Dr. Jane Nalunga is an expert on trade, tax and investment-related issues with a particular focus on multilateral, bilateral, regional and national trade and investment policies and agreements.
She’s a key advocate, advisor and commentator on oil and gas investment matters at public dialogues in which she has called for transparency and accountability indicating there’s the need for East African Community countries to harmonise their tax incentives, especially in the oil sector to avoid the race to the bottom.
Nalunga is renowned for her consistent calls on the government to publicise the Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) in the oil and gas sector which remain shrouded in secrecy to the extent that the public does not know the details of these agreements that the government signed with the various Oil Companies.
She also believes local content in the oil sector links to other sectors such as Agriculture to deliver much more value to the wider economy.
