StopEACOP

Together we can stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) and create a just and sustainable economic future. New global campaign to #StopEACOP

"The future Standard Bank advertises must be measured against the future it is actually financing."

Our coordinator Zaki Mamdoo explains why we've joined @FossilFreeSA & community groups to challenge Standard Bank's green claims.

"Across East Africa people are facing the devastating impacts of a climate crisis they did not cause...That means delivering the finance communities need and making fossil fuel companies pay their fair share..." ~ @Rukiya_Khamis https://t.co/xs6L02zkZb

Oil was sold as a path to local prosperity. But Bunyoro leaders say communities are seeing low-paid jobs, low-value contracts and delayed payments to local businesses.

Who is benefiting?

A new latrine and sports equipment in Kyotera do not erase EACOP’s broken promises.

Residents in the same district have reported unfair compensation, destroyed water sources and unmet commitments.

What about the people still waiting for justice? 👇

What must a bank prove when it markets itself as a sustainability leader?

A complaint asks South Africa’s advertising regulator to scrutinise Standard Bank’s climate and green-finance claims alongside its EACOP financing.

[climateactivistsdeffendersug @CADuganda256]

A bank cannot claim to finance a sustainable future while funding projects that threaten communities, ecosystems and our climate. Standard Bank must be held accountable. There can be no green future without climate justice. Stop EACOP! #StopEACOP #DivestFossilFuels

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

People losing land to #EACOP deserve to know who is funding their displacement.

149 groups have given 8 banks until Nov 16 to publicly account for $3.7B in pipeline lending.

@stopEACOP Actions speak louder than words. A bank cannot call itself a sustainability leader while financing a pipeline that threatens biodiversity and communities #Greenwashing #EACOP

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

Standard Bank markets itself as a leader in sustainable finance. But it also finances EACOP.

Now, its environmental claims are being challenged before South Africa’s Advertising Regulatory Board.

Can its green image withstand scrutiny?

[Lawyers for Human Rights @LHR_SA]

@stopEACOP @FossilFreeSA The case raises a critical question: can financial institutions market themselves as champions of sustainability while supporting major fossil fuel infrastructure?

[Lawyers for Human Rights @LHR_SA]

@stopEACOP @FossilFreeSA The complaint calls on the regulator to scrutinise whether the bank’s claims of sustainable finance, climate action and leadership in Africa’s just energy transition are adequately substantiated against the environmental and human rights impacts of the projects it finances.

[Lawyers for Human Rights @LHR_SA]

@stopEACOP @FossilFreeSA @FossilFreeSA , represented by @LHR_SA , alongside the @stopEACOP, has lodged a formal complaint with SA’s Advertising Regulatory Board, challenging Standard Bank’s environmental and sustainability claims in light of its financing of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).

Greenwashing matters because advertising shapes how the public understands where money is flowing and what kind of development financial institutions are building.

The future Standard Bank advertises must be measured against the future it is financing.

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

🚨 EXPOSED: Standard Bank's been reported to South Africa's Advertising Regulatory Board for greenwashing

They market "Net Zero" while funding #EACOP - a pipeline threatening Lake Victoria and 100,000+ people.

The veil's lifted #StopEACOP

Communities hosting multi-billion-dollar pipelines are still living in darkness. Who's this energy really for?

[climateactivistsdeffendersug @CADuganda256]

Africa’s energy future must serve its people, not just corporate profits. Communities deserve affordable, reliable, clean energy not displacement, environmental destruction, and broken promises. Who benefits from these deals, and who pays the price? Energy justice must come first

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

Billions in energy deals. But are ordinary people getting the energy they need?

During the Africa Energy Week, we asked who benefits, who bears the costs, and what energy investment should deliver.

Whose development, & at whose expense? Progress cannot mean land dispossession, lost livelihoods & violated rights. From Tanzania to Uganda, communities deserve justice, transparency & accountability—not promises that leave them behind. #LandJustice #StopEACOP #ClimateJustice

[AFIEGO @AfiegoUg]

⚖️On October 21, 2026, Uganda’s Court of Appeal heard five compensation cases involving people affected by the Tilenga and @EACOP oil projects.

The cases raise critical questions about land rights and fair compensation.
