Africa Institute for Energy Governance (AFIEGO)

Africa Institute for Energy Governance (AFIEGO) is a non governmental organization based in Kampala-Uganda.

The idea of establishing AFIEGO came in after realizing the gaps in the formulation and enforcement of policies and laws in the energy sector across the world. It is these gaps and other shortcomings that account to the global energy crisis. AFIEGO is carrying out a number of activities to see to it that the Government of Uganda uses the country’s resources for the benefit of its citizens.
