The project will also increase agricultural supply chain efficiency in the districts of Kabale, Rubanda and Kisoro.

    The project encompasses the construction of four landing sites on Lake Bunyonyi, at least 1,000 streetlights at all the trading centers through which the road passes, two ferries, as well as search center boats kitted with navigational aids. Complement Industrial centers, and sanitary facilities to support women and youth peddlers. It will also finance power supply in Bwama Island on Lake Bunyonyi to some 10,000 residents and include planting trees to improve forest blanket in the area.

    “The AfDB will continue to support the government and people of Uganda to achieve the country’s development objectives,” AfDB Uganda Country Manager Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan said. “The Bank is currently working with the government and other stakeholders to develop a new five-year country strategy paper that will continue to prioritize transformative interventions, especially in the transport sector.”
