How to Mobilise Change: A conversation with 2022 Laureate AFIEGO

In the face of the global #climatecrisis, Africa Institute for Energy Governance (AFIEGO) stands with communities against oil and gas exploitation projects, in #Uganda and beyond. Resisting government and corporate threats, the organisation ensures that communities affected by colonialist extractive energy projects can raise their voices on national and international levels.

With their bottom-up work at the intersection of ​​societal, economic and environmental concerns, AFIEGO models a democratic and renewable energy path for African countries.
