Uganda’s first major oil project has hit repeated delays, leaving families in a state of limbo that poses major risks to their livelihoods, their land rights and environment, human rights groups have said.
The project is a joint venture between the Ugandan government. The companies will acquire land from hundreds of families around lake Albert and 12,000 additional families along the 1,440-km pipeline route from Hoima district to the Tanzanian coast, according to the NGO reports.
