1. “Uganda-UK Business Forum 6-7 May 2014” Investment Opportunities In the Works and Transport Sector A Presentation by: Hon. Abraham Byandala  Minister of Works and Transport of Uganda 6th-7th May 2014

2. Background • Africa still has a great need for basic infrastructure as connectivity between regions is lacking; • With the current efforts for East African region integration, there is a great need for regional infrastructure projects; • Access to Transport, Energy, and Water in East Africa is still inadequate; • Transport infrastructure is the least developed yet it is Vital for Economic Growth.

3. Current Strategies • Sound planning is the key to effective implementation; • Government policy is for private sector to lead; • New technologies will deliver cost savings; • Focus on major regional/ trading corridors; • Continue management reforms that have been underway since the late 1990’s; • Provide specially focussed support to the Primary Growth Sectors of Oil and Gas, Agriculture and Tourism.

4. Oil Sector3 Main production areas • A reliable Transport system is required to support:- • Import of Oil Production Plant and Equipment – from seaport(s); • Movement of materials for construction – from Uganda and Region; • Movement of workers; • Movement of consumables for workforce.

5. Agriculture Sector • Contributes 20% of GDP; • Accounts for 48% of exports; • Employs 73% of country’s population. • Investment in Transport will: • Increase productivity in productive areas; • Open up new areas for production; • Improve export competitiveness.

6. Investment in Roads to: • Access Parks from Kampala/Entebbe • Link Parks with each other • Provide access within parks (unpaved) Tourism Sector Improved Local Access Improved ‘Circuit’ Tourist Road Projects

7. Key Projects in the Transport Sector • Construction of the Standard Railway Gauge on regional corridor routes; • Increasing capacity of Air Transport; • Revitalisation of Lake transport (Construction of Bukasa Port); • Development of Regional Road Transport corridors and Bankable PPP Road Projects; • Development of Public Transport System.
