dc.description.abstractThe debate on the management of petroleum resources and use of the anticipated wealth in Uganda has been through a new institutionalist prism that focuses on the dangers of the ‘resource curse’ than a blessing. Because many developing resource-rich countries like Uganda lack strong legal and institutional foundations for resource wealth management, many stakeholders and individuals fear that the wealth flowing from petroleum will not reach local communities and citizens. Against the backdrop above, this thesis examines the legal framework governing the management of petroleum revenues in Uganda to ascertain how it could be effective. Based on a normative research employing literature review and doctrinal methods, it claims that legal mechanisms, which ensure and enhance government accountability and transparency, will address the weaknesses and enhance the effectiveness of the legal regime.en_US
