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.

Uganda should end the informal trade in gold for maximum benefits. The government currently does not know how much gold is produced by artisan and small-scale miners and lacks a reliable traceability mechanism.

Uganda's mining sector's contribution to Uganda's GDP is very low, yet it is said to have more potential than the oil sector.
We need to work together to identify gaps and address them to maximise revenue generation.- Ms Gillian -@mofpedU

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.

There's a need to do a cost-benefit analysis of mineral value addition because you may have the deposit, but fail to get demand for the final product. Mr. Paul Bagabo-@NRGInstitute
