Oil and gas could bring billions to countries in East Africa – but only if used responsibly.

Oxfam America and the Brookings Institution hosted a conference yesterday on the East African oil and gas boom. Speakers from government, the private sector, civil society, think tanks and academia examined what this means for the region.
