Summary
In a joint communique signed by 44 civil societies in Uganda and DR Congo, the organisations say governments of Uganda and Tanzania together with the oil companies have flouted a number of transparency protocols.
Uganda’s oil fields are located along the Uganda-DRC borders and tensions have in the past erupted over mineral rights.

ZIMBABWE and Zambia are set to benefit from revenue of over US$750 million annually from the 2 400MW Batoka Gorge Hydro-Electric Scheme (BGHES) project – a bilateral venture between the two neighbouring countries, the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) has said.
ZRA is spearheading the project after engaging a consortium of Power China and General Electric in July 2019 for the construction of the BGHES project, which is estimated to cost up to US$5 billion.
The bilateral project is located within the Batoka Gorge, 47km downstream of the Victoria Falls. In an update on the disclosure of the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) studies report for the development of the project, ZRA chief executive Munyaradzi Munodawafa said the multi-billion dollar project will economically benefit the two countries.
