Water Governance Institute (WGI) is among 60 non-governmental organisations that petitioned UNESCO and the governments of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Water Governance Institute (WGI) is among 60 non-governmental organisations that petitioned UNESCO and the governments of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) against supporting oil and gas mining operations in the Virunga National Park and the Queen Elizabeth National Park, because they believe that the benefits that accrue from the national parks outweigh the benefits that could come from exploiting oil & gas in the parks and would last a longer time than those from oil & gas.  Click to read the press statement and joint statements made by the said organizations.
