FOREWORD
I hereby present the Annual Performance Report (ASPR) for the Department for the Works
and Transport Sector for Financial Year 2019/20. The report highlights both the financial
and physical performance as well as challenges faced by the Sector during the financial year
2019/20. The report provides an opportunity to stakeholders to reflect on performance of the
Sector and to learn from what has not been done well and what may need to be addressed so
as to achieve the set targets in the future.
During the Financial Year, the sector registered improved performances in the different
subsectors. For example, under the road subsector, national road network in fair to good
condition was 84% for paved roads and 77% for unpaved roads against the NDPII target of
82% and 66% respectively.
The Air subsector was the most affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, prior to the
closure of the airports due to COVID-19 Pandemic, passenger transits and revenue collections
from Uganda Airlines Company Limited were steadily increasing. The number of passengers
had reached 77,355 while the revenue collected from the passengers had reached UG.Shs
26.668Bn between August 19th 2019 and 20th March 2020. The airline acquired the last batch
(2 No.) of the CRJ900 aircrafts. The overall progress on the expansion and modernization of
Entebbe International Airport was at 73% while construction works for the development of
Kabaale International Airport in Hoima district was at 42.7% against a target of 50%.
Overall, the sector attained at least 80% on more than half of the Sector performance targets
as measured against the Sector Golden indicators. The performance was generally affected
by the lock down occasioned by the COVID-19 Pandemic and lack of an adequate budget to
implement the planned outputs.
Lastly, on the behalf of the Government of Uganda, I express gratitude to the Development
Partners, Civil Society Organizations and the Private Sector for the support extended to the
Sector during the previous Financial Year. I thank all the staff for the work done during the
Financial Year 2019/20.
For God and My Country
Hon. Gen. Katumba Wamala

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introdution
This Annual Sector Performance Report (ASPR) provides a record of the overall Works
&Transport Sector performance for the financial year 2019/20. It gives a management record
of the sector progress towards achieving the Ministerial Policy statement for the FY 2019/20.
It also highlights the key sector indicator measurement and analysis for FY 2019/20 and the
performance trend of key sector indicators over the last six years. It further enumerates
the key challenges affecting performance in the sector. The key indicators measured include
the Golden Indicators which were agreed within the sector for results-based management,
the Government Annual Performance Report (GAPR) Indicators and the implementation
progress on 15th Joint Transport Sector Action Matrix.
Financial Performance
In the Financial Year 2019/20, the approved budget for the sector was UGX 6,126.668 Bn
representing 14.61% of the national Budget. UGX 622.97 Bn (10.17%) was for recurrent
expenditure and UGX 5503.684 Bn (89.83%) was for development expenditure. The Government
of Uganda contribution was UGX 3294.327bn representing 55.77%. The Development
partners contributed UGX 2,832.341 Bn representing 46.23%. Budget performance release
was UGX 4528.592Bn (73.92%). The big drop in the release was in the external financing
which was 48.5% for Ministry of Works and Transport and 37.28% for UNRA respectively.
This was due the low performance level for external financing under Multinational Lake
Victoria Maritime Communication and Transport, Development of new Kampala Port in
Bukasa and Development of Kabaale Airport under Ministry of Works and Transport due
to the lengthy procurement process for the boats, RAP implementation challenges and the
Covid 19 pandemic that affected project progress respectively. While for UNRA it was due
to MoFPED’s delay in finalizing the financing (loan) negotiations with China Exim Bank and
subsequent approval by Parliament. Therefore, UGX 717.5Bn which had been appropriated
to the Critical Oil roads was not made available to UNRA by the end of the year and UGX 325
billion which was allocated by MoFPED and appropriated to Kampala-Jinja Expressway was
not released because the project was still under preparation.

3.5 International Treaties and Co operations
In the area of regional transport cooperation, the principal treaties ratified by Uganda are:
i) The “Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community (EAC)”.
Among other provisions, this treaty proposes a customs union in which internal tariffs
are abolished and non-tariff barriers are eliminated. In the transport sector it provides
for the elimination of non-physical barriers to road transport and the non-discrimination
between carriers of member states. The EAC agreed also on tariff setting, schedules and
safety issues for the water cargo transport on Lake Victoria.
ii) The “Treaty for the Establishment of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa
(COMESA)”.
Under this treaty, member states are required to develop coordinated transport and
communications policies. In addition, it provides for the measures to ensure common
procedures for the harmonization of road transit charges, similar treatment to the carriers
of all member states and the promotion of cost-effectiveness through competition.
Uganda is an active member of COMESA and has supported all the initiatives aimed at
strengthening integration in the region.
iii) The “Northern Corridor Transit Agreement” between Burundi, the Democratic Republic
of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
The provisions of this agreement are mainly concerned with facilitating the transit of
goods traffic and the similar treatment of carriers of all member states.
iv) Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations (UN) is the universal platform for global normative debate and consensus-
building on global policy issues, including the economic, social and environmental dimensions
of sustainable development. UN adopted a global Post-2015 Development Agenda, which
includes a comprehensive set of 17 universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), together
with 169 specific development targets.
The SDGs provide comprehensive global policy guidance for all United Nations Member
States. Transport provides essential means to stimulate socio-economic activities and to
promote development including the eventual achievement of the SDGs. The efficient, reliable,
affordable, safe, accessible, and environmentally friendly transport of passengers and goods
is indeed key to the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

5.0 MINISTRY OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT (VOTE 016)
5.1 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
For the Financial year 2019/20, the approved budget for Vote 016 was UGX 1,655.864 Bn.
The total amount released by the end of June 2020 was UGX 1,159.158 Bn representing 70%
of the approved annual budget. The low release was due no releases in quarter four because
of the Corona Virus pandemic.
The total GoU release performed at 84.1% of the approved budget while the External
financing performed at 48.5% of the approved budget. The low performance level for external
financing was under Multinational Lake Victoria Maritime Communication and Transport,
Development of new Kampala Port in Bukasa and Development of Kabaale Airport due to the
lengthy procurement process for the boats, RAP implementation challenges and the Covid
pandemic breakdown that affected project progress respectively. Table 7 shows the budget
breakdown in terms of the release and expenditure for the financial year 2019/20

Budget Absorption: By the end of June 2020; 100% of the released fund under GoU component
had been spent while only 44.5% of the external financing had been spent. The low budget
absorption under external financing was due to low performance level under Multinational
Lake Victoria Maritime Communication and Transport, Development of the new Kampala
Port in Bukasa and Development of Kabaale Airport due to the lengthy procurement process
for the boats, RAP implementation challenges and the Covid pandemic breakdown that
affected project progress respectively. Overall, 84.8% of the funds released had been spent by
the end of June 2020.

recruited thirteen (13) were new entrants and 19 were promoted. The underperformance
was due to delay in the recruitment process, insufficient wage and the outbreak of Covid19
which halted government business for five months.
The department of finance and administration was able to achieve the following key outputs
besides the routine out puts:
(a) The ministry communication strategy was implemented through short documentaries,
field visits with the media, talk shows, media briefings and newspaper supplements.
(b) All projects and programmes were audited and reports made in the first, second and third
quarter. Projects and programmes were not audited in Q4 due to the Covid 19 lock down.
5.3 CHALLENGES
The following challenges were experienced during the FY
a) Inadequate budget for projects and activities (e.g undertaking the development of the
inland water master plan, Census of government buildings, some force Account road
rehabilitation projects like Nambweke - Bushabala – Buhunya (7.9km) road in Busia,
Angola - Pukurotho – Katerema(7.0km) in Tororo, Budaka - Iki-Iki(12.3 km) in Busia
, Opiko – Kalapata (6.0km) in Bukedea, Mbonjera-Mbulambuturo-Gatare-Foto Kigezi
(12.km) in Kisoro, Katatenga-Rwidoga (2.5km) in Rakai etc)
b) Licensing and registration of water vessels was affected by limitations to travel caused
by Covid 19.
c) Interruption by country wide lockdown as a result of corona virus which affected
achieving the planned targets e.g in force account projects, trainings for crew and
pilots that are done out of Uganda, Road Crash data base activities planned for Q4 etc.
d) Land related issues that attracted compensation affected rehabilitation of roads under
force account e.g Ibanda-Kisara-Mukabara road(8.8km) in Kikube etc
e) Delays in procurement of the contractor to undertake dredging, Piling and Swamp
surcharging works at Bukesa port.

6.0 PERFORMANCE OF UGANDA NATIONAL ROADS AUTHORITY:

VOTE 113
UNRA is appropriated a budget for its recurrent and development activities from Government
of Uganda (GoU) with the support of the Development Partners under Vote 113. The
development budget is mainly utilised for the planning, design, rehabilitation, improvement
and upgrading of the national road network. The recurrent budget is utilised for wages to
staff and the organisational operational or administration costs. In addition, UNRA receives
funds from the Uganda Road Fund specifically for the maintenance and operation of the
National Road Network. The total approved budget for FY 2019/20 was UGX 4.289 trillion
compared to UGX 3.4429 trillion in FY 2018/19. Table 11 shows a summary of the funds
received last FY and the performance on the overall budget.

FY2019/20
6.1.3 DEVELOPMENT
UNRA receives funding for road development through two sources that is; GoU and External
Financing.
6.1.3.1 GOU FINANCED
For the FY19/20, a total of 1,744.55 Bn was approved for the Development GoU budget, out of
which UGX 1,727.45 Bn (99.02%) was released. Out of the cumulative release of UGX 1,727.45
Bn, UNRA spent UGX 1,727.23 Bn by end of the FY representing 99.99% of the releases spent.
6.1.3.2 EXTERNALLY FINANCED
A total of UGX 2,176.06Bn was appropriated for external financing under FY 2019/20 of
which UGX 811.29 Bn was cumulatively released by end of FY representing 37.28% of the
appropriation released. The budget included appropriations of UGX 1.1 trillion (50%) which
could not be spent within the year:
o UGX 717.5 billion was appropriated to the Critical Oil roads, yet MoFPED was still
finalising the negotiations with China Exim and approval by Parliament. The funds
were not made available to UNRA by the end of the year;
o UGX 325 billion was allocated by MoFPED and appropriated to Kampala-Jinja

Expressway, a project which is still under preparation.
This means that UNRA’s externally financed budget, excluding the two above misappropria-
tions, was UGX 1 trillion, of which 43% was absorbed. Other reasons for the low absorption
of the external financing component include:
o UGX 150 billion was allocated to projects under procurement, whose contracts were
signed after the close of the FY;
o A few projects suffered slow progress due to the extended heavy rains and the
lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic while NERAMP did not disburse (UGX 123
billion) due to the suspension of works to allow the contractor rectify the safeguards
management on the project.
6.2.1 PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE SECTOR INDICATORS
6.2.1.1 Golden Indicator 1: Condition of The Road Network
The measurement of the road condition is by the International Roughness Index (IRI). Rough-
ness is a good indicator of the condition of the road because it affects the level of service in
terms of the riding quality, speed and cost of vehicle operation and maintenance. The con-
dition of the roads is a Key Performance Indicator that is used internationally for the roads
system. It refers to the structure, roughness and unevenness of the road. Golden Indicator 1
is: “% of the roads network in fair-to-good condition”.

The trends in the improvements in the condition of the national paved roads are as shown
in the Figure 2. Figure 2 depicts that paved roads in good condition have increased over the
past 6 years however in comparisons to this FY there was a reduction. In the FY 2019/20
the national roads network in fair to good condition was 84% for paved roads and 77% for
unpaved roads.

6.2.1.2 Golden Indicator 2: Paved Roads Stock
Road Development – Upgrading to Paved Bituminous
The paved roads refer to roads having an all-weather bituminous surface. The stock is
measured by computing the number of completed kilometres of gravel roads upgraded
to bitumen standard or new roads constructed to bitumen standard. Currently 24 road
upgrading projects (new construction and upgrading from paved bituminous standards)
covering a total length of 1,692 Km. At the beginning of the year, these were at various
stages of construction or physical progress. The annual increase in physical progress for all
the projects was assessed to be equivalent to 310 Km as the total construction output within
the FY 2019/20.

6.2.1.3 Golden Indicator 3: Road Construction/Maintenance Cost
This indicator assesses the per Km costs of the different road development and maintenance
interventions undertaken on the National Road Network. These interventions have been
categorised as follows:
(i) Upgrading gravel roads to bitumen standards (tarmac).
(ii) Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of paved roads that have outlived their design
life. Works involve removal or reuse of base layers, improvement of alignment,
earthworks, and compaction and new surface bitumen layers. Rehabilitation of
paved roads that are in poor condition which involves removal or reuse of base
layers, re-compaction and new surface bitumen layers.
(iii) Under periodic maintenance for paved roads, the sections of the network are re-
resealed or over layed to prolong the lifespan of the road. There are no major
improvements to the base layers. For unpaved roads, periodic maintenance
consists of road re-grading and re-gravelling covering a lifecycle of 2-3 years.
Mechanised routine maintenance, on the other hand, involves spot re-gravelling
and grading of the bad sections/spots
(iv) Routine maintenance activities comprise of recurrent maintenance activities for

both paved and unpaved roads intended to keep the road clean, safe and protected
from damage of aggressive weather, environment, vandalism and loading.
This involves pothole patching, crack sealing, edge repairs using mechanised
compaction, drainage cleaning etc.

The average construction cost for upgrading roads to paved standard with bituminous surface
treatment during the FY 2019/20 was UGX 3.41 Bn per kilometre as compared to UGX 3.1 Bn
per kilometre in FY 2018/19 and UGX 2.36 Bn per kilometre in FY 2017/18. This cost excludes
the cost of land acquisition, which is shown in the Table 15. This is because the value of land
is dependent on many factors which may not be easily benchmarked among projects or even
road sections in different geographical locations.
The average cost of reconstruction/rehabilitation of the paved roads was UGX 2.16 Bn per
kilometre as compared to UGX 1.8 Bn per kilometre for FY 2018/19 and UGX 1.96 Bn per
kilometre in FY 2017/18. During the reconstruction, the entity uses the opportunity to
improve the geometry and structure of the existing roads, which makes the cost higher than
it, would have been for only reinstating their serviceability. Table 16 shows the cost/Km for
construction and rehabilitation project

6.2.1.4 Golden Indicator 4: Road Maintenance Needs Met
This indicator measures the maintenance budget relative to road maintenance requirements/
needs and it considers the percentage of annual road maintenance needs for funding. The
road maintenance needs for the FY 2019/20 totalled to UGX 596 Bn similar to that of FY
2018/19. A total of UGX 270 Bn was appropriated however, UGX 282.17 Bn was released. The
release represented 47.3% of the annual maintenance needs funded compared to the 52.4%
in the FY 2018/19.
FY2019/20
53
Releases for Maintenance-URF were higher than the appropriated budget due to additional
funding for the emergency works undertaken to address network cut-offs by the heavy
rains during the year. Underfunding of road maintenance is partly responsible for the road
maintenance backlog because the maintenance regime is not being followed. Table 19 show
the funding requirement vis-à-vis amount provide for road maintenance.

6.2.1.5 Golden Indicator 5: Expenditure On National Road Maintenance Relative to Overall

Budget
The overall budget allocated to UNRA for FY 2019/20 was UGX 4,289.07 Bn, out of which UGX
270 Bn was allocated to the Road Maintenance Programme. Road development still takes the
biggest share of the budget, at 91.4% compared to 88% in FY 2018/19 while road maintenance
takes a meagre 6.3% of the total budget compared to 9% in FY 2018/19. This imbalance is
resulting in unsustainable development of the network while the backlog maintenance is
growing and will result in higher replacement costs of the road asset in future.

Ferry Operations
The ten (10) ferries at Kiyindi, Mbulamuti, Masindi Port, Laropi, Obongi, Kyoga 1, Kyoga 2,
Nakiwogo and Bisina were operational and registered 95% adherence to scheduled trips. Ferry
utilization fell from 99% in the FY 2018/19 to 82 % in the FY 2019/20 due to the COVID-19
lockdown that put restrictions on private transport.
MV Sigulu Ferry that will connect Namayingo district to the Islands of Lolwe & Sigulu will
provide safe means of transport to the communities of Namayingo, Lolwe and Sigulu Islands.
Ferry construction was completed and handed over to UNRA. However, high water levels
submerged the temporary landing sites hence delay in actual operation

Environment and Social Safeguards
UNRA endeavours to identify and evaluate environmental and social risks, and impacts of
road/bridge and ferry projects in accordance with national laws and development partners’
requirements. Appropriate safeguards mechanisms are put in place to ensure that adverse
effects resulting from the project activities are eliminated or minimised.
The Green Right of Way (GROW) tree planting project was launched in March 2017 on the
Northern Bypass as part of the environmental restoration activities on all road reserves.

- Mubende, Jinja – Kamuli, Kabale - Katuna among others. With 23 nurseries across the
country, UNRA intends to plant over 10 million trees on the national network over the next
2 years. In addition, treebanks have been established in 19 UNRA Stations with 139,058 trees.
Building The Local Construction Capacity
In FY 2019/20, Contracts worth UGX 306.530 Bn were awarded to local or resident providers
in accordance with the PPDA Guidelines for Reservation schemes for promoting local content.
This represents 25% by value of the contracts signed in the FY, down from 28% in FY 2018/19
but higher than the 24% in the FY 2017/18. However, the entire 25% was only for reservation
by threshold and there was no service provided under the subcontracting component. There
was a reduction in the total amount awarded under the reservation scheme from 737 Bn to
306.5 Bn in FY 2018/19 however, this was also seen in the overall amount of signed contracts
from 2.2 Tr to 1.2 Tr.
This breakdown of the contracts signed and includes reservation by threshold and sub-
contracting is shown in the Table 31:

Table 32: Status of Registration of Engineers
6.3 CHALLENGES FACED DURING THE FY 2019/20
i) The Covid-19 pandemic greatly affected UNRA’s ability to achieve the set targets. Several
of UNRA’s activities such as road construction were affected by the lockdown and
partial lockdown. Activities like land acquisition were halted while projects continued
to be implemented under very strict Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs). The result
of this has been a delay in progress with some contractors giving the notice to claim for
extension of time or cost.
ii) The heavy and long rainy season resulted in:
o the slow progress of the construction projects;
o Several cut-offs which required emergency interventions to reinstate the road
sections;
o The rapid deterioration of the condition of the roads, reducing the service level and
increasing the urgent need for periodic maintenance and rehabilitation of some
road sections;
iii) The financing for the road development programme remains constrained and not in
harmony with the five-year plan. This distorted effort to prepare and implement the
NDPII as was envisaged.
iv) A rigid Public Finance Management Act which does not allow flexibility in utilisation of
funds to drive the development programme.
v) The road maintenance budget remains lower than the required, which makes providing
the desired level of service and response to emergencies which result in network cut-offs
a challenge and reduced ferry services.
FY2019/20
65
vi) UNRA’s operational budget has remained inadequate and the same over the years, despite
the increase in the development and maintenance programme, the increase in operation
and administrative costs and the increase in staff numbers. This has constrained the
ability of the organisation to effectively supervise its programmes.
vii) Procurement delays occasioned on the programme by the external stakeholders.
6.4 FUTURE PLANS
Roads and Bridges Development
During FY 2020/21, UNRA will construct 400 Km-equivalent for road upgrading projects
and substantially complete twelve road projects adding 383 Km to the stock of the national

Air traffic performance was promising to beat the target as up to the month of February
2020. All this was brought to near zero when the airport was shut down by government as a
way to contain the spread of Covid 19. Consequently, the performance of air passenger traffic
was below target averaging just above 70% of the projected levels. The drop in international
passenger traffic can be seen as of March 2020. Import cargo however, performed above
projection because cargo planes remained operational despite lockdown. Tables 41 show the
traffic performance at Entebbe International Airport as well as UCAA managed regional
airports.

7.4 CHALLENGES / CONSTRAINTS AND MEASURES
UCAA faced the following challenges / constraints during the FY;
• Increasing Government Debt most especially due to nonpayment of the UN

debt by
Government as promised.
• Outbreak of Covid-19: all international passenger flights in and out of Uganda were
suspended. This has adversely affected the authority’s revenue.
• The infrastructure is inadequate to cope with the current COVID-19 pandemic port
health requirements
• Inadequate funding for development of infrastructure in order to position EIA and
other priority airports to attract more regional and international airlines into the
country.
• Land requirements for future developments
• Lack of funding to commence the plan for operationalization of Hoima International
Airport, activities such as recruitment and training of technical staff and technical
studies-ETOD need have commenced.
• The process of promulgating of Regulations takes longer time that is not in
synchronization with the latest amendments of ICAO Standards i.e. ICAO standards
are amended annually
• Implementation of the established independent Aircraft Accident
Investigation (AIG) Unit at Ministry of Works and Transport, is taking
long
• Lack of an Appeals Tribunal for Civil Aviation negatively impacts on the resolution
of aviation safety concerns
• Lack of a Policy for Attraction and Retention of Aviation Inspectors
• Training of Inspectors is highly specialized and costly. COVID-19 has
affected the fast-tracking of training of inspectors
• Essential Tools and office space for Inspectors
• Slow responsiveness of the Industry on Certification and Surveillance

8.0 PERFORMANCE OF UGANDA RAILWAY CORPORATION
8.1. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The total approved budget for 2019/2020 was Ugx.84.9Billion, out of which Ugx.9 Billion was
expected from the Government and Ugx.75.9 Billion was to be generated internally. However,
due to the low achievement of the budget for the FY 2018/19, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation undertook to revise the budget and was approved by the Ministry of Works and
Transport. The revised budget was Ugx.77.4Bn, out of which Ugx.8.5Bn was expected from
the Government and Ugx 42.3Bn was to be generated internally.

FY2019/20
The Corporation generated a total of Ugx.43.15bn in income, (Ugx,28.24bn in operational

income, 8.5bn in non-operational income(from Government);and Ugx.6.4bn in exceptional
income).This performance was 17% above that of the FY 2018/19.
The Corporation continued to raise revenue from various sources including freight, rent and
charges. Income from freight operations was Ugx.12.83bn a 1% drop from that of the last FY
(which was Ugx.12.96bn). COVID-19 very much affected this performance as there was little
or no economic activity in the last quarter of the year under review. Other sources included;
Assets hire contributing 0.23bn, Rent 3.39bn, Passenger services 0.54bn among others. See
figure 7.

Exceptional income included debtors’ balances brought forward from the previous FY, cash at
hand and cash at bank. Also, revenue was generated from other fees which included cranage,
handling, port and docking fees, gate fees and hire of the dry dock. Further, there was income
generated from sale of mechanical and other scrap assets in the year which constituted the
miscellaneous receipts.

Northern route continued to generate more revenue followed by the southern route and
then local haulage. Revenues from the southern route dropped significantly towards the end
of the third quarter and the rest of the fourth quarter because both ships (Kaawa and Umoja)
were on dry dock.

In FY2019/20, the corporation railed a total of 169,255.09 tones. This tonnage railed consisted
of 68% as imports, 18% as exports and 14% as local haulage. Compared to last financial
year, there was a 14.19% decrease in performance and this was attributed to the COVID-19
pandemic effects and the wash aways in Kenya that affected trains movement.
A total of 2,263 trains were run during the financial year 2019/2020. During the financial
year, a total of one hundred twenty-nine (129) incidents for both mainline plus yards and
sidings were recorded. Out of the 129 only nineteen (19) were mainline accidents and one
hundred ten (110) were other incidents. Of the mainline accidents, three (3) were capsizements,
ten (10) derailments and six (6) level crossing accidents. These accidents cost the corporation
clearance times and resulted in delayed cargo delivery causing customer frustrations and
loss of business to other means of transport, mainly road.
During the financial year 2019/2020 Net Ton kilometre (NTK) achieved was 40,172,632.84
whereas Gross Ton kilometre (GTK) was 77,539,394. This represented a 52% pay load
performance, an improvement from 45% registered in the previous financial year.
The Corporation insured its assets against loss or damage and both the client’s cargo and its
own assets. The required operational licences for the ship (MV Kaawa) were also acquired
during the year. These included the Seaworthiness Certificate, Class Certificate and the
Manning Certificate.

8.5 STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE
8 . 5 . 1 Rally GoU support for Railway

Among her future plans, URC will continue with the objective of maintaining railways
operations by driving for more efficient and effective railway and marine operations. This
will be done through cost management, mitigating accidents and incidents, and striving for
lower costs of doing business that will lead to profitability for the business community, and
thus tax income to the GoU. It is planned that the above will be achieved by partnering with
the GoU and requesting for their support through the avenues discussed in the Table 55.

Project proposals geared towards improving the railway operations will continue to be
written for the GoU’s consideration and funding either using own resources or those of
international funders.
In the long term, URC’s strategy is to run both Meter Gauge and Standard Gauge Railway
under the reviewed railway policy. It is anticipated that URC will be able to operate profitably
after fully implementing most of the projects geared towards improving the efficiency
of its operations. The areas of priority and business focus will include:
8.5.2 Rehabilitate Infrastructure:
In a bid to catch up with the deferred maintenance, URC has a plan to design and implement
a rehabilitation programme with spot improvement of the main line (Kampala-Malaba) by
re- laying 30,000 sleepers with new materials and ballasting. Expansion of the Portbell and
Bukasa Port are also planned to handle marine operations.
8.5.3 Rehabilitate Rolling stock
(1) Locomotives:
The current capacity of the rolling stock is very low due to long periods of deferred
maintenance of the assets. The Corporation had 5 mainline locomotives out of which 2
were active during the FY 2019/20, with an average availability of about 12%. URC plans to
salvage the current 16 locomotives by carrying out a complete overhaul, projected to cost
FY2019/20
Ugx.760M per locomotive.
There are also plans to buy 10 high capacity locomotives, 4 in the next FY2020/21 and 6
in the following FY and install IT Infrastructure and tracking equipment on board. URC
tendered out procurement of 4 main Line locos expected to be delivered early next year
2021, two (02) reach stackers (container cranes) expected to be delivered before end of 2020.
(2) Wagons
URC currently has 1,351wagons available on the network, out of which 569 were active by
the end of June 2020. There are also plans to purchase 200 wagons within the stipulated
five years’ period, (of the investment plan) and to rehabilitate 150 Wagons.
(3) Human Resource Personnel:
URC carried out an evaluation of its current staff for competences and experiences
required for operations especially in operations and mechanical engineering skills. Plans
are underway to send various staff in the rolling stock sections for training, in partnership
with Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC), at the railways training school in Kenya. In order
to improve productivity, employee retention, efficiency and effectiveness of human capital
at URC, select staff training is planned.
8.5.4 Passenger service operations:
This service was originally initiated as a Passenger service with the GoU subsidy. However,
URC is running this service fully, which has strained its resources. The current operational
costs of this service at Ugx.80M per month. For operational continuity therefore, URC
plans to source for GoU support.
With a limited sitting /standing capacity of 120-150 persons per coach, URC intends to
rehabilitate 10 more coaches and to acquire five sets of Diesel Multiple engines so as to
increase capacity and expand the passenger services across Greater Kampala Metropolitan
Area. The expansion is planned to cover Kampala station to Port Bell on the southern line,
and from Nalukolongo station to Bujjuko on the western line.
Commuter ridership has continued to grow over the past months which is a reflection of
the high demand for this service in the city. In spite of this, the service was operating at a
loss throughout the year, due to the high costs involved in running the service (Ugx,80M
pm). There is need to invest in infrastructure to increase the number of coaches, construct
platforms and halts and park and ride facilities. To make full utilisation of the passenger
service, the following will be done:
• request the GoU for more funding to expand the service, and also for the GoU to
continuously support this service financially as a fulfilment of the NRM objective of
improving connectivity within the GKMA through provision of light railways etc.
• extend the service to cover the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area to 3 routes
namely, Kampala – Namanve; Kampala - Port Bell; and Kampala - Kyengera.
• rehabilitate and increase the number of coaches to 10 and above for each route,
procurement or rehabilitation of two additional locomotives.
• the Ministry of Works and Transport is in advance stages of presenting a com-
prehensive cabinet memorandum to cabinet for inventions to decongest the Greater
Kampala Metropolitan Area.
FY2019/20

8.5.5 Wagon ferries:
URC currently operates only one wagon ferry MV Kaawa which is inadequate for the
anticipated volumes on the Southern route. There are plans to rehabilitate MV Pamba and
acquire a new wagon ferry.
8.5.6 Property Development

A property development proposal was made to the board of URC and it was approved. It
entailed the development, rehabilitation and management of the URC real estate property
to improve their income generation capacity.
8.5.7 URC plans t o exploit the opportunities below to improve its income generation
capacity;
• Develop capacity to enable negotiations for access rights for both Kenya and
Tanzania to solve problems in foreign networks currently affecting service
delivery.
• Plan to procure Reach stackers for container terminals.
• Hire agencies to manage URC interests in KRC and TRC networks.
• Start moving fuel from Eldoret to Kampala as soon as tanks are calibrated.
• Renovation of the big fuel tank at Kampala depot to facilitate fuel supply
management.
• Push for closure of negotiations with VIVO Energy, Equator shipping and
Kampala salt, push for an increase in imports from Spedag and DAMCO to match
their export needs and also drive for sugar exports along Central Corridor from
Madhvani and SCOUL.
• Through direct marketing, the commercial department is to conduct weekly client
visits and include visit engagements.
• More coordination planning and communication to be pushed for especially among
the sister networks especially on the central corridor.
• Push for civil department to develop necessary infrastructure for clients that
requested for sidings.
• Harmonization of rates with our sister partner networks against the ongoing
competitor rates so as to remain competitive throughout the network.
• URC is considering offering first and last mile solutions for their clients. This could
be through establishing sidings to all major and prospective client premises. Clients
like Steel, tube and petroleum product. Tasco Industries have expressed need for a
siding at their factory on a cost sharing basis.
• Up-selling other services like clearing services together with having reliable
partners in the other networks like clearing firms should be considered to improve
the services.
• Attain exports business from Madhvani and SCOUL on the southern route.
• Schedule weekly Client visits: Provide client engagement reports and follow ups
focusing on COVID19 SOPs
• Operationalization of Mukono ICD bond

Key indicators to note in Table 53 are: the budget releases performed at 99.1% of the approved
budget estimates, and on average took 16.75 calendar days from the start of each quarter.
Table 54 shows performance of the KPIs for funds inflow against target.

It can be seen from Table 54 that the performance target for Efficiency was achieved with
99.1% of the targeted minimum potential revenue collected. The performance target for
Timeliness was not achieved. The KPI for efficiency in revenue inflows performed well at
1.1% above the target, and, the KPI for timeliness of revenue under performed at 101.2% of
the maximum allowable time.
FY2019/20
9.2.1 PERFORMANCE ON GOLDEN INDICATORS MONITORED BY URF
9.2.1.1 Road Maintenance Costs
The costs were derived from aggregation and averaging of unit costs from annual work
plans of DUCAR agencies. The work plans conformed to the prevailing policy on use of force
account on road maintenance works in local government agencies. The data of maintenance
costs on national roads is measured and reported directly by UNRA and was therefore not
taken into account. Table 55 shows the data for district and urban roads for the period FY
2018/19 and FY 2019/20.
Table 55: Road Maintenance Unit Costs in the period FY 2018/19 – FY 2019/20

Notes
1. Lower end of range for manual works; higher end for mechanized
2. Lower end of range for town councils; higher end for municipal councils
3. Lower end of range for low traffic; higher end for high traffic urban roads (KCCA and GKMA
MCs).
4. Lower end of range for town councils; higher end for municipal councils
5. Lower end of range for manual works; higher end for mechanized
It can be observed from Table 55 that there was a general increase in the unit cost of
road maintenance in FY 2019/20 compared to FY 2018/19. This is attributed to general
inflationary pressures that pushed up the cost of road maintenance inputs like fuel, gravel,
equipment repairs and maintenance, equipment hire, and labour rates. Observably, the
increase was more pronounced in urban local governments which were not beneficiaries of
newly acquired equipment from Japan and as such spent more on equipment hire.
FY2019/20

9.2.1.2 Maintenance Budget Relative to Requirements
The performance indicators for maintenance budget relative to requirements were

computed as the ratio of available maintenance budgets (for different network categories)
to the unconstrained annual maintenance needs of the networks. This considered
only the proportions of the networks in maintainable state devoid of backlogs. The
maintenance backlogs were measured separately using two sub-indicators: annual budget
for rehabilitation/ backlog removal; and unconstrained cost for rehabilitation/removal of
backlog on all roads. The details are presented in Table 56.
Table 56: Maintenance Budget in FY 2019/20 Relative to Requirements
Indicator Unit FY 2018/19 FY 2019/20

2.1 National roads (Maintenance) % 29% 25%
2.2 District roads (Maintenance) % 27% 15%
2.3 Urban roads (Maintenance) % 26% 15%
2.4 Budget all roads (Rehabilitation) Million - USD 179.2 186.2
2.5 Backlog all roads (Rehabilitation) Million - USD 1,520 1,154.3
The budget relative to requirement indicators decreased from FY 2018/19 to FY 2019/20 for
all road categories following decreased budget for road maintenance from UGX 542.517bn
in FY 2018/19 to UGX 448.833bn in FY 2019/20. The road maintenance backlog decreased
as shown in Table 56 due to increased allocation for rehabilitation particularly under the
USMID Programme, but also due to a rebasing of the computation of maintenance needs on
the Community Access Roads during the year.
9.2.1.3 Maintenance Expenditure Relative to Releases
The indicators for maintenance expenditure relative to releases were derived as a percentage
of URF releases expended by the designated agencies within the FY. Absorption of funds
under rehabilitation programmes in UNRA and DUCAR agencies was not considered in line
with the approved indicator definition. Table 57 shows the absorption of road maintenance
funds on national roads, KCCA roads and the DUCAR network.
Table 57: Maintenance Expenditure Relative to Releases

Indicator FY 2018/19 FY 2019/20
Status at Q4
2.6 National roads 100% 98.9%
2.7 KCCA roads 100% 100%
2.7 DUCAR 1
62% 64%
1
No data yet to enable reporting on DUCAR absorption of road maintenance funds at end of
Q4 FY 2019/20.
It can be seen from Table 57 that whilst UNRA and KCCA had essentially expended all the
funds released to them at close of FY 2019/20, the expenditure of DUCAR Agencies in Q1-3
FY 2019/20 stood at 64% of the annual funds availed them.
FY2019/20
9.2.2 PERFORMANCE OF ROAD MAINTENANCE FINANCING IN FY 2019/20
9.2.2.1 Trend of Road Maintenance Financing
Prior to the establishment of URF, the Treasury, within the framework of annual budgetary
appropriations, directly disbursed road maintenance funding to agencies. However, the
approach did not prioritise road network maintenance needs against the backdrop of
competing demands. Consequently, and owing to the funding shortfall, the national roads
network for instance, accumulated a maintenance backlog of 3,500Km (equivalent 33% of
its 11,000Km network at the time) between 1997/98 and 2007/08. Over the same period, the
district roads network in poor to very poor condition also escalated from 30% to 55%. Part
of the reason for establishment of the Road Fund in 2008 was to address these condition
declines.
A road fund in essence is an institutional setup through which a selected stream of revenues
is put at the disposal of a government roads department or agency without being subjected to
general procedures associated with the Consolidated Fund. An enabled road fund offers best
opportunity to ensure adequate level and predictability of road maintenance funding. URF
has not yet attained this status owing to legal impediments constraining its independent
realization of revenues from road user charges. As such the current method of financing
road maintenance through quarterly releases from the Treasury is not fully responsive to
the road condition and road network needs as to adequately check maintenance backlog
growth.

un-met needs (including funding under USMID, RRP, KIIDP and PRDP), since FY 2010/11 and
as projected to FY 2020/21.
Figure 10: TREND OF ROAD MAINTENANCE FINANCING, FY 2010/11 – 2020/21
As shown in Figure 10, the total funds availed for road maintenance and rehabilitation has
been growing in nominal terms from UGX 393 billion in FY 2010/11 to UGX 768 billion in FY
2019/20 and is projected to further increase to UGX 777.3 billion in FY 2020/21. However,
the total maintenance needs (maintenance and rehabilitation) of the public road network is
increasing steadily at a faster rate than the increment in available funds. This is expected
since the funding for road maintenance and rehabilitation is not yet linked to road usage
represented by both traffic loading (cargo freight) and traffic volumes (number of vehicles).
Therefore, the total available funds need to be increased and sustained at a critical level to
force a steady decrease of the total maintenance needs. Funding of road maintenance also
needs to be linked to road usage through introduction of road user charges envisaged in the
URF Act.
Table 10 shows the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) projections to FY

2020/21, which indicates that the available funding in FY 2019/20 only met 24.4% of needs,
leaving funding of 75.6% of needs unmet. URF was allocated a total of UGX 447.103 billion
in FY 2019/20 under the MTEF, of which net allocation to road maintenance needs was UGX
419.106 billion against total requirements estimated at UGX 1.8674 trillion and therefore
leaving a shortfall of UGX 1.448 Trillion (77.5% of total).
9.2.2.2 Allocation of funds
A sum of UGX 448.833bn was allocated to URF for road maintenance in FY 2019/20, by
Parliamentary appropriations. This was UGX 93.7bn (17.3% decrement) less than the UGX
542.517bn in FY 2018/19. The funds were allocated to various expenditure heads by category
and by allowed uses as shown in sections 3.2 and 3.3.

9.2.2.3 Allocation by category of expenditure heads
Allocation of funds in FY 2019/20 by category of expenditure heads was as shown in Table

Comparatively, the allocation to national roads maintenance was decreased by UGX 42.6bn
(13.6%), the allocation to DUCAR network was decreased by UGX 44.4bn (24.1%), the allocation
to KCCA network was decreased by UGX 8.2bn (26.7%), while that for the URF Secretariat
was maintained at UGX 8.35bn.
9.2.2.4 Allocation by Allowed Uses
The funds appropriated to URF in FY 2019/20 were applied for various categories of works,
goods and services in line with section 22 of the URF Act, as detailed in Table 60 - UNRA,
Table 61 - KCCA, and Table 62 - DUCAR.

It can be observed from Table 60 that not all the planned quantities of works on the national
roads network were funded in FY 2019/20. This is because some funds were reallocated to

101
emergency works and outstanding payments for contractors and suppliers. Implementation
of planned activities for both routine and periodic maintenance performed well as all funded
targets were achieved.

It can be observed from Table 61 that all the planned quantities of works on the city roads
network were funded in FY 2019/20. Actually, more works were funded than were planned
for in the FY. The extra funding was to cater for emergencies including dilapidated roads
and other facilities on Kampala City Roads. On average, the achievements were 100% of the
financed quantities when measured at the end of FY 2019/20.

Table 62 shows the physical performance of DUCAR agencies based on analysis of 94.3% of
the agencies (125 DLGs and 40 MCs) that had submitted Q3 FY2019/20 accountability reports
at the time of compilation of this report. The agencies constitute 96% of the funds released for
FY2019/20
maintenance of the DUCAR road network in FY 2019/20.
It can be observed from Table 7 that the planned quantities of works on the DUCAR network
were under funded in FY 2019/20. This was due to COVID-19 outbreak that distorted normal
operations across the country and thus affected release and disbursement of funds to LGs in
Q4 FY 2019/20. It can also be observed that the physical performance was in the range 76.3%
- 91.8% but on average 82.6% of the financed quantities across the various works categories
when measured at the end of Q3 FY 2019/20.
9.2.2.5 Performance of Funds Inflow in FY 2019/20
In FY 2019/20 URF received a sum of UGX 443.282bn from the Treasury, in quarterly
tranches, which constituted 99.1% of the approved annual budget for road maintenance.
Table 63 shows the performance of the receipts from MoFPED during FY 2019/20.

Timeliness was not achieved. The KPI for efficiency in revenue inflows performed well at
1.1% above the target, and, the KPI for timeliness of revenue under performed at 101.2% of
the maximum allowable time.
9.2.2.6 Performance of Funds Disbursements in FY 2019/20
In FY 2019/20, URF made disbursements amounting to UGX 442.294bn, as shown in

Table 65, of which UGX 431.146bn was disbursed to DAs for maintenance of the various
categories of the public roads network whilst UGX 8.350bn and UGX 2.799bn were retained
for administrative expenses of the URF Secretariat and project to strengthen capacity of URF
respectively. On average, disbursements to UNRA took 10 calendar days and 17 calendar
days to DUCAR agencies, from the dates of receipt of funds from MoFPED.

It can be seen from Table 65 that disbursements to Local Governments and the URF de-
velopment project were significantly below 100%. This was occasioned by the COVID-19
pandemic that led to change in MoFPED’s funding priorities. Figure 1 shows the percentage
disbursements to the different categories of DAs and sub-agencies made by URF during FY
2019/20.
FIGURE 8: DISBURSEMENTS BY CATEGORY OF AGENCIES – FY 2019/20
It can be seen from Figure 11 that the biggest portion of the disbursements went to UNRA
(63.8%) for maintenance on the national road network while the rest was shared between
maintenance of the DUCAR network and KCCA roads, with the residual going to the URF
Secretariat. Figure 12 shows a disaggregation of the disbursements as percentages of the
respective approved annual budgets in FY 2019/20 across the various expenditure heads.

It can be observed from Table 66 that when measured at the end of Q4 FY 2019/20: UNRA,
KCCA and the URF Secretariat had absorbed all the funds that were availed to them during
the FY; while as at the end of Q3 FY 2019/20, DUCAR agencies had not yet absorbed 36% of
the annual funds availed to them. Total absorption of road maintenance funds was at 89.8%
of releases, however it was expected to rise in excess of 98% upon consideration of the Q4
absorption by DUCAR agencies.

Based on expressed needs of Agencies in the amount of UGX 1.2 Trillion in FY 2020/21, there
will be a shortfall in funding of UGX 653Bn made up as follows: National roads UGX 398bn;
and UGX 255Bn for the DUCAR network including KCCA. The effect of the shortfall will be
reduced level of periodic maintenance especially on the DUCAR network, which will conse-

It can be seen from Table 69 that, on both national roads and DUCAR network, there was a
general increase in the quantities planned to be funded under all works categories due to a
12.6% increase in the budget for maintenance of national roads and DUCAR network.
9.3.3 PLANS FOR THE MEDIUM TERM
In the medium term, FY 2020/21 – 2022/23, URF plans to adopt the strategies in Table 70 to
improve operations of the Fund and road maintenance financing.
FY2019/20
TABLE 70: Strategies to improve road maintenance financing
SN STRATEGY ACTIONS TIMING REMARKS
1 Promote use of • Revamping the use of road FY 2020/21 This is expected to support
road management maintenance management – 2021/22 planning and programming
tools/software systems of road maintenance works in
DUCAR agencies.
2 Establish regional • Zone LGs into 4 regions FY 2020/21 TSUs will support LGs in
Technical Support • Progress the Roll out and implementation of their road
Units (TSUs) for strengthening the TSUs maintenance programmes
LGs including preparation of good
quality work plans, works
implementation, preparation
of good quality reports and in
a timely manner.
A pilot TSU in northern

region of Uganda was
successfully trialled in FY
2019/20. Subsequently 2 TSUs
have been rolled out to 50
select LGs scattered all over
the four regions of Uganda in
FY 2020/21.
3 Introduction of • Launch of a bespoke web-based FY 2019/20 This is expected to improve
online reporting Road Maintenance Management management and reporting
and Monitoring System (RMMS) on URF business processes;
to form an interface between and to improve planning,
URF and its DAs. reporting and accountability
among DAs
4 Acquire • Progress construction works for FY 2020/21 Construction of office
permanent a 12-storey building. – 2022/23 building is progressing and
premises for the physical progress was at 57%
Fund at end of July 2020.
5 Build and enhance • Support and monitor FY 2020/21 Support and monitoring of
partnerships functionality of DRCs – 2023/24 functionality of DRCs was
to strengthen • Establish partnerships rolled out starting with
oversight in the with various categories of districts that were deemed
utilisation of road stakeholders most critical
maintenance • Build synergies with oversight
funds functions resident in DAs/ other
government institutions
6 Establish a road • Coordinate with key sector FY 2020/21 2019 Road User Satisfaction
users forum institutions to establish the road – 2024/25 Survey (RUSS) which was the
and undertake users forum 7th RUSS done in Uganda and
periodic road • Undertake periodic road user the 3rd RUSS to be undertaken
user satisfaction satisfaction surveys and track by URF was completed. A
surveys improvements, perceptions and report was produced and
draw lessons disseminated to stakeholders.
• The survey provides
a mechanism through
which road users provide
feedback to road agencies
on the quality of road
services they provide.
• Results of the survey
indicated that the
percentage of satisfied
road users more than
doubled from 27.2% in
2017 to 57% in 2019.
FY2019/20

9.4 CHALLENGES AND PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES
The key challenges experienced during the period include:
1) Inadequate funding for road maintenance which has fundamentally reduced periodic
maintenance and driven backlog build-up. The approved road maintenance budget for
FY 2019/20 (UGX 448.833bn) constituted 0.36% of Uganda’s GDP (UGX 126,258bn), well
below the minimum recommended of 0.85%.
In mitigation, URF will continue pursuance of increased parliamentary appropriations

towards road maintenance in order to protect the road asset and check backlog build-
up. Side by side, the quest for empowering URF to a truly second generation (2G) Fund
will continue.
2) Failure to commercialise roads management to entrench market principles all through the
management cycle to save and protect asset value and ensure significant gains for road
users. This is occasioned by parliamentary appropriations based on normal budgetary
allocations which are not related to road usage and condition as envisaged in the URF
founding Act.
In mitigation, URF continues to engage stakeholders to agitate for completion of sector

reforms one of whose cardinal objectives was to commercialise roads management by
moving roads out of the general consolidated fund arena into to market driven ‘user
pays’ principle.
3) Lack of precise real-time knowledge on size and state of the road asset which clouds
planning and budgeting, more seriously dampening ability of URF to accurately evaluate
the programmes of DAs.
In mitigation, URF will plans to establish an on-line based road maintenance

management and monitoring system which will enable real time consolidation of work
plans, accountabilities, as well as data collection on road inventories and condition.
4) Weak institutional capacities of DUCAR agencies especially in planning, management,

reporting, and accountability which has resulted into poor maintenance practices,
accumulation of backlog, and low absorption by DAs.
In mitigation, URF is incrementally rolling out TSUs and it will continue to work with
other government entities in addressing the various forms of capacity gaps in DUCAR
agencies.
5) Procurement delays hampering the implementation of road maintenance programmes

and absorption of funds.
In mitigation, URF will continue coordination with other government entities in

addressing the underlying issues in delays to procurements.

11.2.1 PERFORMANCE ON THE GOLDEN INDICATORS
KCCA contributes towards the performance of mainly two golden indicators i.e. Paved roads
and travel time within GKMA.
Kampala City comprises 2,110km of roads of which 623km is paved and 1487km is unpaved.
These figures were derived from a study commissioned by KCCA in 2013 to undertake a roads
inventory and conditions assessment, which established an accurate database/inventory of
all road infrastructure within KCCA area of jurisdiction and its condition.
i) In the period June 2019 to June 2020 only 10.05km of roads was completed under GOU
funding. These included NMT Pilot Corridor (Namirembe-Luwum-1.5Km), Munaku
Road-0.8Km, Sebatendera-0.6Km Nsambya-Katwe-0.9Km, Kevina-1.2Km, Jjuko-
1.3Km, Kirombe Road-1.2Km, Queensway-1.6Km, Kalema Road-0.4Km, Lakedrive-
1.8Km, Naguru Hill Rise- 0.5Km
The travel time in Kampala is 4.1 minutes /km. which translates to 14.6Km/hr compared to
4.2minutes/km in FY 2017/18.
11.2.2 ROADS IMPROVEMENT
In the FY2019/20 KCCA did not sign any new contracts for new road upgrading/reconstruction
works. This is because there were ongoing multiyear contracts that were signed at the end of
FY2016/2017 and these have been running over last three financial years under GOU funding
and have now been completed. These contracts involved upgrading and reconstruction of
selected city roads totaling 44.85Km.
Road improvement works under ongoing contracts in the reporting period FY 2019/2020
had the following roads and have now been completed:

11.3 CHALLENGES AND MITIGATIONS
i. Disruption of works due to the government restrictions imposed following the out-
break of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Contractors had to suspend works for some
period after the partial lockdown directed by the President of Uganda. They subse-
quently declared a force majeure event as a result.
ii. Dilapidated Road Network. Most of the roads need overhaul as they have outlived
their existence and the road repairs tend to be too costly and serve little or no value
as new potholes continue to develop.
iii. Limited capacity of Road Network: The road network in Kampala has limited capacity
and was not built for the high volume traffic of recent years that has contributed to
severe congestion.
iv. Lack of adequate road reserves: Most roads are unplanned and lack adequate rights
of way for improvement. This makes road improvements very costly as the required
geometrical designs cannot be achieved without significant resettlement and acquisi-
tion of rights of way.
v. Lack of safe NMT facilities: Although most trips are pedestrian, there is a lack of pe-
destrian facilities on most roads. In many cases pedestrians are forced to share car-
riageways with vehicles exposing themselves to accidents. Provision of walkways and
cycle paths is hampered by lack or right of way and limited funding.
vi. Lack of an integrated and affordable public transport system: The public transport
system is fragmented and dominated by low capacity minibuses and boda bodas. A
mass transit system is needed to serve as the back bone of the transport system in
Kampala.
vii. Under Funding: The combined funds available to road construction from Govern-
ment allocations and KCCA’s own resources are insufficient to finance needed infra-
structure improvements that address the continuous growth of traffic in Kampala,
notwithstanding the current traffic problems in the city.

12.0 PERFORMANCE OF UGANDA NATIONAL AIRLINES

COMPANY
Government of Uganda through MoWT appropriated UGX 558.32 billion to the Uganda
National Airline project, UGX 525.49 billion was received (94.1%) and spend by the end of the
financial year. USD 53.6784 million approximately UGX 199.41 billion was to complete the
pre-delivery payments on the two Airbus A330-800neos, USD 41.5 million approximately
UGX 154.01 billion to Bombardier to pay for the last batch of the two CRJ-900 aircraft, USD
20 million approximately UGX 74.3 billion as refund to the operational funds that were used
to pay the initial Airbus prep-delivery payments and UGX 19.7 billion as part of the GOU
funds to capitalize the Airline.
In addition to the above, the Government has committed to release a total amount of UGX
112.5 billion in batches of UGX 28.125 billion as subvention expenditures towards the compa-
ny’s capitalization.
All pre-delivery payments to Airbus were made, the final payments to Bombardier were
made and the two CRJ -900 Aircraft were delivered in October 2019.
As at end of the financial year UGX 32.825 billion relating to Airline’s capitalization had not
been received.
Prior to the two aircraft delivered in October 2019 making the total fleet of four Aircraft, the
first batch of two CRJ900 Aircraft had been delivered in April 2018 and payments were fully
made

The airline has been realizing the increasing trends of passengers and revenues before
Covid-19. From January 2020 till closure of commercial operations in Mach 2020, the Airline
was realizing reduction in passenger numbers and as a result of Covid-19.

December 2020 and January 2021 respectively
FY2019/20
12.3 FUTURE PLANS
The Airline plan to do the following in the near future
• Implement the Airlines core systems; that is the Enterprise Resource Planning system
and the Passenger Service System.
• Take delivery of the two A330-800 Neo Aircraft and launch long haul operations into
China, London, and Dubai.
• Set up a unit for self-handling of the Aircraft at Entebbe International Airport
• Conclude plans to register a local Approved Maintenance Organisation and start
self-maintenance
• Conclude negotiations for slots in all destinations planned for expansion
The plan also includes the identification of opportunities for joint-venture investment in non-
core airline related businesses business class lounges, on-board self-catering, and customer
services at Entebbe airport.
12.4 CHALLENGES AND MITIGATIONS
(a) The COVID 19 affected the operation of the airline which forced the government
shut down of the airport for passengers leaving only the operations of the cargo.
The Airline has not developed its cargo business yet and as such missed out on this
opportunity to carry cargo in and out of the country.
(b) Slow process of designation process of the Airline in the different countries and
destinations of choice that has delayed the launch of other regional routes that are on
the Airline’s plan.
(c) Non-disbursement of the of the Government Budgetary Support as committed and
scheduled that has an impact on the operationalization of the planned activities of
the Airline.
(d) Delayed implementation of approved airline incentives by government especially
those relating to waivers of taxes, charges, the grant of premises for the airline head
office, business class lounge and the grant of land for building hangars, catering units
and other complimentary services.
(e) Delayed activation of the Airline in the Global Distribution systems which makes the
Airline not visible by the Global Travel agents hence missed possible sales. This also
makes the indirect access the Company goes through using its Interline Partner APG
for it to be visible costly as this comes with an additional cost of Euro 30 per ticket sold
through this channel.
(f) High operating costs through third party service providers of inflight catering,
handling services at Entebbe and Aircraft maintenance services which make the
operation costly.
(g) Inability to activate code share and full interline partnerships with legacy Airlines
because the Airline is not yet IOSA certified. This limits the additional revenues that
could come from such partnerships.
