Government sets aside 24 Billions UGX to compensate National Oil Palm Project affected persons

In this episode, we unpack the government’s decision to set aside UGX 24 billion to compensate persons affected by the National Oil Palm Project. We examine who qualifies for compensation, what the funds are intended to cover, and whether the process addresses the long-standing concerns of affected communities.Through voices from the ground, expert insights, and policy analysis, the discussion highlights the social, environmental, and livelihood impacts of the project, while questioning transparency, fairness, and accountability in the compensation process. We also explore what justice, restoration, and meaningful consultation should look like for communities whose land and livelihoods have been disrupted.This episode invites listeners to reflect on development, land rights, and the need for people-centered approaches in large-scale agricultural projects.
