Uganda: NGOs urge govt. to join Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative to ensure oil revenue

Civil society organisations including Global Rights Alert, Transparency International & ActionAid Uganda have launched an online petition calling on government to ensure transparency in managing oil revenue by joining the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). In the meantime, a columnist argues that secrecy in oil deals could undermine locals' ability to benefit from oil revenue.
