meeting convened at Protea Hotel Kampala to advance transparency and accountability in Uganda’s extractive sector, with the Hon. Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development in attendance. The meeting recognized outgoing members, welcomed new leadership, approved the FY2024/25 Annual Progress Report, and reviewed the ToR for the 5th UGEITI Report — a strong step forward for collaborative and responsible resource governance.

Formalizing Artisanal and Small scale Miners(ASMs) is not optional but essential - not just for EITI compliance but for Uganda's broader growth ambitions.

There's a need to do a cost-benefit analysis of mineral value addition because you may have the deposit, but fail to get demand for the final product. Mr. Paul Bagabo-@NRGInstitute
