“Human Rights Risk Assessment Update”

Tullow and partner companies are aware of challenges in operating with respect for human rights in western Uganda. Policies and development plans underway are designed to mitigate potential negative impacts and maximize positives. Implementation challenges across a multitude of ethnic and geographical regions will require close monitoring by project staff. NomoGaia is hopeful that follow-up fieldwork will find the existing and planned interventions effective for safeguarding the rights of affected Ugandans in petroleum development areas.
