Today, we held our second strategic planning meeting with our co-conveners of the Citizens' Convention on Extractives and Energy, as preparations for the 9th CCE gather momentum.
The convention returns in October 2026 under the theme: Energy for People: Access, Affordability, Dignity and Inclusion. A theme that places citizens at the centre of Uganda's energy conversation and asks the harder questions about who the sector is truly serving.
Today's meeting focused on sharpening the roadmap, aligning partner contributions, and ensuring that by October, the convention speaks with one clear, citizen-led voice.
