This memorandum is presented to the Honorable Minister of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD) by the Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE), the Civil Society Coalition on Oil and Gas (CSCO), and the Albertine Graben Oil & Gas Districts Association (AGODA).

The memorandum seeks to highlight the gaps in revenue generation, allocation, and management and contribute to the requisite policy and legal reforms within the extractives sector. This is primarily aimed at improving transparency, accountability, management, and equitable sharing of extractive revenue between the national and sub-national governments. ACODE, CSCO, and AGODA identified a number of gaps that undermine transparency, equity, and accountability in extractive revenue mobilization. These gaps and recommendations have been enumerated in this memorandum.
