    Sharing Oil and Gas Revenue in Uganda
    (Uganda Wildlife Society, 2008) Muramira, Telly Eugene; Manyindo, Jacob
    Although Uganda has significant natural resource endowments, most communities living in proximity to these resources continue to suffer serious levels of poverty. This situation sets a bad precedent for the developing oil and gas sector. As a result, the Uganda Wildlife Society, with generous support from Irish AID through the World Resources Institute carried out this study to find practical ways local communities, local governments and the central government may fairly and equitably share revenue from oil and gas resources. The overall aim of the study was therefore to propose a revenue sharing formula and derivation fund for the oil and gas sector in Uganda. The specific objectives of the study were to: (i) define the concept of revenue sharing and derivation funds, its rationale and key features; (ii) review oil extraction models and oil revenue control; (iii) review existing institutional, policy and legal frameworks that have implications for the establishment of derivation funds and oil revenue sharing schemes; (iv) document relevant international experiences; (v) present the challenges, key measures and approaches to establishing a successful revenue sharing scheme and derivation fund for Uganda.

    Sustainable Development Beyond Rio+ 10: Consolidating Environmental Democracy in Uganda Through Access to Justice, Information and Participation
    (Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment, 2002) Tumushabe, Godber; Bainomugisha, Arthur; Makumbi, Irene; Mwebaza, Rose; Manyindo, Jacob; Mwenda, Andrew
    The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) due to take place in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002 is yet another key milestone in the formulation of strategies for achieving global sustainable development. The Summit, also known as Rio + 10, is an important event in the growth of global environmentalism in at least three ways.1 First, it is taking place a whole generation after the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972.2 Second, the WSSD represents a decade of implementation of the commitments made by governments at the United Nations Conference on Development and Environment (UNCED).3 Third, the WSSD is a fundamental opportunity for Governments and all other actors to work together to find practical ways of operationalizing sustainable development principles by focussing on both the substantive commitments, as well as the means of implementing already existing ones.
