MEMD hosted the 8th Annual Energy and Mineral Development Joint Sector Review (EMD JSR) from 27th – 28th 00 September 2018, for the key stakeholders under the theme: “Enabling Investment in Energy, Minerals, Oil and Gas sectors for Social and Economic Development”. The Uganda Vision 2040, recognises the role of energy as an enabler, to the extraction of minerals, as well as oil and gas as key infrastructure areas to provide the necessary impulse to the National economy. The Ministry is working towards attaining a more reliable network that will enable evidence-based research interventions as to attract more partners and resources. I call upon all sector stakeholders to continue supporting, working closely and making extensive use of the established infrastructure for economic development. Hon. Eng.
