Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE)
(LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE), has entrusted Lionel Zinsou, a recognized
expert in African economic development, with a mission to assess
the land acquisition program carried out in Uganda and Tanzania as
part of the Tilenga and EACOP (East African Crude Oil Pipeline)
projects, and the socio-economic development initiatives
accompanying this program.
As the land acquisition process draws to a close, this mission
will evaluate the land acquisition procedures implemented, the
conditions for consultation, compensation and relocation of the
populations concerned, and the grievance handling mechanism. It
will also assess the actions taken by TotalEnergies EP Uganda and
EACOP to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions for
the people affected by these land acquisitions and suggest
additional measures to be implemented if needed.
The mission will submit its report by April 2024, and its
conclusions will be shared with the Tilenga and EACOP project
partners.
The Tilenga and EACOP projects include a land acquisition
program covering some 6,400 hectares, carried out on behalf of the
Ugandan and Tanzanian governments. This program concerns 19,140
households and communities owning or using plots of land and
includes the relocation of 775 primary residences. To date, 98% of
the households concerned have signed compensation agreements, 97%
have received their compensation, and 98% of households to be
relocated have taken possession of their new homes.
The Tilenga upstream development project in Uganda is carried
out by TotalEnergies (56.67%, operator), CNOOC (28.33%) and UNOC
(15%). Production from the oil fields in Uganda will be transported
to the port of Tanga in Tanzania through the cross-border pipeline
developed by the EACOP Company, whose shareholders are
TotalEnergies (62%), UNOC (15%), TPDC (15%) and CNOOC (8%).
