Earlier this year we announced our new brand, WAVE, which encompasses our broadened scope of work in policy and advocacy, in addition to the programmatic work of the Lake Tanganyika Floating Health Clinic.
With this in mind, Founder and CEO Dr. Amy Lehman has just launched “From Curse to Cure: The Impact of Energy Exploration & Production in the Lake Tanganyika Basin,” at the annual iPAD Oil and Gas Conference in Kinshasa, DRC, September 10th and 11th, 2014.
“From Curse to Cure” charts risks and rewards of the forthcoming oil boom in the African Great Lakes. The Lake Tanganyika Basin is used in the report as a lens to view the complex issues and development opportunities in Central and East Africa.
This report is the first of a series of publications on cross-sectoral collaboration, business and development opportunities, as well as best practices in the African Great Lakes region in general and the Lake Tanganyika Basin in particular. This project was led by the policy team at WAVE and in conjunction with its programmatic arm, the Lake Tanganyika Floating Health Clinic, to highlight among other things, the vulnerabilities of one of the world’s greatest assets in the 21st Century: Water.
We encourage you to download our full paper. Further information may be found in our press release: New study charts risks and rewards of the forthcoming oil boom in the African Great Lakes
For a better understanding of why we initiated this scholarship on energy exploration and production in the basin, check out this interview with Amy.
Thank you for your continued support!!
