Women for Green Nature ( WGN)

Last year, AFIEGO & @IGENEastAfrica set up community clean energy demonstration centres in Kikuube and Buliisa districts to promote clean, accessible and affordable energy solutions. Last week, our leads conducted outreaches to showcase the clean energy alternatives available.

Inclusive impact assessment is a moral question: did you look for the people who are easiest to ignore? TotalEnergies boasts about community engagement. But when we ask about the disabled, widows, and families without land titles, the answer is silence. Read Fairdah's story here

Oil companies are quick to mention mitigation measures. But can you mitigate the loss of species? When you drill in a national park, heavy machinery scares wildlife, and the vibrations silence fish spawning grounds. Africa’s nature is not a sacrifice zone. #KickTotalOutOfAfrica

Last week, @IGENEastAfrica conducted community outreaches to showcase clean energy alternatives available at the IGEN clean energy demonstration centers in Kikuube and Buliisa districts to promote clean energy solutions for sustainable livelihoods .

On day 3 of #KickPollutersOut during Global week of Action ,we mark #AfricaDay through organizing community Renewable Energy Assembly in EACOP affected communities. They demand #AffordableEnergy reliable &Accessible energy for All. #AfrikaVuka #StopEACOP #KickTotalOutOfAfrica.

For years, @IGENEastAfrica, a network that brings together over 30 CSOs have been advocating for Bugoma Central Forest Reserve located in Western Uganda, situated in Kikuube district to be turned into a national park. Bugoma is now a national park

Pressure on forests like Bugoma forest, Mabiira forest and others in Uganda is driving deforestation hence instigating climate change. To address deforestation, let us prioritize the adoption of clean energy and climate smart farming

#MarkingEarthDay @IGENEastAfrica urges @MAAIF_Uganda to champion agroecology & increase investment in agricultural extension services. 💎We also call on East African Gov'ts to provide adequate financing for the Environment & Natural Resources sector Read 👇

As we mark #InternationalWomensDay, women in Uganda’s oil-affected communities continue to face exclusion from land acquisition, compensation, and resettlement processes. Women lost land, livelihoods, and decision-making power.

Foreign oil companies are protected by cost recovery clauses. Uganda bears most of the price risk. This isn’t a partnership—it’s exploitation #StopEACOP

Only 42% of rural Ugandans have electricity. Investing in mini-grids and clean cooking could boost rural economies without oil risks.#JustTransition
