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.

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.
