The Africa Oil Governance Summit (AOGS) is the flagship programme of the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP). Instituted in 2015, the main goal of the Summit is to expose and address pertinent governance and development issues pertaining to the management and use of oil and gas resources across the African continent. The AOGS thus creates the avenue for, and brings together, stakeholders in the oil and gas space across Africa and beyond to deliberate on efficient and effective approaches to engender sustainable and inclusive development through exploitation of Africa’s oil and gas resources.

SUMMIT OBJECTIVES
- To deepen governments’ and public understanding on the prospects of local content practices in achieving inclusive growth
- To provide a platform where decision makers from African countries would engage by sharing experiences and challenges in local content policy implementation
- To fashion a common approach on how to maximize benefits from local content in the extractives sector
EXPECTED OUTCOME
- A key output of the summit will be a communiqué constituting demands for actions by governments and policy makers across the continent of Africa. The communiqué will form a strong basis for program development and advocacy to influence government policy in maximizing returns on extractive resources particularly through local content provisions. It will also serve as the benchmark for measuring post-Summit progress and achievements.

MEET OUR SPEAKERS
The speakers for this year’s summit have been drawn from different countries with a great track record in governance, the petroleum sector, oil and gas and the total management of natural resources. Last year’s speakers share some similarities with this year’s speakers. However because of the different theme, most are new. They are not only dynamic in their area of expertise, but wield extraordinary knowledge which when tapped into, will go a long way in shaping our developmental process toward excellence.
