Oil Wealth and Development in Uganda and Beyond by Arnim Langer,Ukoha Ukiwo,Pamela Mbabazi Pdf

Multidisciplinary perspectives to governance of oil in African countries Large quantities of oil were discovered in the Albertine Rift Valley in Western Uganda in 2006. The sound management of these oil resources and revenues is undoubtedly one of the key public policy challenges for Uganda as it is for other African countries with large oil and/or gas endowments. With oil expected to start flowing in 2021, the current book analyses how this East African country is preparing for the challenge of effectively, efficiently, and transparently managing its oil sector and resources. Adopting a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and comparative approach, the book identifies a broad scope of issues that need to be addressed in order for Uganda to realise the full potential of its oil wealth for national economic transformation. Predominantly grounded in local scholarship and including chapters drawing on the experiences of Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, the book blazes a trail on governance of African oil in an era of emerging producers. Oil Wealth and Development in Uganda and Beyond will be of great interest to social scientists and economic and social policy makers in oil-producing countries. It is suitable for course adoption across such disciplines as International/Global Affairs, Political Economy, Geography, Environmental Studies, Economics, Energy Studies, Development, Politics, Peace, Security and African Studies.

An Uncertain Future - Anticipating Oil in Uganda by Annika Witte Pdf

The discovery of oil in Uganda in 2006 ushered in an oil-age era with new prospects of unforeseen riches. However, after an initial exploration boom developments stalled. Unlike other countries with major oil discoveries, Uganda has been slow in developing its oil. In fact, over ten years after the first discoveries, there is still no oil. During the time of the research for this book between 2012 and 2015, Uganda’s oil had not yet fully materialised but was becoming. The overarching characteristic of this research project was waiting for the big changes to come: a waiting characterised by indeterminacy. There is a timeline but every year it gets expanded and in 2018 having oil still seems to belong to an uncertain future. This book looks at the waiting period as a time of not-yet-ness and describes the practices of future- and resource-making in Uganda. How did Ugandans handle the new resource wealth and how did they imagine their future with oil to be? This ethnography is concerned with Uganda’s oil and the way Ugandans anticipated different futures with it: promising futures of wealth and development and disturbing futures of destruction and suffering. The book works out how uncertainty was an underlying feature of these anticipations and how risks and risk discourses shaped the imaginations of possible futures. Much of the talk around the oil involved the dichotomy of blessing or curse and it was not clear, which one the oil would be. Rather than adding another assessment of what the future with oil will be like, this book describes the predictions and prophesies as an essential part of how resources are being made. This ethnography shows how various actors in Uganda, from the state, the oil industry, the civil society, and the extractive communities, have tried to negotiate their position in the oil arena. Annika Witte argues in this book that by establishing their risks and using them as power resources actors can influence the becoming of oil as a resource and their own place in a petro-future. The book offers one of the first ethnographic accounts of Uganda’s oil and the negotiations that took place in an oil state to be.

Oil In Ugandan by Myrtie Nix Pdf

From 2006 onward, a series of oil discoveries put Uganda on the global energy map. These were the largest onshore oil finds in sub-Saharan Africa in over two decades, and part of an oil and gas surge in East Africa and a wider energy boom on the continent. But almost immediately after the discovery of oil, a series of regulatory disputes between the Ugandan government and international oil companies delayed development and production. In this Oil Industry book, you will discover: - Introduction - Interview - Process of crude oil production - Oil extraction process - Crude oil exploration storage and distribution - Managing oil risks Oil and the stock market - Has oil reached its peak? - Natural gas for electricity - Use of petroleum by-products - Dangers of fracking - Dangers of gushing oil fires - And so much more!

Oil in Uganda by Ben Shepherd Pdf

The 'resource curse' is not inevitable. Uganda has time on its side but it must not waste it. The debate on oil must move beyond the politics of the present and look to the long term. Oil will be central to Uganda for decades to come. It is incumbent on today's leaders in government, opposition and civil society alike to work together to ensure a bright future for generations to come. Lessons can be learned from those countries that have successfully managed natural resources, as well as those that have suffered from their mismanagement. Transparency matters if Uganda's social cohesion is going to be maintained. A well-informed national conversation on how to balance spending with saving is vital to the health of the agricultural sector and key to a positive future. The need to protect technical advice from political influence is vital across all governments. And a population that understands how revenues are being spent is more likely to work with government rather than against it, building a positive feedback mechanism between people and the state that can act as a bulwark against future abuses.

A Belated Boom by Luke A. Patey Pdf

This paper examines the development, potential, and main risks facing oil industries in Uganda, Kenya, and South Sudan, as well as plans for regional pipelines in East Africa. It begins in Uganda, the future anchor of the region’s oil production, where the development of oil first discovered in 2006 has only recently moved past a number of tax, regulatory, and contract disputes between the Ugandan government and international oil companies. Second, it reviews Kenya’s oil industry, in which political struggles over oil between local communities, country representatives and national leaders remains acute. Third, the paper examines South Sudan’s oil industry since its 2011 independence, and how regional disputes and conflict with Sudan over pipeline transit fees, and the outbreak of civil war in late 2013, have slowed production in an already ageing oil industry. Finally, the paper details and examines the shifting positions the region’s governments and international oil companies have taken on developing critical new pipelines in East Africa, and the merits and challenges of different possible routes.

Before the First Drop by Yusuf Serunkuma,Eria Serwajja Pdf

Speaking and developing analyses from the vantage of point of directly affected persons in western Uganda, this book is focused on that small window between confirmed economic potential and actual extraction. That is, before the pipes begin to flow with oil. This window has been long for Uganda, with multiple pauses - often includes exploration, preparation, displacement, resettlement, compensation, waiting, speculation, anxiety, violence, and several often, non-voiced traumas. The researchers - who did fieldwork in teams - explore key livelihood questions around food, land, compensation and resettlement. They also focus education as schools were knocked down without building new ones, gender questions as only men signed the compensation cheques; the environment as rivers dry up. Focused on violence and the traumas of development, this book questions the extent of state involvement in the lives of ordinary folks, who tend to be "the first 'extractives' from the earth," but are simply unwanted disposable.

Uganda by Jörg Wiegratz,Giuliano Martiniello,Elisa Greco Pdf

For the last three decades, Uganda has been one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. Globally praised as an African success story and heavily backed by international financial institutions, development agencies and bilateral donors, the country has become an exemplar of economic and political reform for those who espouse a neoliberal model of development. The neoliberal policies and the resulting restructuring of the country have been accompanied by narratives of progress, prosperity, and modernisation and justified in the name of development. But this self-celebratory narrative, which is critiqued by many in Uganda, masks the disruptive social impact of these reforms and silences the complex and persistent crises resulting from neoliberal transformation. Bringing together a range of leading scholars on the country, this collection represents a timely contribution to the debate around the New Uganda, one which confronts the often sanitised and largely depoliticised accounts of the Museveni government and its proponents. Harnessing a wealth of empirical materials, the contributors offer a critical, multi-disciplinary analysis of the unprecedented political, socio-economic, cultural and ecological transformations brought about by neoliberal capitalist restructuring since the 1980s. The result is the most comprehensive collective study to date of a neoliberal market society in contemporary Africa, offering crucial insights for other countries in the Global South.
