Investments in energy projects will be central to a large number of HLM sub-events.
We have been provided with this sound file by Mr Peter Labeja, Young Journalists Programme participant and reporter on environmental and energy topics from Uganda. In this sample from his weekly radio report, Mr Labeja informs about the current developments in Uganda’s energy sector, comparing it with the neighboring country Kenya. We are looking forward to benefitting from Mr Labeja’s insights on the Ugandan case.
