International airport The Uganda CAA has plans to renovate and improve the airport by lengthening the runway to 8,210 feet (2,500 m). The runway will also be widened to 146 feet (45 m). The surface will be converted to tarmac. A terminal building and aircraft fuel storage facilities will be constructed. A control tower will be erected. Customs and Immigration facilities will also be installed as well as cargo storage warehouses. As of October 2008, the construction plans have been approved and construction will begin as soon as the tenants on the land adjacent to the airport have been relocated. After all the renovations, Kasese Airport will be transformed into the "Kasese International Airport". In 2010, the CAA awarded a contract to Gauff Consultants Limited for consultancy services for the redevelopment of preliminary master plans and detailed engineering designs for Gulu Airport for a price of about UGX:359 million (approx. US$217,000). In July 2013, Ugandan print media indicated that renovations and upgrades were expected to begin in mid-2014. In November 2014, at a regional tourism conference in Kampala, President Museveni "confirmed Uganda has finalized plans to construct Kasese International Airport".

Kiira Hydroelectric Power Station

Kiira Hydroelectric Power Station is a hydroelectric power station in Uganda, with an installed capacity of 200 megawatts (270,000 hp). Location The power station is located at Kimaka, a northern suburb of Jinja, in Jinja District, in the Eastern Region of Uganda, approximately 5.5 kilometres (3 mi) northwest of the central business district of the city of Jinja. Kiira Power Station operates next to the Nalubaale Power Station at the point where the River Nile pours out of Lake Victoria, starting its 6,650 kilometres (4,130 mi) journey to the Mediterranean Sea. The coordinates of Kiira Hydroelectric Power Station are: 0°27'01.0"N, 33°11'08.0"E (Latitude:0.450272; Longitude:33.185558). History In 1993, work started on the Nalubaale Power Station extension project. The new project is a second powerhouse located about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) northeast of the Nalubaale Power Station, which was built in 1954. A new canal was cut to bring water from Lake Victoria to the new powerhouse. Major construction was completed in 1999. The first electricity generated from two units out of the installed five units, came online in 2000. As of 2003, three of the five hydro power generators had been installed. Installation of the fifth and final turbine was completed in January 2007. Each unit at the extension has a capacity of 40 megawatts. During official opening ceremonies in 2003, the extension was named the "Kiira Power Station". Design and project management of the extension project was by Acres International (now part of Hatch Ltd), Canada. Operations In 2002, the government of Uganda, through the Uganda Electricity Generation Company, a 100 percent parastatal, awarded a 20-year operational, management, and maintenance concession to Eskom Uganda Limited, a subsidiary of Eskom, the South African energy company, to cover both Kiira Power Station and nearby Nalubaale Power Station. Eskom sold the electricity it generated to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL), the authorized single buyer. UETCL resold the power to Umeme, the energy distributor. The 20-year concession with Eskom for both dams expired on 31 March 2023 and was not renewed. Effective 1 April 2023, Uganda Electricity Generation Company Limited (UEGCL) took over the management of the power stations and absorbed 93 percent of Eskom Uganda staff. Recent developments In April 2021, the Daily Monitor newspaper reported that Eskom Uganda, the concessionaire for this dam had replaced the "electronic governor", which "controls the flow of water through the turbines". The system controls the rate of water flow and thus the amount of power output by the dam. This equipment was last replaced in 2007 and "had reached the end of its operational life". The new equipment was manufactured and installed by Andrtiz Hydro GmbH and has a guaranteed life cycle of 15 years. The equipment cost USh5 billion (approx. US$1.4 million) (approx. €1.15 million), paid by Eskom Uganda.

Kiwoko Hospital

Kiwoko Hospital is a private community hospital, in the Central Region of Uganda. The hospital is affiliated with the Church of Uganda. Location The hospital is located in the town of Kiwoko, in Nakaseke District. Kiwoko is in the Luweero Triangle, about 77 kilometres (48 mi), by road, north-west of Mulago National Referral Hospital, in Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The geographical coordinates of Kiwoko Hospital are: 0°50'23.0"N, 32°21'40.0"E (Latitude:0.839722; Longitude:32.361111). Overview Kiwoko Hospital is a 250-bed community hospital administered by the Church of Uganda through the Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau. The hospital is operated with donations made to the Friends of Kiwoko Hospital. When the hospital was founded in 1991, Kiwoko was in the Luweero District. However, when Nakaseke District was carved out of Luweero District in 2005, Kiwoko went with Nakaseke District. Kiwoko, however, remains in the Luweero Triangle, which roughly corresponds to the area covered by present-day Luweero District and Nakaseke District or Luweero District alone, before the split. History In 1988 Ian Clarke, a general practitioner from Bangor in Northern Ireland, traveled to Uganda with his young family with the intention of starting a community-based health care program. Initial work was done in partnership with the Kasana Orphanage. Upon the death of an expatriate visitor to the area, Barbara Kelly, a memorial fund was established in her name, raising an initial £25,000. That initial donation enabled construction to start on the first permanent building. Two years later, and through continued donations, the Barbara Kelly Memorial Hospital was completed. Kiwoko Hospital, as it was later renamed, was formally opened in September 1991 by the then vice president of Uganda, the Samson Kisekka. In 1997, the hospital established a partnership with Adara Development. In November 2001 the hospital celebrated its tenth anniversary, and boasted over 220 beds, a laboratory, a laboratory assistant training school, a nurse training school, and an active community-based health care programme. In November 2021, as the hospital celebrated 30 years of existence, the Ministry of Health of Uganda recognized its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a centre of excellence in newborn health in Uganda.

Kyadondo Rugby Club

Kyadondo Rugby Club is a rugby union ground in Kampala, Uganda. Kyadondo Rugby Club was officially opened in 2000 and has since become a major hub for Ugandan rugby, home to several prominent teams and a center for community and international events. Facilities include the main ground, a training pitch and a club house. The ground is home to several club teams, among them Heathens RFC, a leading rugby club in Uganda. The venue has also hosted home games of the Uganda national rugby union team, but the Uganda Rugby Union is considering hosting games at the National Stadium or Nakivubo Stadium due to limited capacity of Kyadondo. The club has also been a concert venue, witnessing performers such as Beenie Man. History July 2010 Kampala attacks Kyadondo Rugby Club was one of the two scenes of the July 2010 Kampala attacks carried out against crowds watching a screening of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final. The second attack, consisting of two explosions in quick succession, occurred at 11:18 pm at Kyadondo Rugby Club, where state-run newspaper New Vision was hosting a screening of the match. According to eyewitnesses, there was an explosion near the 90th minute of the match, followed seconds later by a second explosion that knocked out the lights at the field. An explosion went off directly in front of a large screen that was showing the telecast from South Africa, killing 49 people. The discovery of a severed head and leg at the rugby field suggests that it was a suicide attack carried out by an individual. A third unexploded vest was later found. Founding and early years (1999–2000s) The club was built and officially opened in 1999–2000 to provide a dedicated rugby ground in Kampala. It quickly grew to host numerous games, training sessions, and social events, becoming a significant symbol of the sport in Uganda. Home to top teams and development programs Kyadondo rugby community is a home to six competitive Rugby Teams for example Heathens, Buffaloes, Thunderbirds(women's senior team), Stallions, Bisons and Peacocks a Rugby Academy, Totos Rugby to the Wazee Rugby. The club has a strong focus on nurturing new talent through programs like the Kyadondo Rugby Academy, Totos Rugby (under 12s), and the Wazee Rugby (over 35s), often collaborating with initiatives like the Tag Rugby Trust. Resilience and growth Following the attacks, the club demonstrated resilience, recovering to continue hosting major shows and events. It has hosted home games for the Uganda national rugby union team and major tournaments like the Kyadondo 7s circuit, which the Thunderbirds women's team made history by hosting in 2024.

Lake Opeta

Lake Opeta is a lake with an extensive wetland system in Uganda. The wetland lies south of the Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve and serves as a dry-season refuge for both wildlife from the park and domestic cattle of the surrounding Karamajong and Pokot people. Hydrology Lake Opeta is primarily fed by rainfall on Mount Elgon and drains into Lake Kyoga via Lake Bisina. It is surrounded by an extensive swamp and floodplain. Conservation Lake Opeta is one of Uganda's 33 Important Bird Areas and since 2006 a Ramsar-listed wetland of international importance. A Biodiversity and Eco-Tourism Centre funded by the Global Environmental Facility and UNDP serves the lake. Lake Opeta and its surrounding swamps are located in eastern Uganda, 25 km north-east of Kumi town. The Ramsar site stands 1,050 m above sea level and covers an area of 68,913 hectares. The wetland system represents the easternmost part of the Lake Kyoga basin. It occupies an extensive floodplain between the Lake Bisina Ramsar Site (which it drains towards Lake Kyoga) to the west and the base of Mount Elgon, a massive extinct volcanic massif, to the south-east. The Lake Opeta wetlands marks the southern limits of the vast, arid region of Karamoja which extends along Uganda's eastern flank between Mount Elgon and the distant Sudan border, nearly 300 km to the north. Birds Fox's weaver, Uganda's only endemic bird species, is known to inhabit the wetland, as do the globally threatened vulnerable shoebill, near-threatened papyrus gonolek, and 160 other species.
