2 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 01 Crops Development Project Profiles and Medium Term Funding Projections Project : 0104 Support for Tea Cocoa Seedlings Implementing Agency: Responsible Officer: MAAIF CCPM Location: Coordinated in Kampala and implemented in the tea growing regions Total Expenditure (UGX bn): 24.000 Previous Expenditure (UGX bn): 9.900 Total Planned Expenditures (UGX bn): 2.100 Funds Secured (UGX bn): Funding Gap (UGX bn): Start Date: Completion Date: Background: 2.470 0.000 01/07/2004 30/06/2018 The project is relevant with NDP II and ASSP in such a way that it aims at increasing production and Productivity of Tea, a crop which is among the 10 National Priority Commodities and Cocoa, which is a key strategic high value commodity.


Under the Sectoral Policy Objectives of MAAIF, the two commodities will raise rural household incomes to shs 20 million for every farming household per year.

The income will increase family livelihoods and welfare of the population.

The exports of the two commodities will increase foreign exchange earnings of Uganda.
Background The Project was started by Uganda Government, to Promote and increase Tea and Cocoa production and productivity in Uganda in order to increase household incomes, reduce poverty of the farmers and increase foreign exchange earnings of the country.
Tea For tea, under Non-ATAAS component of DSIP, and ASSP the target is to plant 2,500 hectares of tea per annum and to have a cumulative area planted of 12,500 hectares by the year 2018 on top of the 28,000 hectares that had been planted by 2012/13.

Tea production by the year 2018 is estimated to be 100 million kgs and the benefits will include foreign exchange earnings estimated at USD 160 million to the economy, in addition to rural employment opportunities for over 100,000 persons.
Cocoa Uganda‟s, Cocoa production and exports increased from 6,000 MTs in the FY 2004/05 to 22,010 MTs in FY 2013/14, while income earned increased from US $ 8.7 million to US $ 58.8 million during the same period.

This steady growth in Cocoa production and export earnings, has made Cocoa the 4th highest revenue generator in Uganda (9% of total income) behind Coffee, Fish and Tea.
The increase in production and exports of Cocoa came up as a result of the support 3 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 01 Crops given to farmers by the Support to Tea / Cocoa Seedlings Project (0104) of MAAIF, the combined efforts of stakeholders and the high international market prices, which have remained steady for the last 7 years.
In view of the above, there is therefore need to sustain the above achievements and even score higher growth rates by investing more resources in the production value chain of Cocoa, at the farmers‟ level through acreage expansion, increased production technology promotion, marketing, primary processing, Quality assurance, Value addition and exports.

The target is to increase Cocoa production for export from 22,010 MTs up to 50,000 MTs, which will earn Uganda USD $ 145 million in the next 5 years.
This increase in production will benefit a total of 30,000 farming households.

To achieve the above target will require planting another 25,000 ha (25 million cocoa seedlings) on top of the existing 25,000ha in both the traditional and new districts by the year 2018.
Planting will be done concurrently with mobilisation and sensitization of farmers on; Field establishment and management, Pest and disease control, demonstrations of advanced production technologies, harvesting, primary processing and quality control and storage.

Objectives: i) To increase Cocoa production in the traditional and new growing areas ii).

To increase household incomes of Cocoa farmers iii) To increase foreign exchange earnings of Uganda, through exports of Cocoa.
Link with the NDP: The project is in line with NDP II and ASSP.

It contributes towards priority 1 of increasing production and productivity of tea and cocoaand Priority 3 (improving access to markets and value addition Expected Outputs: • • Modern Cocoa production technologies e.g appropriate planting hole technology, budding, Chupon re-growth, coppicing, treatment of pruned wounds with tar and Cocoa tree structural thinning demonstrated to farmers and district extension staff.

The Government is also investing in the development of oilseed crops (sunflower, soybean, sesame & groundnuts) value chains in fifty one districts in Eastern, Western and Northern Uganda.

Uganda continues to import about 60-70% of its edible oil and soap needs, just like most of the neighboring countries in East Africa.

Population growth and rising incomes continue to fuel an annual growth rate of 9% in domestic and regional demand for vegetable oil and its by-products.
The Government is pursuing an import substitution approach to reduce imports by increasing domestic production.

VODP 2 is Uganda‟s strategic effort to increase domestic vegetable oil production, address rural poverty by involving farmers in oil crops production and improve the health of the population through increased vegetable oil intake.

Oil is an important food essential for brain development and the provision of calories to the body.
Compared to a global average 8 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 01 Crops consumption of oils and fats of 22.4 kg per person per year, Uganda‟s per capita consumption at, 5.6 kg is quite low and the intake is expected to rise to 7kg by 2018.

The idea was conceived after SIAD project in MAAIF and NERICA Promotion project in NARO (NaCRRI - Namulonge) merged the donor funding starting in November 2011 to create the Promotion of Rice Development (PRIDE) Project supported by Japan International Cooperation Agency.

The merging of projects was done in order enhance MAAIF and its agencies more efficiently coordinate rice activities so as to achieve the targets set in the National Rice Development Strategy (NRDS), i.e.
doubling rice production in Uganda from about 165,000 Mt in 2008 to about 340,000 Mt in 2015 and to create rice self sufficiency in Uganda by 2018.

The DSIP and Commodity Approach The Agriculture Sector has developed Agriculture Sector Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP, 2014/15).

Rice is one of the priority commodities for implementation of the DSIP.

This project will contribute to the attainment of sub-programs 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 3.1 and 4.1. of the DSIP.
Since 2008, the rice industry has had an institutional framework for accelerating its development.

This framework has been a reference point as the sector adopted the commodity approach in which rice is one of the priority crops.

This project is aligned to the commodity farmework.

Objectives: The 1238 Rice Development project targets to contribute more than 10% to the NRDS target by increasing rice production in Uganda by at least 20,000MT by 2016.
This will be achieved through the following five (5) year outputs: 1.

Rice production in Uganda increased by 20,000MT.

2.

Capacity of 120 rice millers built to enable them upgrade their rice mills to turn out milled rice of at least Grade 3 of UNBS standard.

Following the project support, the beneficiaries of the project produced about 150 MT of rice seed which transforms into about 4,500 MT of rice.
In addition, 40 rice millers were trained though there are still gaps in them actually upgrading their machines.

These outputs generally meet the target of FY 2012/13 which was increasing production by 4,000MT i.e.

20% of the 5 year target despite gaps in improving milling efficiency especially as obtaining loans involves critical decision making by the borrower.

Indeed, over the last five years, agricultural growth rates have even been lower averaging at 2.06% pa between 2007/8 to 2011/12.

It has also lagged behind the GDP growth rates, which averaged at 6.36% pa over the same five-year period.

The agricultural growth is still far below the 6% set in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) Compact and the National Development Plan.
Consequently, Agriculture‟s contribution to the GDP has been falling drastically, while the agricultural workforce has remained constant at 75% of the population.

In the year 2009, agriculture‟s contribution to GDP was 23.5% reducing to 22.9% in 2011/12.

To target domestic and regional markets, production clusters for specific commodities will be established and growth poles strengthened within the agro-ecological zones.
A commodity cluster is a contiguous area, the size of a district or bigger, where there is already a concentration of value chain actors (producers, traders, processors, service providers, etc) as well as requisite infrastructure combining to provide opportunities for the best possible return on extra investments in the commodity value chain for export to the regional market.
To meet the projected export values above, the corresponding production volumes and acreages of the respective commodities estimated.

Tables 3-6 present the volumes and acreages of the respective commodities.

Scope of the Project The project scope includes interventions on: a)Five commodity value chains: maize, beans, rice, cassava, and fish in the selected clusters .

b)Four cross-cutting interventions for boosting production and productivity: increasing access to and use of: improved seeds and planting materials; fertilizers, mechanization and provision of water for agricultural production.
These technologies and associated services are largely in the domain of the private sector but require Government support in terms of an enabling environment that provides incentives to attract investment.

The Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) is the most plausible mechanism for engagement with the private sector to avoid market distortions and ensure sustainability of service delivery.
In the first two years, the project is envisaged to cover twelve clusters with each cluster comprising of two to three districts.

Subsequently, the project coverage will be progressively expanded to cover more clusters and districts building on the experience and momentum generated during the first two years.

Objectives: Project goal: Increased exports of selected commodities to the East African and COMESA markets leading to improved balance of trade.

Project Purpose: i.
Project Purpose: i.

Enhanced production and productivity of selected commodities for exports to the regional markets ii.
Increased proportion of selected commodities marketed to the regional markets through formal channels Specific Objectives (a)Increased farmer access and use of yield enhancing technologies including improved seeds and planting materials, fertilizers, labour saving technologies and water for agricultural production; (b)Sustainable increase in the value and quantity of agricultural products (primary and value added) marketed in the EA and COMESA regional markets; (c)Improved enabling environment for increased private sector investment, participation and fair play in agricultural value chains; (d)Strengthened capacities of farmers, farmer institutions, private sector firms and associations and public sector agencies in fulfilling their roles in the agricultural sector.
Link with the NDP: The Project is in line with NDP II and the ASSP.

It contributes towards Priority 1 of increasing Agriculture Production and Productivity of the priority commodities of which the commodities in the cluster project are.
Expected Outputs: Expected Export targets The expected export targets for the selected district clusters are as follows; 21 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 01 Crops Commodity Current Exports (mt) Export Targets (mt) Year 5 % Change Maize 476,570 1,121,007 135% Rice 60,000 187,387 212% Beans 177,690 370,883 108% Cassava 63,441 212,286 234% In addition to the export market, the increased outputs from the project will also provide for the local market for direct consumption, raw materials for the local industry (cassava) and by-products for related industry sub-sectors especially feed livestock.
4.

Strategies To realize the above targets, the following strategies will be pursued: • Establish production clusters for the selected commodities (maize, rice, beans and cassava) and strengthen growth poles within the agro-ecological zones.
• Intensify production through application of the following productivity enhancing technologies; • Focus on improving marketing (especially bulking & value addition) as key pull factors, and also to address chronic price fluctuations that have been a major disincentive to farmers.

• Application of value chain approach in addressing constraints in the selected commodities to ensure sustainable access of Uganda‟s agricultural production in the regional markets.

The DSIP has now been succeeded by the Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan (ASSP), 2015/16 – 2019.

The overall objective of the recently launched National Agriculture Policy is to ensure food security and increased incomes at household level.

Likewise the ASSP two development objectives are 1) improved food & nutrition security and 2) improved incomes.
African governments including Uganda have signed the Malabo Declaration on CAADP which among others commits the member countries to end hunger and reduce stunting to 10% by 2025.

The agriculture sector ASSP is the national implementing framework for the CAADP, thus nutrition is expected to be streamlined in the ASSP investment plans.
Given the current prevalence of stunting (33%) in the country, there is need for a strong nutrition focus in the key sectors, notably agriculture and health to enable the country achieve its national and regional targets.

However, up till 2012, only two key sub-programmesof the DSIP (agricultural research and extension) out of 22 had been operationalized.

These are being implemented through the Agricultural Technology and Agribusiness Advisory Services (ATAAS) Project.
The ATAAS project has been focusing on technology generation, provision of agribusiness advisory services and creating the needed interface between the National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) and extension.
As part of the efforts to fully implement the outgoing DSIP, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) with the technical support from the World Bank and Financial Support from DFID and the Royal Netherlands Government and its own resources completed formulation of 23 Action Plans to operationalize the other non-ATAAS sub-programmes.

The Plan was launched on November 1, 2012 by the Vice-President of the Republic of Uganda during the 2012 Joint Agricultural Sector Review meeting.
However, all these interventions were mostly focusing on commodity production and productivity and increasing exports both for regional and international markets.

Likewise the current ASSP has largely inherited the outgoing investment approach (production and productivity and export promotion) previously under the DSIP.
As one of the endeavors to increase the agriculture sector contribution towards improving nutrition status in Uganda, MAAIF through the Global Agriculture Food Security Program will implement the Multisectoral Food Security and Nutrition Project in 15 districts under a phased approach starting with five districts namely: Namutumba, Ntungamo, Bushenyi, Maracha and Nebbi.

The project will be implemented in close collaboration with the Ministries of Health and Education and Sports.
Objectives: The project development objective is to increase production and consumption of nutrient-rich foods and utilization of community-based nutrition services in smallholder households in project areas.

Theproject will innovatively use the primary schools under the universal primary education programas a transfer pathway for both agriculture and health based nutrition friendly technologies and services.
Specific Objectives a)To increase and diversify production of nutritious foods, b) To improve nutrition knowledge and practices especially in the “critical window” of conception through 23 months, c)To strengthen coordination mechanisms between agriculture, health, and education sectors to address cross-cutting nutrition issues.

Although National Agriculture Advisory Services (NAADS) and Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF) under the GOU have attained some of their respective objectives, a lot remains to be done.

Performance of these government interventions has been limited partly due to parallel structure of agriculture extension made up of NAADS on one hand and the traditional extension system on the other, and also the shortage of technical guidance or capabilities while stressing direct provision of agricultural inputs.
Similar to the government program, a number of DPs have also earnestly been involved in projects such as Agricultural Livelihoods Recovery Program (ALREP) and Restoration of Agricultural Livelihoods in Northern Uganda (RALNUC) under the European Union and Danish Government respectively, for the improvement of livelihoods for the people of Acholi Sub-region.
Although both programs have been successfully carried out to create a positive impact on household incomes of target farmer groups, there is no direct involvement of government officials both at central and district levels.

This leaves issues of sustainability and replicability after completion of the projects unaddressed.
Regardless of these interventions on livelihoods enhancement, there remains a huge gap that could be bridged by other stakeholders particularly in light of the fact that many households are still suffering from low productivity of their farming operations with slight increase of their income.
1.2 Japanese Support in the North The Japanese Government through Japanese International Development Agency (JICA) started with setting up of a field office in Gulu (2009) to coordinate development assistance for Northern Uganda and contribute to the resettlement of Internally Displaced People (IDPs), restoration of peace, acceleration of recovery and promotion of the development.
JICA‟s Reconstruction Assistance Program (REAP), is constituted with the following three core objectives; 51 Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources to the smooth return of IDPs to their ancestral villages and to stimulate economic activities in the sub-region, in addition to the construction of classrooms for existing schools and boreholes for resettled communities to restore the normal life of the returnees Public Investment Plan deliver better services to the communities and the people of the region subsistent agriculture practices Since its inception in 2009, REAP has achieved commendable results through various projects.
Some figures of physical facilities constructed under REAP are as follows; road between Olwiyo and Atiak in Nwoya district.

This has enabled the smooth movement and transportation of people and goods.
Kitgum, Lamwo, Pader, and Agago districts districts In addition, there is an on-going technical cooperation project, Project for Capacity Development in Planning and Implementation of Community Development, also known as ACAP, being implemented under the Ministry of Local Government with a cooperation period of 4 years; November 2011 to November 2015.
The project aims at strengthening the management capabilities of local government officials through on-the–job training on the process of planning, procuring, implementing, and monitoring for their own development projects.

Currently the project activities are focused in four districts of Amuru, Nwoya, Kitgum, and Pader.
Under ACAP, a total of sixty six (66) boreholes were constructed as pilot projects and thirty eight (38) motorbikes were donated to the district governments to facilitate monitoring and management activities to be done by the district officials.

Looking at the structure of JICA‟s REAP program, all these interventions shall culminate in the enhancement of living standards to be reflected by increase in household income of the IDP camp returnees.
In other words, the economic and social infrastructure development and capacity building of local administration could become more meaningful only when the livelihoods of war affected people is improved upon in comparison with previous years and further anticipated to improve in following years.
The ultimate goal of raising household income could be attained by the increase in agriculture productivity and proper marketing of produce since majority of households in the region depend on agriculture for their livelihood.

Objectives: To establish an effective agriculture extension system based on a market oriented approach to improve farmers‟ livelihoods.
Link with the NDP: This project is aimed at improving livelihoods of farmers hence contributing towards the Agricultural Sector Strategic Plan (ASSP) 52 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources Expected Outputs: i.

Technical description of the project: Coverage The project will be carried out in selected agricultural communities in seven (7) districts of Acholi Sub-region, namely, Gulu, Kitgum, Pader, Agago, Lamwo, Amuru, and Nwoya.
The benefitted farmers groups will be selected by district offices with a certain set criteria to be agreed upon between the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) and JICA in advance.

The project headquarters will be set up in Gulu district and project coordination offices in the other six districts.
In light of vast expanse of Acholi sub-region, benefitted farmer groups will be selected alternately among seven districts where each group could secure the direct intervention of Project Implementation Unit in two consecutive years.
5.2 Activities a) Output 1: Skills and knowledge of agricultural extension workers of Acholi sub-regions on agricultural production built During past over ten years agricultural extension services in the rural communities of Uganda were provided mostly by NAADS coordinators, which were proved not functional, thus, being dismantled in June, 2014.
Currently the Government of Uganda is in a process of reformation of agricultural extension system with more focus on the MAAIF as major driving force of agricultural extension services on the ground.
Since services to be provided by extension workers shall be keys to the success of the Project, their capacity must be enhanced through following activities; by MAAIF and its institutions training at demonstration plots set by Farmers‟ groups provide technical support 53 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources b) Output 2: Production and productivities of selected crops including vegetables increased After almost twenty years‟ absence from agricultural land, farmers lack basic knowledge and skills on agricultural production.
In the same breath, extension workers also need skills enhancement in order to provide better services to the farmers.
For the achievement of Output 2, the following activities will be conducted; appropriate intervention to increase production and productivities of selected agricultural produce including market needs, where vegetables and fruits being essential but food crops not being excluded at the initial stage of the Project practices at the established demonstration plots scale irrigation, and farming mechanization, etc.
c) Output 3: Better access of produce to market secured through Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP) approach Agricultural produce should be brought into targeted markets at the right time, in right shape and volume, where it could be sold at prices determined by the market.
In order to facilitate proper marketing of agricultural produce the following activities are carried out; meetings, workshops, and market surveys promote better linkages for proper handling and marketing of agricultural produce, which is normed as Farm Business Linkage Stakeholder (FABLIST) forum in SHEP Approach of farmers farming activities and negotiations with prospective buyers of their farm produce d) Output 4: Nutritious status of participating households members, children in particular, improved Advantages to grow vegetables on-farm will not limit to the profitability of produce in market places but entail the improvement of nutrition status of families who could naturally consume the produce at home.
The domestic consumption of vegetable in Uganda and in Northern Uganda in particular stays at low level which attributes to poor profile of nutrition and health status of children in Northern Uganda.
In order to contribute to this end, following activities will be incorporated in the Project; 54 Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources Public Investment Plan groups on the importance of vegetables rich in vitamins essential for the balanced growth of body and brain particularly for children through which the production and subsequent consumption of vegetables could be further accelerated.
These activities will be conducted by Project Implementation Unit to be comprised of Japanese experts dispatched by JICA and their counterparts assigned by MAAIF and concerned districts.

With assignment of long term experts from Japan who are conversant with agronomy in tropical agriculture, extension officers and farmers can while working hand in hand with them learn necessary technologies in an efficient manner.

Honeybees play an important, but little recognized role in most terrestrial ecosystems where there is green vegetation cover for at least 3 to 4 months each year.

In Uganda, honeybees are a „wonderful‟ resource for natural resource conservation and improvement of agricultural crop yields; not forgetting production of valuable bee products, which are of various socio-economic importance.

However, there is an exponential reduction in the number of honeybees each year.
This is mainly due to chemical poisoning (especially pesticides); land clearing for agricultural and industrial development; and bush fires, which destroy honeybees and their fodder (bee-forage).

Because of the key role played by honeybees in growth, employment and prosperity for all, Government of Uganda has put in place policy and planning frameworks that support the apiculture sub-sector.
The key ones are the: National Development Plan (NDP); priorities in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF); Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP);Millennium Development Goals (MDGs);National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (2003); and sectoral policies and legislations.

Objectives: I.

Develop guidelines for use in the conservation of bees at district level.

II.

Impart skills and knowledge to stakeholders in management of bee-reserves.

III.
III.

Build capacity of District Local Governments for strategic bee management planning.

IV.

Establish mechanisms for quality assurance, monitoring and evaluation of bee management programs.

Technical description of the project: Honeybees have to be protected because of the important socio-economic contributions they make to Uganda.
For example they: i.

Ensure crop re¬production through pollination ii.

Enhanceplant biodiversity with the resultant improvement in ecosystem.

Iii.

Are sources of income generation for the rural communities through sale of beehive products (medicinal and nutritional).

Uganda‟s honey production potential is estimated at 500,000 MT per year (Horn, 2004), which if realized would be worth UGX 5 trillion or US$ 1.9 billion per year.
Domestic demand for honey is estimated at 40,000 MT but only 5,000 MT is in the market (Uganda Export Promotion Board, 2005).

Approximately 10,000 MT is marketed and consumed in rural areas [The Uganda National Apiculture Development Organization (TUNADO), 2012].

Since 2005 Uganda has been licenced to export honey into the European Union market.
The project has been formulated to support honey and other beehive products production Achievements for FY 2015/16: • Organized project beneficiary selection training trips and meetings in 16 project districts of Lyantonde, Masaka, Mpigi, Wakiso, Mityana, Mukono, Lwengo, Kalungu, Bukomansimbi, Sembabule, Gomba,Luwero, Nakaseke, Nakasongola, Mubende and Kiboga.
At least 800 participants attended the meetings, including farmers, district officials, security 58 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources personnel and media personnel, with women and youth representation.
• Procured beekeeping equipment: 135 KTB beehives, 05 KTB catcher boxes, 05 hive tools, 21 smokers, 21 pairs of gloves, 21 pairs of gumboots, 21 bee suits, 12 air-tight food grade buckets and 05 sets of fencing materials).

• Fuel provided for backstopping the establishment and project site confirmation of bee reserve mother colonies.

• Two (02) old vehicles maintained in good running condition (tyres, other spares and repairs were provided).
Plan of operation: The project will achieve its objectives through the following plan of action; • Development and use of guidelines in conservation of bees at district level supported • Prepare and print 240 copies of the guidelines for establishment of bee-reserves • Disseminate project guidelines to major stakeholders • Build capacity of 24 DEOs to monitor the management of bees in bee-reserves • Undertake a baseline/case study on the status and importance of bees in agricultural and protected (near forest reserves and NPs) ecosystems from the 24 project districts in Uganda.
• Develop at least 24District Bee Development Plans (DBDP) to guide strategic bee sub-sector operation in the project districts.

• Provide bee fodder seedlings and beekeeping and management equipment (beehives and protective gears) to farmers for establishment of bee-reserves in the 24 project districts.

• Develop 48 model bee-reserve plans (2 per district) to be used as a model for bee conservation at the farm level, and mainstreaming into DDPs and relevant programs of the district.

They are related to resurgence of such diseases globally but especially so in developing world following policy reforms that largely fragmented the chain of veterinary command.

Such chain is required for mandatory notification / reporting when diseases occur and a quick response to animal disease emergencies.
While the reforms had a positive side of bringing services nearer to the people; they also had a negative side in that they tended to weaken the administrative, legal and financial capacity for the delivery of animal disease emergency services.
However, Cabinet in Uganda recalled the mandatory services of animal disease / vector control and their regulatory services back to the centre (MAAIF) in 2007 due to continued increases in diseases that affected livelihoods of famers and access of products to the international market.

MAAIF restructured itself (2010) to among others address the recall and is its implementation through the DSIP.
But this requires institutional strengthening with technical hard and soft infrastructure, systems and processes which are still inadequate due to inadequate capital development financing.
To further support the need to invest in failing systems: 63 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources In 2010, PAN Livestock Services, a UK consulting firm, completed a consultancy to formulate an Animal Health Master Plan (AHMP) for MAAIF the plan still unfunded has five purposes to: i.

Effectively control Trans boundary Animal Diseases, ii.
Put in place a strong national laboratory system, iii.

Develop and establish export pathway infrastructure for high value Uganda meat and meat products, iv.

Support the development and extension of primary veterinary public health systems, v.Improve the organizational planning and regulations for control of animal diseases.
Objectives: The overall objective is for the Project To create a conducive capital investment atmosphere in the livestock sub-sector that will see increased employment opportunities related to improved animal health by: Putting in place, operationalization and use of technical infrastructure to prevent– control and or eradicate contagious and other major animal diseases that will enhance increased animal productivity; food security; food safety; local – regional and international market access for animal products such as meat, milk, hides and skins, honey, horn tips etc.
; the reduction in poverty and improvement of the associated human health.

Availability of a constructed modern national veterinary vaccine and drug store (hard infrastructure) that is stocked with adequate and quality state controlled animal disease vaccines and drugs (soft infrastructure) used optimally.
Technical description of the project: Since epidemic, contagious, other major animal diseases and diseases communicable from animals to man (all here called disease emergences) and their related vectors are Trans-boundary in nature thus not recognising farm units, local and international borders; the Project will be national in scope by installing, operationalising and using the hard and soft technical infrastructure to protect the country from: -The entry of animal diseases from outside countries; -Animal diseases transiting the country; -Animal diseases being exported out of the country and -Containing diseases located within the country.
The technical infrastructure will be put strategically, operationalised and used at: MAAIF Headquarters, MAAIF Zonal Offices, all districts and in sub-counties.
The main objective is to create national technical capacity to implement the constitutional emergency preparedness and management requirements; epidemic disease control as related to their standards and regulation in Uganda while also addressing harmonised Regional strategies and international animal products market access requirements and the related public health.
Most of the historically available and elaborate animal disease emergency infrastructure put in place and operational from 1908 collapsed from 1971 onwards.

This has greatly exposed Uganda to contagious and major animal diseases leading to heavy economic losses and related public health effects.

Most of the infrastructure is currently either destroyed, became obsolete overtime or went into disuse and decayed out.
The new and or upgraded infrastructure put in place and operationalised by the project would lead to: i.

All stakeholders being regularly and or strategically informed /sensitized / communicated to about animal diseases, ii.

Immediate notification / reporting to MAAIF of any emergency regarding epidemics / disease occurrence and vector prevalence would be made by use of a national veterinary surveillance infrastructure put in place, iii.
Such notifications would immediately trigger emergency responses and actions by first making a rapid field assessment and confirmation of causative disease agent by use of the national laboratory infrastructure put in place.

iv.
iv.

This would be followed by setting, declaring and enforcing of animal quarantine restrictions on the areas of disease outbreak by use of the national animal quarantine infrastructure put in place, v.Specific appropriate disease control strategies such as: ring vaccinations in affected flocks / herds and along high disease risk or infected stock routes would be undertaken to ensure that more than 80% vaccination coverage in such herds / flocks is reached e.g.
for contagious diseases like FMD to deter further outbreaks and or epidemics or for outbreaks of treatable animals diseases such as Trypanosomiasis by block treatment of animals to reach 100% of affected herds / flocks would be undertaken by use of the constructed modern veterinary vaccine and drug store that is adequately stocked, vi.
During animal disease free times; preventive measures would be taken to deter entry of disease as compared to the above disease control measures during disease outbreak times by use of the infrastructure, while vii.
Eradication of disease would also be taken for FMD, PPR and possibly Brucellosis by use of OIE related pathways in Uganda to enable reduction on losses, improved production and access to global markets of the animal products which should also be safe and thus free from diseases of public health significance.
The main beneficiaries and target of the project will be the: farmers themselves, consumers, the general public, livestock / livestock product traders – transporters – abattoir operators, Customs, other central government agencies, research, related civil society and related non-government.
The project spans across all sectors of the economy thus giving a boost in disease control, production / productivity, food security, agro-processing / value addition, employment, environmental 65 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources conservation (related to control of Trypanosomiasis) and protection / improvement of public health for sustainable economic growth The Project will have an administrative Component managed by the National Project Coordinator and the following Components managed by Assistant Commissioners of the respective Divisions in the Department of Animal Health: i.

The prospects of improving the livelihood of the poor by strengthening their livestock production are substantial.

Accordingly, the Vision 2040, NDP, NAP, DSIP and PFA have identified livestock and especially cattle as one of the key contributors to the poverty alleviation interventions.

About 60% of households keep cattle.

Furthermore, recent studies show that on average, sales of cattle typically account for about 52% of annual household cash income in livestock keeping households.
For such households, livestock also functions as an asset and safety net to be sold to meet urgent cash needs.

Countrywide, farmers clearly see livestock as a means to improve their livelihood and escape poverty.

On the Worldwide scene, there is increase in the demand for livestock products arising from the current global trend towards urbanization.
In terms of quantities, studies have projected that by 2020, global meat demand, which stood at 208 million tons in 1997, would have grown by 57 per cent (118 million) by 2020.

Developing countries alone will consume 102 million metric tons more meat than they consumed in 1997.

The effect of growth in global demand of meat is already visible as some of the countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE have expressed interest in Ugandan meat.
In additional to the general increase in demand for meat, there is a growing preference for organic meat and meat products raised on natural Pastures.

In that regard therefore, developing countries such as Uganda that still have abundant grazing rangelands are better positioned to supply this premium market.
The developments enumerated above present a window of opportunity for Uganda to boost rural incomes and accelerate the pace of poverty reduction among the smallholder livestock farmers especially through meat export if importer requirements are met.

The implementation of the Uganda Meat export Development Project has generated regional and international interest in Ugandan meat.
As a result, investments in livestock production and processing are steadily increasing among which include; Egypt-Uganda Food Security Company Limited (in advanced stages), Uganda Halal Meat Company, MAFFEPROS and Uganda Farmers Meat Company.
Based on the above situation where the private sector has continued to move at a very fast pace while the public sector is still lags behind with its bureaucracy, there is need to take note of and support some of the very critical public support services that are hither to nonexistent.

It is imperative that MAAIF positions itself ready to play its regulatory role and providing favorable environment to support meat export.
The project seeks to establish non existing public support services which are essential for the acceptance of Ugandan meat in regional markets mainly Egypt.
Notable among these are: • Meat export grade Veterinary Quarantine and inspection stations • A livestock identification and traceability system to guarantee trace back in cases of any food safety challenges • Export Institutional and Technical capacity at all levels of the meat value chain Objectives: 68 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources The Main Objective of this project is to establish a credible National veterinary Meat Export Support Service.
THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: 1.

To construct, equip and operate veterinary Export quarantine stations 2.

To establish and operate a livestock identification and traceability system 3.

 To establish adequate meat Export technical capacity in the meat export value chain Link with the NDP: The project is in line with NDP II and ASSP contributing specifically to Priority 3 (improving access to agricultural markets and value addition) Expected Outputs: 1.
Functional veterinary Export quarantine stations established 2.

A Livestock identification and traceability system implemented 3.

Sufficient manning and satisfactory competence in all positions of importance related to meat export value chain Performance Indicators: 1.

Number of functional veterinary meat Export quarantine stations and inspection/ checkpoints established 2.

Number of cattle registered on the registration, identification and traceability system 3.
Sufficient manning and satisfactory competence in all positions of importance related to meat export Technical description of the project: CONSTRUCTING AND EQUIPPING OF VETERINARY EXPORT QUARANTINE STATIONS For some export markets such as Egypt, it is a mandatory requirement to “keep the animals under quarantine situation for at least 15 days before slaughtering.
Therefore before slaughter, the cattle are to be held under observation and testing at approved Export quarantine stations to ensure freedom from diseases of international trade interest.

Only those animals that satisfy the health requirements will be transported to the approved export slaughter houses in sealed vehicles”.

Unfortunately we currently do not have approved or gazetted infrastructures in the country for this purpose.
To support an abattoir of a slaughter capacity of 250 heads of cattle per day demand quarantine facilities that can keep about 4000-5000 heads of cattle in a cycle of 15 days.

The necessary facilities for the establishments will include: Fenced Holding grounds equipped with crushes, paddocks or compartments with feed and water troughs, dips, staff accommodation, offices, stores, testing facilities (small laboratories) for rapid analysis (incl.

microscope, incubator, chiller/freezer, etc.


), Local water supply, Furniture and equipment, IT and communication equipment, vehicles and operation funds).

In addition, the animals will require that the movements be restricted for ease of inspection and monitoring hence the need for a steady supply of water and dry forage.

ESTABLISHING A CREDIBLE LIVESTOCK IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY SYSTEM.
Livestock Identification and Traceability System is the ability to identify and follow up an animal on the basis of a peculiar identification mark allotted to it and know its owner as well as the premises where the animal was born or has been reared, housed or kept, slaughtered and consumed.
LITS is a combination of activities that identify the premises, owners of the animal, person(s) responsible for the animal(s), registers individual animals with a unique identifier, while linking movements and other records with the animal‟s unique identifier.
69 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources International Food safety requirements demand that any food product (meat inclusive) must be traced along the value chain though a credible system.

The livestock registered on the system will be allocated unique individual identification numbers that are linked to information in the system on owner, bio data, location etc.
Additional information such as livestock traders, transporters and enforcement staff and handling establishments will also be registered on the system.

The system will be accessible to all users at the central and district levels especially the enforcement agencies.

This is already partially being implemented in Karamoja under OPM for security reasons.
The current situation where it is not easy to trace those defaulting animals movement regulations will be minimized and defaulters could now be sanctioned or punished as the case may demand.

For export purposes, all livestock movements to and from quarantine stations and abattoirs will be authorized, registered and monitored electronically.

Electronic movement permits will be used.


ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE TECHNICAL CAPACITY IN THE MEAT EXPORT VALUE CHAIN Until now meat export has not been a practice in the country.

Therefore to start meat export demands that a technical capacity building initiative be undertaken.

The government must look at recruitment, training, tooling of the appropriate personnel.
These personnel will be responsible for; • Coordination of all meat inspection activities and cattle movements to and from quarantine station and abattoir • Ensuring proper hygiene and sanitization of the slaughter facilities, equipment and workers • Overseeing the establishment and implementation of the Quality Management System(HACCP,GMP & ISO) in the facilities • Examination of animals brought to the Quarantine stations and abattoirs • Animal health certification services Achievements for FY 2015/16: • Framework for the development of the LITS system has been produced • Field visits undertaken in the districts of Kampala, Wakiso, Mpigi, Mityana, Luwero, Nakaseke, Nakasongola and Masindi • Draft guidelines have been developed • The LITS guidelines pretesting undertaken in Kabarole, Kasese, Bushenyi, Sheema, Kibuku, Palisa, Mbale and Kumi • Draft Manual of Standard Operating Procedures for Meat Inspection and Quality Assurance has been developed • Field visits undertaken in the districts of Kampala, Wakiso, Luwero, Nakaseke, Mbarara, Mukono, Buikwe, Jinja, Iganga, Mbale, Soroti, Mpigi, Kalungu, Masaka, and Lwengo • Favorable sites identified in Nakasongola, Mpigi, Kyankwanzi, Kiruhura, Kibuku and Kayunga • Farmer sensitization on LITS undertaken in Masindi, Bulisa, Hoima, Nakasongola, Kiryandongo and Lyantonde • Support supervision and technical backup of the Bombo Export abattoir Plan of operation: Identification and selection of sites Design a traceability system, Procurement of identification and

This leaves many communities exposed, as these livelihoods are very vulnerable during periods of drought.

While there have been many interventions in the sector that focus on national level issues related to building resilience to drought, there is a profound need for well-coordinated interventions that also address issues at the regional level.
Towards strengthened commitment and increased resources from the international community, the project will ensure that regionally focused interventions are included in this renewed approach.

Regional priority issues identified through a broad stakeholder consultation process led by IGAD include market access and trade (including transport and market development, trans-boundary animal disease, pastoral mobility for trade, etc.
), trans-boundary natural resource management (including water and land access), trans-boundary migration and livelihood strategies, and trans-boundary conflicts and disaster risk management.

Key regional interventions would include policy work, infrastructure development, institution building and capacity development.

Regarding sub-regional trade institutional context Uganda is a member of the East Africa Community (EAC) in which both a Custom Union and a Common Market have been established.
Uganda is also a member of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) where a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has been signed.

Currently, and despite the important non-trade barriers affecting it, many on-the-hoof animals are traded illegally between the countries of East Africa, and between these countries Somalia and Sudan.
The authorized but not controlled mobility of pastoral communities with their herds as a coping mechanism to the erratic rainfalls make the trade even more complicated to regulate.

Pastoral livelihoods resilience issues and challenges in the ASALs The ASALs are Uganda‟s dryland areas stretching from Karamoja region in the northeast, through central to the southwest of the country.

These areas are mainly rangelands and they cover approximately 84,000 sq.

km (about 40 percent) of the total land area.


They are characterised by; • Semi-arid and dry sub-humid conditions of low, unreliable and variable rainfall (450–800mm).

• Significant changes in weather patterns have increased variability and unpredictability of rainfall presenting a major threat to crop-based livelihoods, one of the key strengths of agro-pastoralists /pastoralists.
However the pastoralists have effective mechanisms to cope with changes in the distribution of rainfall, and to adapt to the impact of climate change.

• Frequent prolonged droughts and rainfall which is less regular makes perennial rivers turned into seasonal rivers.
• The cattle corridor experience (i) disruption of traditional transhumance corridors resulting in limitation to cattle movement (in many cases as a consequence of change in land tenure policies from communal property to individual titling); (ii)gazetting of vast areas for natural parks,; (ii) exploitation of mining deposits; (iv) land grabbing; and (iv) limitation of movements due to insecurity and government policies, (v)low tree cover and coupled with massive deforestation, caused mainly by tree felling for charcoal production, worsening the conditions of the rangeland resources.
Objectives: To enhance livelihoods resilience of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in drought prone areas through regional approaches.

75 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources Link with the NDP: The Project is in line with NDP II specifically contributing towards Priority 1.
It recognises that agriculture employs most of Uganda‟s working population and is where most livelihoods are vested, making it an important target for addressing poverty, food security and income generation, especially of the poor and of women.

Agriculture is also the basis of growth, and thus a stimulant for other sectors i.e., industry and services and undergirds Uganda‟s exports.
Agricultural Sector Development Strategy and Investment (DSIP 2010/11 – 2014/15); The DSIP has two development objectives: to increase rural incomes and livelihoods, and to improve household food and nutrition security.
The immediate objectives are to: (i) ensure sustainability of factor productivity; (ii) sustainably develop domestic, regional and international markets for primary and secondary agricultural products; (iii) create favourable legal, policy and institutional frameworks to facilitate private sector expansion and stimulate profitable value chains; and (iv) facilitate MAAIF and agencies functionality as a modern, client-oriented organization within an innovative, accountable and supportive environment.
The key areas of investment are enhancing Expected Outputs: • A regional early warning system that is linked to national systems • A regional drought response framework for IGAD and the proposed three countries • Harmonized policies on pastoral access and management of lands and natural resources • Improved surveillance and/or control of trans-boundary animal diseases • Economic benefits from enhanced access/services from local and regional markets • Enhanced livelihoods of women-headed pastoralist households Performance Indicators: • Increased resilience of pastoral and agro pastoral communities in the project area to address and manage the challenge of climate change, environment and livelihood • Percentage decrease of livestock death per households targeted by the project • Percentage increase in total real value of marketed livestock and livestock products per households targeted by the project • Percentage increase in livestock productivity of households targeted by the project • Percentage increase in agricultural yield for selected food crops and fodder per households targeted by the project Technical description of the project: The project will be implemented in 12 districts of Uganda with the aim of mitigating droughts‟ impact at the national levels by introducing regional interventions in complement to existing national initiatives.
It will build capacities in the government of Uganda and among pastoral and agro-pastoral communities from ASALs to increase resilience to medium- and long-term climate-related vulnerabilities, including droughts, and to increase resilience of livelihoods, with a focus on livestock-related livelihoods.
The project will focus on building and strengthening linkages between regional institutions and Ugandan Governments to address the issues that affect communities in the ASALs, which are related to livelihoods, pastoral risk management, natural resources management and access to market and trade.

The sub-sector contributes 2.5% to the National GDP, 12% to the Agricultural GDP and is a direct source of livelihood for more than 3,000,000 Ugandans in addition to being the leading supply of dietary animal protein in the country estimated at 50% of animal protein food.

The industry through backward and forward linkages supports other sectors such as oil and petroleum, beverages, transport and airline industry.
Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids which have health benefits including control of cholesterol levels in blood and can reduce the current heart and other health problems in the country.

However, its per capita consumption is at 10 kg which is far below 17kg as the recommended by World Health Organization.

.
.

While the stocks of most of the fishes in capture fish species have declined, the small pelagic fish species Rastrineobola argentea (Mukene) in lakes Victoria and Kyoga, and Neobola bredoi (Muziri), and Brycinus nurse (Rugooge) in Lake Albert have continued to register increase in biomass.

Mukene forms about 60% of the biomass of fish in Lake Victoria and 20% of fishery yield in Kyoga.

On the other hand, Ragoogi contributes 60% and Muziri 25% of the catches in Lake Albert.
The key constraints to increasing productivity, value addition and market access of fisheries include:; Limited funding and access to credit facilities; Inadequate infrastructure along the value chain; Inadequate and unreliable information and data to guide development and management of fisheries; Poor socio-economic conditions of fisherfolk; Declining fish stocks and species diversity; Excessive fishing effort; Use of destructive fishing gears and methods and capture, processing and marketing of immature fish; Degradation of the fish habitat; Inadequate technologies for harvesting small pelagic fishes; Limited information on production systems, processes and inputs in aquaculture; Poor handling and high post harvest losses; and Lack of market information.
This project is intended to increase and sustain fisheries production by: Promoting Aquaculture development through concentrating fish production units in aqua parks; Promoting Recovery of Depleted Stocks of the Large Commercial Fishes; Developing the Fishery of Small Pelagic Fishes; and Controlling the new breed of water weed Salvina and water hyacinth.
Each of these will be treated as a separate component of this program targeting provision infrastructure to further boost fisheries development along the value chain while linking them to markets for as to increase incomes of farmers.
Objectives: a)Promote aquaculture through establishment of concentrated aquaculture production systems (Aqua parks) in appropriate well watered valleys or watersheds b)Improve fish production through restocking of water bodies and strengthening fisheries infrastructure for co- management structures all BMUs, BMU networks and Lake Management Organization on 5 water bodies c)Strengthen the Fisheries Surveillance Unit and build its capacity to enable it support the monitoring and enforcement on all water bodies and increase the production and productivity of the natural fisheries stocks d)Facilitate the establishment of quality fish handling, value addition and marketing infrastructure for fish products at different fish landing sites so as to reduce post-harvest losses along the value chain e)Manage water hyacinth infestation and the new breed of water weed - Salvinia molesta on Uganda water bodies (lakes and rivers) to acceptable ecologically and economic levels Link with the NDP: 79 Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources the project is in ine with NDP II and ASSP specifically priority 1 increasing production and productivity Public Investment Plan Expected Outputs: Designs for construction of 2 aquaculture parks One (1 ) lake based aquaculture system designed 100 aquaculture farmers, service providers and technical staff trained 2 Suitable lakes for stocking identified 1 Stocked water body Management structures at restocked water bodies in place 3 xisting LMOs (LAKIMO and LAGBIMO) revived Fish and gazzetting of breeding areas and nursery grounds identified 50 BMUs supported to collect fisheries data and licensing on all the five major lakes Patrol boats maintained Designs for construction of boat docking jetty and repair center made At least 3 fisheries infrastructure for fish harvest handling and storage infrastructures designed Completed of fisheries

A park will have a private hatchery component constructed to produce and supply the fish seeds to farms at all the times.

A fish feed production industry will be supported to set up shop at the park to supply the farmers with feeds.

Most importantly the fish feed manufacturer will be encouraged to use locally based ingredients through contract farming so as to stimulate the crop industry through ready market of farmed ingredients close to the aquaculture park.
Restocking and co- management will aim at improving fish production through procurement of fish seed for restocking of public water bodies and strengthening fisheries infrastructure for co-management structures at BMUs, BMU networks and Lake Management Organization on 5 water bodies.
In order to strengthen monitoring on all water bodies using interceptor patrol boats shall conduct the following tasks:- Monitoring and prevention of illegal fishing; - Pursuit and detain illegal fishers; Load impounded illegal fishing contraband; Towing up vessels up to similar size; Operational at high speed in rough water conditions and Surveillance operations of UAV VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing).
Infrastructure development along the value chain will be supported by GOU through financing the infrastructure development as well as contracting private companies to construct infrastructure based value chain technologies.

Control of the new breed of weed and water hyacinth Manage water hyacinth infestation on Uganda water bodies (lakes and rivers) to acceptable ecologically and economic levels.
It will involve develop and implement effective control technologies for the emerging new aquatic weed Salvinia molesta and Najas horrida; Strengthening an effective aquatic weeds monitoring and communication system, Establish and equip 4 fisheries mechanization regional centers with specialized equipment and maintaining existing ones Achievements for FY 2015/16: • Procurement of a consultant to develop BoQs for establishing 2 aquaculture parks and a boat docking jetty at FTI has delayed due to long procurement process but is now 90%.
81 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 02 Animal Resources • The control of Kariba weed was implemented with distribution of manual control equipment and sensitization of communities.

Water hyacinth control was undertaken through biological control and manual control at landing sites.

• Monitoring of the infestation abundance and distribution on Lake Albert and Kyoga.
On Lake Kyoga, the percentage of infested area by aquatic weeds to the total water surface area was 26.4 % during January 2016, the floating weeds represent the 16.2% and the ditch bank weeds represent 10.2 % from the total surface area.

The percentage of floating weeds was 61.2 % while the ditch bank weeds was 38.8 % from the total area of aquatic weeds.
• On Lake Albert, the percentage of infested area by aquatic weeds to the total water surface area was 3.06 % during January 2016, the floating weeds represent the 1.057% and the ditch bank weeds represent 2 % from the total surface area.

The percentage of Floating weeds was 34.5 % while the ditch bank weeds was 65.5 % from the total area of aquatic weeds.
• While it was planned that 4 landing sites would be constructed, only 2 were completed (Butiaba in Bulisa) and Kiyindi in Buikwe due to resource limitation.

Kiyindi is operational while Butiaba has power connectivity problems.

Completion of 2 Aquaculture Research and Development Centres at Bushenyi and Gulu are at 90% completion.
The 3rd aquaculture research and development centre at Kajjansi is rated at 20% as it had implementation challenges arising out of the neighboring Entebbe express high way road works.

Plan of operation: The aquaculture parks will be designed and constructed by government.

Government will also invite private hatchery operators and support fish feed producers and suppliers to set up shop at each park to support the farmers.
A fish seed and fish feed credit system linked to sale of the farmers produce will be encouraged so as to provide for resource poor but knowledgeable and committed rural farmers to own and manage ponds in the park will be promoted and encouraged.

Every benefiting and participating farmer will have to undergo mandatory training in aquaculture production management at the site before being permitted to manage a production unit.
Each participating farmer will be leased a minimum of four units each of a quarter acre in size from which he can produce enough fish to sell and generate income.

Each aquaculture park will be linked to fish processing and/or trading company that will guarantee market for the farmed fish, and ensure that farmers meet their obligations to the fish seed and fish feed suppliers as well as the costs of technical guidance.
The pond units will be leased to farmers at a nominal fee so as to encourage all interested farmers across gender and socioeconomic status to participate in farming fish for poverty alleviation.

Pond/park management units (PMUs) will be established for effective management of the parks and crucial decision-making.

Suitable lake for stocking will be selected in collaboration with NaFIRRI and fish seed procured from key service providers.
After stocking management measures will be instituted to ensure the fish is scooped out before maturity.

Surveillance will be strengthened by procuring high speed interceptors and communication equipment and use of the agriculture police that is being created.Infrastructure development will consider undergoing works that will not be completed by end of FY 2014/15 and yet the projects catering for them has ended.
On weed control the Egyptian grant will provide technical assistance for one year using the funding already available.

An integrated approach involving manual, mechanical and biological control will be employed.

Community participation will be encouraged in manual and biological control.

Following the ATAAS restructuring, extension/advisory services previously coordinated by NAADS were transferred to MAAIF.

Implementation of ATAAS is now through MAAIF and NARO.The project is to support key activities along the research - extension - farmer market value chain continuum through four components.

These are: I.

Developing Agricultural Technologies and Strengthening the National Agricultural Research System; II.
Enhancing Partnerships between Agricultural Research, Extension, and other Stakeholders; III.

Strengthening Agricultural Support Services; IV.

Programme Management and Monitoring and Evaluation.
Objectives: The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to increase agricultural productivity and incomes of participating households by improving the performance of agricultural research and advisory services in the Republic of Uganda, whilst the Global Environmental Objective (GEO) is to enhance the environmental sustainability and resilience of agricultural production to land degradation and climate risks.

The GEO is funded through the Global Environment Facility grant.
Link with the NDP: In the second NDP, Agriculture is amongst the priority development areas, being as it is central to Uganda‟s economic growth.

This prioritization of agriculture in NDP II is built upon the sector‟s strategic plan (Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan 2015/16-2019/20).
During the NDPII period, the agricultural sector has a target of increasing agricultural exports to USD 4 billion by 2010, The sector is expected to contribute to wealth creation and employment along the agricultural 85 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 03 Agricultural Extension Services development value chain.
This, as eluded in the NDPII, this requires more efforts to address issues of among others, extension services, low absorption of modern technology, pre and post-harvest crop losses.

The restructured ATAAS is designed to address these.
The ATAAS project will directly contribute to increased production and productivity, addressing challenges in selected thematic technical areas including critical farm inputs, mechanization and water for agricultural production, improving markets and value addition and institution strengthening (farmer groups and associations) Expected Outputs: i.

To strengthen research, this component will provide support to the NARS through two subcomponents: technology identification and development and institutional strengthening of the NARS.

This component is primarily implemented by NARO.

Subcomponent 1.1: technology identification and development.

Under this subcomponent support will be provided for development and generation of agricultural production and productivity technologies.
Specific activities targeted for funding include: (i) supporting core national strategic and zone-specific research and (ii) providing funding through Competitive Research Grants (CRGs) for research in non-strategic priority agricultural topics along the value chain issues.

Subcomponent 1.2: institutional strengthening of the NARS.

The funding to this sub component will focus on strengthening the effectiveness and efficiency of the NARS, especially NARO.
This will specifically be through: (i) provision of support to build the capacities and competencies of public and private ARSPs; (ii) acquisition of research equipment, facilities, and transport; (iii) enhancing the governance of NARO and other PARIs; and (iv) exploring options for sustainable financing mechanisms for the NARS.
Component 2: Enhancing Partnerships between Agricultural Research and Other Stakeholders The objective of this component is to support closer linkages between NARO, MAAIF and other stakeholders.

The activities under this component will be jointly implemented by NARO and MAAIF, backed-up by joint NARO-MAAIF and other key stakeholder committees.
The component is structured into three sub components of: (i) Joint planning, priority setting, implementing adaptive research and demonstrations; (ii) Enabling technology up scaling; and (iii) Sustainable Land Management (SLM).

Subcomponent 2.1: Joint Planning, Priority Setting and Adaptive Research and Demonstrations.
Under this component NARO and MAAIF will be facilitated to jointly undertake priority setting, planning and implementation of on-farm adaptive research and demonstrations, where appropriate.

The extension workers at the district level will be supported to set up adaptive trials and on-farm demonstrations.

The established “Multi-Stakeholder Innovation Platforms” (MSIPs) will be supported and strengthened to guide research priorities and the uptake of its outputs.
Sub-component 2.2: Enabling Technology Up scaling.

The resources under this sub component are provided for supporting the multiplication of improved varieties/breeds and scaling out of the technologies.

This sub component also provides support for strengthening stakeholders along the value chains.

Subcomponent 2.3: Sustainable Land Management (SLM).

This sub component is supported by the GEF funding for promotion of SLM practices through NARO- MAAIF collaboration.
Support will be provided for: (i) improving institutional governance for SLM planning and practice at NARO and MAAIF and for coordinating with other sectors/ministries and stakeholders interested in SLM; (ii) scaling-up SLM activities on the ground for improved natural resource management; and (iii) reducing vulnerability to land degradation through natural resource monitoring and improved knowledge management.
Component 3: Strengthening Agricultural Support Services The funding under this Component 3 supports MAAIF and partners in the development of modalities to improve farmer empowerment and organization, the effectiveness of public knowledge support services for the intensification of agricultural production and improved farmer market linkages in selected high priority commodities.
Activities under this component will mainly target: (i) strengthening of farmer organization and improved market linkages; (ii) support the design of a new extension system through technical assistance in defining extension strategy and its institutional and implementation arrangements; and (iii) development and operationalization of ICT tools to improve the effectiveness of 87 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 03 Agricultural Extension Services public agricultural programs.
Subcomponent 3.1.

Farmer empowerment and organization for strengthened linkages to markets.

Under this sub component the project will support the new Directorate of Agricultural Extension in strengthening farmer groups that have remained loose and institutionally weak.

They will be aggregated to form viable commercial entities/cooperatives along commodity value chains.
The project will capitalise on local experience in smallholder enterprise development, to establish good governance structures and strengthen linkages with the saving and credit (SACCOs) facilities.

Experience has demonstrated that farmer institutional development cannot be fully attained in a project lifetime.

To ensure sustainability, the project will build capacity of local expertise within the local government structures for continuity even when the project has run its course.
The group-based approach will serve as a focal point in the new extension strategy in responding to farmers‟ needs for new technologies, market and other information availed through the ATAAS ICT based systems plan.

Sub-Component 3.2: Support to design of a strategy for the new extension system and its institutional and implementation arrangements.
Following the policy shift by the GoU that has put more emphasis on increased role of public agricultural extension service delivery within the pluralistic environment, a new strategy is necessary.

The project under this subcomponent will support for the formulation of the new extension strategy, as well as the development of core institutional and operational arrangements necessary for the new system to function effectively.
The project will help to ensure that the new system reflects principles of the new agricultural sector strategic plan 2015- 2020 and draw lessons from regional experiences.

Subcomponent 3.3: Development of ICT-based support systems in support of MAAIF priority functions.
The funding under this sub component will be invested in developing functional areas of responsibility for MAAIF and NARO especially in areas that increase the flow of information to farmers on practical knowledge; and information from farmers and their advisors to public program officers.

The ICT applications will also be developed to facilitate collection of farm-level and market linkages data, access to improved inputs and platform for agricultural information and statistics.
Component 4: Program Management, Coordination and M&E The objective of this component is to support the MAAIF-PCU and NARO Secretariat to ensure: efficient execution of administrative, financial management, and procurement functions; coordination activities across the different implementing agencies effective management of the joint M&E; and implementation of safeguard measures.
This component is implemented in three sub-components of: NARS coordination and NARO management; MAAIF components management and coordination; and strengthening joint M&E and data systems for NARO and MAAIF.

It also contributes to enhancing the quality of, and the demand for farm products.

Agro-industries have the potential to provide employment for the rural population not only in farming, but also in off-farm activities such as handling, packaging, processing transporting and marketing of food and agricultural products.

There are clear indications that agro-industries are having a significant global impact on economic development and poverty reduction, in both urban and rural communities.
However, the full potential of agro-industries as an engine for economic development has not yet been realized in many developing countries especially in Africa Uganda inclusive.

The project is aligned to the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Program (CAADP) Pillar II of “Increasing market access through improved rural infrastructure and other trade related interventions”.
The National Development Plan (NDP) (2010/11 – 2014/15) chapter 5 articulates agriculture as one of the major sectors of the economy.

The Ministry is implementing the Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP): 2010/11 – 2014/15, which is completely aligned to the NDP.

Program 2 of the DSIP (Market Access and Value Addition) underscores the ministry‟s and plan aimed at improving the way markets function in order to sustain increased agricultural production and income to farmers.
The Uganda marketing and agro processing strategy (MAPS) further highlights the relevance of this project towards realizing the desired outcomes of reduced poverty, increased incomes for farmer/producers and a food secure nation.
90 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 03 Agricultural Extension Services This is largely through establishing value addition and agro processing facilities and collection centres as well as establishing trade and marketing linkages for the farmers/ producers in the rural communities.
However, all the above three interventions are also in line with Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), II of “Increasing market access through improved rural infrastructure and other trade related interventions through agro-processing initiatives”, as proposed by the project.

Under the Non ATAAS implementation framework it is envisaged that Training farmers on post harvest handling of Maize will be done by MAAIF.
Together with the National Agricultural Research System (NARS), appropriate post harvest technologies will be developed by MAAIF for eventual distribution to farmers or farmers‟ groups.

Promoting value addition will be the sole responsibility of MAAIF through such projects as Agro processing and marketing strategy.
Objectives: The overall objective of the project is to develop a rural community based agro processing and marketing strategy for agricultural products in domestic, regional, and international markets for increased incomes and food security.

Specific objectives i)Facilitate the rural community to access post harvest and agro processing technologies.

ii)Promote commodity marketing through bulking, agro processing and packaging following the out-grower farming model.
iii)To develop a rural community based agro processing and marketing strategy for agricultural products Link with the NDP: The project is in line with NDP II and ASSP specificlly contributing towards Priority 3 (Improving access to agricultural markets and value addition) The design and planned implementation of this project is a result efforts aimed at implementing the Africa, regional, and national programs, strategies and plans aimed at eradication of poverty, increase in house hold incomes and enhanced food security.

Sub programs 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 (promoting value addition activities), (Rural Market Infrastructure) and (promoting collective marketing) respectively; streamline government strategies for profitable enterprise selection, collection and dissemination of market information, promotion of public-private partnerships for agro processing, commissioning of relevant studies, initiating pilot projects on rural infrastructure improvements and promoting collective marketing.
The Uganda marketing and agro processing strategy (MAPS) further highlights the relevance of this project towards realizing the desired outcomes of reduced poverty, increased incomes for farmer/producers and a food secure nation.

The purpose of the MAPS is for enabling the small holder and medium scale farmers to benefit from efficient markets and local-level value addition and agro processing.
The MAPS supports expansion and farmer participation in local and regional markets through agro processing and marketing of agricultural commodities for export growth, as well as encouraging of the expansion of market opportunities in local and rural markets.

This is by far through establishing value addition and agro processing facilities‟ and collection centres as well as establishing trade and marketing linkages for the farmers/ producers in the rural communities.

The study identified various sub-sectors including; i) Agriculture (Crops Animals and Fisheries) ii) Steel products, iii) Hazardous waste management, iv) PPE AND v) operations management; which are important for the sustaining development of the Lake Albert Basin.

During the development phase of Uganda‟s oil and gas project which is expected to last five years, it is expected that a work force rising to approximately 13,000 at its peak will be required.
This work force will be accommodated and fed mainly in purpose built temporary camps in the Lake Albert area.

Based on these assumptions it is estimated that the camps could consume over 300 tonnes of food monthly (at its peak).
Unfortunately, due to existing weak capacity in terms of quality and quantity within the agricultural community, unless theses sub-sectors are revamped, the necessary goods and services including food to sustain and uphold the increasing demand will have to be imported from outside the Lake Albert basin.
Objectives: To strengthen existing agriculture production and commercial practices and enhance the supply chain of agricultural goods and services to the oil and gas development interventions and the developing market opportunities in the region and beyond.

Therefore, the project will cover the whole agriculture value chain including inputs, production, processing, collection and marketing of the products.
Specific objectives for the project include: • To undertake relevant research studies for supporting investment in production and marketing systems of livestock, fisheries and crops for improved livelihoods of the resident communities in the Lake Albert Basin.

• To develop farmer organizations and private sector initiatives in the Albertine Basin for sustainable production, processing and marketing of value added agricultural commodities.
• To develop appropriate farming, processing and marketing models for supplying food products of acceptable quality and quantity directly to the project camps and the developing markets beyond.

• To establish and equip market information centers in the Albertine Basin.
• To coordinate and Harmonise the sector interventions in the Albertine Basin Link with the NDP: The project is in line with NDP II specifically contributing towards Priority 3 (Improving access to agricultural markets and value addition) Expected Outputs: Output 1: A comprehensive knowledge and information database on production, processing and marketing systems of the Albertine Basin The project will carry out various studies including baseline surveys, situational analyses, and market information research on production, processing and marketing of the selected agricultural commodities in the Albertine region.
This will also involve collection and dissemination of market information to stakeholders especially the farmers and the JVP.

This will enable periodic review of ongoing and past initiatives in the Albertine region by the JVP and other development agencies to seek and draw lessons about best practices.

The new programmerecognises the agriculture sector, and specifically private sector actors within it, as being the primary drivers of sustainable growth.

It focuses directly on supporting agribusiness, on transforming the fragile but potentially very productive Northern Uganda region such that it can participate in the formal economy, and more generally, on improving the enabling environment for private sector development, business and trade.
The programme strikes a balance between support to private sector actors to improve the competitiveness of selected value chains on one hand, and support to increased resilience and income generation in poor and food insecure areas on the other hand.

Moreover, the programme supports interventions dealing with some of the constraints that hamper private sector development in general and the day-to-day business operations for small-scale and medium-sized farmers and agribusinesses, in particular.
The performance of the agriculture sector in Uganda has been hampered by a poor business environment and inadequate competitiveness; indeed the country‟s rankings in various indexes relating to the enabling environment have been slipping.

It follows that a much more holistic approach to agricultural development, to broaden attention to issues relating to the general business environment, should yield better results.
Despite the challenges, the prospects for agricultural development are better than they have been for some time.
This follows: (i) improving markets as a result of accelerating urbanization; (ii) increased demand for food and agricultural commodities in the wider region; (iii) the end of the price decline for agricultural commodities; (iv) increased budget allocations to roads and infrastructure and hence better market access for farmers; (v) the reintegration of Northern Uganda where there is potential for large agricultural surpluses; (vi) opportunities arising from new agricultural technologies, and; (vii) a renewed international interest in the catalytic power of the agriculture sector.
Objectives The objective of the whole programme is: “Poverty reduction through increased productivity, inclusive growth and employment”.

U-Growth II comprises of three components which are well integrated (by subject area, objectives and approach), synergistic, and designed to promote momentum and critical mass in the agricultural development process.
106 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services Improving the enabling environment for agriculture and the private sector (EEC) The objective of this component is “Increased private sector-led and export-driven economic growth”.
The EEC is expected to consist of two sub-components: (i) Support to TradeMark East Africa Uganda Programme (TMEA-U) (ii) Support to Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) Sub-component 1.2: Support to Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) This is meant to offer support to the annual work plan and budget process in MAAIF.

This sub component is to be implemented by MAAIF, with assistance from Danida.
Expected outcomes • Agricultural productivity enhanced and markets for primary and secondary commodities and products strengthened and supported; • Favourable legal, policy and institutional frameworks that facilitate private sector expansion and increased profitability along the entire agricultural value chain developed; and; • Public agricultural institutions functioning as modern, client-oriented organisations within an innovative and accountable support environment.
These expected outcomes are aligned with the four programme areas of the DSIP, which are production & productivity, market and value addition, enabling environment and institutional strengthening.

Component 2: Recovery and Development in Northern Uganda (NUC) The NUC is an agricultural livelihoods improvement programme with the objective of “Increased resilience and equitable participation of Northern Uganda in the economic development of the country”.
The component will be pursued through support to three strategic interventions: 1)Increased production and marketing of agricultural produce by small-scale farmers 2)Agriculture-related rural infrastructure rehabilitated and constructed 3)Improved capacity in District Local Governments (DLGs).

Objectives: The objective of the whole programme is: 1.
The overall objective of the project: To create an enabling environment and support MAAIF in its preparation for receiving Sector Budget Support and accordingly, together with other development partners, to support the implementation of Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan (ASSP) and its associated bankable programs.

Link with the NDP: The project is in line with NDPII and ASSP.
It contributes specifically towards Priority 4 (Institutional and enabling environment strengthening) Expected Outputs: Support to the Agricultural Business Initiative (aBi) Component: i.

The activities of aBi TRUST in all districts of project operation supervised and reports provided to the relevant stakeholders; including Agriculture Sector Working Group and MAAIF TPM.

Provide/construct reasonable office accommodation in 15 newly created districts for the Production and Marketing Departments; in the district where the office accommodation is nonexistent.
This is meant to create an enabling environment for the proper implementation of the single spine extension system and the commodity approach strategy by the production departments of the newly created districts.

iii.

Offer logistical support in form of vehicles and motor cycles to the 5 regional extension liaison officers; and some of the rural districts production departments without any mode of transport.
This will smoothen the implementation of the single spine extension services and supervision/monitoring of the provision and distribution of inputs by the district production officers.

iv.

Retool the 5 District Agricultural Training Institutes (DATICs) with appropriate training implements; i.e rehabilitation of laboratories, provision of lab equipment, provision of training mechanical tools and implements and rehabilitation of classroom blocks.
This is meant to enable practical training of agriculture professionals, technicians and artisans who will be very instrumental in the implementation and sustaining of the single spine extension system at the grassroots.

v. Provide technical support in to the implementation of the Agriculture Sector Strategic Program (2015/16 – 2019/20).

Performance Indicators: 1.

Number of aBi TRUST projects supervised.

2.

Number of district Production & Marketing Departments office blocks constructed 3.
Number of DATICs retooled with appropriate assorted agriculture training tool, implements and lab equipment.

4.

Technical description of the project: MAAIF is particularly concerned with two components of the overall project; the Support to the Agricultural Business Initiative (aBi); where it plays the supervisory role through the Agriculture Sector Working group.
The Improving the enabling environment for agriculture and the private sector (EEC); where it will focus on supporting the Policy and Planning Function of the Ministry.

Emphasis will be put on supporting the implementation of the new Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan (ASSP) - 2015/16 to 2019/20.
In this component technical and logistical support will be provided in ensuring proper budgeting and budget execution at the centre agencies (MAAIF, NARO, NAADS, CDO, UCDA, NAGRC&DB, DDA); and in the regional sector liaison offices; which focus on implementation of key sector priorities of single spine agricultural extension, provision of seed, breeding, planting, and stocking material, provision of water for production, agricultural mechanisation, disease control, and value addition.
The total cost of the U-Growth II project is UGX 128.970 bn; however, most of the activities will be financed by funding from Danida (DKK 260 million, an equivalent of UGX: 113.270 billion); which MAAIF and the Agriculture Sector Working Group will play a policy and technical supervisory role.

GoU will provide a counterpart of UGX: 15.7 billion.

An effective intervention to positively impact households should therefore be one that targets enhancing the utilization of the abundant water resources for agricultural production in a sustainable way.
Cognizant of the above situation, the GoU has through its strategic frameworks like the Uganda Vision 2040, NDP (National Development Plan 2010/11 – 2014/15) and the Agriculture sector DSIP (Agricultural Sector Development Strategy and Investment Plan 2010/11-2014/15) prioritized irrigation as a key player for agriculture development.

The GoU in collaboration with various Development Partners has undertaken initiatives for the development of irrigation infrastructure in different parts of the country.
JICA‟s support to the irrigation sub sector in Uganda goes back to 2004 when Sustainable Irrigated Agriculture Development (SIAD) study commenced.

The study and its subsequent project combined ran for about 6 years during which time small scale irrigation was promoted in some parts of the eastern region and even replicated outside the project areas.
Recognizing this success and, at the same time,a need for scaling it up to benefit more farmers, the GoU, through MAAIF, requested the GoJ for technical cooperation in the form of “a Study on establishment of Medium and Large scale irrigation schemes”.

Main target beneficiaries are farmers cultivating rice in lowlands with unreliable availability of water.

This is expected to contribute to development of the rice sub sector, one of the medium term targets of JICA‟s assistance to Uganda.
Other target beneficiaries include, among others, officers and engineers at both central and district local governments whose capacity for irrigation development and sustainable natural resources management will be built.
Objectives: The main objectives of the project are; 1Improvement of national food security and farmer household income through increased sustainable irrigated rice production; 2Capacity building for irrigation /natural resource management among different stakeholder categories Link with the NDP: The project is in line with NDP II and ASSP specifically contributing towards Priority 3 (Increasing access to critical farm inputs) 114 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services Expected Outputs: Detailed feasibility studies and designs for the 3 Selected Sites conducted; entailing 1Conducting field surveys to collect supplementary data and information on the priority project sites (Sironko (Acomai)and Atari Schemes).

Technical description of the project: The project is being implemented in a phased approach with; 1Phase 1 entailing initial site scoping of all the 10 candidate sites to screen out the most viable sites for development both economically and technically.

(Pre-feasibility studies conducted) 2Phase 2 entails conducting detailed feasibility studies to produce initial irrigation scheme designs for development phase.

The overall goal of the agricultural sector in Uganda is to promote food and nutrition security and household income through coordinated interventions that focus on enhancement, sustainable agricultural productivity and value addition, providing employment opportunities and promoting domestic and international trade.
Agricultural Training Institutions were established by Government for purposes of training technicians, which involves teaching and carrying out practical, demonstration, applied research and variety trials.
During the post constitutional restructuring, all specialized sector training Institutions were transferred to the Ministry of 121 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services Education and Sports for management, until July 2010 when Agricultural Training Institutions of Bukalasa Agricultural College and Fisheries Training Institute were reverted to MAAIF.
However, from 2010, to date, Bukalasa Agricultural College (BAC) and Fisheries Training Institute (FTI) have continued to experience numerous challenges, which have negatively affected their performances.

These challenges are highlighted here below:- a)Poor infrastructural status due to limited or inadequate resources maintenance and old age.
Currently most of the equipment in these training institutions like buildings, laboratories, workshops, staff residences, hostels, classrooms to mention but a few are in a dilapidated state.

Most of the infrastructure has been degraded and some of the buildings and laboratories lack equipment and chemicals; mechanical and engineering workshops have no basic tools and equipment.
b)Obsolete training equipment and facilities resulting to Graduates not being fully exposed to practical, technical and managerial skills as evidenced by complaints from farmers, NGOs and CBOs who have been forced to hire managers from other countries.
c)The curriculum currently in use need review so as to be able to fully address the needs of the Agriculture Sector for example; vital disciplines like agricultural mechanization, value addition, irrigation, human nutrition and home economics are inadequately catered for in the current mode of training.

d)Bukalasa Agricultural College was established in 1920 to cater for 60 students.

Currently the college is running 10 programmes with over 1250 students.
Fisheries Training Institute was established in 1968 and it was meant to accommodate 45 students only to date the institute is running 5 programmes with a total student‟s population of over 300 numbers.

This has led to infrastructural and facilities challenges.

e)Lack of requisite transport facilities and agricultural farm machinery which is crucial in the implementation of Competence Based Education and Training (CBET).
It is also worth noting that by the time the institutions reverted to MAAIF, the Government had already concluded the process of developing the Agriculture sector DSIP.

Unfortunately, the budget ceiling for the Ministry for the last three years had remained the same hence affecting budgetary support to ATIs.
The limited budgetary allocation to the ATIs, coupled with poor infrastructure status, obsolete training equipment and facilities and lack of sound transport have constrained the ATIs to make a significant contribution to the implementation of agricultural Sector Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP) and the economy at large.
To achieve the government vision, of increased income and food security including attaining employable skills, there is need for strategic interventions on the part of Government to support the development component in the agriculture training institutions that cannot be handled under the current funding.

Accordingly, MAAIF has developed these proposals to enable Government to comprehensively revamp the training institutions to support attainment of the government vision.
Objectives: The overall objective of the project is to raise rural household incomes and improve the food and nutrition security of all Ugandans through raising critical mass of agricultural professionals.

The specific objectives of the project is to • Strengthen the infrastructural capacity of Bukalasa Agricultural College and the Fisheries Training Institute to deliver quality education.
• A well functional infrastructure put in place to create an enabling environment for both staff and students to teach and learn effectively.

Establishing a state-of-the-art Data Center will enable the Statistics, Policy Analysis, Planning, and Monitoring and Evaluation Units of the Agricultural Planning Department to become a central resource for quality and timely agricultural information.

Although there are many producers of agricultural data in the country, they are not coordinated and the agricultural statistics system is still fragile, vulnerable and not fully developed.
There is neither a database nor a one-stop centre for agricultural statistics in the country.

At present, data are mainly captured at various levels, scattered in among the allied institutions and often not harmonized.

This is further worsened by the poor quality of the available data.

In addition, Districts are also not obliged to collect data and submit to MAAIF.

This is reflected in the lack of data from several other players in the agricultural sector.
There is therefore, a need for strengthening Agricultural Statistical System and establish a one-stop centre for agricultural Statistics in Uganda.

This FASS 5 year Development Plan with the first two years focused on establishing the Agricultural Network which requires the purchase of computers, hiring, placement, and training of all district and sub-county staff.

It also focuses on the development of data collection tools, analysis procedures, and information products for distribution.
This two year phase will be followed by three years of expanding the scope of the tested agricultural data collection templates, introduction of more advanced ICT tools (such as expanded use of smart phones), further development of web-based information platforms; implementing periodic agricultural surveys, and expanding linkages with private sector agribusinesses.
The proposed National Food and Agricultural Statistics System has three integrated parts that includes a Data Center that is the central component for receiving data from the broader Institutional Network and the Agricultural Network; and serves as the focal point for distribution of relevant information back through these networks to targeted beneficiaries, especially small-holder farmers.
Agricultural statistics are required to underpin major government policy initiatives, including poverty eradication, sector transformation and modernization of agriculture.

This can be done by establishing an efficient National Food and Agriculture Statistics System (NFAS) (FIP 2010).
Objectives: • Project Goal: The goal of the NFASS is to ensure that data related to the agricultural sector is accurate, timely, consistent, disaggregated and accessible so as to facilitate planning, and decision making in MAAIF and Local Governments.

• Project purpose: Agricultural statistics are required to underpin major government policy initiatives, including poverty eradication, sector transformation and modernization of agriculture.
This can be done by establishing an efficient 130 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services National Food and Agriculture Statistics System (NFAS) (FIP 2010).

• Specific objectives: 1.

Utilize the data collected optimally so as to reduce the cost of data collection.

2.

Harmonize data collection protocols across MDAs and institutional partners.

3.
3.

Establish a permanent field data collection system.

4.

Increase the dissemination and utilization of the statistics generated among the farmers, traders and processors.

5.

To support the monitoring and evaluation of government initiatives, policies and programs most especially in the agricultural sector.

6.
6.

To enable the flow of reliable information of what works and what does not, as a basis for public action most especially the farmers and other actors along the value chain, as this justifies the importance of agricultural statistics in the sector and beyond.

7.
To collate food market related information and analysis (e.g agricultural performance, food supply and demand conditions, food price patterns, spatial and temporal differences, formal and informal trade flows at local, regional and national level etc) in different areas of the country Link with the NDP: The Project is in line with NDP II contributing towards Priority 4 (Institutional and enabling environment strengthening) Expected Outputs: Component 1: Data center Development: This section provides details on the development of a state-of-the-art Data Center capable of receiving, analyzing, and distributing agriculture information on a timely basis.
Component 2: Institutional Network Development: This section provides details for the development of an Institutional Network of entities associated with agriculture development and their relationship with the Data Center at MAAIF.

Component 3: Agricultural Network Development: This section provides details for developing an agricultural data collection and distribution network at the national level.
Component 4: Establish a Food and Agricultural Statistics Databank Component 5: Build agricultural statistical capacity Performance Indicators: • Number of functional Agricultural Statistics technical and coordination committees established • Number/names of statistical methodologies for estimating agricultural production established • A functional National Food and Agricultural Statistics System • A functional Food and Agricultural Statistics Databank • Number of Ministry and District staff trained in Agriculture Statistical Methods Technical description of the project: The NFASS framework in which statistical activities are clearly identified, prioritized, coordinated and inter-linked taking into account the needs of data users and the conditions prevailing in the country.
Further, the dissemination of the information generated from the data collected at the lower levels of local government will be made more regular and the channels used should be those that will increase the accessibility to all the information including market information.
The project is in line with Agricultural Sector Issues Paper contributing towards priority 3 of institutional strengthening and enabling environment specifically the strategy of coming up with an efficient Food Agricultural Statistics (FAS) 131 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services system to provide statistics that underpin major government policy initiatives and poverty eradication.
Consequently, the Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan for Statistics (ASSPS) that is a component of the broader national plan has subsequently been developed.

Its implementation is envisaged to result into production of accurate and reliable agriculture statistics to facilitate planning, policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation.
Achievements for FY 2015/16: N/A Plan of operation: The above project objectives and outputs will be achieved using the following strategies: 1)Establishing a state-of-the-art Data Center that will enable the Statistics, Policy Analysis, Planning, and Monitoring and Evaluation Units of the Agricultural Planning Department to become a central resource for quality and timely agricultural information 2)Increasing the flow of quality data and information amongst the various institutions (MDAs) involved in some form with agricultural development in Uganda.
3)Establishing a cost effective, quality controlled, and routine (on-going) data collection network that can deliver quality data from all of the national districts and sub-counties on a monthly basis, to the Data Center.

Further, the same network will ensure the flow of important information back to the districts for planning, monitoring, and evaluation purposes.

COMESA established the Alliance for Commodity Trade in Eastern and Southern Africa (ACTESA) as a Specialized Agency to integrate small farmers into national, regional and international markets.
The main goal of ACTESA is to increase farmer productivity and incomes in the Eastern and Southern Africa region through trade in strategic agricultural commodities in response to the CAADP.
Due to the global food price crises of 2008, coupled with the urgency to increase productivity of farmers for food and income security, and to meet CAADP commitments in the region, COMESA Council of Ministers in March 2008, and in accordance with Article 132 of the COMESA treaty, declared that COMESA should urgently rationalize and harmonize SPS seed regulations and policies in its 19 member-states within two years, to improve availability and flows of seed and other agricultural inputs across borders, especially to small farmers.
This declaration was made to try and address the issue of food insecurity due to low productivity and reduce reliance on food imports from outside COMESA Member- states.
From October, 2010, ACTESA has been implementing the Seed and Plant material Commodity Value Chain Development through the 20 million Euro EU funded COMESA Regional Agro-inputs Program, (COMRAP) where Seed trade policies and Regulations were harmonized in all the COMESA member-states and also 8 member countries including Uganda received funds and equipments for Foundation Seed Multiplication and Certification.
ACTESA has now developed the COMESA Seed Harmonization Implementation Plan (COM-SHIP) to guide and support member states in domesticating the regulations.

COM-SHIP will provide the initial steps of an on-going and constantly evolving and improving process to domesticate the SPS seed policies and regulations to enable seed trade between member-states and to facilitate seed industry and local company support, including market activities with small farmers.
It will enhance intra- and inter-regional trade, and result in a more competitive agricultural sector.

It will improve access by COMESA‟s farmers to both local and global seed choices, including those that may become necessary in response to climate change.
The COMSHIP will also support the development effective SPS notification Systems and the supporting legal frameworks at national levels so as to meet the requirements for regional and international trade.SPS notification is a mechanism established by the World Trade Organization (WTO) under the SPS Agreement and under the transparency close where a country informs other member states of the impending modification in policies, laws and regulations, requirements and procedures that have effect on food safety, animal and plant health as well as life protection to ensure that such changes do not become disguised trade restrictions.
This would give a chance to trading partners to raise concerns in case the notified measures are likely to violate the provisions of the SPS Agreement or make preparations to comply with the pending new measure(s).
Strengthening the SPS notification systems will make the COMESA member states and Uganda in particular, more predictable with regard to food safety, plant and animal health standards as well as international trade and will also enable the countries to closely monitor opportunities in the agricultural export markets.

Objectives: • Project goal: To contribute to improved agricultural productivity leading to improved food security and livelihoods of farmers.
• Project Purpose: To support development of national legal frameworks and institutional capacity for facilitating cross border trade in improved seed with other agricultural inputs in order to increase farmer productivity and incomes.

• Specific Objectives: 135 Public Investment Plan Vote: 010 Ministry of Agriculture, Animal & Fisheries Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services 1.

This will result in improved crop yields for an estimated 80 million small-holder farmers in the 19 countries, providing food for farm household needs, and excess for sale into local and regional markets, increasing farm incomes and building member-state economies.

Member-state seed industries will also benefit, especially those seed producers that are interested in marketing their quality seed beyond borders.
More profitable local seed companies will provide additional benefit to their supply chain and out-growers of which many are small-holder farmers.

The project will encourage companies to engage and support small-holder seed producers, and support them with expertise and irrigation.
In addition it is anticipated that the harmonized seed law will encourage the rise of COMESA member-state seed companies, seed distributors, and seed dealers, agricultural input dealers as well as commodity traders, and provide additional jobs for the region on several level.

It will also improve access by COMESA‟s farmers to both local and global seed and inputs choices, including those that may become necessary in response to climate change.
The project will build capacity of national notification systems in public and private sector SPS enquiry points in the relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies involved in not only plant health but also food safety, and animal health.

This will enable countries and Uganda in particular to have influence on agricultural trade regulations and requirements of other international trading partners, and for monitoring opportunities in the agricultural export markets.
The project will be implemented by ACTESA and Ministries responsible for Agriculture (MAAIF in Uganda) at the regional and member state levels.

ACTESA will be responsible for overall regional coordination, provision of technical backstopping and financing.

MAAIF will be responsible for national coordination and supervision of the project activities undertaken by Seed Certification Institutions, Seed Associations and other SPS regulatory and support MDAs.

It is mandated to provide proper coordination and efficient implementation of all GOU policies designed to achieve and maintain self- sufficiency in the production of milk by promoting production and competition in the dairy industry and monitoring the market for milk and dairy products.

Uganda’s economy largely depends on Agriculture; which had a total contribution to Gross Domestic Product at current prices of 23.7 percent in 2011/12 and employs the vast majority (77%) of the country’s productive force.
The livestock subsector where dairy attributes 50 percent to its GDP, contributed 2 percent in 2011/12 to the agriculture sector GDP.

The National cattle population in 2009 was estimated at 11.8 million a notable improvement from 6.14 million in 2001.

The improved dairy breeds which include exotic and crosses are estimated to account for 5.6% of the national herd.
The dairy industry is a source of employment to the many players along the value chain who are involved in various activities such as milk production, collection, transportation, processing, distribution and marketing as well as provision of inputs and support services.

In the last fifteen years, the dairy industry has registered a steady growth following the implementation of favorable economic policies for example liberalization of trade in the economy.
Milk production has increased from 638 million liters in 1999 to 1.8 billion liters in 2012.

Objectives: In achieving its mandate, the Dairy Development Authority is actively engaging in interventions that promote rural milk collection by developing the infrastructure and improving the quality of milk in Uganda.
By way of intervention, DDA proposes to: continue the rehabilitation of the Entebbe Dairy Training School which will double as a National demonstration site on quality and value addition and rehabilitate milk collection centres across the country.

Rehabilitate the dilapidated milk collection centers with the aim of improving raw-milk bulking and preservation from 141 Public Investment Plan Vote: 121 Dairy Development Authority Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 55 Dairy Development farmers.
Continue the accreditation of the National Dairy Analytical laboratory in order to acquire National and International acceptance of the test results and therefore facilitate product entry into domestic and foreign markets, besides ensuring safety of the tested product.
Link with the NDP: The National Development Plan NDP in Chapter 5 identifies the key constraints to performance of the agricultural sector as inadequate physical infrastructure, weak food safety and quality assurance infrastructure, limited extension support, weak human resource capacity and weak value chain linkages among others.
As a way of addressing the above constraints, the NDP under Chapter 5.1.3 prescribes improvement in implementation of standards, promoting value addition and agro processing, improve farmers’ access to markets and facilitating financing and construction of appropriate storage structures.
As a way of actualizing the above, the project proposes to rehabilitate and equip milk collection centres to facilitate collective milk marketing, reviving the Entebbe Dairy Training School to facilitate training in value addition, continuing with accreditation of the Dairy Development Authority Analytical Laboratory and opening up regional offices both aimed at improved implementation of standards and ultimately improved market access.
Expected Outputs: Training conducted Consultant hired for the accreditation process Mini School Laboratory equipped Rehabilitation of the Dairy School infrastructure completed School Vehicle procured Computer Laboratory set up Processing lines procured and installed (Yoghurt, Ice-cream and Cheese Lines) Classrooms, Hostel and Parlor equipped Staff (3) recruited School Hostel equipped School Recreation Centre established School fenced Electrical works in the buildings completed Performance Indicators: A rehabilitated and equipped Entebbe Dairy Training School Number of milk collection centres Rehabilitated and equipped Number of milk coolers procured and installed Number of regional offices established Certificate of accreditation in the selected parameters Participation in proficiency testing Technical description of the project: The rehabilitated milk collection centers will act as demonstration sites of dairy farming among the communities in the 142 Public Investment Plan Vote: 121 Dairy Development Authority Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 01 55 Dairy Development area.
This will as a result, stimulate production and reduce post-harvest losses.

In addition to enhancing dairy value addition, when the dairy school is reinstated, dairy technologists will acquire skills and knowledge.

DDA analytical laboratory aims to maintain measurement traceability and uncertainty testing for unaccredited laboratories, acting as a tool for product traceability.
The activity will enhance confidence in the laboratory activities leading to acknowledgement by local, regional and international communities and achieve regional reference status.

However, current production levels in the livestock sub-sector cannot meet the current domestic and regional demand.

This failure is owed to low genetic potentials and dynamic production environments.

Uganda’s national farm animal genetic resources comprise 13, 14.6, 3.9, 3.6 and 38 .1 million cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and chickens, respectively.

These livestock populations are increasing across all types and contribute 13.1% of the agricultural GDP and 5% of the national GDP.
Livestock have traditionally been the dominant form of economic (e.g., milk, meat, and cattle sale) and social (e.g., marriage, death, dispute settlement, and gift giving) exchange in Uganda.

They currently serve as the main source of livelihood for a large majority of rural Ugandans who own over 90% of the livestock, especially in the cattle corridor.
The emphasis on smallholder livestock production in the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries – Development Strategy and Implementation Plan, 2010/11-2014/15 (MAAIF DSIP) calls for increased efforts towards the development of locally tested technology that will increase productivity given farmers' present resources.
The National Animal Genetic Resource Centre and Data Bank (NAGRC&DB), through the its comprehensive national animal breeding programme, has acquired, generated and adopted appropriate technologies for small, medium and large scale livestock operations.
NAGRC & DB has eleven (11) livestock centre farms and ranches (Ruhengere, Nshaara, Aswa, Livestock Experimental Station (LES), Sanga, Maruzi, Rubona, Kasolwe, Lusenke, Njeru, and Bulago) situated in different agro-ecological zones where different faming systems with various production systems are practiced.

These farms serve the purpose of breeding and enabling access to superior breeding stock.
However, wars, civil strife negatively impacted on these farms with loss of most of the stock and destruction of farms structures.

Therefore, NAGRC&DB has the onus of rehabilitating and restocking these farms with superior breeds.

The same farms also serve as breeding reference points/ demonstration farms for animal production and farm management practices for sustainable and proﬁtable livestock enterprise.

 process of Lint Marketing Board (LMB) when the Cotton Subsector was liberalized in 1994, CDO was given Seed Dressing Stations which were located on ginners’ land (formerly under Co-operative Unions).
This anormally was highlighted for several years by the Auditor General in his Audit Report and Opinion on CDO’s Financial Statements; because the Organisation’s assets were at high risk.

In addition, Parliament’s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprise (COSASE) also raised concern about this situation and recommended that CDO acquires its own premises and relocates the seed processing facilities.
Objectives: - To establish CDO's own seed processing plant - To relocate the existing seed processing machinery to CDO's own site and to up-grade some of the machinery.

Link with the NDP: The Project is linked to Section 258 Objective 1- Enhance agricultural production and productivity, Strategy 7: Improve access to high quality inputs, planting and stocking materials.

Expected Outputs: - Complete construction of buildings and structures and installation of auxiliary services.
- Installation of specialized machinery for processing cotton planting seed.

It is estimated that about 50% of the total population will be living in urban areas by the year 2050.

Urban areas are already showing strain resulting from high population growth that is not commensurate with the infrastructure, service provision and employment creation.

Nearly all urban centres are characterised by serious urban sprawl, poverty, informality and environmental deterioration among other negative attributes.
National development efforts particularly in infrastructure and services are hampered by lack of clear, consistent spatial framework at both national and regional levels.

The development of the National Physical Development Plan is one of the priority action agreed upon by the cabinet during it annual retreat for Ministers, Ministers of State and permanent Secretaries on Government Annual Performance in FY 2009/10 held n 9th and 10th December 2010.
It was emphasised that NPDP will re- examine the existing situation with a view to proposing a structure that will turn the development challenges into opportunities for sustainable balanced development.

Once the NPDP is prepared will provide an overall strategic framework to guide development and capital infrastructure investment decisions in the whole country over a medium and long term.
The frame work is intended to coordinate public sector investment decisions by proposing strategic location of major government investments and commitments.

It will also inform private sector spatial investment decisions.

Furthermore it will facilitate a balanced mix of land uses as well as the use of natural resources in an environmentally responsible manner.
Objectives: a)To prepare a National Physical Development Plan to support orderly and sustainable urbanisation, services and infrastructural development.

b)To prepare a Physical Development Plan for the Albertine Graben Special Planning Area.
c)To set up a web based functional land use information centre 200 Public Investment Plan Vote: 012 Ministry of Lands, Housing & Urban Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 02 02 Physical Planning and Urban Development Link with the NDP: The formulation of a National Physical Development Plan (NPDP) for Uganda’s socio-economic transformation is grounded in the National Development Plan .
Paragraph 430 of the NDP lay emphasis on the preparation of the national spatial back borne to support orderly and sustainable urbanisation, industrialisation, services and infrastructural development.

It is envisaged that this plan will guide the prudent use of National space, resources and sectoral coordination, thus providing spatial framework for the implementation of the National Land Use Policy and Physical Planning Act 2010.

Urban Areas account for about 72% of manufacturing output and over 55% of the Uganda national GDP.

While the current level of urbanization in Uganda is still low at about 12 %, it is experiencing a high population growth at a rate of 5.1% per annum.

It is projected that by 2035 Uganda’s population will be 68million and 30% will be in urban areas.
With this increasing rate of urbanization, municipalities are facing a number of challenges including the rapid growth of informal settlements, inadequate capacity both at municipal and central government level to provide and maintain basic municipal urban services, and an inability to operate effective urban planning and management practices.

Moreover,MLHUD and Local Governments (LGs) lack the capacity to enforce compliance to plans, standards and regulations.
To support the Government of Uganda (GoU) respond to the urbanization challenges, the World Bank agreed to support the GoU with a US$150 million development credit to implement the UgandaSupport to Municipal Infrastructure Development (USMID) Programme.

The programme will run for 5-years (FY 2013/14-2017/18) and will encompass municipal infrastructure development and institutional capacity building.
Fourteen (14) municipal LGs of Arua, Gulu, Lira, Soroti, Moroto, Mbale, Tororo, Jinja, Entebbe, Masaka, Mbarara, Kabale, Fort Portal and Hoima will benefit from the programme.

Currently, the country has one city, 22 municipalities/ secondary cities, 98 Town councils, and 207 Town Boards.

According to the Ministry and the national estimated statistics, about 15% of Uganda’s population is estimated to live in urban areas.

Although this is still a moderate level of urbanization, Uganda is experiencing a high rate of urban growth exceeding 5% per annum and estimated to rise to 30% of the Ugandan population by 2035.
The trend is mainly attributed to high rural- urban migration rate, rapid population growth in urban areas, and emergence of new urban centers through unprecedented creation of new local governments, uncontrolled growth and expansion of existing urban areas over time.

In Northern Uganda, urbanization follows traditional trends in addition to the forced settlements in the Internally Displaced Peoples Camps (IDPCs) which are fast evolving into satellite towns.
This project is therefore designed in order to give support in preparing 14 secondary cities/ municipalities of Arua, Gulu, Lira, Soroti, Moroto, Mbale, Tororo, Jinja, Entebbe, Masaka, Mbarara, Kabale, Fort Portal and Hoima for the future urban development Objectives: • To study and analyze the municipal/ secondary cities situation in terms of Urban Development and be able to forecast as well as plan the future of urban development.
• To ensure increased stakeholders’ engagement in municipal governance, planning and management.

• To propose a Municipal Development Strategy that will ensure sustainable development of the secondary cities/ municipalities.

• To provide a strategic municipal planning framework that will attract and promote public and private investment.
• To create a linkage between municipal development plans and incoming potential municipal funding/ resources (such as USMID) Link with the NDP: The MDS contributes directly to the attainment of the objectives, strategies and interventions of the NDP Urban Development, which is considered as one of the complimentary Sectors.
The project is intended to promote a visionary, long-term, participatory and pro-active planning with the aim of preparing 14 secondary cities/ municipalities to be able to sustainably accommodate future urban development.

This will be accomplished through broad-based stakeholders’ participation and consensus building on negotiated priorities which is linked to one of the NDP intervention of strengthening capacity of Urban Development Institutions.

When the British came, they signed the 1900 Buganda agreement and later Ankole and Toro agreements which gave them powers to allocate land to the kings, chiefs and their collaborators in absolute freehold even where indegenous people were settled , thereby leaving them tennants at will on land which formely belonged them.

The areas most affected were Bunyoro,Ankole, Buganda, Bughisu and Tooro.

Consquently this left the bonifide occupants landless.
During the 1995 Constitution, the Land Act was enacted and it provided for the Land Fund to compensate absentee landlords.

Objectives: Resolve all historical land holding injustices in the country.

Link with the NDP: Compensation of absentee Land Lords and Registration of bonafide occupants secures land tenure of the bonafide and lawful occupants and this encourages them to make good developments/ investments on the Land.
With more investments, we shall have higher economic development Expected Outputs: Hectares of land compensated to secure bonafide occupants Land Fund Regulation disseminated, Uganda Land Commission Bill developed, Bonafide occupants registered Performance Indicators: 222 Public Investment Plan Vote: 156 Uganda Land Commission Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 02 51 Government Land Administration Hectares of land compensated to secure bonafide occupants Land Fund Regulation disseminated, Uganda Land Commission Bill developed, Bonafide occupants registered Technical description of the project: support to uganda land commission is one of the core strategies the Government of uganda has adopted to settle once and for all historical land holding injustices in the country.
The land act defines lawful and bonafide occupantsand it stipulates that were occupants were settled by Government, compensation be made to the landlords.

Forcus:- acquisition of regestered land with bonifide occupants in bunyoro,buganda,ankole tooro,and rolling over to other regions of the country .
Project implementation:- Payment of compensation to land owners,title verification, land identification, valuation of land, registration of bonifide occupants, transfer of titles to government , publishing and dissemination of land fund regulation, regestering and regulation of the land ownership of the bonafide occupants Achievements for FY 2015/16: 3,354ha of land compensated, Consultative/ sensitisation meetings on regularisation of land ownership carried out in Kibaale, Draft Uganda Land Commission Bill developed and submitted to MLHUD for further submission to Cabinet, Processed 12 government land titles Plan of operation: Identification,demacationand registration of land Planned activities for FY 2016/17: Carry out surveys, inspection and valuation of land to be compensated Register bona fide occupants so that they secure registrable interests Develop an updated Government Land Inventory Lease out Government land for purposes of investment Planned Outputs for FY 2016/17: 4200ha of land compensated, develop Land Fund Regulation guidelines, Register Bonafide occupants to secure registrable interest Financing: FY 2015/16 UGX 14.789bn Project Funding Allocations: Projected Funding Allocations (UShs billion) Domestic Development Funding for Project Donor Funding for Project Total Funding for Project 2014/15 Budget 12.754 0.000 12.754 2015/16 Budget 14.676 0.000 14.676 MTEF Projections 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 14.789 0.000 14.789 14.789 0.000 14.789 17.007 0.000 17.007 223 Vote: 156 Uganda Land Commission Vote

Urban Areas account for about 72% of manufacturing output and over 55% of the Uganda national GDP.

While the current level of urbanization in Uganda is still low at about 12 %, it is experiencing a high population growth at a rate of 5.1% per annum.

It is projected that by 2035 Uganda’s population will be 68million and 30% will be in urban areas.
With this increasing rate of urbanization, municipalities are facing a number of challenges including the rapid growth of informal settlements, inadequate capacity both at municipal and central government level to provide and maintain basic municipal urban services, and an inability to operate effective urban planning and management practices.

Moreover,MLHUD and Local Governments (LGs) lack the capacity to enforce compliance to plans, standards and regulations.
To support the Government of Uganda (GoU) respond to the urbanization challenges, the World Bank agreed to support the GoU with a US$150 million development credit to implement the UgandaSupport to Municipal Infrastructure Development (USMID) Programme.

The programme will run for 5-years (FY 2013/14-2017/18) and will encompass municipal infrastructure development and institutional capacity building.
Fourteen (14) municipal LGs of Arua, Gulu, Lira, Soroti, Moroto, Mbale, Tororo, Jinja, Entebbe, Masaka, Mbarara, Kabale, Fort Portal and Hoima will benefit from the programme.
Objectives: To enhance the institutional performance of Program LGs to improve urban service delivery Link with the NDP: The USMID Program is closely linked to all the objectives of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2010/11-2014/15 as highlighted below: 1)Increasing household incomes and promoting equity:The civil works sub projects in the 14 participating municipal LGs are expected to generate employment opportunities that will result in increased household incomes and promote 225 Public Investment Plan Vote: 500 501-850 Local Governments Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 02 81 USMID equity.
2)Enhancing the availability of quality and gainful employment: The program will enable some of the municipal staff like the engineers, physical planners, environmental officers, finance officers, procurement officers build their capacity through training and equipping them to produce quality work in their different disciplines and increasing their scope of work in terms of the volumes of services produced.
3)Increasing stock and quality of economic infrastructure: The program will support the 14 participating municipal LGs to implement their prioritized sub projects which will increasetheir infrastructure stock and quality.

The planned infrastructure includes rehabilitation of bus parks and construction or rehabilitation of municipal roads which will cover street lighting, drainage, walkways, bike lanes and parking zones.
4)Increasing access to quality social services: Increasing access to social services in the 14 participating municipal LGs will be through the construction or rehabilitation of roads that will provide access to the markets, health centers and banks.

These plants are scheduled for construction and commissioning in the next 3 to 5 years.

The projects include Siti I (5MW), Siti II (16.5MW), Muyembe (10MW), Ngenge I&II (20MW).

Furthermore Eastern region of Uganda has in the recent past experienced poor power supply quality and reliability.

This is mainly due to the fact that it is supplied by very long 33kV lines that result in high technical losses and a poor voltage profiles.
The districts of Mbale, Budaka, Pallisa, Manafwa, Sironko, Bulambuli, and Kapchorwa and their environs are currently being fed by two long 33kV distribution lines originating from Tororo main substation a distance of over 120km.

This has led to poor power supply in the area characterized by poor voltage profile resulting into high technical losses.

In addition to the existing demand, the region is experiencing a high demand growth resulting from increased commercial and upcoming industries e.g.
Budaka/DAO cement industry among others.

In order to address the above power requirements, UETCL therefore intends to construct a 132kV transmission line from the proposed new 33/132kV Mbale Industrial parks substation to the proposed new 132/33kV Atari substation at Bulambuli to evacuate the power from the above mini hydro plants in addition to serve the growing demand in the region.

 The proposed scheme consists of a Concrete Gravity Dam of maximum height of 20.0 m and length of 311.53 m at the Top elevation of EL 1032.00 m.

3.

The power station will be located underground.

The water is to be conveyed through six concrete lined pressure shafts of 7.70 m diameter and length varying from 328.59 m to 379.18m.
These pressure shafts would feed 6 vertical Francis turbines of 100 MW capacity installed within an underground powerhouse located on the left bank of Kyoga Nile.

4.

The Tail water from the Power house will be carried through 6 individual tunnels of 7.70 m diameter and 276.81m length up to the surge chamber.

From the surge chamber the tail water will be conveyed through two horse shoe shaped tunnels of 12.50m diameter and 8.3 km length up to the open tailrace channel portal.

5.
5.

After the tailrace tunnels, an open channel having a base width of 100.0m is proposed to discharge the tail water back to the river.

The Length of the open channel is about 140m and it would serve as outfall structure for the tailrace system of the project.

To maintain minimum tail water level in the channel a weir has been proposed at the end of the channel having a crest at El.959.50m.

6.
6.

The Power generated would be taken through a 400 kV Switchyard to the nearest proposed pooling station of Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Ltd., (UETCL) and for onward transmission to Kawanda sub-station at 400 kV, to Lira substation at 132 kV and Olwiyo substation at 132 kV.

The discoveries are currently estimated at 6.5 billion barrels of oil in place and about 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
Following the exploration success in Uganda, at its Extra-Ordinary Meeting in Kampala in June 2007, the East African Community (EAC) Summit of the Heads of State, in recognition of the importance of boosting the capacity of refinery services in the region and in view of discoveries of oil and gas in Uganda, directed the EAC Secretariat to develop a regional refineries development strategy.
The Summit recognized that the discovery of hydrocarbon resources in the Albertine Graben in Uganda provided an opportunity for strengthening the region’s fossil fuel supplies.
It was noted that for those resources to provide optimal benefits to the region, their utilization be considered in the context of the region’s evolving energy needs, other available energy resources, infrastructure requirements, environmental issues and alternative export opportunities especially to countries in the wider region which have significant energy trade links with the EAC.
The East African Strategy for the development of regional refineries was completed and was later adopted by the Partner States in 2008.

The Strategy sought a harmonised development of refineries and associated supporting infrastructure.

It addressed issues pertaining to establishment, location, ownership structure, operational logistics and capacity.
The strategy further recommended that a refinery be developed in Uganda in order for the oil discovered to provide optimal benefits to the country and the region.

The government policy as stipulated in the National Oil and Gas policy of 2008 is to use the country’s oil and gas resources to contribute to early achievement of poverty eradication and create lasting value to society.
One of the main objectives of the policy is to promote valuable utilization of the country’s oil and gas resources through value addition by refining.

The Ministry formulated a Refinery Development Programme (RDP) in 2010 to guide the development of the refinery and its associated infrastructure.
As a step towards implementing the RDP, the Government of Uganda undertook a feasibility study for the development of an oil refinery in January 2010 which was completed in August 301 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 03 Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production 2010.

The feasibility study determined that it is feasible to develop an oil refinery in Uganda.
The study also recommended the refinery configuration, capacity, cost, location and the attendant infrastructure for the refinery.

The study also stipulated steps to take forward in refinery development.

Objectives: (i)To develop an appropriate legal, regulatory and licensing framework for crude Oil refining, and related infrastructure.
ii)Plan for the development of the refinery, pipelines, storage facilities and related midstream infrastructure iii)To contribute to building capacity in the new emerging areas of crude oil valuation and Midstream Petroleum Operations.

iv)To develop an appropriate modern institutional framework for crude Oil refining, and related midstream petroleum operations v)To promote private sector participation in the development and operation of refineries and related infrastructure.
vi)To promote regional and international cooperation in the development of Midstream infrastructure.

Link with the NDP: a) The development of the oil refinery will contribute to the strategies to increase stock of energy supply and improving quality of Public Physical Infrastructure as stipulated in the National Development Plan.

b)The refinery is a strategic development that will ensure value addition to the discovered oil and gas resources in the Albertine Graben.
c)This will save the country from incurring a petroleum product import bill of about 2 billion USD.

d)The refinery is expected to produce products such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) which is a clean gas that could potentially replace a large percentage of biomass used in household cooking.

The Midstream law (that is, The Petroleum Refining, Gas Processing and Conversion, Transportation and Storage Act of 2013) provides for, among other aspects, the development and operation of midstream petroleum infrastructure, especially bulk transportation pipelines and storage facilities.

Currently, activities regarding the planning for midstream pipelines and storage infrastructure are being handled as auxiliary functions to the refinery development project.
As the country moves forward into actual development of this infrastructure, however, it is critical that deliberate approaches are taken to firm up and implement the framework under which bulk transportation and storage infrastructure will be developed and operated.
Objectives: The main objective is to establish processes and build human resources and institutional capacity for the planning, development and operation of bulk petroleum pipelines and storage infrastructure to enable the realization of the country’s plans for commercialization of its oil and gas resources.
307 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 03 Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production Link with the NDP: Pipelines and Storage infrastructure for crude and products are among the priority areas of infrastructure development in the NDP II.

These will ease the transportation and storage of petroleum commodities and products tio ensure energy security in the country.
Expected Outputs: 1.Implementing the national strategy and plan for petroleum transportation and storage.

2.

Put in place a legal, Institutional, operating framework for promoting the development of infrastructure corridors integrating pipelines with other infrastructure to the extent possible.

Investments in petroleum pipelines and storage facilities promoted Technical description of the project: Petroleum pipelines and storage facilities are critical components of the petroleum value chain which link the oil fields to refineries and further on to the trading and consumer markets.

These linkages must be realized at the best possible economic and engineering cost without compromising health and safety, coupled with protection of the natural environment.
Additionally, pipelines are by far the most efficient, environmentally safe and cost effective means for bulk transportation of crude oil, gas and petroleum products.

To achieve the above goals, oil producing countries take deliberate efforts to put in place systems and processes for the planning, engineering, development and operation of such infrastructure.
The development of pipelines involves cross- cutting disciplines in engineering, earth sciences, economics, environment and the humanities among others.

To achieve these developments, countries have to invest in human resource development plans and put in place the requisite 308 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 03 Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production institutional framework.
So far only Kenya has put in place such institutional framework and established human resource potential for the development and operation of bulk petroleum pipelines and storage infrastructure.

As Uganda moves into the development and production phases, it is highly essential that targeted measures are taken to establish these capabilities in the development of midstream infrastructure, which is in line with priorities under the national development plans and the National Oil and Gas Policy.
The implementation of this project which is focused on the achievement of such goals and outputs is therefore recommended.

Technical description of the project: E4D/SOGA works in line with and towards implementing parts of the GoU’s Workforce Skills Development Strategy and Plan for the oil and gas sector (WSDSP), launched in April 2015.

The project has based its analytical research on the skills gap analysis conducted within the framework of the WSDSP.
As such E4D/SOGA focuses on addressing skills gaps in trades at qualification level 1 (basic skills) and 2 (craftsmen), including but not limited to the following occupational areas: civil/structural engineering, driving (e.g.

heavy goods vehicle driving), welding, scaffolding, mechanical technicians, heavy equipment operator, industrial painting, hospitality and catering.
The project aims to establish public private partnerships with industry to support industry-oriented skills development, either through industry-based training provision or by linking vocational training providers with industry.

A strong emphasis will be placed on providing practical training and on facilitating access for vocational teachers and students to placements and internships.

Selected vocational training providers will be strengthened in their management and institutional capacity.
Teaching quality of instructors will be improved and oil & gas relevant certification will be introduced.

To this end, SOGA will work with international skills development and accreditation bodies relevant for the oil and gas industry, such as City & Guilds and OPITO.

To ensure timely provision of skilled workers, SOGA will also tap into the existing labour market, identifying existing skills and introducing methods of recognition of prior learning.
Further, SOGA plans to establish basic skills and work readiness trainings, e.g.

on health and safety (HSE), to fast-track people with existing skills into jobs.
Finally, the project supports local suppliers to become oil & gas service providers by strengthening their ability to bid for 316 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 03 Petroleum Exploration, Development & Production contracts, improving the company’s health and safety standards, as well as providing higher quality products and services through better qualified workers.
In this regard, SOGA looks at how to optimally collaborate with the planned “Industry Enhancement Centre” (IEC), to be set up by the GoU in partnership with oil companies licensed in the country.

In the Albertine region, SOGA supports small enterprises and entrepreneurs in benefiting from local supply chain and induced economic opportunities from the oil and gas investments.

To this end, it also explores opportunities to build up local agriculture and food supply chains to oil camps.

Oil exploration is going on in western Uganda and commercial oil and gas discoveries have been made in the Albertine Graben of Western Uganda in Hoima and Buliisa Districts.

Plans to construct an inland oil refinery targeting both the domestic and regional market are underway with feasibility study for the same completed.

Uganda depends entirely on imported petroleum products for its requirements at the moment.
The major bottleneck in accessing imports into the country is that Uganda is a land locked country and hence sources more than 90% of its supplies through Kenya and the balance through Tanzania.

Limited storage capacity for petroleum products coupled with long distance from the sea and increased consumption of petroleum products makes the country prone to petroleum supply constraints.
According to Petroleum Supply Act, 2003 (PSA) and Petroleum Supply (General) Regulations, 2009 (PSR), the government should have a minimum stock of 20 days and Oil Marketing Companies should maintain 10 days to meet the 30 days stock for the national requirement.

Petroleum products are distributed inland by fuel tankers mainly from central region where depots are mainly located.
This mode of distribution has a number of challenges such as road accidents involving fuel tankers and HIV/AIDS spread are coupled by lack of contingency plan, Health, Safety and Environment standards, codes of practice and knowledge of handling petroleum products by the population.

The commercial oil discovery in Uganda and the proposal to set up inland pipeline will require the development of infrastructures such as inland pipeline and storage facilities in order to evacuate petroleum products.
The Downstream Petroleum Department has the following functions as stipulated in the Petroleum Supply Act of 2003.

- To provide technical advice to the minister in all legislative and regulatory matters concerning petroleum supply operations.

These new institutions have been created to solve part of our enduring challenges which today are compounded in poverty and unemployment arising from huge growing young population and their expectations are many.

Thus mineral-subsector must deliver socio-economic transformation with inclusive economic growth in the development process.
The sub-sector can employ both directly and indirectly since in 2011-2014 at least 26.5% of the population was employed in the mineral sub-sector more especially as Artisanal and 328 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production Small Scale Miners (ASM) and quarrying industrial minerals, i.e.

Within the framework of the National Development Plan (NDP-I, 2010/11-2014/15), the mineral-subsector was to solve the five (5) constraints (i) inadequate infrastructure to link mineral corridors (ii) land access to mineral deposits (iii) access to mining technologies for value addition (iv) inadequate human resources (v) inadequate basic geodata for mining and planning.

The actions to solve the constraints were set in seven objectives in the NDP I.
Some of the outputs in the set objectives have been delivered and those not attained yet have been moved into the NDP-II especially parts of objectives 1 to 6 of NDP-II.

The gaps will be filled by this proposed project to deliver the outputs in the areas of extractive industry policy, infrastructure, mineral extraction, mineral beneficiation, value addition and investment promotion, mineral exploration risk reduction and strengthen mineral wealth management.
However, the key achievements so far made signal opportunities in the mineral-sub-sector and envisions that the transformation of Uganda into a modern, prosperous country within the next 30 years will largely depend on interfacing human resources, technology with mineral resources and research.
These key elements remain a foundation of industrial development strategy when resources are founded on stability and peace; knowledge-based economy; gainful and sustainable exploitation of minerals; a private sector led economy and a strong federated East Africa with an effective common market.
Uganda’s mineral sub-sector is still underdeveloped to support industrialisation due infrastructure gaps and yet mining activities are inextricably linked to infrastructure needs, social services and explicitly recognized within national poverty reduction strategies in the NDP –II agenda and Vision 2040.

Mineral sub-sector offers a greater multiplier effect to the mining communities where good extractive policies are implemented.
In Uganda, the extractive industry requires an extractive industry policy adjustment which is now ongoing.

Mining value chain analysis and baseline studies indicate that besides the direct jobs, in an extractive industry i.e.
one big mine or its chain value, the industry has a potential to generate 100,000 to 150,000 indirect and induced jobs in a typical natural rich resources community where the discoveries have been made for extraction and their development has taken place Since 1996 the support from Government continued to strengthen the Mineral sub-sector in the areas of mining legislation which is now under a review, geo-scientific surveys, human resources development, procurement of specialized equipment and tools for acquisition and management of geo-scientific data, analytical laboratories, environment management and office space at the Headquarters in Entebbe after the end of the Sustainable Management of Mineral Resources Project (SMMRP) that commenced in August 2004 and ended in December 2008, though some activities were extended up to 2011.
Although SMMRP solved the major and basic bottlenecks in the mineral sub-sector and created mineral investment opportunities, new challenges and outcomes such as gold mining rush in Mubende and Mayuge Districts need to be solved.
In addition, the extractive industry challenges to solve are many but the major one include: (i)Policy challenges: the governments emphasize valued addition on minerals while the private sector is looking for quick profits through export of mineral ores and crude petroleum products.

(ii)Financing.

Extractive industry operations are expensive and projects take long.

Lenders of money consider mining more risky business.
Thus mining companies face hard times to mobilise financing without support of governments.

Thus, it remains the work of government to reduce exploration risk by establishing it mineral reserves for extraction and use for social and economic transformations of communities (iii)Infrastructure: Mineral ores, petroleum resources are often discovered in remote inaccessible locations.

Extension of the infrastructure such as roads, and other lifelines becomes expensive for all actors.
It is therefore the work of government to solve its infrastructure problems to initiate development in the mining communities.

(iv)Electric-Power-generation and distribution: Africa power generation is still lower than the global average to meet all 329 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production the needs of the population and industrialization.
All African governments are making huge investments in power generation and infrastructure extension projects to the mining centres.

In Uganda most of the mineral deposits are not connected to electricity power corridors.

(v)Environment contamination: the use of chemicals such as mercury in gold processing by artisanal and small scale miners is polluting environment and water in communities leading to severe consequences to the population and communities.
The use of mercury possesses serious challenge in Mubende and Mayuge districts.

ASM have to be regulated and mainstreamed.

This proposed project is to solve the above bottlenecks in the extractive industry.

In addition, there are gaps in mineral data sets which have to be addressed.
For instance, by December 2012, the country was covered by airborne geophysical surveys up to 80% and geological mapping at scale 1:100,000 is up to 80% while the scale of, 1:250.000 maps is at 70% and scale1:50,000 is at 16% of national coverage.

The statistics here show that more work has to be done to make 100% geophysical, geological and geochemical data of national coverage.

Although there are these gaps, the available geological information is now well-established in geo-scientific databases.
These are: (i) the Mining Cadastre and Registry System (ii) Geological and Mineral Information System with Internet-Intranet (iii) Environmental and Social Mineral Information System.

An assortment of ground survey equipment, analytical facilities and highly trained staff in the field of geosciences were put in place and recruited respectively though there is high staff turnover for greener pastures.
Here there are two gaps that need to be addressed: (a) a need to establish off site data recovery disaster management system and (b) solve the high rate of employee turnover especially the geoscientists.
The recurrent non-wage budget supported the execution of the recurrent activities to enable mineral investment promotion, administration and review of the mining legislation but could to adequately deliver field inspection and monitoring of mining operation to improve the non-tax revenue assessment and collection.

There is need to strengthen the monitoring of mining operations and trade and also mitigate the use of chemicals during mining.
The chemicals are polluting the environment in the communities and water catchment systems.

There is therefore need to strengthen mineral wealth management system and regulate effectively mining activities for sustainable development.
Since 2011 financing of the Minerals sub-sector improved from about 270 million Uganda shillings to 466 million under the non-wage recurrent budget implement activities in the following output areas: Mineral policy formulation and regulation; Institutional-capacity for the mineral sector, Mineral exploration Development Production and value addition; Health and Safety, Social Awareness for the Miners; Licensing and Inspection and Subscriptions to International Organizations.
The projects development budget too improved from Uganda shillings 1.489 billion in 2011/12 to, 1.922 in 2012/13 and 6.245 in 2013/14 to facilitate the implementation of two projects (MEMD BFPs 2011- 14).

The projects commenced in 2011 as were planed according to the NDP-I objectives 1-6 (NDP-I p.109-113).

(a)The Airborne Geophysical Surveys and Geological Mapping of Karamoja.
The Project was intended to complete the 20% aeromagnetic data coverage that was not undertaken under SMMRP and also construct a Regional Office in Moroto, Karamoja.

This activity was not completed due to lengthy land acquisition processes.

The land is now available and construction will take place in the NPP-II cycle 2015/16 to deliver the output.
(b)The Uganda Geothermal Development Project: The project aims at completing surface exploration in the four geothermal prospects (Buranga, Kibiro, Panyimur and Katwe-Kikorongo).

This project is ongoing to support the newly created Geothermal Resources Department.

Uganda is an earthquake prone country and the damage caused by 05th February 1994 was 2.4% of Gross Domestic Product.
Cabinet and parliament made recommendation to set up an earthquake research laboratory and put all relevant 330 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production infrastructures in place.

In response to the efforts above there is a gap to ensure the remaining 80% of construction and equip seismic stations is completed.
In addition, restoration of earthquake research facility and strengthening of the ground monitoring network is incomplete.

There is need to extend a dense earthquake monitoring infrastructure in Albertine Grabben to monitor the seismic activity for oil refinery infrastructure to ensure sustainable management of oil and gas production systems.

NDP-I recommended 40 seismic station for national coverage to monitor earthquakes prone zones.

Only 20% of the country is covered by the earthquake stations.
The densification of the seismic stations is required and restoration of earthquake research facility is need.

The proposed project will solve this problem.

This project is seeking funds starting FY 2015/16 five years and end in FY 2019/20 (i)Completion of 20% aeromagnetic data coverage of 20 million United States Dollars (UGX59.3 billion).
(ii)Construction of earthquake research facility at plot 7 Hill road Entebbe designs and civil works (UGX 3.48 billion and UGX 35.7 billion) respectively.

(iii)Establishment of Other Mineral Wealth Centres (UGX 1.5).

(iv)Kigezi iron Ore Development (UGX 10.2 billion).

(v)Exploration and Development of Rare Earth Elements (UGX 1.2 billion).
(vi)Linking 4 Mineral Rich Corridors to Business Centre (UGX 32 billion) (vii)Mining Infrastructure Development (UGX 14 billion) (viii)Mineral Wealth Management (UGX 2.1 billion).

(ix)Gazzeting Mining Zones and Geoparks (UGX 0.6 billion) In the FY2015/16, the mineral sector provision of UGX 6.599 billion has been made.

Part of the funds for (UGX 3.000 billion) is allocated towards the development of the Earthquake Research Facilities.

Percentage of Geological data coverage Technical description of the project: The project will complete 20% of the remaining Aeromagnetic and Radiometric Map Coverage.

The electromagnetic survey need to cover three targets with potential of high mineral occurrence reported previously by geological observation with a total of 8,157 line km.

The Magnetic and Radiometric techniques will be used to survey the whole Karamoja Region covering of distance of 378,957 line-kilometres.
Therefore whole survey area to be covered by Electromagnetics, Magnetics and Radiometrics is 387,102 line-kilometres.

Karamoja area has some rugged terrain, the helicopter thus Time domain Electromagnetic (EM) system is priotised because of its capabilities to manoeuvre and possibility of easy options of refuelling, parking and technically it offers a better resolution because of high depth penetration to detect mineral anomalies.
Fixed wing for Magnetics and Radiometrics is highly favoured over the helicopter systems because of being cheaper and economical.

This project will fill the gaps in the current extractive industry policy, mining infrastructure development and operations, mine inspections to increase non tax revenue and expand tax base through mineral value addition.
The infrastructure especially roads, rail and extension of electricity to mineral deposits Centres will accelerated social economic 332 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production transformation of communities into mining industrial parks and link other mineral rich corridors to business centres, geo- parks and attract geo-tourism centres.
The projects will evaluate, metallic, industrial and the strategic mineral deposits of over twenty seven (27) potentially viable minerals in order to reduce the investment risks and attract potential developers for key minerals high economic returns: (1) Rare Earth Elements (REE) to enable the development of hi-technology industries.

Iron ore (2) Iron ore to transform the country in to pure Iron producer and Steel and machine manufacturing.
(3) It is estimated in the Vision 2040 that over 24,000 Mega Watts will be produced from nuclear power which will complement other sources of energy therefore, uranium reserves in ten (10) targets covering an area of 2882 square kilometres have to be determined to prepare the country for sustainable energy generation.
The project will strengthen mineral management so that their exploitation does not compromise the future needs of the country without inclusive sustainable economic growth and development and also to avoid the creation of regional imbalances in the Mining Industry.
Achievements for FY 2015/16: The Mineral Sub-Sector continued to attract private investment in mineral resources exploration and development through the provision of geo-scientific information on minerals, and management of equitable and secure titles systems for the mining industry as well as regulating the mining activities.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS Mineral Exploration The following are key achievements so far made in the current financial year 2014/15: (i)Geological, geochemical and geophysical mapping of key strategic minerals.

Elgon in 2010, this phenomenon was followed by also a series of lightning strikes in many parts of the country.

These two processes are still active.

In our investigation, it was confirmed that there was lack of data to enable our group study the two phenomena.

It was noted that ground networks to monitor geophysical processes relating to climate change variability and its outcomes such as lightening and ground deformation are inexistent in Uganda.
It was also noted that using science and technology based research; the country shall overcome the negative outcomes of such natural processes.

If mitigated, destruction of property and loss of life can be avoided.

In our efforts to solve the threats posed by two phenomena, the country relies on Infrasound Data recorded at Nairobi infrasound Station (IS32) that is operated by the Preparatory Commission for Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty organization (CTBTO).
The 340 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production station is part of International Monitoring System (IMS) for civil and scientific application The IS32 station provides data that is helpful especially in the landslides and lightening studies.
However, there is lack of Local Infrasound Network density to improve azimuth solutions and enable interpretation of the data to so that scientific information can be used in social and economic development processes including improvement of household’s and population’s security in Uganda.

This project is therefore to solve lack of data problem by establishing an Infrasound Network Array in Uganda.
The relevance of the local network is to collect infrasound data, improve our data detection, processing and interpretation of the infrasound sources.

The data will be used in carrying out research and mapping out lightening high risk areas and settlements.

This action will enable the country put corrective measures in individual, community and public buildings in the most high risk areas such as Kiryandongo District where lightening killed 20 pupils and their teacher in a class room.
Thus, early warning systems, adaptation, mitigation systems need to be installed for population’s security.

In addition, this project is intended to establish and install five (5) infrasound stations in Uganda to complement the IMS Nairobi Station (IS32) in order strengthen local infrasound network density for research in Uganda and so as to solve the lightening problem the country is now facing.
The challenge of loss of school children should be understood by the government of Uganda to have this strategic action be supported.

In the Financial year 2016/17 at least funds amounting to UGX1.2 billion are need to commence activities 1 to 4 to enable the establishment of disaster preparedness on this eminent geographical location problem of being located inter-tropical convergence equatorial zone.
So far, many children’s lives would have been saved from lightning strikes and flares in affected parts of the country, for instance in Gulu, Lira, Hoima, Jinja, Kalangala, Kisoro Kiryandongo and Bushenyi districts if preparedness and adaptation measures had been implemented.

In a long-term, Infrasound Network Infrastructure is needed in such high risk prone zones to lightening and avalanches.
Practical solutions will then be developed based on simulations and scenarios from historical data to present events data across the country to solve this problem.

The desk study confirmed that such high risk prone zones lack risk distribution, economic loss and vulnerability maps developed from real time data and records.

This information will be used to assist in approving buildings plans especially for public use and communities and enforcement of bylaws.
From local to national perspective, many classrooms were constructed but they lack installation of lightening protection safeguards.

There is lack of installation of adaptation and mitigation gadgets in schools across the country.

This gap makes the school pupils vulnerable to lightning strikes.

This project will solve this problem in lightening prone zones.

This project will have both direct and indirect benefits in the whole life cycle of society.
The infrasound network will enable the detection of infrasound signals from both natural and man-made sources such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, severe weather storms, lightening, airflows over mountains, meteors, landslides, rocket launches, aircrafts, machinery such as diesel engines and wind turbines, chemical and nuclear explosions.

The data from the infrasound network will be recorded, archived, analysed and interpreted for the social and economic benefits of society.
The outcome from the data will enable the country put corrective measures in individual, community and public buildings in the most high risk areas in the District to solve the challenge of loss of school children and also make the country alert.

The project will enable the establishment of full scale disaster preparedness of the country on this eminent geographical location problem of being located inter-tropical convergence equatorial zone.
Thus, early warning systems, adaptation, mitigation systems installed will improve population’s security on a long-term.

In order to harness the benefits this project will bring, to the people of Uganda, there is a need to fast track safety of children in the project plan, establish five (5) infrasound stations and strengthen local infrasound research capacity for social economic development.

This is one of the ways that science and technology are used to benefit society.
This project will solve challenges of population’s security using various scientific interventions in order to enable the 341 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production country attain objectives 1 to 4 set in NDP II.
During the desk studies for instance, it was noted that since 1996 the Government continued to strengthening the population’s security through health innervations such as immunization, legislation and awareness but challenges that require the use of science and technology based solutions remain for consideration in public safety especially in public buildings and other infrastructure.

Nonetheless gaps still exist.


For instance from 2004 to 2011, lightning killed 156 people and injured 727 whereas between 2012 and 2013, Uganda lost over 205 primary school children to lightning strikes.

In addition to those above, the country has lost over 160 pupils due to lightning in 2014 and by November 2015 over 30 students were killed by lightning flares in Iganga and 5 in Bushenyi respectively.

(Media Reports September 2015).
The desk studies confirmed that there are major bottle necks to solve at policy and community levels at districts in the following areas: (i)Policy: both local and central governments will have to emphasize installation of lightning protection systems and technologies on buildings especially in highly vulnerable communities or all prone zones in the country, but they lack the scientific data and information interpreted for public education and sensitization of the population for corrective measures and policy adjustment and bylaws for planning and setup of infrastructure in villages and community level.
(ii)Financing.

Science and technology based solution or operations are expensive and governments have to put up sustainable and long-term access to the necessary technologies by the communities at local and central governments through cooperatives and risk transfer systems by attracting investors and services provides for right cause and solution.
This intervention will create new business opportunities in components or systems distribution shops for trading in adaptation and mitigation measures technologies.

(iii)Infrastructure: Infrasound technology infrastructure for risk detection and recording of high resolution data is lacking at all levels to enable simulations and scenarios from historical to present events across the country.
A functional infrasound network infrastructure would therefore be useful for data capture and early warning systems development.

A network for early warning mechanism has to be put in place for preparedness needs of the country.

Public buildings have to be inspected for adaptation and mitigation systems measures compliance.

(iv)Training: There is a shortage of trained human resources in infrasound research in Uganda for social and economic development in view of population’s security.
National capacity has to be strengthened by training of Staff and setting up an infrasound training centres in Uganda.

A National Infrasound Technology Training Center (NITTC) has to be established in the country.

The Centre will enable the population and the youth be trained in adaptation and mitigation technologies dissemination.

By this endeavor, more employment opportunities will be created in both public and private sector.
(v)Planning: Both local and central government plans have to integrate climate change issues.

The climate variability has increased the frequency of storms leading to severe consequences to the population and communities risk of all lightening prone zones and infrastructure to support local governments for corrective measures in future have to be published.
This proposed project is to solve the bottlenecks above and fill the infrasound data coverage gap This project is therefore seeking approval to implement the following activities starting FY 2016/17 for five years that will end in FY 2020/21 Objectives: The objectives of the project are: 342 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production 1.

Technical description of the project: The project will install five (5) infrasound arrays to complement CTBTO Infrasound Station IS32 at Karura forest in Nairobi.

The actual sites will be established at appropriate government forested land because infrasound technology is sensitive to wind noise.
The arrays are installed on the specified geometries that enable detection of low frequency infrasound signals from both natural and man-made sources such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, severe weather storms, lightening, airflows over mountains, meteors, landslides, rocket launches, aircrafts, machinery such as diesel engines and wind turbines, chemical and nuclear explosions.

In Uganda infrasound sources are many.

Uganda is geo-hazards prone country due its equatorial zone location.
In Uganda, there is a highest rate of lightning strike deaths among the countries in the world and its capital Kampala has more days of lightning per year than any other city.

The climate variability seems to have increased the population’s vulnerability.

These two phenomena present a natural geophysical laboratory for research in Uganda.

Besides other disasters namely- landslides, floods and earthquakes, incidents of death by lightening are more frequently reported.
For instance, on 29th June 2011, a lightning strike killed 18 children and their teacher at Runyanya primary school in Kiryandongo.

In addition, Uganda is located in endowment of natural resources of economic importance such as geothermal, hydropower dams and other artificial sources that will be well managed using infrasound data.
The other endowments include wildlife, fresh water lakes rich in fish, salty lakes, wells, and oil and gas resources in a tectonically active environment whose management can be improved by deploying infrasound technology that is lacking in the country.

Volcanic processes generate infrasound data.

The recent past experience has shown that the region suffered volcanism both on large and small scale which can today be manifested in localised volcanic centres.
Although the past volcanism commenced 23 million years ago in East Africa and 12 million years ago in western rift, volcanic eruptions continue to occur in the rift margins near Kigezi region.

More often, in the western rift of Uganda which comprises the Albertine graben, there occur more than 100 earthquakes that are felt per year.
The cause of high seismic activity in the Western rift is large scale extension regime of the faults thereby causing stress accumulation and release at their margins of the geological structures that can be studied using infrasound technology.
In a strict sense, under favourable geological terrines, the tectonic activity processes and earthquake occurrences have great influence on heat flow that controls the geothermal system and optimising the conditions for oil and gas formation in source rocks, its migration and storage in the traps.
On the other hand, Uganda has a high seismic and volcanic risk 344 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production due its tectonic setting: (a) The Ruwenzori massif and tectonic movements cause stress accumulation that is released along the border and boundary faults to the mountain and in the albertine graben.
The faults include:- the Nyamwamba, Kicwamba, Bwamba, and Kitimbi-Semuliki, Ruimi-Wasa and Bunyoro –Toro.

(b) Katonga Fault:- this fault starts from foothills of the Ruwenzori Mountain, traverses Lake Victoria and connects to Kavirondo Gulf in western Kenya and Speke Gulf south of Lake Victoria in Tanzania.

© Aswa Shear Zone:- the shear zone is observed in Uganda from Nimule at Uganda –Sudan Border and joins Mt Elgon in the north-east (see Kiatabosi Hotspring).
The north – eastern volcanic fields is part of an array of tertiary and pre-tertiary that is composed of Mts.

Moroto, Kadam and Napak (Kanagorok hot spring).

The tectonism and processes in EARS maintain a high seismic activity in the region which must be continuously and fully scientifically monitored and studies for infrastructure sustainability and public safety.
This is a perquisite because big and moderate shallow earthquakes occur frequently in the Western rift, some which caused serious damage of infrastructure in Western Uganda.

It is therefore important to incorporate seismic risk factors in the planning, designing and implementation of any project and infrastructure within the East African region.

Achievements for FY 2015/16: KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN INFRASOUND SCIENTIFIC AND CIVIL APPLICATION A desk study on this project was commenced in 2010.
The study was initiated during the landslide phenomena of February to March 2010 when the Bududa area on slopes of Mt Elgon in Eastern Uganda was devastated by catastrophic landslides that buried 300 people and left others homeless.

The landslide was triggered off by heavy rainfall.

During August 2011, 29 people were killed and at least 22 homes buried after heavy rainfall in Mabono village.
In 2012 we continued with same study in June 2012 when a landslide killed 20 people and a population of 220 people was displaced in Mt Elgon.

The study was on the cracks observed on the ground that were generating creeping sounds and heard by the population during the night.

We undertook a study using infrasound (IS32) station data from Nairobi to infer the landslides sequence during February and March 2010.
We obtained technical support from Centre for Environment and Atmospheric (CEA) studies of France.

CEA provided software (WinPMCC) that was used to analyse the infrasound data for prediction of potential landslide signatures.

The data was obtained from the closest Station Infrasound by requests to International Data Centre in Vienna.

The Infrasound Station (IS32) is located at Karura forest in Nairobi, Kenya.

The station is part of the International Monitoring System (IMS) of the CTBTO.
We also collected the passive seismic data by direct monitoring the Mt.

Elgon region.

The data was interpreted and the results indicated that there is a likelihood of seismic activity in the mountain that could trigger initiation of fractures.

From Infrasound data, only seven candidate events were found to correlate with Mt Elgon Azimuth from IS32 station.

Out of the seven events recorded, four events of good data were analysed and results showed that: 1.
The landslides history in Mt Elgon is long and most likely signals recorded by IS32 station in Nairobi but the challenge is the gaps in Universal Time vs. Local time scale and news reporting to guide infrasound data analysis.

2.

The results show that azimuths between 270 and 360 degrees may be associated with families of the landslide signatures or lightening flares detections from Mt.

Elgon in Eastern Uganda equatorial thunderstorms or other activities at the IS32 station.

3.
3.

Infrasound stations record useful data for landslide studies; however more research and capacity building is needed to prove landslide signature in the data to enable Early warning systems or human resettlement action in the highly vulnerable area.
345 Public Investment Plan Vote: 017 Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 03 05 Mineral Exploration, Development & Production This study is the first on-going research using infrasound technology to study landslide signature detections by IS32 station from Mt.

Elgon in Eastern Uganda.

In collaboration with other National Data Centres (NDCs), Infrasound data will continue to improve our understanding of the landslide phenomena in Mt.
Elgon, however more research and capacity building is needed to improve our models in landslide prediction and early warning systems.

Such efforts can demonstrate the strength of international collaboration and verification technologies in civil protection.

We have continued to study lightening flares to establish high radiance zones but the lack of ground infrasound network is the limitation.
The project will enable production of risk maps to support insurance companies and developers of infrastructure for better risk management practices and preparedness.

(See Annex X attached) Plan of operation: This project is planned to commence in on 01 July 2016 and run for five (5) years.

It is expected to fill in the gaps in infrasound technology the country faces.

The project will undertake reconnaissance studies and establish suitable site for the infrasound stations setup in Uganda.
A consultant will be hired to assist in the design of the Infrasound Network configuration and preparation of a tender document.

Procurement of contractor to construct the network infrastructure will follow.

Concurrently, procurement of infrasound network equipment will be undertaken.

The installation of the infrasound network will follow and commissioning of the network.
The project will build national capacity in infrasound technology for scientific and civil applications will be undertaken throughout by training and skilling of human resource in collaboration with CTBTO and Infrasound Research Institutions in United States of America and France including other regions not mentioned here.

One National Infrasound Technology Training Center (NITTC) will be establish and equipped.
In summary plan of operation of project will involve: Desk studies and reconnaissance; Site surveys for infrasound stations; Design of the infrasound network configuration; Procurement of equipment and services; Construction of the infrasound network; Installation of equipment and testing; Commissioning of the network; Operation of the network; Set up; Infrasound Training Centre; Training of human resources; Collaboration and research.

 nascent commercial oil discoveries in the Albertine Graben and the acquisition of high quality mineral data revealing existence of high value mineral ores all over Uganda.
These developments led to the need to restructure the ministry.

In that regard, the sector had to put in place mechanisms to undertake major reforms in the management of the Upstream Oil and Gas industry as well as the Mid and Down Stream industry.
Likewise, the extensive developments in the minerals sub sector, needed to put in place mechanisms that ensure development, attraction, recruitment and remuneration of human capital, in order to prevent loss of revenue to Government in form of royalties and taxes.

Additionally, three flagship projects under the National Development Plan (NDP) are within the mandate of the EMD, these are Muko iron ore project, Sukuru phosphates, and Karuma hydropower project.
These projects together with other priority projects in the sector, warrants the appropriate investment in regulatory and supervisory mechanisms to ensure the maximum benefits to the Government are secured.
It is also worth noting that Government requires a protracted response to regulate the power sector to ensure consumer protection in view of the recent tariff regime changes for the electricity sector, especially in the oversight of the functionality of the Electricity Companies, the regulator and the concessionaires in generation and transmission.

To enable the Ministry cope with the increased activities, the current situation warrants urgent response.
The institutional capacity needs of the MEMD, at any time, which comprises of the human resource capital, skills and abilities, the available facilities and equipment routinely replacement of depreciated capital stock.

Objectives: (i)To put in place an effective and efficient coordination, planning and monitoring mechanism in the Energy and Mineral sector.

According to statistics, about 3,300 lives are lost annually in road traffic accidents, and many others get injured.

Of economic concern also, it is estimated that the cost of road traffic accidents to the economy is about 2.3% of the total GDP.

This is a very substantial loss which could otherwise be productively invested elsewhere in the economy if not for road traffic accidents.

Majority of the road traffic accidents (i.e.

80%) are caused by Human Error.


In addition to computerisation of driving permits which mainly address the problem incompetent drivers due to forged permits, the activities planned under this project are additional key interventions to address the problem of Human Error amongst drivers, especially those for Public Service Vehicles (PSVs).

Objectives: i.

To improve safety of road users by improving competence of drivers on the country’s road network.

ii.
ii.

To establish a data recovery / back-up Centre for all data generated at the Uganda Computerised Driving Permits production facility.

iii.

Enhance knowledge and technical skills transfer of the local human resource team.

Iv.

To establish a modern driver testing facility and model driver training school.

Link with the NDP: This Project is majorly aimed at improving road safety.
Improved safety on the roads will positively contribute to the quality and quantity of road traffic and transport services which is a subcomponent of NDP objective "C" - i.e.

Improving stock and quality of economic infrastructure.

The existing railway line from Tanga terminates at Arusha (438km), hence the need for an extension to Musoma Port (Lake Victoria).

The Project will be jointly implemented by the two Governments.

The two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) spelling out the respective obligations.

The MoU was signed on 29th June 2011.


As part of this project the Ministry has identified 500–acre piece of land, 207 acres is within NFA’s land (Eucalyptus tree) and the remaining 309 acres covers Bukasa village.

This site is located in Bukasa which is a peninsular land that connects the main land through Kirinya trading center before joining the main Kampala–Jinja highway at Kireka/bypass at Nambole stadium for approximately 4km.
Objectives: The Objectives of the Project shall be, among others, to: i) Achieve sustainable socio–economic development and integration by unlocking the under–developed transport potential in Uganda and Tanzania.
ii) Develop adequate, reliable, cost effective, efficient and seamless transport and telecommunication systems so that the railway sub–sector is competitive iii) Foster and catalyze the involvement of public – private sector partnership for the development of the agro–industry, manufacturing, tourism, mining and service sector.
iv) Re–orient the corridor trade and investment through the promotion of human settlement, minimizing rural–urban migration, alleviating poverty and strategically positioning economic activities of the area.

V) Promote smooth interstate trade and investments in order to create job opportunities and enhance the people’s standard of living.
Link with the NDP: Increase the volume of passenger traffic and cargo freight by marine transport Expected Outputs: A new modern port in Bukasa, fully equipped and well connected to the hinterland Performance Indicators: Status of establishment of the New Kampala port in Bukasa Technical description of the project: The desire to undertake this project (Tanga–Arusha–Musoma–New Kampala Port, Railway and Ports Project) arises from the continued difficulties of transporting goods between the current ports of Dar–es–Salaam and Mombasa to Uganda.
The difficulties include high transport cost and longer distance.

Hence, the Government of the Republic of Uganda and the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania agreed to develop the Southern route through Lake Victoria.

In particular, the Government of Uganda will develop a New Port in Bukasa.

World's leading Airlines are also increasingly accessing Africa’s air transport market and several of them have acquired new big aircraft like Airbus 380 which have necessitated upgrade of infrastructure (runways, taxiways and aprons), facilities and technologies by airports.
In addition there is increased competition amongst airports for the growing air traffic market in Africa as manifested by the various expansion projects at several regional airports like Jomo Kenyatta, Julius Nyerere, Addis Ababa (Bole) and Kigali.

The next generation air navigation technologies were endorsed during the 12th ICAO Air Navigation Conference held in Montreal, Canada during the period 19th – 30th November 2012.
The technologies are intended to achieve a globally interoperable air navigation system to provide a seamless service.

Member States have been urged by ICAO to adhere to the roadmap for the recommended upgrades in order to achieve the above objective.

The above developments have necessitated the expansion and upgrade of Entebbe International Airport which is Uganda’s main gateway for international air traffic.
Objectives: To promote service excellence at Entebbe International Airport through provision of competitive infrastructure and facilities 380 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 02 Transport Services and Infrastructure Link with the NDP: The project contributes to the NDP objective of increasing stock and improving quality of public physical infrastructure.
One of the strategic actions to realize this objective is by improving air transport infrastructure and services.

Improving air transport infrastructure, by increasing the entry-exit points and the infrastructure at Entebbe International Airport is one of the investment priorities of the NDP.

Expected Outputs: i) Mobilization completed ii) Camp site established iii) New cargo centre complex earth works completed iv) Apron 2 rehabilitated.
Performance Indicators: i) Percentage of Camp site established ii) Percentage of new cargo centre complex earth works completed iii) Percentage of Apron 2 rehabilitated.

Technical description of the project: The upgrade and expansion of EIA will be implemented through nine (9) major components as described below.

• New Cargo Centre Complex: The current cargo facility occupies an area earmarked for the new proposed passenger terminal complex.
That makes this project component critical.

The existing cargo facility must be relocated to the new proposed cargo centre complex in order to create space for the new proposed passenger terminal complex.

The new cargo centre complex will be modern and will facilitate better the exporters of non-traditional products (Fish, flowers, fruits and vegetables) as well as traders of various items.

The centre is expected to boost air cargo through EIA.
• New Passenger Terminal Complex: As passengers through EIA continue to grow together with rapidly changing airport technologies, a new passenger terminal complex is unavoidable.

Most of the existing terminal sub-systems are already saturated and the expansion that can be done on these sub-systems is limited.

There is a lot of competition within the region for increased passenger throughput at the various airports.
Airlines are looking for airports that offer their passengers/customers convenience, efficiency, cool shopping experience and most importantly reduced costs for their operations.

The new terminal complex will occupy the area currently occupied by the cargo facility.

The new passenger terminal complex will be modern with a minimum capacity of 3.5 million passengers a year.

• Runway 17/35 and its Associated Taxiways: Runway 17/35 is the primary runway for Entebbe International Airport.
It is 3658m long and 60m wide.

It is equipped with edge lights and a CAT 1 instrument landing system.

The wearing course of the pavement is comprised of asphalt concrete of 75mm thickness.

The runway and its associated taxiways and apron had a major renovation in 1996 that involved milling off the existing wearing course, replacement of the wearing course with new asphalt concrete (40mm thick) and provision of an overlay of (35mm thick) bringing the total wearing course thickness to 75mm.
Signs of pavement failures in form of slippage, longitudinal and transverse cracks have started showing, which calls for immediate attention.

For a more economic approach to the intervention the strengthening works will be done concurrently with widening of Runway 17/35 (from category 4E to 4F) and its associated taxiways to enable them have the capacity to handle Airbus 380.

However, widening the runway will require acquisition of extra land.
Entebbe 381 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 02 Transport Services and Infrastructure International Airport has already been approached by Emirates Airlines as a possible technical stop over airport for their A380 continental flights.

• Apron 1: Apron1 is the main aircraft parking space at Entebbe International Airport.

The apron has a parking capacity of 11 bays fully equipped with re-fueling hydrant pits.
At peak hours there is no adequate parking for the aircrafts at the main apron leading to parking of the aircrafts at some taxiways which is inconveniencing.

The area proposed for the expansion is the green area between the apron and runway 17/35 directly in front of the western side of the apron.

The expansion of the Apron will create 11 additional parking bays.

Aircrafts will park facing the runway such that the tail ends of the aircrafts do not interfere with the transitional surface for runway 17/35.
• Apron 2: The entire apron needs reconstruction right from the sub-grade covering the sub-base, base and wearing course.

The apron could still be left in asphalt concrete but given a concrete stand in the middle section of a minimum of 30mm depth.

It will be provided with a refueling hydrant system, apron edge lights and a fully fledged apron flood light system.

The new wearing course will be constructed with a proper gradient of 1% away from the VVIP Terminal.
A drainage system will be incorporated in the repair works as well as apron markings.

The design life of the new apron will be at least 20 years.

• Apron 4: Apron 4 is located on the Eastern side of the main passenger terminal building between the main airport access road and Runway 12/30.

It is served by Taxiway 1 which connects to runway 12/30.

The apron and its associated Taxiway were constructed in preparation for CHOGM 2007.
The design aircraft for the pavement was a Gulf Stream V and as such its structural strength is limited.

For pavements that are to be used by commercial aircrafts, it is recommended that the minimum cement concrete wearing course thickness is 150mm.

This therefore means that the existing wearing course thickness is inadequate.

There is no refueling hydrant system on the apron.


The apron will be given a cement concrete overlay of a minimum thickness of 100mm and a re-fuelling hydrant system will be installed.

• Runway 12/30 and its Associated Taxiways: Runway 12/30 is the secondary runway for Entebbe International Airport.

It is 2408 m long and 45m wide with shoulders of 7.5m width on either side bringing the total runway width to 60m.
It is a non- instrument runway and is neither equipped with runway edge lights nor approach lights.

Runway end 12 has a displaced threshold of 600m.

End 30 has a turning pad.

The runway received a bitumen emulsion spray in 1996 to rejuvenate the asphalt and also seal the cracks thus not allowing water to penetrate to the bottom layers.

This was a temporary maintenance intervention with a shell life of 2 years.

However the pavement has continued to serve without a major renovation.
The runway is therefore long overdue for a major renovation.

The new interventions will extend the life of the pavement for 20 years.

• Multi-Storey Car Park: The existing car parking capacity at EIA is 721 parking slots including the long term car park.

All these slots are on the surface.

There is a limit to how much you can extend a surface car park.

Therefore a multi- storey car park with an initial capacity of 400 cars will be constructed.
Car parking is one of the major non-aeronautical revenue sources.

With this facility in place, non-aeronautical revenue will be stimulated and pressure on aeronautical revenue sources will be reduced.

• NAVAIDs: The NAVIADs, at EIA including DVOR/DME were installed in 1996 and are at their end-of-life reliable performance period.

Other NAVAIDs across the country including DME in Soroti and NDBs in Kasese and Kisoro are nearing obsolescence.
Manufacturers can no longer support the systems in terms of spares and technical assistance and must be replaced by better ones.

The current location of Kisoro beacon does not offer optimum performance.

A new site needs to be surveyed for its appropriate re-location.

Therefore the systems will be upgraded by installing new ones.

The main road netwoks runs from Mombasa Sea Port through Kenya and Uganda to Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic republic of Congo The importance of the Northern Corridor is increasing and the current combined transit and transshipment traffic through the corridor has been growing at a rate of 20 percent annually.
However, there are some obstacles in Northern Corridor, such as inadequate infrastructure, poor interconnectivity of modes, stagnations of cargo at the port and border post, and lack of goods to transport for the return trip from the inland area to Mombasa port.

They raise transport costs within the Corridor, which accounts for about 30 percent of the value of goods.

The high transport cost is one of the obstructive factors to promote economic development of the region, especially inland area.
The logistics market in the region has grown substantially in recent years, with the need for integrated services covering transport, storage and management of freight.
This trend is closely tied with the growth of containerisation, which has 384 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 02 Transport Services and Infrastructure created demand for intermodal facilities and multi-modal operators, to streamline freight movements and lower transportation costs for industry It is estimated that Northern Economic Corridor (NEC) carries 75% of the EAC trade volume and 25% through the central corridor (Corridor diagnostic study, 2011).
Commercial products are cultivated along the corridor and many industrial areas located near large cities (except cement and processed agricultural products).
In this context, the GOU requested GOJ to implement to implement a project to formulate a master plan on logistics in Northern Corridor in order to promote regional development Objectives: The aim of the project is to formulate a Master plan on Logistics for Northern Economic Corridor, along with integrated regional development strategy consistent with sub-regional development [plans and National development plans Link with the NDP: Increase efficiency and improve effectiveness in service delivery of transport infrastructure and provision of transport services Expected Outputs: Current situation and development issues analyzed and progress report prepared Development Potentials and bottlenecks identified.

It is, therefore, a duty and an imperative of Government to ensure that there is a well-developed national construction industry to implement physical infrastructure projects.

Cabinet approved a National Construction Industry (NCI) Policy in 2010 to complement other Government policies for public sector reform, privatisation, decentralisation and capacity building.

The new Policy aims at improving coordination, regulation and development of the construction industry.
Further, it aims to put in place an effective institutional framework to address the current weaknesses in the construction industry so that the private sector can efficiently and effectively participate and perform its crucial role in development and maintenance of the physical infrastructure.
398 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 03 Construction Standards and Quality Assurance The policy objectives and strategies are to be achieved through a number of action plans which are to be financed by government with support from development partners and other key stakeholders.
Objectives: The objective of the project is to operationalise the NCI in order to develop and strengthen the national construction industry Link with the NDP: Improvement in the Consruction industry Expected Outputs: A study to review and evaluate potential policies that may assist the development of the national construction industry carried out Appropriate training in procurement and contract administration for MDAs carried out; Uganda Construction Industry Commission to regulate the NCI established and operationalized The Professional regulatory bodies and associations provided with Government subventions.

Elgon Labour-Based Training Centre in Mbale strengthened and facilitated to conduct courses in labour-based technology; Materials research and testing centres facilitated and strengthened; and Sensitization of key stakeholders in the construction industry on integrating cross-cutting issues and concerns of the marginalised groups conducted.
Performance Indicators: Construction Levy managed by UCICO established Government Policies and Strategies reviewed Technical description of the project: The NCI, comprising both the building and civil engineering sectors, performs an indispensable role in the economy of Uganda and in the region as a whole.

It provides the physical infrastructure that is central to the country’s economic development.
Its activities create business to suppliers, manufacturers and offer employment to professionals, skilled and unskilled labour.

The industry delivers private and public plans for capital formation and renewals from paper to reality.

It is estimated that 50% of non-farm employment is directly or indirectly provided by the construction industry.

However, the NCI is generally fragmented and unsupported.
This phenomenon has increasingly encouraged the “informal sector” mentality approach to business in the industry with no long term view on work continuity on the part of local 399 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 03 Construction Standards and Quality Assurance contractors and consultants.
The benefits accruing from a strong national construction industry will include: a)Increased facilitation to local firms to access finance, construction equipment and regular work; b)Increased turnover by local contractors and consultants resulting into better value-for-money and more retention of profits in the country; c)Lower cost of works and increased savings on the part of employees accruing from increased local participation; d)Resulting job multiplier effect on the medium and long term economic performance; and e)Better quality and safe infrastructure in the country Achievements for FY 2015/16: N/A Plan of operation: The scope of the project will cover the following: a)Capacity building and supporting the public and private sector to review, evaluate and implement policies that assist in developing the NCI; b)Strengthening regulation of the construction industry by establishing and operationalising a Uganda Construction Industry Commission (UCICO), supporting Secretariats of regulatory bodies and strengthening contractors’ and consultants associations aimed at proving improved services; c)Facilitating contractors and consultants to access equipment, credit and work; d)Strengthening application of labour-based and new technologies to create employment opportunities and jobs; e)Facilitating research and development in the construction industry; and f)Supporting sustainable economic and social development by mainstreaming and addressing cross-cutting issues in the construction industry.

This arose due to dwindling resources and poor management in the Urban Authorities.

Since 1987, concerted efforts have been made to rehabilitate and repair some of the major roads and streets within Kampala City.

During phase I, which ended in 1989, 41km of bitumen roads were rehabilitated in Kampala financed by EU and KCC.

In 1991, the Japanese Government extended a grant of USD 2.4Million to the Government of Uganda in form of construction plant and equipment spares for rehabilitation of urban roads.
Consequently, the JICA II Urban Roads Resealing Project was constituted and charged with implementation of the rehabilitation of the dilapidated roads in the urban centres of Uganda.

The GOU through annual budget provisions of the Ministry have provided the operational funds.
Four Urban Councils are selected each Financial Year, one from each region of the country viz North, East, West, and 404 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 04 District, Urban and Community Access Roads Central.

Each benefiting urban council is required to counter fund the operations with at least Ushs 50 million from their local revenue.
To date the project has benefited 52 Urban Councils country wide with a cumulative bituminized surface road length of 158km.

The project has been operational (on force account) since 1992 with a total rehabilitated and bitumenised road length of 164km covered in 54 urban centers / towns in Uganda.

The project has capacity to double this output if provided with adequate operational financial resources now that it has received 55 new pieces of road equipment from the Chinese Exim Bank Grant to the GoU.
Objectives: i)To create a better working environment by reducing mud and dust in urban areas ii )To reduce vehicle operating costs and transport charges.

iii) To improve traffic movement and circulation within urban areas.
Iv) To attract the investment in the urban areas to boost the economy Link with the NDP: Improve the stock and quality of road infrastructure Expected Outputs: (i) Selected urban roads rehabilitated and paved (ii) Staff trained (iii) Traffic movement within urban areas eased (iv) Improved drainage within Town Councils whose roads have been rehabilitated.

Performance Indicators: • Number of Kilometres of urban roads rehabilitated, paved and maintained.
• Time saving in traffic movements in urban centres.

• Less flooding due to poor drainage.

Technical description of the project: This project is a follow-up of now-completed project TR-24(B).

It is wholly funded by the GoU but using equipment originally financed by JICA and currently funded from the Chinese Exim Bank Loan to the GoU.
The major project activities at its start comprised: • Procurement of road re-sealing equipment and tools • Procurement of materials for road rehabilitation work • Rehabilitation of the roads to bitumenised standards in accordance with the MoWT specifications on roads and bridges 2010.

• Training of various categories of personnel needed for rehabilitation and maintenance of the roads.

Achievements for FY 2015/16: Physical works in progress at NALI & Kapchorwa - 75% complete.
Procurement documentation for construction materials for Kabarole District access road and Kapchorwa T.C roads submitted to CC 405 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 04 District, Urban and Community Access Roads Plan of operation: Procurement of construction materials and other project inputs.
This is followed by the physical works constructions comprising of the following activities; gravel excavation, road formation and earthworks, lime stabilised base construction, surface priming, double bituminous surface dressing, drainage works i.e.

27 by the Hon.

Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, approved a proposal to borrow up to JPY 15.13BN(US$ 131.75M) from Japan Bank for International Cooperation(JBIC) to purchase earth moving equipment for all District Urban Authorities, Uganda National Roads Authority, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Works & Transport.

Ministry of Works & Transport is the executing Agency for the procurement of the equipment.
It will also be responsible for oversight of the deployment and utilization of the Road Construction Equipment once they have been procured.

Objectives: The overall objective of the project is “To promote safe and efficient transport system through equipping District Local/Urban Councils and gov’t agencies with modern machinery to ensure competitive road infrastructure and facilities” Link with the NDP: Increasing stock and improving quality of public physical infrastructure.
Expected Outputs: District and Urban Local Governments appropriately equipped to carry out routine mechanized road maintenance.

Urban Road Resealing Units (URRU) strengthened with new and modern machinery to operate under force account.

Local capacity to handle road maintenance/construction works improved.

Human resource trained and skilled to operate and maintain modern plant/machinery.
Performance Indicators: Increased stock of safe and quality road network in uganda Technical description of the project: The equipment under the DRRU is inadequate as it was only distributed to four out of the eight demarcated zones or centres in the country.

Also, the equipment deployed for the Urban Road Resealing Units, Zonal pools and to Local Governments does not make up complete road Units and therefore needs to be supplemented with a wheel loader, vibro roller and water bowser.
This shall enable local governments to effectively execute all the basic road maintenance activities.

Achievements for FY 2015/16: N/A Plan of operation: The equipment will be allocated to districts road units and a section of the equipment will be retained by the Ministry to undertake rehabilitation and resealing works within the force account units Planned activities for FY 2016/17: Purchase of assorted road equipment.

This is because in Uganda, FA was perceived to be a cheaper way of undertaking road maintenance work than contracting due to the fact that it minimizes costs since both staff and equipment are in-house.

Following the policy, in June 2012 Government of Uganda (GoU)acquired 1,425 pieces of new equipment through a USD100 million loan from China which was distributed to local governments for maintaining roads.

The FA policy is implemented under three interventions namely:- 1.
Routine maintenance – light road equipment is used by LGs and UCs for routine mechanized maintenance.

At the same time, they employ road gangs to carry out routine road maintenance activities.

2.

Periodic maintenance – heavy equipment is used to rehabilitate (re-gravel) the district roads.

3.

Rehabilitation and resealing – heavy equipment is used to construct and reseal the urban roads.

Rehabilitation involves restoring the road to its original condition.
The Ministry of Works and Transport is responsible for guiding and ensuring efficient administration and maintenance management of the road equipment.

This is currently done through the three Regional Mechanical Workshops at Bugembe (Jinja District), Mbarara (Mbarara District), and Gulu (Gulu District).
Objectives: The overall objective of the project is “To promote safe and efficient transport system through improving stock and availability ofroad equipment in District Local/Urban Councils and gov’t agencies to maintain theroad network in good condition” Link with the NDP: (b)Uganda National Development Plan (NDP) (2010/11 -2014/15) with the objective of increasing stock and improving quality of public physical infrastructure.
One of the strategic actions to realize this objective is by improving state of rural and community access roads from fair to good condition; Expected Outputs: i)District and Urban Local Governments appropriately equipped to carry out routine mechanized road maintenance.

ii)Equipment in Urban Road Resealing Units (URRU) repaired.

iii)Capacity of Regional Mechanical Workshops enhanced to carry out specialized equipment repairs.
iv)Enhanced National capacity to rapidly respond to emergencies.

v)Community access roads upgraded from fair to good condition.

vi)Roads leading to major tourism sites rehabilitated.

vii)Improved local capacity to handle road maintenance/construction works.
viii)Human resource that is trained and skilled to operate and maintain modern plant/machinery Performance Indicators: Technical description of the project: 420 Public Investment Plan Vote: 016 Ministry of Works and Transport Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 05 Mechanical Engineering Services Road transport in Uganda is by far the most dominant mode and plays an essential role in facilitating the realization of economic and social development programmes.
The strategic importance of developing and maintaining adequate stock of road network in good condition cannot be over-emphasized as over 95% of the country’s passenger and freight traffic is transported by road, and provides rural communities with access to administrative and social services; and is also an important link to economic centres.

Implementation of major infrastructure projects was delegated to Sector Agencies like Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Uganda Railways Corporation (URC).

The Ministry is therefore expected to formulate policies and provide leadership while at the sometime meeting government reporting requirements.
The restructuring process resulted into creation of new departments like Policy and Planning and a big number of new staffs who need re-orientation, retooling and specialized training to effectively perform their functions.

The status of ICT infrastructure is still wanting in many respects.

The Ministry lacks a well-functioning website, an intranet and most of its scattered offices are not centrally connected.
With regards to the planning function, the Ministry lacks an operational Data Management System to facilitate the process of decision making.

There have been some efforts and achievements towards the establishment of the Transport Sector Data Management System (TSDMS) but funding is still needed to ensure that the TSDMS is set up and functional.

The Ministry is also faced with coordination challenges given its size which need to be continuously addressed to ensure improved sector performance.
Objectives: i.

 To enhance Sector coordination, planning and ICT Infrastructure of the Ministry.

ii.

 To Set up and maintain a Transport Sector Information Management System.

iii.

To build capacity of staff in line with Ministry’s new mandate of policy formulation, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation.

Critical to the management of the national road infrastructure, is the management of the bridge stock of about 500 structures which represent a substantial asset value for the Authority.

This is mainly because Uganda is a water basin that is rich with lakes, rivers, streams and swamps.

The terrain in a large part of the country is hilly or mountainous requiring bridging.
On the national roads, a big proportion of the bridges were built over fifty years ago at the time of opening up and expansion of the road network.

Most of these road bridges exist as narrow single lane timber, concrete, composite or truss bridges.

They have limited capacities not exceeding 30 tonnes.

Over the years, the increasing level of traffic volumes and axle loads has been detected.
Inadequate maintenance and cumulative effects of environmental loads (floods, rust etc) have led to a significantly deteriorated bridge stock resulting into impaired durability.

Uganda National Roads Authority has embarked on an ambitious programme to upgrade and construct new bridges on the National roads.
The Government of Uganda signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 30th April 2013 with Ms Dawnus Construction Ltd to undertake and carry out a Feasibility Study, Preliminary Design and Environmental Impact Assessment at own cost as a downstream recovery item from loan proceeds, ensure that preparatory studies meet the standards of UNRA and ECGD and Liaise with ECGD on behalf of Government to facilitate loan approval process.
Ms Dawnus Construction Ltd completed the following tasks per the terms of the non-binding MoU; (i) Feasibility Study, Preliminary Design and Environmental Impact Assessment of 66 Bridges and Structures; (ii)Acceptable Prelimianary Designs layout and design reports that meets the standards of UNRA and ECGD; and (iii)Liaised with ECGD on behalf of Government to facilitate loan approval process.
UNRA contracted Ms AIC Progetti Consultants to undertake a parallel Feasibility study, Preliminary Design and Costing of 109 Bridges to compare and ascertain value for money.

The outcome from their study confirmed that the proposal submitted by Ms Dawnus Construction Ltd was reasonable and that there is value for money.

Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development in its letter dated 6th November 2013 vide correspondence No.
ALD 168/188/01 for extension of MoU and Cooperation between the Government of Uganda and Ms Dawnus Construction Ltd (UK), communicated that due to the ongoing constraint on non-concessional borrowing coupled with commitment to fund three projects in the energy sector, UNRA should programme and budget resources in the medium term to meet the costs of funding the works required under the 66 Bridges.
Objectives: structural assessment of all compromised bridges to assess their structural integrity by identifying areas of performance weaknesses occasioned by traffic and environmental loads and rate the structures according to their load carrying capacity.

Despite the above notable successes, URF is still faced with a number of challenges that include: High rental expenses of the URF Secretariat which are affected by the fluctuating UGX/US Dollar exchange rate.

This exerts pressure on the core planned activities of the Fund, which in turn affects its institutional capacity for effective service delivery.
Accordingly, this project is conceived to consolidate and strengthen the Uganda Road Fund corporate status and identity including intervening into the capacity constraints of agencies in such a way that ensures that road maintenance financing and operational environment conforms to the second generation status.

The project is envisaged to span a period of 5 years at a total cost of UGX 48.357 billion starting in FY 2016/17 and to be implemented by URF within the Works and Transport Sector budget.
Objectives: The objectives of the project is directly derived from some of URF’s strategic objectives contained in its 5-year Corporate Plan.
These include: i)To strengthen institutional capacity for better service delivery and sustainability; ii)To facilitate the efficient and effective mobilization and administration of funds for maintenance of public roads; iii)To ensure effective and timely preparation of road maintenance programmes; and iv)To ensure satisfactory accountability for road maintenance funds.
Link with the NDP: 503 Public Investment Plan Vote: 118 Road Fund Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 52 National and District Road Maintenance The project is linked to Objectives 1 and 2 under the Works and Transport sector in the National Development Plan II.
Specifically: Objective 1:To develop adequate, reliable, and efficient multi modal transport network in the country; and Objective 2: To improve the human resource and institutional capacity of the sector to efficiently execute the planned interventions.

Expected Outputs: i)35 URF Technical staff and Board Members trained in various fields; ii)1no.

Specifically, it aims at strengthening the capacity of URF for better service delivery and sustainability, enabling the efficient and effective mobilization and administration of road maintenance funds, ensuring effective and timely preparation of road maintenance programmes, and ensuring satisfactory accountability for road maintenance funds.
The following is a technical description of the key components of the project: a)Design and Construction of URF Head Office Building The URF Head Office building is planned to be jointly developed with the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) in a partnership developed on the principles of condominium ownership.
This is planned to be 504 Public Investment Plan Vote: 118 Road Fund Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 52 National and District Road Maintenance constructed on Plot 39, Nakasero road, Kampala which is currently owned by PPDA.

The 2 institutions signed a memorandum of understanding on 16.10.2013 and engaged a design consultant Ms Eco-Shelter on 28.01.2015 for the building project.
The design consultancy is currently underway and is expected to complete in March 2016. i)Memorandum of Understanding between PPDA and URF While URF had on several occasions considered possible options like to purchase vacant land and build, purchase a completed building, or using condominium arrangement, but with little success, PPDA on the other hand had vacant land measuring 0.6 acres on plot 39, Nakasero road, which they wished to develop but lacked financial resources.
The two institutions agreed to partner, with the approval of MFPED, in designing and building a new joint home at plot 39, Nakasero road, Kampala.

A memorandum of understanding between the two institutions was signed on 16th Oct 2013.

The Memorandum provided that PPDA would contribute the land as equity in the project, while URF would provide UGX 1.7 billion as initial equity in the project.
The parties further agreed to contribute additional funds as would be agreed during the course of the project, and to subsequently establish modalities of management and maintenance of the building.

The land was however later valued at UGX 3.0 billion and as such URF was required to match up their equity in the project.
Ii)Preliminary Cost Estimates of the Design, Supervision and Construction services The project is estimated to cost a total of USD 20.53 million (UGX 72.88 billion) with the design estimated to cost USD 0.18 million (UGX 654.3 million) – 0.9% of project cost; supervision is estimated to cost USD 0.78 million (UGX 2.77 billion) – 3.8% of project cost; administration estimated to cost USD 0.09 million (UGX 320.4 million) – 0.4%; and construction estimated to cost USD 19.48 million (UGX 69.14 billion) – 94.9% of the project cost.
The project is projected to span a period of 7 years, including 3 preparatory years starting FY 2014/15, 3 construction years starting FY 2016/17 and 1 year for defects liability ending in FY 2020/21.

The project will however be jointly funded by the two institutions through annual appropriations to their respect votes.
The total equity requirement of URF into the project is estimated at USD 10.68 million (UGX 37.912 billion), which matches up with that of PPDA estimated at USD 9.86 million (UGX 34.97 billion) considering that the land contributed by PPDA was valued at UGX 3.0 billion.
b)Technical Support Units for URF DUCAR Agencies Technical Support Units are planned to be established in selected designated agencies at local government level to establish capacity for performing their functions specified in Section 42 of the URF Act.

Specifically capacity enhancement is required in the fields of planning, reporting and actual delivery of road maintenance works.
The technical support is planned to be implemented using consultants deployed in selected designated agencies to backup specialized operations, man counterpart staff establishment, entrench documentation systems and practices and generally support and report on operations of DAs.

The TSUs are projected to run for an initial period of 5 years starting in FY 2016/17 to 2020/21.
c)Re-tooling and re-equipping URF It is planned that under the project, URF will be re-tooled and re-equipped with new furniture, ICT equipment, vehicles and other such assorted items in replacement of those items provided in FY 2009/10 or the early years of establishment of the Fund, which will be due for boarding off.

These mainly include 5 vehicles and ICT equipment.


It is planned that the re-tooling and re-equipping will be implemented in stages spanning a period of 5 years starting in FY 2016/17 to 2020/21.

d)Road User Charges Management Framework Section 21 of the URF Act provides for Road User Charges (RUCs) as sources of funding for URF.

Sources of RUCs include fuel levies, international transit fees, road license fees, axle load fines, bridge and road tolls, as well as weight distance charges.
In FY 2013/14, URF undertook a study that developed a RUCs Management Framework and Manual.

This framework is however yet to be operationalised.

It is planned that under this project, the RUCs framework will be operationalised with implementation of the residual activities including the development and implementation of automated/ integrated web based systems.

This is planned to be implemented over a period of 2 financial years starting in FY 2017/18 and ending in FY 2018/19.
505 Public Investment Plan Vote: 118 Road Fund Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 52 National and District Road Maintenance e)Operationalisation of District Road Committees Section 25 of the URF Act established District Road Committees (DRCs) in every district in Uganda.
The composition of the DRCs include the Chairman or Mayor of every local authority in the district; the Members of Parliament from the district; the Chief Administrative Officer; the district roads engineer; the secretary of works and the municipal works engineer.

As such, the composition of DRCs changes every 5 years in tandem with the national general elections calendar.

These changes affect functionality of DRCs, which in turn undermines effectiveness of the grass-root oversight function of DRCs.
It is therefore planned that under this project, URF will instigate establishment of DRCs in all districts, undertake induction of the DRC members to enable them effectively deliver on their mandate, and to launch/disseminate the DRC regulations.

This is planned to be implemented over a period of 2 financial years starting in FY 2017/18 to 2018/19.
f)Establishment of a Management Information System for URF It is planned that under the project, URF will design, develop and establish a Management Information System to consolidate, automate and integrate all the other sub-systems developed and in use by the Fund.

It is envisaged that this will increase efficiency and effectiveness of the Fund in undertaking their mandate in accordance with the URF Act.
It is planned that the MIS will be implemented over a period of 2 financial years starting in FY 2017/18 to 2018/19.
Achievements for FY 2015/16: Achievements for FY 2015/16 include: i)Completion of the design of the URF/PPDA Joint Head Office Building (Expected in June 2016); ii)Readiness assessment, scoping and description of Terms of Reference for TSUs in DUCAR designated agencies (expected by May 2016); and iii)Process mapping of the Management Information System (expected by June 2016) Plan of operation: The plans of operation for the different activities under the Project include: i)URF Head Office building will be implemented through consultancies for design and supervision as well as a building contractor for the construction works.
The project will be managed by a joint committee comprising URF staff, PPDA staff and a technical team from the Ministry of Works and Transport.

ii)Technical Support Units for DUCAR designated agencies will be implemented through consultants deployed in selected designated agencies to backup specialized operations, man counterpart staff establishment, entrench documentation systems and practices and generally support and report on operations of DAs.
iii)Management Information System will be implemented through consultancies iv)Operationalisation of DRCs will be implemented through regional workshops facilitated by URF staff and service providers for printing, hotel facilities and other related services.
Planned activities for FY 2016/17: Planned activities in FY 2016/17 include: i)Commencement of Construction of the URF/PPDA Joint Head Office Building ii)Establishment of regional TSUs in Local Government designated agencies iii)Procurement of motor vehicles, ICT equipment and office furniture Planned Outputs for FY 2016/17: i) 5% URF Head office block constructed and rendered occupational; ii)1no.
vehicles procured for URF Operations; iii)Assorted office furniture replaced; iv) Assorted ICT equipment replaced; v) 1no.

TSU established in 1 region 506 Public Investment Plan Vote: 118 Road Fund Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 52 National and District Road Maintenance Financing: The project is estimated to cost UGX 48.357 billion spread over a period of 5 financial years starting in FY 2016/17 to 2020/21 as indicated in Table 3 below.
The breakdown of the cash flow projection for URF and PPDA on the sub- project for construction of joint office premises is as shown in Table 4.

A total of UGX 10.92 billion will be allocated over the 5-year period from the regular road maintenance budget towards the project.

Therefore the project still has a funding gap of UGX 37.437 billion.

The first phase of the APL (First KIIDP - P078382) was approved by Board on November 6, 2007.

The Project Development Objective of Phase 1 (of the APL) was to improve the institutional efficiency of Kampala Capital City (KCC) through implementation of the Strategic Framework for Reform of the KCC.

KIIDP 1 closed on December 31, 2013.

KIIDP 1 having achieved all the development objective, it justified the incoming of KIIDP 2 programme.
Objectives: Enhanced infrastructure and institutional capacity of KCCA to improve urban mobility in Kampala”.

To “improve quality of roads infrastructure and associated investments in Kampala City for improved city mobility”.

To “enhance Institutional capacity of KCCA for infrastructure development and maintenance”.
Link with the NDP: The KIIDP 2 will contribute to the National Development Plan (NDP) 2010/11 – 2014/15 which has broadened the country’s development strategy from poverty reduction to structural transformation and has identified the urban sector as one of the complementary sectors for growth.
It will also assist in strengthening the capacity of the newly created KCCA by focusing on the three core Directorates of Engineering and Technical Services; Physical Planning; and Revenue collection which are directly relevant for the implementation of the project.

Other directorate will play a supportive role to project implementation.
The project will specifically contribute to the achievement of CAS strategic objective 2 – Enhanced public infrastructure, and outcome 2.4 - improved management and delivery of urban services.

The CAS (FY2011-2015) notes that the pace of Uganda’s structural transformation will depend on the efficiency of its spatial transformation.
The project contribution is consistent with CAS progress report which identified the following major constraints in Kampala city: limited access to key services; high level of traffic congestion; and low capacity at KCCA.

The CAS progress report has identified three major issues in the city: limited access to key services; high level of traffic congestions; and low capacity at KCCA.
The project will also support the Bank’s twin goals of reducing extreme poverty and fostering shared prosperity by ensuring that the sub-project designs are pro-poor.

The project will improve road conditions in a number of neighborhoods.

It will also improve a number of drainage systems which will have direct benefits to the poor who live in low lying areas which are prone to flooding.
Improvements in road designs by providing for walkways will increase accessibility and help urban dwellers in Kampala who walk to work.

As Kampala expands its spatial footprints, the limited reach of walking trips severely limits labor market opportunities for people who live further away from economic centers and may even exacerbate slum formation as many people will tradeoff housing quality to be close to jobs.
In the short term, it is important to enable the availability of a wide range of service levels/modes at different prices – and invest in sidewalks to reduce pedestrian fatalities in traffic accidents.

in the five KCCA divisions.

The long list of roads is based on roads with traffic volumes exceeding 300 vehicles per day.

The prioritization of roads and selection of the sub-projects will be based on economic criteria and technical viability, connectivity and ability to distribute traffic within the city with potential to reducing congestion within the central business district (CBD).
513 Public Investment Plan Vote: 122 Kampala Capital City Authority Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 06 Urban Road Network Development Component 1 will be implemented in two or three phases, starting with Phase 1 for which engineering designs were completed under the KIIDP1 and design reviews have been carried out to cater for the increased city needs.
- Phase 1 – This will include the following interventions: (i) roads upgrading to dual carriageway standard (4 roads with a total of 8.05 kms), (ii) road reconstruction (1 km), (iii) seven junctions improvement, and (iv) drainage improvements of Nalukolongo main drainage channel (8 kms).
- Phase 2 – This will include the design, construction and supervision of works for signalization of 20 selected junctions; construction of a traffic control center at City Hall, KCCA linking all signalized intersections; upgrading to a dual carriageway of 16 km of roads; reconstruction of 53 km of existing roads; and upgrading about 70 km of existing gravel roads.

The proposed batch 1 sub-projects, for which engineering designs were completed under KIIDP 1 will be reviewed.
- Phase 3 – This will involve carrying out designs for furture infrastructural improvements.

- Component 2 - Institutional and Systems Development Support (US$ 10 m) This component is intended to strengthen the capacity of KCCA as an autonomous corporate body to deliver on its statutory mandates.
The intended results to be achieved by this component are (i) improved KCCA capacity to implement sub-projects on time and within budget, (ii) at least 15 percent annual increase in own source revenue (OSR) from FY2012/13 base year, (iii) adequate budget and timely maintenance of existing infrastructure so as to prolong asset life time, and (iv) introduction of ICT through the use of SMS mobile phone platform for payments of bills and clients feedback.
The Component will therefore focus mainly on the Directorates of Engineering and Technical Services; Physical Planning; and Revenue Collection.

These Directorates are necessary for the implementation of Component 1 and their outputs are directly linked to the achievement of the project objective.

The activities to be supported under each of the Directorates 1.
Support to Directorate of Engineering and Technical Services (US$4.0m) – the implementation of Component 1 will be mainstreamed into this Directorate.

The project will address the current skills gaps in project management and build the institution capacity of the Directorate for effective project delivery.

The city currently has no comprehensive assets register and neither does it have an asset management policy and plan.
There is need to adequately establish the number, size/capacity and quality of all city assets so as to sustainably operate and maintain them so as to maximize their value.

Adequate management of assets like road reserves would also minimize the resettlement cost associated with infrastructure development.

The KCCA traffic and transport planning unit is to plan, design and operate the capital city transport system.
The unit shall be within the Directorate of Engineering and Technical Services of KCCA and will include (i) Traffic Management and Control team, (ii) Road Safety & Development Control Support team, and (iii) Transport Planning & Strategy team.

It is anticipated that in the next five years, with the planned infrastructure investments and transport policy review, the unit will be fully staffed and resourced to improve transport system within the city.

Support to Physical Planning Directorate (US$2.8m) - Under KIIDP 1 the GIS department in the Physical Planning Directorate was upgraded with hardware.

However the basic Arc View software requires upgrading to increase capability in order to address the current KCCA data needs.

Development of urban land use database from Plot, Village and Parish levels and linking it to urban services and revenue Department is therefore, an urgent need.
The ArcGIS address model can provide the requisite database for KCAA not only for development control but also to inform infrastructure investments on the ground and support the institution to increase local revenue mobilization.

In addition, the GIS is also expected to support the planned comprehensive city address system and cadaster information to update the valuation roles for property taxation.
In order to make the Physical Planning Directorate provide the necessary 514 Public Investment Plan Vote: 122 Kampala Capital City Authority Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 06 Urban Road Network Development support and services to the Directorate of Engineering and Technical Services and Revenue Directorate in terms of comprehensive city address system and cadaster information for OSR enhancement, the above activities need to be implemented, building on what was done under KIIDP 1.
Currently, the GIS Department in the Physical Planning Directorate is capable of working on basic GIS assignments but cannot work on complex GIS assignments given the limited access to requisite software.

Consultancy services for development of the Arc GIS Address Data Model will be procured to support the update of the GIS system, in order for the GIS department to be much more useful to KCCA and the general public.

Support to Revenue Directorate (US$3.2m) - Investment in infrastructure and its sustainable maintenance requires financial resources.

While resources for investment in infrastructure (roads, drainage, junctions etc.)

will be funded under Component 1, sustainable maintenance of this infrastructure should and can be financed using KCCA internally generated revenues.
This component will support Revenue Directorate to rationalize and streamline the current revenue management systems (revenue data base, assessment, billing, collection, enforcement, dispute resolutions, and tax payers’ education).

The current top five key sources of OSR for KCCA are trading licenses, property rates, taxi fees, outdoor advertising and street parking.
Property rates present the biggest potential source of internal revenue for financing maintenance oriented services like road maintenance, garbage collection and street lighting.

The emphasis and focus for enhancing revenue collections in the short term will be in improving the revenue management system of the top five KCCA revenue sources.

It is projected that these measures will result into a 15% annual OSR increase.
The project will also support KCCA to join the other service providers to start using the SMS mobile phone technology for payment of bills and providing customer feedback regarding the quality of services being provided by KCCA.

Achievements for FY 2015/16: This is a new project, there are no achievements to report on yet.

Plan of operation: The institutional arrangements for project implementation will be in line with the government’s structure.
At the central level, the MoFPED and the Office of the Auditor General will be responsible for ensuring that project resources are budgeted for and disbursed within the national medium term expenditure framework (MTEF), and that project accounts are audited on a timely basis.

The implementation of KIIDP 2 will be mainstreamed into the KCCA relevant directorates for ownership and avoidance of the creation of parallel structures.
The Management Executive Committee (MEC) – the apex technical body of KCCA – shall be responsible for the overall implementation guidance of the project.

Project implementation progress reports shall be tabled to MEC for consideration and overall guidance to the relevant Directorates.

The relevant Directorates shall be the owners of the project activities and shall be held accountable by MEC for the delivery of the outputs and agreed results under their respective Directorates.
KCCA will be responsible for the execution of all project activities.

Under KIIDP 1 KCCA received some support to its capacity building, and it took over the implementation of the KIIDP 1 as a mainstreamed activity.

It has demonstrated its capacity and ability to manage IDA funded project.

The Project Management Office under the Deputy Executive Director's Office will continue playing its role as the Project Secretariat.
The secretariat will be responsible for; amongst other (i) consolidating reports and coordinating KCCA with the World Bank and any other Development Partners, (ii) carrying out project M&E functions, (iii) developing and updating the procurement plan and (iv) coordinating the overall implementation of the project activities.
KCCA will be supported as necessary, by consultants who will be recruited and answerable to KCCA relevant technical 515 Public Investment Plan Vote: 122 Kampala Capital City Authority Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 04 06 Urban Road Network Development staff for delivery of the specific tasks they have been contracted for.
In addition KCCA will use young professionals to provide the necessary training to these cadres of staff while at the same time providing the necessary capacity support for project implementation.

Poverty levels have been progressively reduced from 56% of the people living below the poverty line (defined in terms of one US dollar a day) in 1992 to 31% in 2006/07.

However, the growth has not been equitable and poverty remains pronounced in rural areas and 68% of the households in Uganda are still engaged in subsistence farming using rudimentary technologies.
In Uganda, the level of industrialisation continues to be low; hence value addition has not reached the level to have an impact on post-harvest losses estimated at an unacceptably high percentage of 40%.

Value-addition is acknowledged as a key mechanism by which the majority of Ugandans can realize higher incomes from their activities; create employment; reduce poverty; and create national wealth.
It is only through value addition that produce can have extended shelf life through post harvest handling thereby improving farm level productivity.

Following the coming into force of the National Industrial Policy in February 2008, priority sub sector policies had to be formulated in order to realize its broader objectives.
The National Textile Policy has been formulated and approved by Cabinet with the view to enhancing the performance of the agro-based industries in the country, so as to increase value addition on locally available raw materials and export of manufactured goods.

The One Village One Product (OVOP) programme in Uganda is a proven strategy for value addition now implemented in over 5 African countries.
Government seeks to integrate the „One Village One Product‟ (OVOP) programme with its 537 Public Investment Plan Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 01 Industrial and Technological Development National Development strategies to eradicate poverty.

The OVOP concept has been designed as a community based approach through the utilization of local resources to boost and promote production, processing and marketing of products and services.
The success of OVOP as well as the above mentioned policies will greatly depend on increased/ improved agricultural production through the Programme for Modernization of Agriculture (PMA) and the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) programme.
Ultimately the OVOP programme will compliment the “Prosperity for All” programme which is aiming at transforming the peasantry and subsistence productive system to monetary and modern economy by spurring commercial agriculture and industrial production, also focused on value addition, for accelerated economic and social transformation.

OVOP programme also compliments the National Trade Policy, Trading out of Poverty, into Wealth and Prosperity.

.
.

Technical description of the project: This section describes various aspects of the program including sectoral linkages, through which the outputs below shall be delivered.

OVOP stands as a multi-sectoral unifying program.

It contributes to the development of a number of sectors as each one links into the programme directly.
Sectors engrossed include Industry, agriculture, services, energy, education, health and trade.

They are involved either as a result of the products of the programme or as service providers to the programme.

The following is a summation of the outputs expected; 1.

Increased production networks/clusters The programme connects the production to marketing and this component addresses the services required to get what is produced by the communities to the market.
Networks also include organizations that provide services to the programme financially or technically.

The programme will come into arrangement with NGO‟s, development partners, government agencies and national projects and programmes that will be relevant to the OVOP programme.

Services will include financial, skills development, marketing, consultancy, transportation etc.

Information and communication will be exchanged between agencies and service providers to secure their involvement.

2.
2.

Increased volume of local production Emphasis on the use of our locally available natural resources calls for a great degree of involvement of the agricultural sector.

Most of the raw materials are anticipated to come from the agricultural sector.

NAADS, Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE) are already actively involved.

They shall be providing technical assistance to OVOP and also aid the farm production mobilization strategies.

3.
3.

Increased number and volume as well as quality of locally processed products This calls for product development and quality improvement which shall be undertaken with the technical guidance from UIRI, UNBS and other private institutions.

Demonstration plants, processing units, research and other soft and hard infrastructures will be set up.

4.
4.

Reduced post harvest losses Industry linkages through field visits, processing technology demos, value addition workshops, and skills development amongst community members on preservation and processing levels will be established.

Emphasis will be put on processing and value addition involved within the programme.

Emphasis is laid upon adding value to the products as a means to reduce post harvest losses and increase returns from the local resources.
Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI) and UNBS are involved in this endeavor.

5.

Community human capital and entrepreneurial capacities developed It is salient because of the widening scope of operations, farmers will require certain degrees of skills development.
We shall work with the BTVET and we have already secured cooperation between MTAC for business skills training for the 539 Public Investment Plan Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 01 Industrial and Technological Development leadership and select group members.

UIRI and UNBS are critical for quality enhancement and will be involved, both as technical advisors and to enhance technical competitiveness.
UEPB will also be involved greatly in the identification of niche markets and training on marketing strategies.

Many of the products and services within OVOP are feeding into solving issues like hunger, nutrition health and creation of employment.

6.

Market for OVOP products created and/or strengthened through clusters As a function of the trade sector, marketing and effective business practices, transactional capabilities and markets development is emphasized.
After processing and value addition, unique products need to see their way to the markets; whether local, regional or international.

The Uganda Export promotion board will come in handy on this front; it is a key agent in this field.

The OVOP products shall be exhibited in regional and national trade shows and exhibitions annually.

7.
7.

Functional OVOP Secretariat and implementation networks established and facilitated A high degree of organization and coordination is greatly required for the success of the programme.

This section addresses implementers and coordinators at various levels of the programme implementation; including the secretariat, the district OVOP committees and the national steering committee.
The programme will also require establishing functional relations with various development partners and technical support organizations in various fields.

This requires a highly organized and facilitated Secretariat for the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the overall programme.

The Diagnostic Trade Integrated Study (DTIS) conducted by the World Bank in 2005/6 identified strengthening of DCOs as one of the essential priorities for improving institutional arrangements necessary for the effective delivery of commercial and related services at the grassroots level.
The National Trade Policy (NTP), whose speedy adoption was recommended by the DTIS report emphasises the need to restructure DCOs and improve the functional linkage between these offices and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives (MoTIC), exploit complementarities and synergies with other Government Agencies, Local Governments and Private Sector Associations.
Both the Ministry‟s Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) (2009/10 – 2014/15) and the National Trade Sector Development Plan (NTSDP), (2008/9 – 2012/13) which are the implementation frameworks for the sector policies and the NTP respectively, have prioritised addressing the weaknesses of, and challenges facing DCOs.
Both strategies highlight the need to have these mitigated, including how their structure and linkage to MoTIC can be strengthened and made more efficient to become the vehicle for the delivery of commercial services in general and trade policy in particular at the domestic level.
The National Development Plan which replaced the Poverty Eradication Action Plan as Uganda‟s main economic development strategy document also highlights the need to strengthen DCOs in order for MoTIC to be more effective in delivering on its mandate.
A study conducted under the first Trade Capacity Enhancement Programme (TRACE) revealed the extent of the capacity challenges facing District Commercial Offices including lack of staffing and of equipment and their (DCOs‟) tenuous relationship with the Ministry at the centre.

These challenges are elaborated upon in Section II.3 of the Project document.

The study further recommended that GoU design a project that would address the immediate capacity development needs of all DCOs.
548 Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 04 Trade Development Public Investment Plan The study report was widely circulated to all district administration units, the Ministry of Public Service, that of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and that of Local Government.

In addition, copies of the report were sent to resident donor agencies including the Donor Facilitator and to selected private sector associations.
MoTIC also indicated to these parties that it was looking to design and seek funding for a comprehensive project proposal to address these challenges as recommended by the study report.

Therefore, all the policy documents, strategies and studies emphasise the chronic nature of many of the challenges facing the District Commercial Offices and the need to deal decisively with those challenges.

A project was developed to root out these challenges in the Trade sector.
The District Commercial Services Support Project (DICOSS) is a capacity building and training project to assist the Government of the Republic of Uganda deliver commercial services to the grassroots more effectively and efficiently.

The project focuses on the trade, tourism, industry and cooperatives sector and the ability of both the GoU and the Local Governments‟ to deliver commercial services at grassroots level.
In Uganda‟s decentralised administrative arrangement, the DCO is central in the delivery of commercial and business services at that level.

The DCO‟s capacity in that respect is to be enhanced through redefining their functions, equipping them, building skills in them and facilitating and improving the links of the DCOs with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, other Government Agencies, Lower Local Governments and with the public they are meant to serve with particular focus on SMEs.

.
.

Objectives: The overall goal of this project is to contribute to increasing the incomes of SME entrepreneurs, of their employees and of people generally in the target districts.

The objective is to enhance the capacity of targeted DCOs to deliver commercial and business services more efficiently so as to improve MoTIC‟s effectiveness in fulfilling its mandate at grassroots level.
The specific objectives are: 1) To equip and retool targeted DCOs; 2) To facilitate DCOs deliver commercial and business services in their districts; 3) To facilitate the building of networks between DCOs and other stakeholders.

.

Link with the NDP: Related NDP Strategic Objectives: • Improve the doing business environment.
• Nurture the private sector with a view to improve its competitiveness in the domestic, regional and other international markets • Promote Trade Development • Promote policy synergies between the production and trade sectors • Promote good governance of the co-operative movement • Enhance the capacity of the co-operatives to compete in domestic, regional and international markets • Promote the use of standards and quality infrastructure to improve the competitiveness and safety of Ugandan products, processes and service delivery systems in domestic, regional and international .
549 Public Investment Plan Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 04 Trade Development Expected Outputs: The key results of the project for the three-year period are: 1) Targeted DCOs equipped and retooled: targeted DCOs will receive 2 motorcycles each to ease movement within the district.

In addition, office space will be refurbished and basic office equipment will be procured.
The DCO personnel will be provided with training that is relevant to delivering the MTI mandate in their respective districts.

A consultant or consultants will be hired to assess the precise needs and design the training programme and recommend the most efficient delivery mechanisms for the training.
2) DCOs facilitated to deliver commercial and business services: DCOs will be provided with support to meet some aspects of their recurrent expenditures and to prepare and implement work plans in their districts.

Each DCO will have to prepare a credible and implementable work plan which the project will fund and whose implementation it will monitor.

Each annual work plan will be funded to a maximum of $10,000.

All work plans will be designed with the mandate of MTI in view.
MTI will vet all DCO work plans to ensure this before approval is granted and funding released.

In particular work plans will demonstrate how dialogue with the private sector (especially SMEs) will be carried out and enhanced.

In addition, as information gathering and dissemination is a key function of the DCO, the project will facilitate the establishment of an information centre at each DCO.
The centres will have two computer terminals, and internet connection using the most cost-effective technologies.

MTI will also be facilitated to carry out regular inspections of the participating DCOs.

3)Building of networks between DCOs and other stakeholders facilitated: two types of interaction will be facilitated under this activity.
First quarterly meetings of participating DCOs will be facilitated so that they can learn from one another and influence future operations under the project and thereafter.

The internet facility to be provided by the information centre will further augment this network among DCOs.

Then on a half yearly basis, participating DCOs will be facilitated to hold meetings with MTI and other key stakeholders.
This will serve to strengthen the link between MTI and the DCO as well as expose DCOs to the wider business community who they collectively serve.

(DCOs as part of their own work plans will be expected to conduct meetings in the district with local stakeholders.

These may include inter alia: meetings with colleagues in complementary disciplines, departments etc., and meetings with district chambers of commerce and other business associations based in the district).

It is the empowered public entity for dealing with matters of domestic and foreign trade policy.

MTI is headed at the technical level by the Permanent Secretary who is its overall technical head and accounting officer.

The ministry is organised into two Directorates (each headed by a Director) with a number of departments under each Directorate.
The Directorate of Trade, Industry, Technology and Cooperatives is one such and incorporates among others, the departments responsible for internal and external trade respectively.

Each of these departments is headed by a Commissioner supervising a number of staff versed in various disciplines including economics, statistics, law, commerce and business administration.
The Ministry also has support structures responsible for administrative, personnel, finance, audit and procurement functions all under the supervision of the Permanent Secretary.
The project will therefore be implemented within this overall existing institutional arrangement of the Ministry but will have a parallel filing/documentation system and its finances will be kept and accounted for separately and in accordance with both the prevailing GoU requirements and as will be agreed upon with the Trust Fund Manager.

Moreover, The IF already has local governance structures in place which will also play a part in the oversight of the project.
These include the National Steering Committee (NSC) that is co chaired by the Permanent Secretary/Secretary to the Treasury in the Ministry of Finance; and the Permanent Secretary, MTI and below that are the Management Committee and the National Implementation Unit.

Both the National Focal Point and the Donor Facilitator are members of these three structures.
At district level the project will be implemented by the District Commercial Officer (DCO) under the supervision of the District Chief Administrative Officer (DCAO).

The DCAO is the administrative head in the district who reports to the GoU through the Ministry of Local Government.

Although the DCO ordinarily reports to the DCAO, the requirements of this project which is nationally implemented by MTI will impose an additional burden on the district administration.
Achievements for FY 2015/16: • 25 District Commercial Offices (DCO) were refurbished, equipped and retooled.

• 53 LG Officials from the DCO of the 25 DICOSS beneficiary districts were trained in skills and techniques to improve their delivery of Commercial Extension Services for 3 weeks.

• Funds to facilitate the effective delivery of commercial extension services were disbursed to 25 Local Governments.
• Networking Conferences for Local Government Officials in the production and Marketing sectors were organized and successfully held.

• The establishment and operationalization of trade information centers in 25 districts was facilitated.

551 Public Investment Plan Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 04 Trade Development Plan of operation: The IF Focal Point who also manages the Second Trade Capacity Enhancement Project (TRACE II) in the Department of Internal Trade of MTI will be the overall supervisor reporting to the Permanent Secretary, the Management Committee (see below) and the National Steering Committee on matters of DICOSS.
TRACE II supports the building of capacity in the National IF Secretariat so that it is better equipped to: (i) coordinate the process of trade mainstreaming into the national planning process among the different institutions and sectors, (ii) oversee the development of a programme of Tier 2 projects in response to the DTIS Action Matrix; and (iii) coordinate the development of trade and trade related projects and monitor the implementation of Aid for Trade programme in the country.
TRACE II seeks to address known and emerging constraints in the trade sector, including inconsistent and uncompetitive production capacities necessary to support sustainable export expansion.

The IF FP/TRACE Manager is assisted by an Advisor, who provides counsel on technical issues relating to the EIF and TRACE.

There is a Programme Officer working with the Technical Advisor to provide the needed support and a Programme Assistant who deals with administrative issues on a day to day basis.
A project management committee will be established under the chairmanship of PS/MTI.

This committee will have representation from the private sector, the donor facilitator, MTI and the Ministry of Local Government.

The committee will oversee the operations of the project and give it policy guidance.

The project will be managed by the Project Manager assisted by two technical project officers one for monitoring and evaluation and the other dedicated to the capacity building aspects of DICOSS.
Also a Project Accountant who will be responsible exclusively for this project finances will be recruited and will be assisted by the TRACE II Programme Assistant.

The Project Officers and the Accountant will be responsible to the Project Manager for the relevant technical aspects of the project, and for the administrative and financial aspects respectively.
In addition, as a capacity building feature, MTI will assign an officer or officers to work with the project team on technical issues and who will continue to perform these functions post DICOSS.

For the smooth administration especially of the financial aspects of DICOSS at the district level, the good offices of the respective District Chief Administrative Officers (DCAO) will be enlisted.
For the various Non-DICOSS personnel (including the DCAO) that will play a major part in the implementation of the project, a small allowance has been provided by way of motivation.

Because of the country wide coverage of the project and to facilitate monitoring of the activities in the various districts, the project will acquire one four wheel motor vehicle and a driver will be recruited to service the management and technical team.
Given the resource constraints and the growing number of districts in the country, and in order to avoid the challenges arising out of political considerations, the project is to be implemented in 25 districts selected on a regional basis.

Uganda at the moment is made up of over 110 districts.

Under the decentralised arrangement, each of these districts should have in place a DCO headed at the level of a Principal Commercial Officer, and supported by up to two other officers.
Given that some of these districts have only recently been created, not all districts have all these in place.

However, the expectation is that all districts will in time create District Commercial Offices which will be adequately staffed.

Under these arrangements, Uganda has among others committed to measures that facilitate transit trade, while promoting domestic trade through removal of NTBs.

These commitments are cited under article 4 and 49 of COMESA treaty, article 79 of the EAC treaty and Article 13 of the EAC Customs Union Protocol.

Under the above commitments Uganda must enhance her compliance with the various protocols entered into with one of the most significant being the East African Community Common Market Protocol.
Free movement of goods in the partner states is covered under Article 6 of the Protocol, and Article 39 on establishment of the East African Community Customs Union.

Implementation of the Protocol has the objective of, and requires elimination of all Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) to trade in the region.

In pursuance of this objective the EAC Secretariat developed a time bound programme for elimination of NTBs.
Uganda is both a landlocked and land linked country making it both susceptible and vulnerable to existence of NTBs, in addition to denying the country benefits that would arise from expeditious movement of transit goods to Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.
Among the highest impact NTBs in Uganda are transit interruptions resulting from Police Road blocks for traffic and security operation, Weigh Bridges along major transit routes, customs clearance procedures and quality inspection.
An NTB monitoring mechanism was established in the Ministry of Trade Industry and Cooperatives with the mandate of coordinating the monitoring and resolution of NTBs, which has over the years been constrained due to the complexity of the problem and lack of accurate, timely and up-to- date reporting framework.

The NTB monitoring, reporting and removal activities will be focused on six areas namely: 1.

Information, education and Communication 2.


Sustainability and effective utilization of the Information Exchange Facility 3.

Capacity development for implementation of alternative revenue sourcing for trade corridor districts 4.

Policy and Legal Reform 5.

Border Post Infrastructure Development 6.

Participation in EAC, COMESA, SADC NTB .
554 Public Investment Plan Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 04 Trade Development Objectives: Specifically, NTB Removal is concerned with: 1) Enhancing awareness, knowledge and influencing attitudes of the private and public sector stakeholders about the NTB elimination mechanism and processes 2) Ensuring efficient utilization of the online NTB Information Exchange Facility by reporting occurrence of NTBs and tracking removal decision and actions.
This will involve installation of satellite regional Information Exchange Facilities to facilitate site specific resolution.

3) Conducting research in alternative revenue sources for DLGs and training DLG officers, political leaders, and local government support programme officers in design and implementation of alternative revenue generation options to reduce the incentive for them to levy fees and enforce compliance through road block on major trade corridor routes.
4) Reforming policy and legal instruments and regimes to align them with Uganda‟s commitment under the different regional integration protocols.

5) Support District Local Governments to develop robust infrastructure around gazetted customs areas to enhance their respective revenue generation options and revamp the Uganda‟s border entry points with modern trade promotion facilities.
6) Improve and sustain effectiveness of the NMC and enhance the participation of MTIC officials in various NTB regional forums for resolution and evolution of regional policy and regulatory instruments for NTB removal.

.
.

Link with the NDP: The NDP identifies constraints to performance of the trade sector (see 6.8.2) among which are existence of NTBs in both regional and international markets, inadequate data and information about sector constraints informed planning, policy formulation and investment decisions.
To address these constraints the NDP objective 1 (see 6.8.3) advances improvement of the “doing business environment” and proposes strategies that include strengthening policy, legal and regulatory frameworks and trade negotiating teams.

The MTIC under the NRSE – NTB addresses the need for data and information for planning, policy formulation and implementation for removal of NTBs.
Through the NMC and regional forums, the NRSE-NTB also contributes to strengthening the negotiating team for removal of NTBs within the regional market which is emerging as a favoured destination for Uganda.

An improved trade and transit trade environment will lead to higher business volume out turn and exports contributing directly to reduction in poverty and increased tax revenue.

.

Expected Outputs: Annually, the Unit is expected to produce the following outputs.

• One IEC Annual Report.


• 4 quarterly Information Exchange Facility NTB Resolution Reports.

• One Study Report recommending alternative revenue sources for DLGs along major corridor routes • 60 officials from DLGs trained in alternative revenue options design and implementation.

• 4 NTB Monitoring Reports prepared • Three research studies to address strategic options for trade policy adjustments • Four quarterly NMC reports and one Annual NTB EAC Regional Monitoring report .

Technical description of the project: As envisaged by EAC Protocol, the key mechanism for monitoring and coordination of NTB elimination are the National Monitoring Committees on NTBs (NMCs).

The NMCs are established in all five EAC countries with members from the business community and the key government institutions.

The NMC on NTBs in Uganda has 19 institutional members, 8 from the key business community organizations and associations and 11 from the government institutions.
The strategic framework for operations of the NMCs is defined by the EAC Time Bound Programme for Removal of NTBs The process of reporting NTBs is established through the responsible national ministries and private sector focal points that forward the complaints from the private sector operators to the NMCs.

The NMC meets on a quarterly basis to discuss the complaints, propose solutions and identify institutions that should take specific corrective actions.
In case of the NTBs that are cross border in nature, the NMC is supposed to begin the bilateral discussions with counterpart NMCs from EAC Partner States.

The NMCs in Partner States are then bound to initiate their respective national NTB elimination process.

However, the functioning of this mechanism has not been highly effective for removal of NTBs.

Over the last few years some progress has been made in these areas but not enough to produce a significant effect.
The Time Bound Programme that lists NTBs in the region is not recording much progress, particularly on the key NTBs affecting landlocked countries such as key NTBs along the major trade corridors, harmonization of customs procedures and export/import documents, certification and standards, etc.
There are several critical areas that Uganda and other EAC countries need to attend to in order to be able to address the issue of NTB's removal more strategically: • First, the NMC that coordinates the NTB's elimination process must strengthen its organization capacity and increase political leverage so that it becomes recognized as a competent and relevant structure.
• Second, the national institution and its key counterparts must have appropriate technical capacity to analyse and address the characteristics of NTBs.

• Third, the functioning of the national and regional institutions in the regional mechanism for elimination of NTBs must be clearly defined.

In this context, the relevant institutions and committees should be activated.
• Operations and results of the NMC operation must be more transparent and involve a large number of national and regional stakeholders.

In order to increase the capacity to address the priority NTBs and better influence the process of implementation of EAC Custom Union, Uganda NMC designed a National Strategy for Eliminating NTBs (NRSE – NTB) which is currently under implementation by MTIC with support from Trademark East Africa.
This support is delivered through a project, NRSE-NTB, which ends in the year 2014 and will require additional funding for sustainability.

Expected Outcomes: ================== The out puts of NRSE – NTB will inform the other organs of Government, especially those within the Trade and Trade Facilitation sector on the economic and government revenue benefits of trade facilitation.

The outcome of monitoring and removal of NTBs is relatively well defined under previous studies by World Bank, COMESA and EAC and should be easily linked to the outputs when achieved.

These reforms call for significant capacity building in areas of policy/capacity building in management of Public Resources and provision of basic tools of operation to enhance efficiency and effectiveness as well as a conducive and motivating working environment.

The Ministry has prepared various Policies including: Trade Policy, Industrial Policy, Cooperatives Policy, Grain Trade Policy, MSMEs Policy, Sugar Policy, Textile Policy and Competition and Consumer Protection Policy among others.
Several other Bills and Strategies have been developed and passed in the same policy direction to ensure implementation.

Nonetheless, implementation and sensitization of targeted stakeholders on key initiatives and policy actions agreed is weak.

It is therefore difficult for them to contribute to the attainment of the various Policy Goals and Objectives without significant, streamlined and consistent engagement.
The business community is also to a great extent unaware of key policy developments within the Sector, as well as new market opportunities secured through various trade instruments developed by the Ministry.

Follow up supervision and monitoring of key Sector Programmes and Interventions is weak.

To crown this all up, the Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Sector Working Group remains weak, ineffective and barely operational because there is no facilitation for its functions.
Monitoring and evaluation of Sector programmes, policies and strategies also is a significant challenge to the Ministry.

This is as a result of the gaps in the Budgeting, Financial Management and Performance Assessment Systems within the Sector evidenced by the poor performance reports prepared and failure by certain institutions to effectively implement their work plans or absorb their budgets.
This is also a result of weak coordination of Stakeholders contributing to the Sector‟s mandate as they are scattered across many other sectors outside the Ministry‟s direct supervision.
The Ministry is also grappling with certain physical infrastructural inadequacies both within its premises and nationwide 560 Public Investment Plan Vote: 015 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 49 Policy, Planning and Support Services to allow for clear and effective coordination of Sector programmes and service delivery.

It is in fact the tallest horst mountain, standing at 5109 meters above sea level (Magharita peak).

Other Rwenzori ranges with peaks of great significance include; Speke (4890m), Baker (4843m), Gess (4715m), Emin (4797m), Luigi de Savio (4627m) and Alexandria (5,083m).

These mountain ranges are unique for they are not volcanic but do rise directly from the rift valley floor.
In this landscape, there are five vegetation zones: Grass land zone (1000-200m), Montane Forest zone (2000 -3000m), Bamboo/Mimulopsis zone (2500-3500m), Heath / Repanea zone (3000-4000m) and Afro- Alpane Moorland Zone (4000- 4500m).

From 4500 to 5109m above sea level is the glacier/ snow zone.
The park’s tourism resources include: diverse vegetation (over 994 recorded plant species); diverse fauna (flagship being African elephants, Chimpanzees, Red fronted duikers, Rock hyrax, Rwenzori Leopard, Tree squirrels, over 217 recorded bird species- 17 of which are endemic to the park.
The fauna and flora richness, scenic beauty, Glacier lakes, rivers and waterfalls, diverse rock types and snow-capped peaks give the park a unique geographical, heritage and biodiversity importance which enabled its declaration into a World Heritage Site (WHS) and an Important Bird Area (IBA) In 2011, The National Geographic Society identified Mount Rwenzori as one of the World’s 15 best hikes in the World.
Rwenzori Mountains (Mountains of the Moon) is a global biodiversity hotspot, providing key ecosystem services- carbon storage, forest resources and water supply.

The community around this eco system depend on it for livelihood through practicing subsistence agriculture and employment with various agencies or bodies that work to conserve or promote tourism to the mountain.

The majority are employed as guides and cooks.


565 Vote: 022 Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 03 Tourism, Wildlife conservation and Museums Public Investment Plan The key activities in RMNP is mountaineering.
Currently there are three major trail namely; central circuit (50km-7- 9days),Kilembe trail (40km) and recently Mahoma Trail (24 km).These are being operated by the local community, private concessionaire and Uganda Wildlife Authority, respectively.

WWF has worked with UWA to rehabilitate trails and bridges, created signage, provided camping equipment, and trained courses on customer care and mountaineering.
WWF has also facilitated the construction of the visitor gate and staff accommodation at the park entrance of Mt Rwenzori National Park.

The Ministry of Tourism Wildlife and Antiquities has also in the past supported the rehabilitation of bridges across river Mubuku, river Kyohoand river Mahoma, construction of concrete steps as one descends river Mubuku.

Inspite of the beauty and uniqueness of the mountains, the number of visitors to this park has stagnated around 2,000.
This is due to inadequacies in tourism infrastructure such as slippery trails, worn out bridges, inadequate accommodation facilities, lack of safety facilities, poor sanitary facilities, poor state of the road from the tarmacof Kasese- Fortportal road to the UWA gate (19km) and limited targeted marketing and promotion.Currently, many tour operators do not include this attraction on their itinerary due to the challenges mentioned above.
Whereas the number of visitors to the park has increased from 435 in 2003 to 2,723 in 2013, the visitors to its comparable mountains of Kilimajarohave increased from 28,000 in 2003 to 52,000 in 2012.

In short, Mt Rwenzori received only 5% of the visitors received by Mt Kilimajaro in 2013.

Indeed the Tourism Assessment report 2011 by World Bank highlights the poor state of infrastructure to and at the tourism facilities as one of the principle constraints affecting the growth of tourism.
According to NDP II, Uganda has a substantial infrastructure which severely impacts on its competitiveness.

The current state of infrastructure does not cater for the tourists who may want to experience the beauty of the park in one day.

These could be tourists tapped after visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park (69,000 in 2013).

Combining the beauty of the park, the enormous wildlife species and improved the tourism infrastructure the number of visitors the park could rise to 10,143by 2020.
With an average expenditure of 900dollars per person the park the park revenue will increase from USD 2 millionin 2013 to USD10 million in 2020.
Therefore,there is need to broaden the product base and tourism experience by improving the existing trails and establishing shorter ones, improving the existing bridges taking into consideration of the flush floods, providing more ecofriendly accommodation facilities, improving safety of tourists by establishing rest points along the trails, establishing a cable car from the foot of the mountain to its peak, improving road infrastructure from Kasese-Fortportal road to the gate of the park (19km) and extending electricity to the park.
Objectives: To Increase the number of visitors to the Park- by 150% by 2020 Link with the NDP: Contributes to the expansion of Tourism Infrastructure Expected Outputs: Improved trails on Mt Rwenzori; 566 Public Investment Plan Vote: 022 Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 03 Tourism, Wildlife conservation and Museums Affordable climbing gear; Increased number of accommodation facilities along the trail; A Cable Car system from park gate to Nyabitaba; Rescue and safety equipment; a rescue helicopter, helipads ; A reliable communication system; boosted communication network; A monument at the Margareta Peak; Performance Indicators: 3 trails developed; 10 bridges rehabilitated; 7 resting points improved and 10 viewing points redeveloped; One Visitor information centre developed; 2 walking boards repaired ; Climbing equipment acquired; 10 bandas constructed, Nyabitaba, Nyamileju, John Mate, Bijuku, Elena, Kitandara, Guy Yeone; One cable car system installed from the Gate park to Nyabitaba to John mate and Bijuku; Assessment report of rescue equipment produced ; A rescue helicopter based at Kasese air field; One helipad constructed at John Mate ; 20 radio calls, 20 satellite phones and at 10 internet service hubs acquired and fixed; A monument at the Margareta Peak; Technical description of the project: An improved tourism infrastructure will strengthen the competiveness of the destination Uganda,because currently this destination commands only 2700 leisure despite being affinity attraction.
It will also boost the number of tourists to the Mt Rwenzori National Park by 400%, increase the annual foreign exchange inflow by USD 2 million, and catalyze the incomes of the communities living around park.
Once the number of tourist increase, this will automatically increase incomes of the park, lead to improved revenue sharing with the communities by USD 0.4 million and provide an opportunity for the communities to sell their food crops and other enterprises to the park hence improving the livelihood of the neighboring communities.

It will also stimulate other private enterprises in the value chain like tour operators, restaurants, craft and survivors and massage parlors.
The project is in line with NDP theme of “Strengthening Uganda’s competiveness for sustainable wealth creation, employment and inclusive growth”.

It is on this basis that this project was developed.

The success of this project is dependent on a number of factors including provision of reliable energy for running especially the cable car system, improving the accessibility to the park (tarmacking the 19km road from Mubuku, Kasese to the gate of the park) and security being stable in the region.
Below is a brief description of the project components; Component One: Trails, Bridges, rest points and accommodation facilities, helipads and information centresand a monument at the Margareta Peak Aim:To improve visitor experience.
Scope of the works:The project will entail improving the existing trails (2 in number) and establishing a new shorter one 567 Public Investment Plan Vote: 022 Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 03 Tourism, Wildlife conservation and Museums on the side of Mahoma.

The exercise involveundertaking an assessment of the existing trails and exploring the mechanisms of setting up a new trail.
The assessment shall be carried out a team of persons drawn from UWA, tour operators, architect, environment experts who shall produce a report showing the current state of trails and the bridges along the trails, accommodation facilities, information centresand resting points.

The resting points will incorporate good water and sanitation facilities.
The report is expected to show proposed areas of improvement as well as designs and BOQs of the improved trails, bridges, bandas and resting points and information centres.

The bandas(budget accommodation) will be constructed by Uganda Wildlife Authority.

The report will also show areas where the private sector can set up other or additional modes of accommodation.

The team will also produce an environment impact assessment report based on the proposed designs of the trail.
This will be followed by adverting and procuring services of construction.

The exercise of carrying out the assessment will take 6 months and procurement process of the construction services will also take 6 month.

The actual construction of the trails, bridges, resting points and viewing points, accommodation facilities and information centers will commence in the second year of the project.

UWA will advertise for concessions in areas of accommodation and other enjoyment facilities.
Component two: Cable car system Aim: To improve the experience of the visitor, provide an alternative access to peak of the mountains andincrease revenue for the park.

Scope of the work: Establishing a cable car system is a complex area that needs carefully planning and therefore the project will call for an international consultancy to make designs and BOQs to establishing the cable car system.
The process of procuring the consultancy and producing the designs and BOQs will be done in the first year of the project.

This shall be followed by carrying out an economic analysis to assess the economic viability of the project in the second year.

Due to the fragile ecosystems in the park,an environmental and social impact assessment study shall be carried out in the second year.

The consultancy to develop the EIAs will be done by a local consultancy firm.
Armed with management plans, designs & BOQs and EIAs, the next stage will be to secure an investor to construct and operate the cable car system based on the management plan.

The construction of the cable car system will begin in the fourth year.

The procurement process and signing of the contact will take another one year before the construction begins.

Component three: A reliable communication system, rescue equipment, climbing gear and a monument at the Margareta peak.
Aim: To improve communicationwhile in the park, improve rescue equipment Scope of the work: This will necessitate the project to acquire a communication system consisting radio calls, satellite phones and internet service hubs.

In case of any accidents, this component will procure a standby rescue helicopter based at Kasese Air field and putting up one helipad at John in the first phase of the project.
In terms of climbing gear, UWA and the private sector will be facilitated to acquire modern climbing gear.

The project will support the construction of a monument at the Margareta Peak to replace the rusty metallic board.

Culture and creative industries are increasingly being used to promote destinations and enhance their competitiveness and attractiveness.

Many locations are now actively developing their tangible and intangible cultural assets as a means of developing comparative advantages in an increasingly competitive tourism marketplace, and to create local distinctiveness in the face of globalization.
It is a mandate of the Museums and Monuments Department under the Ministry of Tourism Wildlife and Antiquities to preserve and sustainably develop Uganda’s Museums and Monuments or Heritage sites for the benefit of the people of Uganda and future generations.Uganda was the first to develop Museums and Monuments or cultural heritage sites in East Africa.

Currently, Uganda has the lowest number of museums and heritage sites developed compared to Kenya and Tanzania.
Kenya has 8 regional museums and Tanzania has 10 regional museums, 8 cultural heritage sites listed on the World Heritage List whereas Uganda has only one developed National Museum and two regional museums which are not even developed to international standards.

The only cultural site listed on the UNESCO World Heritage, the Kasubi Royal Tombs is also in danger because of the fire that gutted it down in March 2010.
The six rock art heritage sites which have been developed in last four years, only management plans and a dossier were completed and submitted for listing in the 2015 UNESCO session.

Even though some of these sites have started receiving visitors, none of them has visitor facilities such as toilets, interpretation centers and canteens.
The Department of Museums and Monuments from 2010 through the Finance Project Support to Museums and Monuments developed two regional museums; Kabale regional museum and Karamoja Sub regional museum.

Other regional museums such as Soroti, BoQs and Designs were made, and construction works are yet to start.

Designs and BoQs were also developed for Fort portal cultural heritage trail centre and a transport gallery at the Uganda National Museum.
One should note that, since 1954, exhibits at the Uganda National Museums have not been changed.

This creates boredom to cultural visitors and therefore cannot return for 3 times as there is not enough rooms for temporary exhibitions.

On the side of heritage sites, research on 17 Rock Art sites completed in 2012 provided informationwhich has been used in the tourist manual for the rock art trail in eastern Uganda.
The research revealed that Rock Art in Uganda was made by hunter gatherers about 5000 years before present.

This becomes the oldest rock art in east Africa as those of Kodoa in Tanzania also listed on WorldHeritage List are younger (Nyiracyiza and Turruchetta, 2013).

Management plans for the 6 nominated Rock Art sites have been completed awaiting printing and distribution.
These sites’ designs and BoQs are also underway and will be completed before June 2015.These sites therefore do not have visitor facilities such as interpretation centers, reception, toilets and cafés.

Objectives: To preserve, protect and enhance Uganda’s cultural heritage contribution to tourism in the next 5 years; Develop new cultural heritage tourism products; Advocating for a conducive policy environment.
Link with the NDP: The project addresses the challenge highlighted in line with the National Development plan objectives and Vision 2040 both which emphasize on conservation and promotion of natural and cultural heritage in the country.

km shared between Kenya (6%), Uganda (45%) and Tanzania (49%).

The catchment area of the lake covers 180,959 km2, 15.9% of this is constituted by Uganda.

The socio-economic importance of Lake Victoria to Uganda and other countries of the region arises from both the intrinsic and tangible values that this lakes provides and includes rich biodiversity and its fragile ecosystems among others.
Biodiversity combined with the scenic beauty of the Lake Victoria, is one of the important contributors to increased tourist arrivals in the country and the investment in the hospitality industry.

In Uganda, tourism is an important but undervalued sector of the economy, generating a valuable and growing stream of foreign revenue, on the back of minimal promotion in its main source markets.

In 2011, foreign visitors were estimated to be responsible for US$ 805M of revenues (Uganda Bureau of Statistics).
Taking into account induced and indirect impacts, the tourism sector now accounts for around 9% of GDP, amounting to $1.7bn (World Bank, Situational Analysis, 2011).

Ugandan tourism is at a turning point with tremendous opportunities emerging and to this effect,tourism is recognized by Government in the current National Development Plan2010/11-2014/15 as one of the nation’s primary growth sectors.
A recent study (UNDP, Uganda’s Domestic Market, 2013) shows that domestic tourism is overwhelmingly composed of day trips to local attractions and for local activities, with 76% of travellers spending less than 12 hours away from home, and 81.5% spending less than UGX50,000 on their trip.
Ugandan citizens show limited interest in the National Parks and staying in NP accommodation facilities, because of transport difficulties, unaffordable prices, and a widespread lack of appreciation of Uganda’s wildlife and natural resources.

Visitors to important cultural and wildlife institutions such as UWEC and Ngamba island in Entebbe are predominantly domestic, although the largest proportion of these visitors are school groups and students (UNDP, Uganda’s Domestic Market, 2013).
Currently Entebbe and surrounding communities are witnessing an upward trend in numbers of both domestic and international visitors due to its diverse and unique attractions.

The easy of accessing Entebbe from Kampala capital city and being the main access route for international visitors through the only international airport in the country are one of the major contributing factors to its growing popularity.
It is anticipated that when the Entebbe- Kampala highway is opened, Entebbe recreation facilities will be overwhelmed with visitor numbers.

In quest to increase diversity of tourism products and services in Entebbe area to match the rising demand, the government of Uganda supports the establishment of tourism circuit on Lake Victoria (UWEC, Botanical gardens, Lutembe beach and Ngamba Island) as per the National Development Plan and Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities strategic plan.
Objectives: To establish Lake Victoria Tourism circuit to enhance tourism and conservation around Entebbe in the next five years.

Link with the NDP: The project will increase Uganda’s competiveness in the tourism sector and thus increase its contribution to GDP and employment.

This mandate gives the Ministry powers to develop and promote the source of the Nile as a means of enhancing socio economic benefits.

This is in line with the overall vision of the NDP of having a transformed Ugandan society from a peasant to a modern and prosperous country within 30 years.
The NDP also clearly highlights the urgency to develop tourism support infrastructure to include re-designing and developing the Jinja source of the Nile tourist site with the 576 Public Investment Plan Vote: 022 Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 03 Tourism, Wildlife conservation and Museums objective of increasing the contribution of tourism to GDP and employment.
The Tourism Master Plan also provides for a conceptual plan detailing how the source of the Nile can be developed to increase visitor experience.

The Plan proposes for the improvement of the site access and parking, establishment of an interpretation centre, high level viewing platforms, a high level river side tree canopy walkway and a river bank sound and light theatre, establishment of docking areas and modern tourism facilities such as restaurants, toilets and retail outlets.
To show Ministry commitment towards the redevelopment of the Source of the Nile, A consultant was engaged who later developed a Sustainable Development Plan for Source of the Nile.

The over-all objective of the Plan is to promote the sustainable use of tourism attractions and potentials associated with the Source of the Nile for social and economic development.
The Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities therefore proposes to develop the Source of the Nile with emphasis on developing modern toilet and bathroom facilities, signage to include directional and informational, develop site access route, viewing platforms, docking areas, nature walks and tourism information centres while creating an environment conducive for the private sector to invest in other facilities and activities to include accommodation and restaurants, purchase of boats, modern craft shops, information centre and in cultural groups to offer entertainment at the site a factor which will lead to product diversification at the site, employment creation and higher levels of socio economic benefits to the country.
Objectives: To improve visitor experience and increase numbers at the source of the Nile in 5 years Link with the NDP: Increase Uganda's competitiveness in the tourism sector through increasing tourism contribution to GDP and employment.
Expected Outputs: Developed source of the Nile designs; A well developed marine transport, site access route and beautification at the source of the Nile; A modern Information center; Developed public utilities to include toilets and bathrooms; Developed marine trails; Advantage view platforms; Informational and directional signage.
Performance Indicators: Physical development plans 3 docking areas 1 Kilometre of site access route developed Flowers and trees One well equipped information centre Four toilet and bathroom facilities 500 metres of marine trails A 10 metre high and 100 metres long viewing platform Two informational and ten directional signages 577 Public Investment Plan Vote: 022 Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 03 Tourism, Wildlife conservation and Museums Technical description of the project: Once completed as designed, the source of the Nile development project will get listed on the few iconic features that this country has yet with outstanding and modern facilities.
Its physical layout and designs will undoubtedly become models for other destinations to borrow best practices from which will also be translated to the socio and economic gains.

Developing the source of the Nile to world class status will also technically lead to private sector involvement and participation into the set up of similar projects for instance at Uganda's hot springs.
Availing utilities, advantage view platforms, docking areas and others all of which are proposed in this project will also attract other forms of investments in the area like banking and accommodation facilities which will increase on the trickle- down effect of the tourism benefits to a wide spectrum of communities.
Achievements for FY 2015/16: ToR for the pre-feasibility studies drafted; Key stakeholders consulted; Historical and cultural resources documented; Visitor satisfaction survey conducted; Plan of operation: The project is designed to be implemented in five years.

In the early 1960’s it became a zoo, commonly known as Entebbe Zoo.

In May 1994, the New York Zoological society turned it into a conservation Education centre for conservation awareness purposes, hence the name Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC).

It is now a place to go to see and learn about animals as a recreation park for the Ugandan public.

UWEC is also a rescue and rehabilitation centre and a captive breeding unit for threatened animal species rescued from poachers, illegal trade or accidents.
With the growing clientele, UWEC has become very small to handle all the collections and visitor capacity as it has no more land for her expansion for future plans, thus the need to go beyond Entebbe and establish more SWCCs in the country.

The location of UWEC in Entebbe makes it difficult, not affordable and accessible to most people in the country.
For example, UWEC received 262,350 visitors in the year 2011, which was higher than those received in 2010 (250,747) indicating a 5% growth from the previous year1.

However, of the 262,350 visitors received at UWEC in 2011, 61% were school groups, followed by Local adults (24 %), Local children (10%), foreign adults (24%) and foreign resident adults (24), that are from Kampala and Entebbe and really the well to do schools.
Thus an inequality in distribution and accessibility of services offered by UWEC (2011 Sector Statistical Abstract).

Unless this problem is addressed by MTWA, tourism development activities in the country will not be realized.

580 Public Investment Plan Vote: 022 Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 03 Tourism, Wildlife conservation and Museums Community interests in conflict with conservation interests will continue existing.
Thus Wildlife Conservation Centres will bridge the gap as they operate in each region.

Objectives: To establish and operate a wildlife satellite conservation centre in Western Uganda by year 2020 Link with the NDP: .The Wildlife Conservation Centre will play a major role in the economy and a major contributor to GDP by 2040.

It will provide enormous employment opportunities directly and in related service industries.
In addition to the direct benefits the Wildlife Conservation Centre will spur the growth of the associated secondary and tertiary industries in the Tourism Sector.

The Wildlife Conservation Centre in the tourism sector is to become the mainstay of the economy contributing highest in foreign exchange earnings, tax and non-tax revenue, employment and to GDP as a whole.

Uganda received 1,151,000 visitor arrivals in the year 2011 representing an increase of 34% from 2010.

This has since increased to 1,206,334 in 2013 an indication of a growing tourism market.

As a result, the sector is already making major contributions to employment, revenue generation, and foreign exchange earnings.
The tourism sector which was prioritized as a primary growth sector in the 2010/11‐2014/15 National Development Plan (NDP), once again has its own fully fledged Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage.

In terms of visitor arrivals, conference business, and investments in the tourist accommodation facilities, the sector is catching up.

There has also been resurgence in the numbers of wildlife owing to the high conservation initiatives.
These are all indicators of a vibrant sector on a strong growth path.

The Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities was recently created having split the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry (MTTI).

This development took place when the budgeting process was being finalized.

The cost implications of the new development were not foreseen.

These include office accommodation, additional staff, office and transport equipment, utilities and other consumable items.
There is a current shortage of office space to the extent that some of the staff sit and work in turns due to limited space, furniture and office equipment.

Some of the vehicles used by the ministers were drawn from the staff and this rendered the staff ineffective in carrying out .

The institute is a parastatal institution under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives.

The Institute is located at Plot 42A Mukabya Road, Nakawa Industrial Area, Kampala, P.O.Box 7086, Kampala, Website: www.uiri.org, Email: mail@uiri.org.
Genesis of UIRI UIRI traces its roots to the East African Federation of the 1970, as a precursor of the then East African Research Services Organization (EARSO) which was headquartered in Nairobi and served as a regional R&D institution for Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Upon collapse of the East African Federation, the EARSO disbanded in 1977, and later transformed into the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI).
Tanzania followed with establishment of the Tanzania Industrial Research and Development Organization (TIRDO).

It was not until 2002 that Uganda fully established and legally sanctioned Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI).

The establishment of UIRI was at the behest of His Excellency President Yoweri Museveni’s negotiations with the Chinese government which offered the grant to build and equip the institute.
Real metamorphosis, however, did not start until March 2006, when the institute realized competent leadership and underwent fundamental restructuring which was followed by a step change in level of funding (from Ugx 3 billion in 2006 to Ugx 13.5 billion by 2011).

In a short six years, UIRI has truly become a world-class R&D institution that has become a source of support for the country’s nascent industry.

Objectives: UIRI’s primary objectives are: i.


To carry out applied research for the development of products and provide platforms for innovation, application of science and technology.

ii.

To develop/acquire appropriate technologies in order to create a strong, effective and competitive industrial sector.

587 Public Investment Plan Vote: 110 Uganda Industrial Research Institute Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 51 Industrial Research iii.
To promote value addition activities so as to transform local raw materials into competitive marketable products.

iv.

To bridge the gap between academia, government, and the private sector and to enhance commercialization of R&D.

v.Take affordable technology to the people to enhance primary processing that will result into, secondary processing and transform into industry.
The UIRI Center of Excellence primary objectives are; • To foster targeted skills capacity development for applied R&D for industrialization in the EAC region.

• To carry out applied research for the development of products and provide platforms for innovation, application of science and technology in the EAC region.

• To develop/acquire appropriate technologies in order to create a strong, effective and competitive industrial sector in the EAC region.
• To promote value addition activities so as to transform raw materials available in the EAC region into competitive marketable products.

• To bridge the gap between academia, research institutions, and the private sector in order to enhance commercialization of R&D outputs in the EAC region.

Link with the NDP: The Projection of NDP was to facility UIRI at a rate of 21bn per financial year for 5 consecutive financial years to enable the Institute gain momentum to attain self-sustainability.
The situation is that funding has not been remitted as expected and lot of planed projects and activities remain incomplete and hence the discussion of self-sustainability or the given time frame of 5 years is untenable.

Analysis of the current trend of financing over the last 4 years dictates a 15year slow pace of piece mill consolidation of the anticipated industrialization process industry if budget allocations are not revised as per NDP.
Chronic budget shortfalls, when added to an already inadequate budget outlays have hampered progress of UIRI’s projects and plans.

Unfunded mandates continue to undermine the whole industrialization process.

The situation above not withstanding Uganda Industrial Research Institute remains committed to purse the following 1.

Remain the lead agency in industrialization of Uganda 2.
Promote the development of value added industries especially agro-industries to enhance value addition to primary products 3.

Some of the daunting statistics and other manifestation of this slow pace of development include: • Low levels of technology innovation and technology use (see map below).

• Manufacturing share of GDP is only 10%.

• Low productivity to sustain industry growth and delivery of quality products.

• Post-harvest losses are as high as 40% for some commodities.

• Only 12% of Uganda’s exports are high technology exports, compared to Malaysia with 58%.

• Low value of manufactured exports – 80% of total.
• High levels of underemployment (65%); lack of requisite practical skills.

• High production costs (partly because of decrepit infrastructure).

A general overview of the East African Community’s (EAC’s) industrial sector suggests a rather amorphous and even retrogressive pace of industrialization.

The region still belongs to the category of Least Developing Countries (LDCs) which are not expected to meet their Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
These shortcomings can only be overcome by transition to knowledge-based economies that fully embrace applied Science, Technology and Innovation (STI).

Key vehicles in this effort include enhanced Research and Development (R&D) capabilities, targeted skills capacity development, and a higher level of access to and utilization of modern and appropriate technologies.

It is only with, and through, technology transfer and development that meaningful value addition can be undertaken.
590 Public Investment Plan Vote: 110 Uganda Industrial Research Institute Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 51 Industrial Research The EAC region is endowed with vast natural resources which remain underutilized due to a combination of factors such as non-conducive policies, inefficient and bureaucratic business environment, limited skills and technological know- how, information gaps and fragmented markets all of which hamper the realization of viable economies of scale for production.
The efforts of partner states towards meaningful industrial development have so-far included; development of Industrialization Policies, establishment of Research and Technological Organizations (RTO), establishment of Investment Authorities to foster Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), taking advantage of African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) provisions, experimentation with industrial parks, and copious trade missions to countries that “have made it”, especially the Asian Tigers.
Most disconcerting, however, is the fact that most of these interventions have never been properly coordinated, and some never seem to have the desired comprehensive outlook.

Simple principles of project management require meticulous review of what has worked and what has not.

Follow up and appropriate modifications of plans and approaches by mandated agencies are the necessary ingredients for project success.

The key challenges that currently prevail include; i.
State of Industry: industry in the region is mainly dominated by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME’s) most of which are engaged in agro-processing and production of basic consumer goods.

Unfortunately there is often inadequate research into development of products and services.

This limits market prospects.

ii.

Weak Linkages among academia, R&D Institutions and Industry: there remains weak linkage between academia, R&D institutions and industry.
This is mainly due to the fact that industrialists do not fully appreciate the importance of R&D improved productivity and competitiveness.

Academic and institutional R&D on the other hand, is often not focused to the actual needs of the productive sector.

In addition there is weak coordination, collaboration, and linkage between regional and international research institutions.

iii.
iii.

Diffusion and Commercialization of Innovations: There remains lack of effort towards establishment of mechanisms for diffusion and commercialization of innovations that are relevant to the needs of society.

Lack of innovation funds is glaring evidence of weakness in this area.

iv.
iv.

R&D Funding: remains far below the agreed target set by African Heads of State under the Lagos Plan of Action which called for 1% GDP expenditure on R &D. v.Technical Skills Capacity Development: there remains need for increase in the number of relevant, qualified and competent scientists and engineers to undertake high-level R&D capable of driving the process of industrialization.
This problem is compounded by lack of a centralized information system on the few skilled practitioners available in the region.

vi.

Infrastructure: there remains need for substantial physical and technological infrastructure improvement at most R&D Institutions.

Most RTO’s continue to rely on use of decrepit facilities and obsolete equipment.

vii.

Reliance on Donor Funding: the majority of high capital technological R&D projects are funded by International Development Agencies (IDAs).
Unfortunately the agenda of most of these projects is usually not properly aligned with partner state development objectives.

Accordingly, the R&D outputs of such projects become difficult to translate into successful industrial undertakings.

viii.

Financial year funding is not in tandem with Budgeted and planned out vis via releases: with the launch of Vision 2040.

UIRI is supposed to play a major role in the national industrialsation effort.
UIRI has done its best to prepare itself to live up to its mandate as a lead agency in Uganda’s industrialization strategy as well as the institution of choice as East Africa’s Center of Excellence in R&D.
UIRI can not measure up to the task with such parsimonious budgetary allocation Achievements for FY 2015/16: Done Plan of operation: 591 Public Investment Plan Vote: 110 Uganda Industrial Research Institute Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 51 Industrial Research SWOT analysis In order for UIRI to discern its strategic options it is worthwhile to consider the current environment in which the Institute operates, without ignoring its historical past.
The context for UIRI’s strategic direction should be guided by the strengths that the organization enjoys, the opportunities (and possibilities) available, the inherent weaknesses, as well as the threats, that are to be contended with.

The last two years, as indicated above, have seen the Institutes’ reversal of fortunes.

Thus the strengths and opportunities seem to counterbalance and even outweigh the threats and weaknesses.
The details of what informs this view follow: Strengths manifested at UIRI include the existing assets especially the technologies deployed for use by the pilot plants, and those planned in the near future.

Rehabilitation of the pilot plants, and the contributions of The Uganda Millennium Science Initiative (MSI) in strengthening the Institute, constitutes the necessary cornerstone for building a world-class research and technology institution.
Another recent development that portends significant progress for UIRI is the restructuring that started in late 2005.

This has led to the deployment of a focused, competent, and well credentialed management team and to a highly motivated, resourceful, and committed workforce.

The track record of the past couple of years, especially when compared to past performance, is a clear manifestation of the Institute’s progress.

Weaknesses, however, are also still evident within UIRI’s ranks and modus operandi.
The strategic plan that has been proposed must deal squarely with these weaknesses, especially those that are within the purview of internal management.

Capacity building efforts must be continued with more vigour to mitigate against lack of skills, competences and entrepreneurship.

Those that are exogenous to UIRI’s internal structures must be addressed in consultation with the relevant agencies and organsiations.

These include infrastructure (i.e.


Connectivity, communication, and logistics), budgetary support, and accurate national databases of timely information.

Threats against the progress, and even survival, of the Institute tend to be exogenous in nature.

Obviously international strife, from whatever source, can also become an institutional hazard.
Competition for limited resources and lack of cohesion between institutions tend to stand out as notable obstacles to the welfare and profundity of the institutions themselves.

UIRI is by no means immune to such uncomfortable reality.

Cumbersome regulatory and bureaucratic procedures are antithetical to pioneering organisations such as UIRI that strive to introduce new ways of doing things.

Such procedures inhibit innovation.


The formulation of national priorities and the consistency and modalities of their implementation can be a boon or a bane to the progress of a research and technology institution such as UIRI.

Therefore the strategic plan must emphasize promotion of UIRI’s profile and must devise an effective marketing regime to inform society at large about the relevance and value of the Institute’s activities.
Opportunities for a research and technology outfit are plentiful in the current environment.

Political goodwill from the highest office in the land; an ambitious agenda for socio-economic transformation; multilateral and bilateral agreements and associated global market expansion for our products; emphasis on value addition and other developmental initiatives; and sound education policies all bode well as opportunities for UIRI to exploit as it charts its strategic plan for the next five years.
Summary of SWOT matrix for UIRI’s strategic plan Strengths • Existing assets (including pilot plants) • Institutional autonomy • Support from development partners (e.g.
MSI) • Location of UIRI premises • Focused management team 592 Public Investment Plan Vote: 110 Uganda Industrial Research Institute Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 51 Industrial Research • A vibrant business system Weaknesses • Inadequate resources • Lack of skills, competences • Lack of maintenance culture • Decrepit infrastructure • Low level of technology use Opportunities • Political will and support from President • Integration of the industrial policy in the NDP • Collaboration with other institutions, local and international (e.g.
WAITRO) • Government strategies and initiatives (PFA, NDP etc.)

• A large pool of graduates Threats • Competition for limited resources • Societal attitudes about “government” property.

• Lack of institutional cohesion • Traditional attitudes and mindsets.

• Cumbersome regulatory/bureaucratic procedures Critical issues and core strategies It is clear from the foregoing SWOT Analysis that UIRI needs to focus on a growth strategy (as opposed to leveraging, response, or survival strategies).
Pursuing a “growth strategy” is premised on the fact that the foundations and other initial enabling conditions are in place.

This strategy suggests that the inherent strengths and core competencies that UIRI enjoys should be applied to exploit the opportunities available.

UIRI is uniquely positioned to address the issues of industrialization and its growth strategy should aim at achieving excellence in linking applied research and innovation, to viable commercial enterprises.
It must develop depth in its partnerships with academia, private sector, and the community at large.

To this end UIRI’s strategic plan must be guided by the goals and objectives outlined earlier and by operational priorities listed below: and use of pilot plants are proven mechanisms for further product development and market testing prior to a scaled-up full fledged commercialization.

Pilot plants are also crucial in terms of hands-on-training for entrepreneurs and technicians.
Skills development continue to be a challenge nationally and pilot plants are the best practical training platforms.

incubation.

To date the Institute has focused on in-house incubation (see list in the annex).

However in the spirit of “Prosperity for All” (PFA), these efforts should be extended to rural and peri-urban communities utilizing the “virtual incubator” model.

Science Unit (see annex1).


Support from Millennium Science Initiative (MSI) has gone a long way in building capacity for TDC, but a lot has yet to be done.

UIRI needs to enhance its capacity to fabricate basic machines, to engage in mineral beneficiation, as well as creating the necessary foundations for a vibrant primary industries sector.
The basic machines will be for enhanced value addition and it is envisaged that primary industries will be the precursor for 593 Vote: 110 Uganda Industrial Research Institute Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 06 51 Industrial Research Uganda’s manufacturing sector.

X-ray Technologies.

Public Investment Plan seamlessly taken up by the latter.

This symbiosis should be nurtured and UIRI should continue to perform its central role of bridging the gap between the two entities.
The Institute has entered MoUs with Makerere University, The Inter- University Council of Eastern Africa and should continue to aggressively seek partnerships with agencies, universities and tertiary institutions so as to tackle the issues of requisite skills for industry in a coordinated manner.

at the source.

The nature of Uganda’s agrarian economy is that primary or farm level production is concentrated in upcountry areas.
Given the state of our infrastructure and the logistics of delivery it is not tenable to engage in centralized processing far away from the rural communities that are the source of raw materials.

Processing facilities should be planned and deployed in concert with the zoning schemes that have been elaborated upon nationally.

stage for research and Development (R & D) spin-offs that can address specialty areas.
As UIRI undertakes to develop centres of excellence in business incubation, biotechnology, packaging, metallurgy et al, there will be a national need to spin off other institutes that are programme specific or those that can exhaustively address a discipline or product, based on national priority.

Building a schematic that highlights the interaction between UIRI and other agencies, both in and outside government.

One cannot overemphasize the need for collaboration between institutions and agencies.
Individual institutional mandates must coalesce in order to deliver on the national effort towards socio-economic transformation.

A comprehensive and holistic approaches are sine qua non to optimal deployment of resources as well as successful execution of the national agenda.

It is thus crucial for the UEPB to obtain the correct market information about Uganda’s actual and potential exports and share it with the organizations that directly work with producers so that there is export-market-led production.

This information should include standards and quality requirements in the export markets.
Objectives: Strengthen efforts to increase Uganda exports of goods and services in strategic markets Improving and promoting an efficient and effective export market information services delivery system Improve the capacity of UEPB to deliver effectively and efficiently Link with the NDP: NDPII supports export-oriented growth.

Uganda’s strategic location at the heart of East Africa makes it well placed to exploit the regional market.
The NDP II recognizes that Uganda has got few small scale exporters and that there is need to diversify the export market and add value to traditional export commodities.

UEPB’s role under the NDPII is the creation and diversification of markets and exports.

The recently passed Public Finance Management Act 2015 (PFMA) requires the National Planning Authority (NPA) to issue all Government Ministries and Agencies the Certificate of Compliance to the NDP.
PFMA 13(7) states that the annual budget shall be accompanied by a certificate of compliance of the annual budget of the previous financial year, issued by the National Planning Authority.

Instructional materials are severely lacking, particularly textbooks and other learning materials.

Currently, there is need to have boarding facilities, which are grossly inadequate at the moment.

In several of the primary schools classrooms have been converted into dormitories to meet the necessity.

The provision of adequate boarding facilities is therefore critical, particularly if more girls are to be enrolled in school.
The boarding school system will also help to address other constraints to education such as the high absenteeism due insecurity and pupils being engaged in domestic chores.

There are staffing gaps that exist and yet newly posted teachers quickly dessert the schools due to poor facilities and lack of accommodation.

Other studies have shown that 20% of teachers are absent in schools whereas 20% report late on duty during the school term.
Yet their presence is key to ensure an effective teaching and learning process in schools.

To ensure teachers’ attendance and retention in schools there is need to provide accommodation within the school for teaches.
Therefore, appropriate levels of investments in primary education are critical for development since it is a key component and backbone of human capital that is essential for generating life skills and sustainable economic growth Objectives: To improve access, quality and equity of education provision in the selected primary schools in Karamoja through provision of school facilities including boarding facilities for pupils in seven districts of Karamoja (Moroto, Nakapiripirit, Kotido, Abim, Amudat, Napak, and Kabong).

However, over 50% of these are in a poor state providing an environment not conducive for education.

As a whole the primary education infrastructure was severely affected by political turmoil and economic decline.

The introduction of the policy of Universal Primary Education further added a strain on the inadequate facilities.
It is against this background that the government identified the need to reactivate the primary education system by improving and strengthening primary schools and reducing the cost of primary education in order to attain its objectives of universal education and general literacy for all.

Objectives: The objectives are: a.

To rehabilitate and strengthen primary schools damaged during a disaster; b.
To supplement and support local initiatives by parents in the rehabilitation and construction of schools in order to achieve Universal Primary Education; c. To improve the pupil to classroom ratio.

Link with the NDP: Improving effectiveness and efficiency of primary education, increase access and equity of primary education for girls and boys.

Due to the UPE bulge, pupils successfully completing primary have also increased.

Available statistics indicate that in the year 2000, a total of 238,834 pupils out of 304,507 pupils passed primary 7 while in 2004, the number increased to 320,543 out of 433,518 pupils who sat.

However, not all those children who complete the primary cycle successfully are able to join post- primary education and training (PPET).
Education Management Information System (EMIS) 2004 indicates that only 50% of those who complete primary seven (P7) are able to transit to post primary.

According to the National Poverty Assessment Report 2003, PPET remains prohibitively expensive and as such inaccessible for many learners, in addition to other impediments such as culture, attitude to education, early marriages, petty trade and insecurity in some areas of the country.
All the studies undertaken cite poverty as the major cause of drop out or failure to access UPPET.

Consequently, in November 2005, H.E.

the President announced Government’s declaration to introduce Universal Post- Primary Education and Training (UPPET) in Uganda with a view to consolidating the UPE gains and promoting equitable access.
This announcement was included in the presidents’ campaign manifesto page 23 section 2.1.2 stating that; “NRM Government will introduce Universal Secondary Education starting with senior one in January 2007 and then continue progressively to all four years from Senior One to Senior Four.

The intake is estimated to be 300,000, absorbing all the 2006 PLE candidates, as well as those of 2004 and 2005 who dropped out of school owing to lack of school fees.
This step is important because the pressure on parents is, easily, observable whenever leaders go up country.

When we introduce USE, in the first year we will recruit 9,000 teachers in secondary schools, thus USE will create more jobs”.
UPPET has been prepared in the context of the: 1998 Government White Paper on Education, the Education Sector Strategic Plan (2004-2015), the education sector long-term expenditure frame, International long term commitments and the medium term goals and plans of the sector.

JKIST is to be established as a special public institution of higher education in Uganda but also as one in a network of Pan-African Institutes of Science and Technology located across the continent.

JKIST is to train and develop the next generation of African scientists, engineers, managers and leaders that are properly grounded in the Pan Africanist ideology, mindset and practical work ethics, with courses accredited by National Council of Higher education.
The Institution seeks to stimulate, catalyze and promote intensification of agricultural production, ICT development, tourism and hotel management and value addition to the various natural products produced in Uganda and the East African region.

JKIST's emphasis on training will be placed on linkage to society and the local industry, while re-directing scientific and technological innovations to local needs.
Therefore, its training curricular will incorporate strong innovation and entrepreneurship features, underpinning strong academia-industry relations and the curricular will seek to accommodate, enable, stimulate and catalyze the innovation and entrepreneurship qualities inherent in the African youth generation for the benefit of sustainable development.
Objectives: (a) Increase the number of practically-oriented graduates through specialized and improved quality of science and engineering innovations; (b) Catalyze the development and utilization of world class science and technology in Uganda, Eastern Africa and Sub- Saharan Africa, generally; (c) Provide the best possible facilities for specialized practical training and research in science and technology; (d) Bridge the gap between research and industrial development by providing a strong link for technology transfer and establishment of an ICT park within its premises; (e) Initiate partnerships and MoUs/affiliations with other Universities including those in developed countries for joint technology development, internships, sharing and exchange of trainers and mentors; (f) Develop linkages with the private sector, to utilize research to improve quality, productivity, competitiveness, and hence promote growth; (g) Impart right work ethics and patriotism based on Pan-Africans agenda by establishing a Youth Centre and a Guest House to accommodate periodic retreats for the Pan-African Youth and dignitaries; and (h) Recognize, sustain and promote the achievements and the political and social values from the history of the Late John Kale and to utilize his legacy to motivate the current and future generations in Uganda and the rest of Africa.
648 Vote: 013 Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports Public Investment Plan Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 05 Skills Development Link with the NDP: The NDP II indicates that the students enrollment in higher education increased by 26% from 183,985 (2010)-232,612 (2013/14).

University continues to enroll 67.3% of the post secondary students (156,747) as of 2013/14 and 60% are in Public Universities while the rest are in private providers.
This trend shows bigger importance attached to University education.

The current USE/UPOLET prgrammes have lead to increased higher transition rates to Universities causing pressure at universities in terms of facilities (Lecture RMs, Labs & workshops, ICT) provision.

The lecture to student ration is very high indicating that the quality of training and research at the University level need to be improved.
The number of students enrolled in Science and Technology at all universities is less that 37% below the minimum requirement of 40% for a country to economically take off and participate in the global knowledge based economy (UNESCO).
Unlike in 1950s and 60s where higher education was prioritized, the economic crisis of 70s and early 80s under the WB SAPs prioritized basic education and the withdrawal of development partners from higher education dwindled resources to this sub-sector which has in addition suffered brain drain syndrome.
The inadequate attention to higher education and technical TIs over the last four decades have negatively impacted on the continent to supply the needed medium/high level skill base especially in science and technology.

Africa has continued to become an import economy for finished products and technical assistance which is short term remedy but does not enable the countries to build their relevant capacities and skills base to spur export-oriented economy.
Research has shown that most of the scientific and technology breakthroughs' in developed countries have been through tertiary education institutions.

The contribution of the private sector is important but experience from the developing countries, especially eastern tigers confirm that the private sector usually invest in a country when there is a core skill base to warrant returns to investments.
Government's role is to provide the critical environment for the evolution of science and technology, which will lead to relevant innovations and research is well emphasized.

There is no doubt that Makerere University for example, has been on the forefront produced most prominent scientists, doctors, and engineers but such opportunities have been stifled by weakening professional training and focused research.
This project, therefore, is timely and desirable to augment the on-going efforts of Government to promote science and technology in specialized areas to reverse the social ills triggered by irrelevant training courses.

The project is strategic in promoting Pan-African partnerships as panacea for national, regional and international development.

Expected Outputs: a) An established new institute of science and technology in Kisoro district.

b) A reviewed and developed curriculum.


c) Staff recruited basing on the recommended staff student ratios of the National Council for Higher Education.

d) Library and reference resources established.

On 2nd October 2012, the new Strategic Plan for BTVET under the name “Skilling Uganda” was launched; and later a Reform Task Force (RTF) and its Executive Secretariat were established to spearhead the reforms.

“Skilling Uganda” is an ambitious reform programme, which aims at overhauling the current system of BTVET in Uganda.

It outlines the framework for a modern, state of the art, open system for skills development.

The paradigm shift for skills development as outlined in the plan is essential.
The new BTVET system should emerge from an educational sub-sector into a comprehensive and open system of skills development for employment, enhanced productivity and growth.

The main purpose is to create employable skills and competencies relevant to the labour market instead of providing educational certificates.

It will embrace all Ugandans in need of skills.

There is a need to focus on the practical competencies of graduates rather than academic approaches as was the case in the past.
Objectives: OVERALL OBJECTIVE The employability of youth is increased through better quality of instruction and learning in Skills Development.

Through this support various projects were undertaken and the following achievements have been realized; • 7 workshop blocks with a classroom on each were constructed, • All the seven workshops were equipped with state of the art equipment, accessories and tools, • Workshops and classrooms were equipped with 1600 pieces of assorted furniture, • 4 dormitory blocks accommodating 160 trainees were constructed, • A dining hall accommodating 200 trainees was constructed, • 1 administration block was constructed and renovated, • 56 instructors were trained in Japan and other countries, • 139 instructors from neighboring countries(Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Eritrea) were trained, • 250 instructors from BTVET institutions in Uganda have been trained, • 180 managers of BTVET institutions have been trained at Nakawa VTI, • Upgrading skills training programs for over 500 workers from industries were conducted, • Over 3500 pre employment youths have graduated from basic training programmes conducted at Nakawa VTI.
With this technical support from government of Japan through JICA the Ugandan industries have expressed satisfaction with the skills of graduates churned out.

According to the tracer studies conducted in 2012, over 75% of the graduates were in gainful employment.

Another study conducted in June 2015 on graduates of 2012 and 2013 indicate that over 80% of the graduates got employment.
656 Public Investment Plan Vote: 013 Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 05 Skills Development However, this survey further indicated that although our graduates were doing well in skills compared to graduates from Technical colleges, their qualifications were lower and therefore disadvantaged in terms of remuneration and grading.
The industries and graduates therefore requested Nakawa VTI to start training programs for upgrading the qualifications of those workers from a certificate to vocational diplomas in specific occupational areas.

Although Nakawa VTI passes quality graduates it cannot alone satisfy the labour market.

There are over 50 Government Technical Institutions in the country training craftsmen, however, the quality of skills of these graduates do not satisfy the needs of the private sector.
Many of the highly paid technical jobs tend to be occupied by foreign workers rather than Ugandan people.

In 2011, Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports (MOESTS) which has the jurisdiction over Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) formulated a national strategic plan in the TVET sub sector, “The Skilling Uganda 2012-2021”.

In the plan, the following points are to be given priority as priority in the development of TVET sector; 1.
Foster human resource for future economic development, 2.

 Improvement in the quality of training, 3.

 Improvement in the accessibility to TVET for the socially vulnerable, 4.

 Improvement in the management of TVET sector, 5.
Promote greater efficiency and effectiveness on utilization of resources for training In order to address the situation, Government of Uganda decided to upgrade NVTI as a vocational college and requested Government of Japan for a technical cooperation project.

The request was adopted in line with the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) V at which the importance of human resource development in Africa was highlighted.
Objectives: To strengthen the capacity of NVTI for human resource development responding to the needs of the private sector.

Link with the NDP: Skills training is a key factor in the development of human resource for industrialization and productivity of any nation.

The overall goal of the TVET LEAD project is to enable NVTI to function as a centre of excellence for the development of human resource for industries.
The project was designed to enhance the skills of workers in industries, pre- employment youths and BTVET instructors which is in line with one of the key objectives of the NDP of promoting human capital development.

Expected Outputs: Diploma courses in motor vehicle and electricity are established.

Upgrading training on mechatronics is provided.

Workshops for Electricity and Motor Vehicle constructed and furnished NVTI’s management capacity is strengthened.
Function of NVTI to support other BTVET institutes is strengthened.

The delegation requested for the construction of a new stadium in Lira in memory of the late John Akii Bua.

The President directed the Rt.

Hon.

Prime Minister to work closely with the then Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development (Hon.

Daniel Omara Atubo) to source funding for the project from the Chinese Government.

The Chinese Ambassador then advised that the Chinese Government will consider funding the project if a formal request is made.
Since then, a number of initiatives have been undertaken to implement the directive one of which is the acquisition of the land title for the project land.

However, a formal request in form of a project proposal is yet to be presented to the Chinese Government by the Government of Uganda.

Uganda currently has only one modern sports stadium - the Nelson Mandela National Stadium Namboole built by a Chinese Government Grant in 1997.

It has a capacity of 40,000 seats.


There are occasions when the Country could have bided to host regional games (e.g.

African Cup of Nations), but could not do so because it has only one stadium of international standard.

Consequently, it misses out on the benefits of hosting such events.

The late John Akii Bua became the first Ugandan to win an Olympic Gold Medal when in 1972 he won 400m hurdles race in a world record time, in Munich Germany.
The winning was not only a personal achievement, but a source of pride for the entire nation, including his home district of Lira where the stadium is to be built.

It is befitting that this impressive achievement should not be forgotten.

Dedication of a stadium in his honor is also an inspiration to other sportsmen and sports women to perform highly and be honored.
Uganda’s population has been rapidly increasing over the years, the result of which has been increased pressure on the available resources including sports facilities which are not only few but also do not meet National and International standards yet there is an increasing need by Ugandans for modern sports and recreational services.

Construction of another stadium will ease pressure on Mandela National Stadium Namboole.
669 Vote: 013 Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 07 Physical Education and Sports Public Investment Plan While Uganda is making big advances in PES development in respect to policy, institutional set-ups, capacity building and competitions advancement, the greatest challenge to the realization of a comprehensive, tangible and complete PES development cycle is inadequacy and lack of PES facilities calls for construction of stadia such as the proposed Akii Bua Olympic Stadium.
Objectives: Overall Objective is: To promote physical activities and sports in the country.

Specific objectives are: i.

To construct Akii Bua Olympic Stadium to international standard.

Ii.

To supply the stadium with all the necessary facilities and equipment for the various sports.
Link with the NDP: In line with the Vision 2014 and as stipulated in NDP II (2015/16-2019/20), the Sports Sub-sector will prioritize: (i) Establishing additional sports facilities and basic Stadia at least one per region as well as establishing sports councils, (ii) Improving the rewarding and recognition scheme for excelling sportsmen and women and (iii) Implementation community coach qualification initiatives to ensure talent initiation, identification and development by the qualified competent coaches at all levels.
The second National Development Plan (NDPII) aims to increase overall competitiveness, create additional wealth and employment while emphasizing inclusive and sustainable growth.

Expected Outputs: A fully furnished national Stadium with hard surface courts, and an indoor facility to accommodate variety of track (Athletics) and field sports.
Performance Indicators: (i) Number of consultancy services for designs and works supervision (ii) Number of contractors secured (iii) Number of leveled sports grounds and indoor facility constructed (iv) Number of assorted sports equipment procured (v) Quality of sports facilities constructed (vi) Number of facility managers recruited and remunerated (vii) Number of office equipment and tools procured (viii) Quality water and power supply systems constructed (xi) Number of implementation meetings held Technical description of the project: Akii Bua Olympic Stadium will be constructed to international standard with a capacity of 40,000 along Okello Degree Road at Senior Quarters “A”, Central Division within Lira Municipality.
The stadium will be capable of hosting various types of indoor and outdoor games and sports which will be modeled along the design of Namboole Stadium.

In addition, other facilities to be constructed include; restaurants, bars, health club, shops, sports hostels, conferencing halls.

b)Improving access to and the quality of physical education in the country c) “Developing a cadre of high performing national athletes on a sustainable basis;” (Clause 2.10, iii), p.8.)

The policy whose implementation is based on a 10-year Action Plan has fallen behind schedule with respect to construction of physical facilities for PES activities country wide which should have commenced by year two of implementation.
As of now all the sports facilities in the country (in educational institutions and for the community) have decayed or been displaced by other developments including gardening, building construction etc.

The only modern sports facility that has come up in post independent Uganda is the Mandela National stadium built by a Chinese Government Grant and handed over to the Uganda Government in1997.
This stadium which is designed for elite competitions requires several smaller back-up stadia across the country from which grassroots talent can be identified and groomed to be able to meet at the national stadium for elite training and competitions.
Government plans to expand on the quality of PES in Uganda which is considered essential and critical for the children and youth to acquire wholesome employable knowledge and education, good health, vital life skills and competencies that will enable them improve on their lives and livelihood as organized members of society.

Objectives: The project aims at achieving the following objectives: i.

To construct a National High Altitude Training Centre in Kapchorwa.

ii.
ii.

In the recent past, UNEB has experienced an increase in the number of candidates who register for national examinations at various levels due to population growth and various academic courses offered.

This consistent increase which is 5% on average annually has impacted negatively on UNEB’s existing infrastructure, ICT services and other related facilities.

The above scenario has therefore led to overcrowding in offices and lack of adequate storage space for examination materials.
As a temporary measure, the Board has been hiring 2 warehouses at Ntinda Industrial Area at an average cost of 250 million shillings annually.

With the projection that the storage needs of UNEB are anticipated to increase by 100% before the end of 2016 examination cycle, it implies that the Board will be spending 500 million shillings annually as cost of storage hire.

This would be saved once the facility is fully built and operationalized.
Aware that UNEB’s examination materials are security sensitive and in a bid to ensure that examinations remain valid and reliable and to assure the public of the credibility of UNEB’s results, the Board intends to develop its Infrastructure and ICT services within a more secure environment.

A total amount of UGX 31.6bn will be required to implement this project by 2019.
Objectives: To improve validity, reliability, credibility and quality of examinations assessment outcomes through provision of adequate infrastructure and ICT services at UNEB offices.

The specific objectives include the following; i.

Improve and expand office accommodation for staff ii.

Increase storage space for examination materials iii.

Expand UNEB’s printing capacity iv.

The initiative especially under the Technology Transfer and Development Centre and the Clusters programme has developed viable prototypes targeting SMEs product development and business processes.

Key highlights include: Research in diapers: the Makapads project has continued to expand the range of products.

The team is currently doing research on how make diapers for babies using bio-degradable materials.
Some of the schools that benefited this year include Nakanyonyi Girls School, Wairaka College, Wanyange Girls Jinja and Jinja Secondary School.

The project distributed MakaPads in 30 UPE schools per district benefiting 100 pupils per school and each received a pack of 12 packets and a pair of panties.

In Soroti district, Eastern Uganda the schools that benefited included, Awoja, Owalei, Moruapesur, Soroti Islamic, Pioneer, Nakatunya, Oderai & Bamba Primary schools.
In Oyam district, Northern Uganda the schools were Kamdini, Obang, Omwa Dem, Aleny, Aminormir, Barmwony, Ayomapwano & Oyoe Primary schools.

Over 200 schools have benefitted since 2010.

The research for MakaPads has progressed into designing of the Maternity Bed Pads.
These have been tested in selected hospitals and maternity clinics namely; Mulago Medical Centre Kitebi, Lions Medical and Laboratory Services in Kitebi, Kagoma Maternity clinic, Makindye Medical Centre, Cure Medical centre Salaama and in Wakiso district.

Irrigation Project: The project has been able to design and manufacture affordable pumps which are being used by farmers for irrigation to mitigate the effects of unreliable rainfall.
This is helping in boosting small holder farmers’ production and improving food security in Uganda.

The project is working with tea growers in Kyenjojo to test the pumps.

Others farmers that have benefitted from the research include those in Wakiso and the Eastern districts of the country.

The researchers are continuing to do research in solar driven pumps to reduce the cost of irrigating fields.
CEDAT’s iLabs@Mak Project: The iLabs@Mak Project has for the 5th year running pioneered the college out-reach 716 Public Investment Plan Vote: 136 Makerere University Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 51 Delivery of Tertiary Education and knowledge transfer initiative.

The team has over the years encouraged science and technology innovation among secondary school students.
This has been done through various robotics trainings and through organising the country’s only Science and Technology Innovations Challenge.

This is held annually and this year round, it grew in numbers to have 12 participate up from 8 last year.

It is hoped with number will grow in the coming year.
Innovations System and Cluster Program: The project is working SMEs, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, private sector and the academia (largely from CEDAT) to bring together people dealing in the same economic activity but also operating in the same geographic location.

The idea is for the cluster groups to work together with the academia in an effort to improve the quality of the products so as to get better market and in so doing improve incomes.
Some of the cluster groups that have benefited from this partnership with academia are the Katwe Metal Cluster, Mbarara milk cluster.

Lira Bee cluster, Katwe salt cluster, basketry cluster among other.

CREEC: The Centre for Research in Energy and Energy Conservation is working with rural communities in Uganda on the Rural Electrification Project.

In an effort to reduce the usage of candles and fuel lamps, CREEC is working with the Ministry of Energy to extend the usage of solar to rural communities.
The centre has put solar kiosks in 4 different districts.

The kiosk has rechargeable solar lamps which communities hire at only Shs500.

This has reduced the number of people using fuels lamps, accidents due to fires and also created employment for some youth.

In conjunction with the College of Natural Sciences, CREEC organised the 3rd workshop on Photovoltaic Solar Energy 8th -12th September 2014.
The purpose of starting the PV training was to give people hands on training so that they acquire knowledge basing on how to do the proper sizing of the PV system, Installation and maintenance.

Participants gained proper installation knowledge that provided them with an opportunity to start business dealing in PV components.
The PV system registered a number of successes being a clean source without creating any pollution to the environment and facilitates farming during the dry season as irrigation can be done using DC pumps being driven by solar supply.

Cooling of the rooms could also be achieved by using DC fans Centre for Technology Design and Development (CTDD) The Centre for Technology Design and Development is a Technology Development and Transfer Centre.
Its role is to develop capacity in technical, socio-economic, cultural and political aspects of technology transfer from other countries to Uganda, and also within different parts of Uganda.

CTDD plays the roles of coordinating technology development and transfer activities in the college.

It is the college’s student incubation centre.

It nurtures students’ innovations into profitable and fruitful business enterprises.
It provides funds to students in the final year of their study to do research and or construction of projects.

The idea behind students’ projects is to provide community based solutions.

Some prototypes have been tested in the communities of Nakasongola and projects like solar fruit driers, maize shredders, peddle washing, wind turbine have been deployed to help the rural communities.
Plan of operation: The Executing Agency for the project will be Makerere University, acting through the respective Faculty of Technology.

The University Secretary as accounting officer and the office of the Bursar will provide financial oversight and appropriate disbursements to the respective units.

Reporting will be through the normal university processes at faculty and institutional levels.

To accelerate household incomes and boost the national income during this period, commercial agriculture and agri-business will be core.

Transformation requires that youth and farmers have sufficient access to relevant information, knowledge, skills, technologies, innovations and engagement in markets.

Needless to say, no country has transformed itself without leveraging the power of science and higher education, the engine for transformative knowledge and the bedrock of technology and innovations.
However, unless science is linked to the last point of producing goods and services for society, it is of no value.

Therefore delivery systems must by necessity be efficient if education, science, technology and innovations are to translate into practice, livelihoods and community wellbeing.

Unfortunately, post-independence tertiary education, science and technology, coupled with conventional extension and service delivery systems failed to transform the common person and youth.
For over 50 years now, Uganda has stagnated in subsistence agriculture, labile pastoralism and poverty, amidst an enviable abundant natural resource base, a potentially powerful budding private sector and; a burgeoning population of high-energy young people with exposure to 721 Public Investment Plan Vote: 136 Makerere University Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 51 Delivery of Tertiary Education high education.
Meanwhile, proliferating tertiary education institutions are fuelling mass unemployment, with eight out of every ten educated youth jobless and humiliated on the street.

A solution is urgent.

This is the genesis to the development of the SPEDA Model of skilling and creating business, wealth and employment.

The initiative is inspired by 7 years of systematic action research, seeking to understand systems, design and develop an appropriate systemic innovation and solution to these challenges.
Objectives: The broad objective of the project is promoting skills and innovations for Production, Employment and Development through integrated Animal vale chains and Industry (SPEDA) among school & post-secondary school leavers/graduates.

The specific objectives for this project are: 1.


To vocationalise Animal Sector Education Systems (VASES) so as to broaden and increase technological awareness and the capacity of the learner to engage in productive activities for becoming self–reliant through animal resources; 2.

To train and nurture post-secondary school leavers into entrepreneurs, technicians and community change agents in the animal industry; 3.
To equip school leavers with skills in processing and value addition in the animal industry sector.

4.

To develop appropriate infrastructure in support of VASES Link with the NDP: The SPEDA initiative is designed to address all the three education sector outcomes namely: Improved effectiveness and efficiency in delivery of the education services; Improved equitable access to education.
The MEME approach addresses the aspect of improved quality and relevancy of education at all levels Expected Outputs: The expected outputs of the project are: Newly constructed and rehabilitated structures at the Nakyesasa incubation center and the college that would pass out an average of 500 skilled and certified entrepreneurs and producers annually.

For this purpose, facilities at Nakyesasa farm and the college will be rehabilitated, equipped, expanded and upgraded into a prime strategic development and capacity building institution for the animal industry.

The process will entail implementing and upgrading multi-skills certificate and diploma training programs for secondary school leavers in strategic animal resource value chains, enterprises and technology development.
The planned skills training opportunities provided by the institution will respond to the strategic and practical skills requirements of the animal industry in Uganda, and will be harmonised to blend with relevant community, district, sub-regional, university and other tertiary institutional programs.

With Nakyesasa incubation centre as the fulcrum, the project will expand and integrate to four other regional satellite centres and nodes of transformation nationally.
The main focus at these centre will be to provide transformative skills for production, value additional and employment in the animal industry and agro entrepreneurship across the country and beyond.
The following industrial & development educational certificates (artisan & ordinary), diploma and degree programs were accredited in Phase I of this project and are already running both at the main campus and at the districts: • Integrated Dairy Industry and Business • Leather Industry and Business • Bee Industry and Business • Integrated Meat Industry and Business • Integrated Poultry Industry and Business • Integrated Pig Industry and Business • Integrated Fish Industry and Business • Integrated Feeds Industry and Business • Wildlife Industry and Business • Companion Animal Industry and Business • Lab Science Education and Industry (special affirmative action in support of science education in secondary schools) The project will continue financing the rehabilitation and expansion of facilities at the current Nakyesasa to eventually turn it into a regional hub/centre for Skilling and Creating Business, Wealth and Employment.
It will also support mobilization, piloting and enhancement of skills at the districts.

The actual amount and cost of work to be undertaken at the farm shall be determined by technical needs assessment exercise that will be carried out.

The explicit aim was to train human resource in science and technology to facilitate the development of the country through a community oriented education approach directed towards the prevailing and emerging needs within Uganda and beyond.

The current MUST campus is located 267 km along Kampala – Kabale highway, within Mbarara Municipality, however the main university campus is planned and being developed at Kihumuro, 7 km on Mbarara Bushenyi Road.
The Master plan for development of the campus have been developed to cater for the expansion of the university.

The current MUST campus currently occupies plots 8-18, along Kabale road measuring 10.52 Hectares and plots 10-24 lower circular road measuring 10.3 hectares and has almost been exhausted of organized expansion.

The Kihumuro main campus development was planned for 10 years and estimated at Shs 130.000bn, however given the limited resources of about shs.
3.799bn from GoU, the project development will take much longer (34 years) to completion.

The proposed expansion of MUST at Kihumuro is aimed at increasing the absorption capacity of students from Universal Secondary Education over and above the current 27% student enrolment for science and technology programmes at both public and private universities.
In line with her development plan, the first three faculties of Medicine, Science, and Development Studies are now operational; and the Institutes of Computer Science and Tropical Forest Conservation are also in place.

The establishment of the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology at Kihumuro is the university priority, to complete its spectrum of training human resource in Science and Technology.
So far the construction works for the FAST block is almost complete but requires installation of Lifts and construction of Laboratories.

The Laboratories construction works are to be funded by the ADB-HEST Project.

MUST has therefore set priorities to address key factors inhibiting its growth by developing adequate infrastructure to 726 Public Investment Plan Vote: 137 Mbarara University Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 51 Delivery of Tertiary Education support its growth.
Coupled with the development of infrastructure for the already existing faculties, the university is mandated to teaching science and technology by establishing the Faculty of Applied Science and Technology to complete its spectrum.

With the introduction of new programmes and growth of the university population, the present premises at Mbarara can no longer meet the functions and spatial requirements of a modern University of science and technology.
MUST is therefore embarking on development of its main campus at Kihumuro.

The relocation of the main MUST campus to Kihumuro has however been impeded by inadequate funding from the government.

Objectives: The project is aimed at increasing access to university education with particular emphasis on science and technology education and its application to rural development.

This followed the recommendation by National Council for Higher Education in June 2015.

The University was established as a model for Health Sciences as its Niche with its main campus located at Ayere Village, Barapwo Parish, Lira Sub-County in Lira District in Lango Sub-Region seating on varsity land covering 621 acres.
Initially before her inception, Lira University started as a constituent College beginning August 2009 when the Gulu University Council appointed a Technical Task Force Management Committee to kick start Gulu University Constituent College Lira and consequently commenced on the 1st September 2009 culminating to admitting the first cohort of students in 2012/13 academic year.
The location of this campus puts the University at a competitive advantage point for development in Uganda specifically, Northern Uganda in particular, Southern Sudan, as well as in Eastern, Central and North Africa regions.

In the context of Uganda, the campus is located in a pen urban but a rural setting just 10 km off Lira Municipal Council along Lira - Kamdini road with potential to spur development and transform lives of the people for a better Healthy Community.
The University exists to provide high standard training, engaged in providing access to Quality Higher Education, Research and Conduct Professional Training for the Delivery of appropriate Health Services directed towards Sustainable Health Community and Environment.
To this end, the University being majorly Applied Science and Technology based, it aims at producing more skills in Healthy Science and Technology to respond to the increased demand from the labor market and promoting the development of a knowledge-based economy by providing solutions to community Health problems.
Strategic areas of study at the University are: Healthy Sciences (Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (4 years), Bachelor of Science in Public (3 years) and Bachelor of Community Psychology and Psychotherapy 738 Public Investment Plan Vote: 301 Lira University Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 07 51 Delivery of Tertiary Education (3 years).

Management Sciences (Bachelor of Business Administration (3 years), Bachelor of Public Administration (3 years) and Bachelor of Commerce (3 years).
All programmes offered at the main campus require heavy investment given the fact that Lira University is an infant University.

In addition the nature of the University being Healthy Science model and taking in account that the University is starting without the necessary infrastructure, there is dire need for heavy funding to acquire them.

 Completion Date: Background: 9.298 0.000 01/07/2015 30/06/2020 Following the political, economic and social events of the 1970‟s and 1980‟s, the state of the health system was severely damaged with dilapidated and poorly maintained structures.
As a result, concerted effort is required to improve the quality and availability of health infrastructure throughout the country.

With the development of the health sector strategic plan and the concept of health sub districts, new structures is required to strengthen the district level health services and to bring the health system closer to the people.

For some of the infrastructural expenditure e.g equipment, it is more economically efficient to purchase the required hardware at the center.
This reaps economies of scale and ensures that standards of equipment purchased are regulated across the sector.

Thus this project was created to cater for such expenditures where by the center purchases equipment but the goods are then distributed to districts.

There is also need to undertake rehabilitation of districts and regional hospitals and this project conducts phased rehabilitation in line with available resources.
Objectives: The central objective of this project is to improve the infrastructure of the health system by purchasing essential equipment and undertaking rehabilitation of Regional and District health facilities.

Link with the NDP: The project contributes to objective 4 of the NDP which relates to increasing access to quality social services through provision and utilization of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services.
Specifically the project will strengthen health systems and ensure universal access to the Uganda National Minimum health Care Package (UNMHCP) in order to achieve the sector objectives to reduce morbidity and mortality from the major causes of ill health and premature death.
The project will improve three sector outcomes namely; increased deliveries in health facilities, children under one year old protected against life threatening diseases, availing adequate stocks of essential medicines and health supplies to facilities.

The National Health Systems should be able to deliver an effective, qualified and comprehensive medical care.

Appropriate training programs are crucial for improving the health of the populations, particularly of the most vulnerable groups.

For a long time there had been much emphasis on disease prevention and primary health care delivery.

This approach of “strengthening National Health Systems” in Africa has been unsatisfactory, as demonstrated by the major health indicators.
There is growing evidence of a dramatic increase of NCDs in developing countries, namely diabetes, cancers, cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases.

To approach this critical task, EMERGENCY promoted meetings with the Ministers of Health of several African Countries – including Uganda – that were prompted to discuss their views on healthcare in Africa.

In 2008, the 1st International Workshop “Building Medicine in Africa” was organized to discuss principles and strategies of intervention.
The major outcome of the meeting was the “Manifesto for a Human Rights based Medicine”, signed by all participating Countries.

This document defines the basic principles to shape health initiatives and orient the development of health systems: Equality, Quality and Social Responsibility (EQS).
780 Vote: 014 Ministry of Health Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 08 02 Health systems development Public Investment Plan During the 2nd International Workshop “Building Medicine in Africa” held in April 2009, a joint programme to develop a network of centres of excellence was identified as best strategy to develop health systems.

The project called “African Network of Medical Excellence (ANME)” was then designed.
During the 3rd Workshop hosted in Venice in October 2010, the most urgent health problems of the different participating countries were reviewed, and the initial priorities of the ANME intervention were identified.
The ANME aims at establishing a network of centres of excellence in Africa to provide high standards medical treatment through secondary and tertiary facilities, thus strengthening disease prevention and primary health care delivery, as well as providing highly specialised training to medical staff of all the Countries involved.

Each participating Country has identified a specific need in the health sector.
The Government of Uganda identified specialised paediatric surgery as a top priority in their Health strategic plans.

Objectives: The Overall Objective is to contribute to the development of health systems in African through the establishment in Uganda of a Teaching Hospital for paediatric surgery with a regional prospective The Specific Objectives include: 1.

To create a free of charge tertiary level facility that can become the referral centre for paediatric surgery at a regional level; 2.
To guarantee specialized paediatric surgical healthcare within a catchment area including Uganda and neighbouring countries; 3.

To ensure the capacity building of national medical staff.

Link with the NDP: The project is perfectly in line with the NDP II objectives stated under the chapter “Human capital development, sector “Health”.

Guesthouse for regional patients and relatives Achievements for FY 2015/16: In 2014, in agreement with designers, EMERGENCY realized a Mock-Up, a temporarily wall construction meant to test the materials on site and evaluate the design of the future hospital structure.

EMERGENCY contracted a Ugandan company to realize the Mock-up and imported Italian chemical materials to be tested with the local ones.
The sample wall is now finished and some tests are being executed in cooperation with the laboratory of Ministry of Works and Transports.

Preliminary test results were very positive.

EMERGENCY also identified a local partner required for the granting of the construction permit.

The studio FH Architects Ltd. (architect Felix Holland) in Kampala will be the local partner of Italian designers (RPBW and Tamassociati) as required by Ugandan law.
The studio will have a mandate to represent the Italian designers in the process of obtaining the construction permit from the Ugandan authorities.

The fund is aimed at acting as a catalyst to demonstrate to government that with little resources millions of people can be saved from morbidity and mortality due to sanitation and hygiene related illnesses through creation of awareness to demand, construct, use and sustain sanitation and hygiene facilities.

Key outputs include stopping of open defaecation by declaring village open defaecation free (ODF), 100% household latrine coverage and 100% adoption of handwashing practices.
It is expected that the government basing on the results achieved will prioritize and allocate funding for sanitation and hygiene promotion.
About 85% of the grant is channeled to the 30 districts as project funds through the normal channel for disbursement of funds to district.Although considerable progress has been made to address the low levels of sanitation and hygiene in Uganda through the development of national level policies, regulations and guidelines; establishment of the National Sanitation Working Group; signing of the MoU between implementing ministries at the centre etc, improvement in sanitation coverage has been slow, with latrine coverage at 69% hand washing at 25% .
This is largely a reflection of low demand for improved sanitation and hygiene among communities and households.

A number of initiatives have been undertaken to create demand, but because of limited funding their scope has been limited and they have not had significant impact.

The Uganda Sanitation Fund (USF) is a programme in Uganda through which financial support (grant) from the Global Sanitation Fund (GSF) is provided for work in sanitation and hygiene.
The GSF is a Trust Fund created by the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) that pools contributions from various donors to support larger numbers of poor people to attain sustainable access to basic sanitation and to adopt good hygiene practices.
The Government of Uganda will use the USF to scale up efforts to generate demand for improved sanitation and hygiene, and to strengthen the supply chain for appropriate sanitation products and services to meet the demand and to improve the environment for sanitation and hygiene service delivery.
Objectives: Overall objective is to contribute to reduction of morbidity and mortality rates due to sanitation and hygiene related 786 Public Investment Plan Vote: 014 Ministry of Health Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 08 04 Clinical and public health diseases among the people in the programme area through improved and sustainable access to basic sanitation facilities and adoption of good hygiene practices.

The health sector, with support from GAVI, carried out a rapid but comprehensive assessment of health systems barriers to immunization in Uganda in 2004.

Despite the improvements in health indicators, the health systems barriers assessment noted that there is still very low investment in health and other social services.
Some of the priorities as defined in the Health Sector Strategic Plan are either 797 Public Investment Plan Vote: 014 Ministry of Health Vote Public Investment Plan Vote Function: 08 05 Pharmaceutical and other Supplies unfunded or under-funded making it difficult to, universally; provide the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package (UNMHCP) including vaccination services.
During implementation of Health Sector Strategic Plan II (2005/6- 2009/10), however, it was observed that vaccine coverage went down from 89% to 80%.

Funding of critical Expanded Programme for Immunization (EPI) activities is a major system barrier.

Another system barrier that has been experienced is the general shortage of storage space at national, district and Health Sub-District levels.
This problem has been exacerbated by the creation of new districts in Uganda now totaling to 112 from 56 districts in 2005.

While some old districts may not have the storage space for vaccines and other medical supplies, the situation is quite critical in new districts that do not have any space at all for storing vaccines and other medical supplies; a situation that needs immediate attention.
The lack of storage space is also critical at national level where the EPI heavily relies on rented storage space for EPI dry consignments.

While the cold storage is adequate for routine immunization, one major concern however is that during mass immunization campaigns, cold storage space is not adequate: UNEPI therefore has to hire cold storage space as well.
A lot of financial resources, which would have been used for other EPI and health system logistics, are therefore being spent on hiring storage space.

Objectives: To contribute to the strengthening of the Ugandan health system for the purpose of delivering the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package, including immunization, in an efficient, equitable and sustainable manner for the reduction of morbidity and mortality in Uganda.
Link with the NDP: The project contributes to objective 4 of the NDP which relates to increasing access to quality social services through provision and utilization of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services.

Specifically the project will strengthen health systems and ensure universal access to the Uganda National Minimum health Care Package (UNMHCP) in order to achieve the sector objectives to reduce morbidity and mortality from the major causes of ill health and premature death.
The project will improve three sector outcomes namely; increased deliveries in health facilities, children under one year old protected against life threatening diseases, availing adequate stocks of essential medicines and health supplies to facilities.

Expected Outputs: 1)Improve the delivery of UNMHCP, including immunization through provision of staff accommodation, vaccines and medicines storage space in selected districts, transport and logistics at all levels in the health sector.
Improve coordination of GAVI supported activities through recruitment of additional staff.

2)Support the participation of communities in health care delivery and decision making through establishment, training and equipping of Village Health Teams.

3)Train health workers at HSD level to manage and utilize HMIS data for decision making and equip 35 newly created districts with computers and internate connectivity.
4)Strengthen capacity of the private sector to deliver immunization and other child health services through training and provision of cold chain equipment.

Adding more financial resources to the sector without addressing the leadership and management capacity gaps, is not likely to lead to service improvement.

The project was formulated in close collaboration with the MoH, and is in line with the ministry‟s priorities and strategic vision, as laid out in the second National Health Policy (focus on Health Systems Strengthening).

The project will support the implementation of the Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (HSSIP 2010/11 – 2014/15).
