Ever wonder why your wallet feels lighter even when you haven’t changed your lifestyle?
The latest “Out of Pocket” report reveals a stinging truth: Africans are paying a fossil fuel premium on almost everything. From the maize in your kitchen to the fare for your commute, you are paying for an energy system that isn’t built for you.

The “Out of Pocket” Breakdown:

8 cents: That’s all that reaches the poorest households from every dollar of aid.

Triple Tax: You pay at the pump, through your taxes to cover subsidies, and through climate disasters that destroy livelihoods.

The Drain: Billions in foreign reserves are leaving our borders to buy oil, instead of staying home to build schools.

We have the sun and the wind. Why are we still paying for someone else’s oil? ☀️💨

🔗 Link in Bio: Read the report and help us demand that the EU Commission invests in African renewables, not foreign oil.

“We aren’t just launching a project; we’re fundamentally rewriting the rulebook for energy advocacy in Uganda. For too long, energy policy has been a top-down affair. By bringing
youth groups and local communities to the same table as the private sector, we’re moving away from token gestures and towards genuine co-design. From ring-fencing national
budgets for clean energy to decentralising oversight to our districts, we’re ensuring that Uganda’s transition isn’t just fast ; it’s fair, locally tailored, and built to last.“
- Rukiya Khamis, Programme Manager - 350East Africa
