Abstract
In realization of the petroleum industry potential, Uganda’s Oil and Gas policy seeks to optimize
wealth creation from the industry to enhance the welfare of the citizens. This study has examined
how Uganda may benefit from the participation of Ugandans and Ugandan firms in the petroleum
activities. In the literature this is frequently referred to by applying the term local content. Local in
this sense, however, refers to national as opposed to international or foreign contributions. Thus, we
apply the concept national content to avoid any misunderstanding. Focus of our study has been on
identifying the opportunities, gaps and challenges posed by the petroleum industry to recommend
necessary measures to maximize the benefits of national content otherwise defined as national
participation
