Following the Final Investment Decision (FID) ceremony on the 1st of February 2022, East African
Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) Ltd. has formally concluded the formation of the company that will
construct the 1,443km, East African Crude Oil Pipeline1 from Kabaale, Hoima District in Uganda,

EACOP Ltd. is now concluding the process to award all main contracts required for construction
works to begin. In parallel, the Project will carry out the land acquisition processes for the main
right of way in Uganda and Tanzania.

“During the course of 2022 the Project’s focus will be on land acquisition along with the detailed
engineering, procurement and preparation works for main construction, which will itself start on
the ground in 2023. The FID means concrete opportunities for local goods and services providers,

are determined to ensure that all participants have a safe workplace and that we meet both
National obligations as well as the IFC Performance Standards in terms of our Societal, Land and
Environmental performance.” emphasised Martin TIFFEN, Managing Director, EACOP Ltd.

the trade corridor between Uganda and Tanzania through the development of new infrastructure,
logistics, technology transfer as well as improving the livelihoods of communities along the route.
