Uganda - Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP) — Uganda

Overview

The Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP) is part of a citywide infrastructural improvement program. This programme seeks to meet the Government’s long-term development strategy as outlined in the Government’s Vision 2040. The project should increase and improve the quality of infrastructure stock to foster transformation of the Uganda’s economy from low income to a more competitive upper middleincome status. It aimed at tackling congestion in the city of Kampala through improvement of road network, upgrading of traffic junctions, and enhanced drainage capacity to mitigate flooding on the streets. Specifically, the project encompasses road network improvements/upgrading, road junction improvements, traffic management—including establishment of Traffic Control Centre (TCC), provision of street lighting, and storm water drainage enhancements. The implementation of the programme is undertaken in phases. The prioritized road network for improvement is 121km. The project has five main components, namely: (1) civil works; (2) project management; (3) provision of eco-bus services; (4) institutional capacity building; and (5) skills development for women and youth.
