From January 26-February 10, 2024 Barrel magazine, in partnership with Women in Energy and Extractives Network (WEEN), held a public nomination campaign, seeking 20 women under the age of 40 who have excelled in the oil and gas sector. The campaign invited the general public to nominate fitting candidates, by filling in an online nomination form, and altogether 126 nominations were received for consideration, for the prestigious ‘20 Under 40 Women in Energy & Extractives’ awards, Oil & Gas Edition.
Working in tandem with Barrel magazine, WEEN’s executive committee then chose a select group of their members to constitute the nominations panel, which narrowed down the 126 to 20. Barrel magazine has published the 20 women with their photos, profiles and outstanding achievements. In
partnership with Uganda Chamber of Mines and Petroleum (UCMP), there will be an awards ceremony for the selected 20 women to be held on Thursday, April 18, 2024, 6-7pm at Kampala Serena Hotel.
