Summary: The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) passes through a huge part of greater Masaka region and many communities will be affected by this project. COTFONE and Partners have been working around strengthening community sensitization and awareness on the project. Most project affected persons are rural communities that largely survive on land. Of specific interest, various marginalized and vulnerable groups including women, persons with disabilities, youth and the elderly among others will, if initiatives are not strategically focused on addressing their unique challenges in land acquisition, compensation and resettlement processes, face huge negative impacts. It is crucial that all project processes take cognizance of the unique challenges faced by the special interest groups.
