Government with funding from the World Bank has established a one-stop border point at Mpondwe to promote cross border trade and facilitate movement of goods and people between Uganda and DR Congo.
Mpondwe is one of the busiest border points due to its drastic growth in the volumes of trade in the last five years.
Government said the border point will also enhance revenue collection for both countries.
