Case study - Our recent collaboration with the Government of Uganda demonstrates this approach in action. By convening key ministries and agencies, we supported the integration of oil and gas into Uganda’s NDC 3.0, helped identify critical policy and data gaps, and developed clear, actionable recommendations for building a robust energy transition framework
