  • Uganda Clays Ltd FY2015 Published Accounts Snapshot
    Uganda Clays Ltd FY2015 Published Financials Snapshot 18th May 2016 Hold Uganda Clays Limited (USE: UCL) Financial Statements 2015: Rise in Topline Revenues Eroded by Shareholder Loan Price 17/05/16 UGX 15 12m Target Price* UGX 13 Analyst Opinion: Downside to TP (13.33%) HOLD with a 1-Year Target price of Ugx13 ($0.004): Uganda Clays Limited published financial statements on 16th May 2016 revealed a marginal upside in the company’s core business owing to higher revenues and reduced operating expenses compared to 2014. The improved performance was also supported by one off incomes of Ugx3.1Bn ($936,382) arising from land acquired by the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) for the construction of the Entebbe express highway. Management notes revealed that the loss of excavated clay indicated on the 2015 income statement would be paid back in 2016. UCL managed to pay off the bank loans which amounted to Ugx3Bn ($902,256) [Source: Annual Report 2014] over the past year. However, effects of this payment were overshadowed by accruing interest and penalties arising from payment defaults on the shareholder loan. Back in 2010, Uganda Clays took on unsecured debt from its largest shareholder (with a 32.52% stake), NSSF Uganda, amounting to Ugx11.05Bn ($3.3Mn). This loan attracts an interest of 15% with a loan tenure of 10 years and a 2-year grace period. Owing to the slowdown in business and poor management in recent years, the company has had a difficult time financing this debt. As a result, the loan amount has since grown to about Ugx19.7Bn ($5.9Mn).

  • Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project Country: Uganda
    Language: English Original: English PROJECT: KAMPALA CITY ROADS REHABILITATION PROJECT COUNTRY: UGANDA ESIA SUMMARY FOR THE PROPOSED SELECTED ROAD LINKS AND JUNCTIONS/INTERSECTIONS TO IMPROVE MOBILITY IN KAMPALA CITY Date: May 2019 Team Leader: G. MAKAJUMA, Transport Engineer, RDGE.3 Preparation Team E&S Team Member: E.B. KAHUBIRE, Social Development Officer, RDGE4 /SNSC 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Traffic congestion in Kampala city is fast growing due to a combination of poor roads network, uncontrolled junctions, and insufficient roads capacity which is out of phase with the increasing traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) on Kampala roads. This congestion results into higher vehicle operating costs, long travel times and poor transport services. The overall city aesthetics and quality of life is highly compromised by the dilapidated paved roads and sidewalks, unpaved shoulders and unpaved roads which are sources of mud and dust that hovers over large sections of the City. 1.2. The Government of Uganda through Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) with support from the African Development Bank intends to improve mobility in Kampala City through improvement of selected road links and Junctions/intersections. The selected junctions/intersections are to be signalized while the selected roads are to be dualled or reconstructed or upgraded to paved standard. 1.3. The National Environmental Act, CAP 153 requires that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is undertaken for all projects that are listed under the third schedule of the Act with a view of sustainable development. The proposed project is one of the projects listed under Section 3 (Transportation) of the Schedule. Therefore, to fulfill legal requirements an EIA has been conducted for the proposed project as part of the consultancy services for the preliminary and detailed engineering design of selected road links and junctions/intersections to improve mobility in Kampala City under the Second Kampala Institutional and Infrastructure Development Project.

A survey was carried out on 115 smallholder farmers in Central Uganda to establish the influence of agro-related policies in tissue culture banana adoption between January and July 2018. Results from the study indicated that 83.8% of the respondents were aware about the Plan for Modernization of Agriculture policy as compared to National Agricultural Policy (5.5%), National Development Plan (13.12%) and Agricultural Sector Development Strategy and Investment Plan (3.3%).
