ABOUT THE FUND Fund Manager UAP Financial Services Ltd Launch Date August 2013 Risk Profile Low Annual Management Fee 0% p.a Trustee/Custodian Standard Chartered Bank Auditors Ernst and Young Lumpsum Investments Minimum UGX 100,000 10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UAP UNIT TRUST FUNDS What are the benefits of investing in the UAP Unit trusts? Unit trusts have become increasingly popular because they provide cost effective access to both the fixed income market and the stock market. An investor is able to diversify risk and tap into some investments that he/she would rather have been unable to access through the expertise of a professional fund manager. How does an investor purchase Units? An investor can purchase units through an investment advisor from UAP Old Mutual Financial Services Limited, upon receipt of proper advice. What is the current minimum investment amount? The minimum lump sum investment amount is UGX 100,000 in each of the respective funds. An investor can also choose to make regular top ups as and when they feel the need to. How does the fund manager determine how many units to allocate to an investor? When you invest in a Unit Trust fund, the number of units you will receive is calculated by dividing the investment amount by the offer price at the time of purchase. For example, when you purchase at a price of UGX 1000 and you invest UGX 3,000,000 you will receive 3,000 units.This number of units will be shown in your monthly statement. The value of these units will then change in accordance with the price of the unit trust. The price of the unit trust is dependent on the value of the securities (sometimes called underlying assets) that are bought for the unit trust fund by the fund manager. 11 What should I know before investing in a unit trust fund? To align your interest and expectations with the objectives of the unit trust fund, you need to consider certain factors before taking the decision to invest. You need to determine what your investment objective is, your risk appetite, your investment horizon and possibly whether you will need the money in the short or long term. It is important to bear in mind that the value of the unit trust will fluctuate in accordance with the underlying investments and any income may go down as well as up. When is the best time to invest in a unit trust fund? Customarily, it is a good idea to invest regularly to take advantage of “cost averaging”.

  • 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.

  • The Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and Their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004
    School of Built Environment, CEDAT Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda and School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden The Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004 Fredrick Omolo-Okalebo Doctoral Thesis in Infrastructure, Planning and Implementation Stockholm 2011 i ABSTRACT Title: Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004 Through a descriptive and exploratory approach, and by review and deduction of archival and documentary resources, supplemented by empirical evidence from case studies, this thesis traces, analyses and describes the historic trajectory of planning events in Kampala City, Uganda, since the inception of modern town planning in 1903, and runs through the various planning episodes of 1912, 1919, 1930, 1951, 1972 and 1994. The planning ideas at interplay in each planning period and their expression in planning schemes vis-à-vis spatial outcomes form the major focus. The study results show the existence of two distinct landscapes; Mengo for the Native Baganda peoples and Kampala for the Europeans, a dualism that existed for much of the period before 1968. Modern town planning was particularly applied to the colonial city while the native city grew with little attempts to planning. Four main ideas are identified as having informed planning and transformed Kampala – first, the utopian ideals of the century; secondly, “the mosquito theory” and the general health concern and fear of catching „native‟ diseases – malaria and plague; thirdly, racial segregation and fourth, an influx of migrant labour into Kampala City, and attempts to meet an expanding urban need in the immediate post war years and after independence in 1962 saw the transfer and/or the transposition of the modernist and in particular, of the new towns planning ideas – which were particularly expressed in the plans of 1963-1968 by the United Nations Planning Mission.
