Terms of Reference - Mining Revenue Governance and Community Benefit Sharing Challenges in Uganda: Leveraging Community Development Agreements to Enhance Benefit Sharing for Mining Communities in Kasaanda and the Albertine Graben

Posted on: 2026-11-03 05:45:39

ACODE, in collaboration with the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG) and Oxfam in Uganda, seeks to hire a consultant to undertake a study on mining revenue governance challenges in Uganda and to leverage community development agreements to enhance benefit sharing for mining communities in Kasaanda and the Albertine Graben of Uganda.

Uganda’s mineral resources have long been recognised as an important source of national wealth. Incidentally, the communities hosting mining operations have not always experienced commensurate improvements in their livelihoods, public services and local economic opportunities. Mining activities often times generate government revenue, employment and private-sector investment; but the associated benefits for host communities tend to be limited and unevenly distributed or insufficient to address the social and environmental costs of extraction.
