6. BASELINE ANALYSIS OF STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTIONS 6

7. MULTI-STAKEHOLDER FORUMS (MSFs) In 7 oil-bearing districts Communities, local governments, central government and companies have began the process of: 1.identifying their priority barriers in the oil and gas sector, 2.describing the cause of the barriers, 3.developing actions to address them, and 4.jointly monitoring their implementation Priorities and actions constantly updated 7

8. KANUNGU DISTRICT COMMUNITY SUPPORT  Community and local government expectations of improved social services (schools, health, roads, water) from oil and gas industry not being met  Lack of a community plan to cause benefit from the oil and gas industry 8

9. RUKUNGIRI DISTRICT DISPLACEMENT, COMPENSATION & RESETTLEMENT  Unclear land ownership and demarcation  Compensation rates for land, crops, property, and all resources are outdated  Lack of community consultation in process of developing compensation rates  Compensation not provided in a timely manner  Displacement that results in loss of livelihood  Incomplete re-settlement of squatters (not following terms of compensation – not moving out of the land) 9

10. HOIMA DISTRICT LAND GRABBING  Illegal influencing of the process of acquiring land  Assumption that community land is not occupied/it is public land  Lack of public information on applications for land registration  Unclear land ownership and demarcation  Weaknesses in the selection, working conditions and monitoring the work of Area Land Committees (sub- county) 10

11. BULIISA DISTRICT LAND CONFLICTS  Individuals manipulating legal processes to unlawfully acquire land  Individuals acquiring communal land through utilization or by registration  Individuals selling communal land as though it is personal land  Encroachment by oil companies on individual and communal land before agreement of terms for the use of land  Individuals taking advantage of undocumented size and unclear land boundaries  Some ALCs not capacitated to do their work 11

12. NEBBI DISTRICT STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT  Inadequate community involvement in oil and gas activities  Lack of linkage between existing committees at community and local government levels 12

13. ARUA DISTRICT INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION  Oil exploration activities began with minimal LG and community information and involvement  No information and awareness on the oil exploration process, including benefits, impacts, form of oil to be recovered, security concerns, stakeholders that will be involved, schedule of activities, etc  Central government has information that is not shared with LGs and communities because they are not open, but companies expect LGs and communities to have that information already from central government  Minimal information about the role of LG and communities in the oil and gas sector 13

14. NWOYA DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT  Poor waste management measures in terms of transportation, waste pit and its impact on water, etc  Dust from industry trucks on murram roads causing air pollution  Wildlife movement onto community land from MFNP  Limited/ineffective participation of local governments and communities in the EIA process  Inadequate capacity of LG and communities to participate in the EIA process  Perception of central government that LG can't participate effectively in the EIA process 14

15. COMMON SUB-NATIONAL ISSUES Overwhelming desire for regular multi-stakeholder engagement to address current and potential concerns and share experiences Need for developing new channels for sharing information to the full range of stakeholders Urgent need for land demarcation and registration using livelihood-based approaches Need for experiential learning on what has worked elsewhere and how it may be successfully applied in the local context Better forecasting of and preparation for issues related to displacement & compensation during the entire extractive industries project cycle Planning and action on the potential negative impact of petroleum exploration and production on the environment, biodiversity and tourism Shift in interest in local economic development that focused solely on employment opportunities to one that now includes markets for local products and services 15
