Ep 50: The Stop EACOP Project with Ziada
What does “development” really mean—and who is forced to pay for it?
Meet the Guest
Ziada is a climate and gender justice advocate working at the frontlines of renewable energy and community resistance. Trained in medicine, her activism was shaped by real encounters with inequality, environmental breakdown, and lives lost to preventable conditions.
What We Unpack in This Episode
What is EACOP, really?
A massive oil pipeline from Uganda to Tanzania—sold as progress, contested on the ground.
The real cost of “development”
Displacement. Lost livelihoods. Closed schools. Communities cut off from land and identity.
Why women are hit hardest
Economic exclusion, social disruption, and power imbalances intensified inside homes and communities.
Key Takeaway
“We don’t lack solutions—we lack implementation.”
