Name of the project and location
Kabale – Kisoro – Bunagana/Kyanika road project, Uganda.

Project description
The main components of the project include: the upgrading of the Kabale–Kisoro–Bunagana/Kyanika road to a paved standard, the Nyakahita–Ibanda–Fort portal road study, and the district roads rehabilitation study in the southern region of Uganda.

The project will provide all-weather access for the supply of farm inputs and evacuation of produce to major market centres. It will also promote regional integration and economic cooperation with the neighbouring countries, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, and reinforce the level of service and efficiency of the road network. The project will impact on various sectors such as agricultural and industrial production, trade, tourism, as well as the social and administrative services.

Value
In April 2005 the project was approved to the value of $43-million, however, the project is facing an increase in works prices. This is mainly owing to a considerable global increase in the prices of various inputs required for road construction, such as bitumen, cement and steel. Realising that the financing gap could not be closed using its own resources, the government of Uganda requested a supplementary loan of $50-million from the African Development Fund (ADF) in order to implement the project as initially conceived.
