Turkana County is on the verge of transforming its natural resource wealth into inclusive development, as the Field Development Plan (FDP) for the South Lokichar oil fields nears ratification. This initiative, led by Gulf Energy, aims to leverage local content policies to ensure that the benefits of oil extraction lead to shared prosperity for the community.

• Between 2026 and 2050, Turkana County and its communities are projected to receive approximately $216 million in direct allocations under the national revenue-sharing model.
• The Turkana County Local Content Act 2024 was passed to ensure meaningful participation for local residents across the value chain, from employment to supply of goods and services.
• Gulf Energy E&P BV is currently the sole entity committed to investing in Turkana's oil potential amidst dwindling fossil fuel investments in frontier markets.
