Following the suspension of our operations in Turkana in late 2013, we increased our engagement with our host communities
In early 2014, we recruited more Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) from the local area, bringing the total headcount of the Social Performance field stakeholder engagement team to 36. The main issues the communities raised were land access, security, the health of their communities and their live-stock, access to water, job opportunities and education.
Since early 2014, Tullow has begun to hold quarterly meetings with the Turkana Leadership Forum to ensure they get regular updates on our operational activities, Local Content initiatives and social investment programmes.
