Tilenga Project: TotalEnergies Publishes Independent Assessment of the Land
Acquisition Program in Uganda

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE), operator of the Tilenga
Project in Uganda through its affiliate TotalEnergies EP Uganda (TEPU), is
publishing the independent assessment
(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftotalenergies.com%2Fsites%2Fg%2Ffiles%2Fnytnzq121%2Ffiles%2Fdocuments%2Ftotalenergies_social-performance-report-tilenga-project-land-people_2026_en.pdf&esheet=54440701&newsitemid=20260306434940&lan=en-US&anchor=independent+assessment&index=1&md5=67d9246609e4e1947f0099ac586c3c52)
conducted by the Canadian firm Land & People Planning Ltd on the land
acquisition, resettlement and livelihood restoration program implemented for
the Tilenga Project, together with the action plan adopted by TEPU based on
the report’s recommendations.

This independent review follows the commitment made by TotalEnergies in 2024.
The mission had initially been entrusted to Lionel Zinsou, who informed the
Company that he would be unable to complete it due to personal health
circumstances. TotalEnergies expresses its appreciation for his involvement.

The assessment conducted in the districts of Buliisa, Hoima and Kikuube
covered all core components of the land acquisition program. The report
concludes that the program was implemented in line with the Project’s land
acquisition and resettlement commitments, aligned with IFC Performance
Standard 5, with no material systemic deficiencies. Furthermore, the report
states that “compensation, replacement house handover, and a majority of
livelihood mitigations have been completed and that the Project is now well
positioned to transition toward Resettlement Action Plan closure.”

Between 2022 and end-2024, the Tilenga Project acquired approximately 2,108
acres of land, impacting 4,954 households and communities, including the
relocation of 205 primary residents. To date, over 99% of compensation
agreements have been signed and paid, and 100% of resettlement houses have
been built and handed over.

Based on the recommendations of this report, TEPU will implement an action
plan

covering the following areas:


 * Livelihood restoration: continued monitoring in 2026 to ensure completion and
uptake of training and support measures (agronomic practices, post-harvest
equipment, business start-up packs).


 * Support to vulnerable households: tailored assistance for potentially
vulnerable households, in coordination with local government services.


 * Grievance management: strengthened tracking and communication tools, including
FAQs and key messages to ensure consistency and transparency.


 * Engagement and disclosure: a focused engagement plan dedicated to Resettlement
Action Plan closure and livelihoods programming closure.


 * Gender considerations: integration of gender-disaggregated data into closure
datasets and reporting.


 * Closure: initiation of the formal closure process, to be followed by an
independent third-party closure audit.

“The publication of this independent report and the associated action plan
demonstrates our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement. We
remain fully committed to completing the program in line with international
standards and to continuing our contribution to local development”, said
Nicolas Terraz, President Exploration & Production of TotalEnergies.
