Seventeen papers analyze how Uganda is planning to deal with the challenge of effectively, efficiently, and transparently managing its oil sector and resources, examining the institutional, legal, fiscal,environmental, social, macroeconomic, political, and financial dimensions of the Ugandan oil governance regime. Papers discuss the “resource curse” of economic, social, and political challenges experienced by countries rich in oil, gas, and other minerals; the role and functioning of the main formal institutions established to manage, oversee, and regulate Uganda’s oil exploration, development, and revenue management; Uganda’s legal-regulatory oil regime and its leeway for abuse and misappropriation; the opportunities for revenue mismanagement in Uganda’s standard oil revenue chain; the dynamics of deal making between the Government of Uganda and international oil companies, as well as the strategies employed by the government to remain in charge of the oil sector; Uganda’s macroeconomic management regime and the fiscal rules the Government of Uganda has put in place to achieve a balance between spending and saving; the opportunities that the oil revenues offer with regard to social development; the certainty and stability of Uganda’s oil fiscal regime; human resource challenges and opportunities facing Uganda’s emerging oil sector; the main environmental issues linked to oil development and the adequacy of the existing environmental regulatory systems in regulating potential problems associated with the upstream oil and gas activities in Uganda; the processes of land grabbing as a result of oil exploration and exploitation in Uganda; the expectations of Ugandans concerning their country’s oil and gas resources and the extent to which the government and the oil companies have managed these expectations appropriately; the emergent social tensions and conflicts linked to the advent of oil exploration and exploitation in Uganda; challenges and policies linked to Nigeria’s oil governance regime; challenges and policies linked to Ghana’s oil governance regime; challenges and policies linked to Kenya’s oil governance regime; and the effectiveness and soundness of Uganda’s oil governance regime. 2021.
