Roads and bridges, the airport, water, electricity, among others, are the necessary support systems and entry point in the attainment of Uganda’s Final Investment Decision [FID].
Indeed, the strategies adopted were hinged on the signing of the FID, predicted as early as June 2019. With this deadline, and a cabinet directive in 2016 to implement the development of “Critical Oil Roads”, UNRA adopted the improvement of the level of service of such roads, procurement strategies of design and build and pre-financing of works in the first 12 months of signing the civil works contracts by the respective contractors to give enough time for Government of Uganda to secure the loan agreements.
