Uganda's Gold Export Data Continues to Haunt Sector

Wed Dec 18 2024

Where does Uganda source the millions of dollars' worth of gold it exports annually? This question often dominates discussions involving artisanal miners, gold traders, government officials, and civil society groups. But the answers remain as varied as they are perplexing.

The issue resurfaced on Nov. 28 during the unveiling of Uganda's third Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) report published by the Uganda National EITI Secretariat (UGEITI). The report strives to highlight the country's efforts to improve transparency and governance in its oil, gas, and mineral sectors.

Uganda joined the EITI four years ago as part of a global initiative to promote accountable management of natural resources in resource-rich nations.
