bujagali hydropower project

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Bujagali Energy Limited is committed to a proactive and dynamic consultation program designed to maximize community awareness of the proposed hydropower project and to solicit community input. We believe this close collaboration with interested organizations and individuals will help us construct and operate the best project possible for Uganda and communities located near the site.

Since early 2006, our project team has implemented a comprehensive "Public Consultation and Disclosure Program" (PCDP). To date, we have held numerous public meetings and discussions with a wide range of stakeholders including (but not limited to):

  • Local communities (including government officials and local residents)
  • Government agencies
  • Non-government organizations (environmental and other interest groups)
  • Businesses (including tourist-related interests in the area)
  • Cultural groups (the Kingdoms of Buganda and Busoga)

The PCDP is posted in the "Documents & Maps" section of this web site. Public consultation activities will continue through the project permitting phase and, if the proposed facility is approved by the Government of Uganda and project lenders, through project construction. Future consultations will focus on developing the Community Development Action Plan and keeping communities aware of project construction activities.

All important project documents are posted on this web site (Documents & Maps). They are also available for review at numerous national and local government offices and libraries throughout the region, including the Government of Uganda's National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) at:

NEMA House
Plot 17, Jinja Road
