description: In the engineering of complex systems, sophisticated risk assessments are often made within safety engineering and reliability engineering when it concerns threats to life, natural environment, or machine functioning. The agriculture, nuclear, aerospace, oil, railroad, and military industries have a long history of dealing with risk assessment ( Vamanu, et al 2016). Also, medical, hospital, social service. ( Lacey, 2011). it also involves documentation of the risk assessment and its findings, implementation of mitigation methods, and review of the assessment (or risk management plan), coupled with updates when necessary. Sometimes risks can be deemed acceptable, meaning the risk "is understood and tolerated . Usually because the cost or difficulty of implementing an effective counter measure for the associated vulnerability exceeds the expectation of loss ( Shirey, 2007) Benoit Mandelbrot ojects in Uganda have continued to impact the environment due to a number of reasons. One major reason is the lack of proper environmental impact assessments (EIAs) before the start of projects. Many development projects in Uganda do not undergo rigorous EIAs to determine their potential effects on the environment. For example, the construction of roads, dams, and industrial facilities often leads to deforestation, water pollution, and habitat destruction. Without proper EIAs, developers may not fully understand the long-term consequences of their projects on the environment.oor land use planning and management also play a role in the environmental degradation caused by projects in Uganda. Rapid urbanization and expanding agricultural activities have led to deforestation, soil degradation, and loss of biodiversity. Inadequate zoning regulations and land use policies contribute to haphazard development that encroaches on sensitive ecosystems and watersheds. For example, unplanned urban sprawl in Kampala has led to the destruction of wetlands and natural waterways.The research uses more of interviewing, hands on sampling and direct vist to the area to gather findings and draw hypothesisThis research will utilizea mixed-method approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Surveys will be conducted with key stakeholders involved in road projects in Uganda, including government officials, contractors, and consultants. In-depth interviews will also be conducted to gather detailed insights into the challenges faced during road project implementation.ResultsPreliminary findings suggest that a lack of coordination among government agencies, frequent changes in project scope, and inadequate monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are significant contributors to the delays in road projects in Uganda. Additionally, corruption and inefficiencies in the procurement process have also been identified as key factors prolonging project timelines.Discussion,Alot of Discussion were carried out with NFA , government and all other stake holders to ensure that such projects don't contradict with environmental work and projects but the findings identifiedDiscussionThe findings of this research highlight the complex nature of road construction projects in Uganda and the various challenges that contribute to delays. Addressing these challenges will require a multi-faceted approach, including improved project planning, increased funding, enhanced project management practices, and greater transparency and accountability in the procurement process.Benefits ofCase studyCase study of t he construction of the Entebbe Expressway in Uganda has had a significant negative impact on the natural environment surrounding the area. discussion ten key reasons why the expressway has been detrimental to the environment.XYK are other factors moving normally in an economy when other factors are constant due to government interference equilibrium points are attained hence observing losses .positive losses and negative.Reference ListKiggundu, J.
