Commitment to Socio-Economic Development
We consider national content as key for the success of our operations. We will therefore promote national participation and local content development by developing the following mechanisms;
Reinforcing the use of local Ugandan and Tanzania workforce and contractors through training programs and support to local companies
Incorporating national content programmes in all project contracts to encourage and develop local procurement of goods and services
Support supplier development by reducing the complexity of contracts as a way of making them accessible to the local contractors
Encourage and support the formation of joint ventures between international and local companies to facilitate transfers of competencies and most important of all, technologies.
Assist the establishment in Uganda of management and technical capabilities such as but not limited to:
- local supplier development programs aimed at building capacity at national and community level
- internships and attachment of Ugandan citizens in petroleum activities
- support to the Industry Enhancement Centre including Health, Safety, Environment and Quality standards
- support of existing institutions in Uganda by providing knowledge, technology, mentorships and scholarships
