EITI in Uganda

The National Oil and Gas Policy for Uganda, which the government finalized in 2008, explicitly directs the government to join the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Objective 6 in the Policy mentions participation in EITI as one of the strategies Uganda will adopt to ensure collection of the right revenues from the oil industry.

Uganda’s parliament passed a resolution reaffirming the need to join EITI in October 2011 but as of early 2013 the government had not yet taken concrete steps toward initiating the process necessary for Uganda's registration to and implementation of EITI.
