The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a major oil project running from Uganda to Tanzania that cuts through sensitive ecosystems, wetlands, and critical water sources relied on by millions. The pipeline has been linked to large-scale land acquisition and displacement of communities, while raising concerns about pollution, biodiversity loss, and long-term climate impacts. Communities and civil society groups continue to oppose the project over environmental risks, lack of consent, and threats to livelihoods.
