The Human Rights Impact Assessment Report for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP)

The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a proposed 1,445-kilometer pipeline that will transport oil from Kabaale, Hoima, Uganda to the Chongoleani peninsula near Tanga port in Tanzania. This Human Rights Impact Assessment report highlights the social, environmental, cultural, and human rights risks of the EACOP for communities located along the proposed pipeline corridor. Co-researched and produced by Global Rights Alert (GRA), Civic Response on Environment and Development (CRED), Northern Coalition for Extractives and Environment (NCEE), and Oxfam, it identifies and documents the actual and potential human rights implications of this major infrastructure project and makes recommendations to the governments and the companies to mitigate the adverse impacts and to increase the positive impacts of this project and advocate for inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability.
