Legal Advisory Services to Physically Displaced Project Affected Persons in the East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project
Our team provided crucial legal advisory services to communities affected by the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project, ensuring that displaced persons understood their rights and received fair compensation.

The initiative aimed to bridge the knowledge gap between large infrastructure projects and affected communities, promoting transparency and fairness in the compensation process.
What the Team Learnt
Our team gained invaluable experience in community engagement, learned about the complexities of large-scale infrastructure projects and their social impact, and developed expertise in land acquisition and compensation law. The project reinforced the importance of using our legal expertise to protect vulnerable communities and ensure equitable outcomes.
