Legal Framework within EAC Level

  • The Inter-Governmental Agreement between Uganda and Tanzania was signed during May 2017 and Foundation Stones for the EACOP were laid both in Tanga and Hoima during August 2017 and November 2017 respectively.
  • Negotiations of the Uganda Host Government Agreement (HGA) for EACOP between the Pipeline Project Team (PPT) and the government of Uganda commenced in February 2018 and were concluded in September 2020. Subsequently, negotiations for the Shareholders Agreement (SHA) and the Transportation and Tariff Agreement (TTA) were also finalized.  This culminated into the signing of the Uganda HGA, SHA and TTA on 11th April 2021, hence the launch of Uganda’s oil and gas projects.
