Review ESIA Albertine Graben, Uganda

Hoima, Uganda 2-5 July 2018. After the discovery of oil and gas in the Albertine Graben in the early 2000’s, the Tilenga project is one of the first initiatives to produce, process and transport oil. The project is planned in the Murchison Falls National Park, a protected area known for its outstanding biodiversity and ecosystem values. NEMA asked the NCEA to assist with reviewing the ESIA. During a 4-day site visit, both Ugandan and Dutch members of the review team discussed the potential impacts.
