LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 1. Country Profile
1.2. Introduction & Background The Republic of Uganda achieved its independence in 1962. The colonial boundaries grouped together a wide range of ethnic groups with different political systems and cultures. These differences made it difficult to establish a working political community after independence. Devastating economic policies and political turmoil during the dictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79) caused a lot of suffering and claiming over 50,000 lives. This regime was followed by guerrilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) that claimed at least 100,000 lives. The rule of Yoweri MUSEVENI since 1986 has brought relative stability and economic growth to Uganda despite sporadic rebellion that continued in Northern Uganda until 2009. During the 1990s, the government promulgated non-party presidential and legislative elections. In January 2009, Uganda assumed a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2009-10

1.2.4. Economy “Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, small deposits of copper, gold, and other minerals, and recently discovered oil. Uganda has never conducted a national minerals survey. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing over 80% of the work force. Coffee accounts for the bulk of export revenues. Since 1986, the government - with the support of foreign countries and international agencies - has acted to rehabilitate and stabilize the economy by undertaking currency reform, raising producer prices on export crops, increasing prices of petroleum products, and improving civil service wages. The policy changes are especially aimed at dampening inflation and boosting production and export earnings. Since 1990 economic reforms ushered in an era of solid economic growth based on continued investment in infrastructure, improved incentives for production and exports, lower inflation, better domestic security, and the return of exiled Indian-Ugandan entrepreneurs. Growth continues to be solid, despite variability in the price of coffee, Uganda's principal export. In 2000, Uganda qualified for enhanced Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt relief worth $1.3 billion and Paris Club debt relief worth $145 million. These amounts combined with the original HIPC debt relief added up to about $2 billion. The global economic downturn has hurt Uganda's exports; however, Uganda's GDP growth is still relatively strong due to past reforms and sound management of the downturn.” (The World FactBook)
1.2.5. Disasters Uganda is prone to natural and manmade disasters ranging from floods, drought, earthquakes and pests, to civil strife and terrorism.

Humanitarian Background For many years the northern part of Uganda has been home to millions of displaced people as a result of internal conflict, rebel movement and refugees from neighbouring Sudan. Many have now moved out of the camps posing an even greater challenge to the economy. Majority of these people are from a generation that has lived in camps most of their lives. Rehabilitation and reintegration of these people requires a lot of resource. Funding required to assist is not adequate. Moving to the northeastern part of the country is the pastoralist region of Karamoja which is the least developed in the country, burdened by drought, conflict and food shortages. 1.3.1. Disasters, Conflicts & Migration History Disasters, Conflicts & Migration Natural Disasters Yes/No Comments / Details Parts of Western and Central Uganda to mid Northern and Eastern regions are affected by drought. It affects the pasture and water levels Drought Yes along the cattle corridor in the west and can result in human and livestock deaths when severe. Many parts of Western and Central Uganda are prone to seismic Earthquake Yes activity. In 1994 Uganda experienced earthquakes in the districts in Ruwenzori followed by numerous waves of earthquakes in 2007. Due to its location in the middle of both the Eastern and Western Rift Volcanic eruptions Valleys, many parts of Western and Eastern Uganda are prone to volcanic eruptions. Some of the volcanoes are still fairly active, with Yes Mt. Elgon being the most potentially active. The effect of volcano eruptions can be very devastating as was evident in the Goma incident. Diseases Yes In the past, Uganda was affected by diseases such as small pox, Page 5 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 meningitis, cholera, HIV/AIDS and Ebola. According to the World Fact Book in 2009, the country was still prone to infectious diseases such as food or waterborne diseases: bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever vectorborne diseases: malaria, plague, and African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) water contact disease: schistosomiasis and animal contact diseases such as rabies1 Kampala, Northern and Eastern parts of Uganda are prone to flooding. It usually occurs in periods of intense rainfall and el-Niño phenomena. Flood Yes They are seasonal and build up slowly causing a lot of damage to crops, settlements and trigger landslides. Pests are a major problem. They affect the crops causing damage Insect infestation Yes during the growing season and the harvesting season. This results in serious food shortages and famine. The areas that are mostly affected by landslide include Kigezi, Bugisu, and the Rwenzori region. Landslides can be sudden and difficult to Landslides Yes predict. The Government is currently working with local communities to relocate settlements to areas that are less prone to landslides. The entire country is prone to hail storms characterised by heavy tropical rains, strong and violent winds and hailstones which result in Hail Storms Yes immense destruction of crops, animals, public infrastructure and human settlements leading to deaths and disruption of social services. Other comments Man-made Historically, Uganda has been plagued by internal armed conflicts leading to massive human displacement. Some of these occurred. - Between 1979 and 1987 resulting in the removal of President Idi Amin and the followed by political unrest. Civil strife Yes - Between 1981 and 1986 a civil conflict in Buganda - From 1986 to 2007, insurgency in the Northern and Eastern parts of Uganda - Continued customary cattle rustling by the Karamajong - Uganda has been actively involved in the DR Congo conflict. For years, countries in the Great Lakes Region were affected by armed conflict and large scale terrorist attacks. - In the late 1980s and early 2000, Kampala suffered a wave of urban terrorism International conflict Yes - In 1998 the simultaneous attacks on American Embassies in & Terrorist attacks Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam were an illustration of Uganda’s vulnerability to terrorist attacks. - In 2010, innocent Ugandans lost their lives to a terrorist attack by a Somalia based terrorist group. Displaced in country Yes 446,300 (2009) UNHCR Refugees in country Yes Refugees from other Yes 127,350 (2009) UNHCR countries country Landmines Yes casualties / year (Reference)2 1 World Fact Book 2009 2 www.em-dat.net/disasters/countryprofiles.php Centre for Research on Epidemiology of Disasters, www.ugandaclusters.ug/, www.opm.go.ug Page 6 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 1.3.2. Calamities and Seasonal Affects 1.3.2.1. Seasons Season Weather Dec – Feb This is the hot and dry season March Intermittent rains start at this time Apr – May This is the heavier rainy season, and road conditions can become difficult. Jun – Oct This is the cooler dry season November The short rains begin Comments • Uganda lies at an altitude of 1,155 m or 3,789 ft • The average temperature in Uganda is 21.5 °C (71 °F). • The highest monthly average high temperature is 27 °C (81 °F) in January, February, March • The lowest monthly average low temperature is 16 °C (61 °F) in July, August, September • Uganda's climate receives an average of 1,574 mm (62.0 in) of rainfall per year, or 131 mm (5.2 in) per month. • On average there are 127 days per year with more than 0.1 mm (0.004 in) of rainfall (precipitation) or 10.6 days with a quantity of rain, sleet, snow etc. per month. • The driest weather is in July when an average of 73 mm (2.9 in) of rainfall (precipitation) occurs across 7 days. • The wettest weather is in May when an average of 279 mm (11.0 in) of rainfall (precipitation) occurs across 17 days. • The average annual relative humidity is 80.3% and average monthly relative humidity ranges from 78% in January & February to 83% in April, May. • Average sunlight hours in Uganda range between 6.0 hours per day in April and 7.5 hours per day in January. • There is an average of 2,408 hours of sunlight per year with an average of 6.6 hours of sunlight per day. 1.3.2.2. Seasonal Effects The road infrastructure has improved tremendously over the last couple of years. The main corridor within Uganda is not affected much by the rains. The one challenge that can cause delays in the pipeline is the customs bureaucracy at the boarder points into Uganda. An example is the clearance of export of maize from Uganda to Kenya which experiences a lot of delays at the Kenya/Uganda border. Seasonal Effects on Transport (economic, social, climate…) Transport Comments Period (Month) All major roads are tarmaced and passable. The only obstacles on these roads are the areas affected by rainy seasons where bridges are in need of repair or during Primary Road Transport N/A floods. For example the Fort Portal/Bundibugyo Road where the Lamyia bridge is affected when the river changes course. Within the rural areas, heavy rains can cause April – May due Secondary Road Transport inconveniences and disruption of transport along the to heavy rains unpaved and murrum roads. Rail Transport Not operational N/A Generally not affected by the seasons. The airports are operational all year round. However there are some risks Air Transport N/A during the season when birds are migrating as was the case in November 2010 at Entebbe Airport. Waterways Transport Not affected by the seasons N/A Koboko Area Seasonal Affects on Transport (economic, social, climate…) From LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 common modes used are motor bikes and threat; except in 2007 when bicycles – called boda bodas heavy rains affected transshipments between July – Aug. Buses and Trucks, Koboko – Kampala via All year round there is no Arua are available both day and night fundamental hindrance on express. There are 3 Bus companies; (The transport. Koboko has Secondary Road Transport Nile Coach, KKT & G/Gaa) There are many enormous potential cargo transport companies. For example, regarding fleet for cargo Civicon / Truck Oil, Abure & Sons, KKT, management. Rapid Response, Yangu, NPA, etc Rail Transport N/A (Not Available) No effect Available only between Arua – Entebbe, Air Transport N/A Gulu, Adjumani Waterways Transport N/A N/A Koboko Area Seasonal Affects on Storage and Handling (economic, social, climate…) From 1.3.3. Capacities to Respond to Emergencies The Government, through the office of the Prime Minister, makes every effort to respond to emergencies within its capacity, but also works very closely with Humanitarian organisations to meet the needs of affected communities. There is a technical team within the Office of the Prime Minister that is specifically mandated to manage disaster and refugees. The line Ministry for disaster and refugees coordinates development of capacities for prevention, preparedness, and response to natural and human induced disasters and refugees. The ministry carries out plans for food security, clearance of landmine and other explosive remnants of the war, coordinates and trains Inter-agency officers in Incident command systems in disaster management. Office of the Prime Minister assists and resettles internally displaced persons in Uganda and receives and settles refugees from other countries. (http://www.opm.go.ug/departments.php?center_id=6#) 1.3.3.1. Conflict As a signatory to Guidelines on the use of Military and Civil Defence Assets to Support United Nations Humanitarian Activities in Complex Emergencies, WFP (Who are also the appointed Logistics Cluster Lead) adhere to the principle of using the MCDA as the last resort. Military APC’s called Mambas and Buffalo’s are currently deployed by the GoU on escort duty for relief food convoys in Gulu, Kitgum, Pader and Lira Districts. Two APC’s and approximately 70-90 soldiers escort each convoy from EDP’s to relief food distribution camps and back. MCDA can be mobilised and deployed either as a decision of the Emergency Relief Coordinator through the Humanitarian Coordinator as an international effort or bilaterally. For the East Africa region the Kenyan Ministry of Defence is registered as the military asset provider by UN OCHA. The President of Kenya is the sole releasing authority for such assets and actions. Page 8 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 1.3.3.2. Natural Disasters The Department of Disaster Management and Refugees coordinates the development of capacities for the prevention, preparedness and response to natural and human induced disasters and refugees. Where there is potential for cyclic disaster, the department works with the communities on disaster preparedness and mitigation. For example in Eastern Uganda where the communities are constantly at risk of landslides, the Office of the Prime Minister through the Department of Disaster Preparedness has organised for relocation to safer areas. 1.3.3.3.

Customs Information Uganda is a landlocked country, encircled by Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, DRC and Sudan. Kenya: -There are three major crossing points: Malaba, Port Bell, Jinja Pier Rwanda: -Ngozi (Burundi) & Katuna on Rwanda border is the major transit point. DRC: -For trucks to Goma its Bunagana. -For Bunia from Pakwach and all roads to Goli -Across Lake Albert to Bunia & Ntoroko -From Kesese to DRC the transit point is Mpondwe Sudan -Kaya transit point East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004 (EACCM) www.eac.int/customs/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=125 The EACCM act regulates the management and administration of customs duties and imports in Uganda, with a decentralised system where each country collects its own revenue. This is applicable to all countries that are signatory to the East African Community collaboration. The handling of internal container depots in Uganda has been liberalized to increase revenue collection, improve cargo flow and create jobs. There are a total of 12 privately owned internal container depots (ICD) in Uganda. Goods can either be cleared at the border or at an inland depot. Organisations therefore have two options. One option is to clear at the border, and the second to clear inland. See options and circumstances below. Option 1: Ability to do clearance at the border - For organisations that already have exemption - For corporate companies especially manufacturing companies handling raw materials Option 2: Ability to do inland clearances - In circumstances where the truck arrives but does not have full documentation. The clearing company moves the cargo to an ICD and releases the trucks pending clearance To increase storage capacity a proposal has been made to Uganda Investment Authority by a private entity to establish a freight village and dry port.

The items specification, quality, packaging and labeling should be in conformity with the International standards of importation. The items imported should have a valid shelf life period; Shipping documents must be presented to relevant Customs authorities in the original form in time; mandatory tax waiver request for both food and non food items from MOFA where applicable; clearance with Communication Commission for entry of communication equipment, and National Drug Authority for Humanitarian drugs; mandatory checks (verification) at entry by regulatory authorities namely Customs, Uganda Quarantine Inspection Services, Uganda National Bureau Of Standards and the organisation should have an appointed customs clearing/forwarding agent. Does the country have specific rules for import of food (i.e. GMO-free, etc?) Yes Description Food Law regarding GM is still under formulation. The general consensus is however that GMO food stuffs are like any other on the market particularly if they are for direct consumption (eating) not for cultivation. However government prefers declaration of special properties, if any, in the food stuffs. The food should in addition be fit for human consumption, and should conform to CODEX International regulations V Foodstuffs on entry, not conforming to the prescribed standards is rejected and not allowed to be exported. It is seized and destroyed at the importers expense; For all categories of items, original shipping documents should be sent ahead of the shipments to allow time to secure the tax waivers from the tax regulating body or Ministry of Finance (MOFA) Other Government import and export restrictions if any • Used computers, fridges, TV’s and tyres • Registered Drugs • Acids • Ammunition and Arms • Explosives • Fire Works C) Duty & Tax Exemption Requirements Organizational Requirements to obtain Duty Free Status United Nations Agencies WFP imports are generally duty and Tax exempt except for purchase of non-food items where tax exemption is sought on a case by case NGOs In the past all NGO’s were tax exempt. Unfortunately the facility was abused and the Government was forced to withdraw the blanket provision. Tax and duty exemption is now granted to only diplomatic missions and on a case by case depending on the status of the project for which the exemption is being sought. If the mission or actual project/programme is in support of a specific public service i.e. health. Water, education, environment etc, the line Ministry would facilitate the tax & duty exemption application. Once the agreement is made with the line Ministry they become responsible for the tax and duty. The line Ministry issues the applying entity a promissory note (letter) with a Customs Product Code (CPC) which is passed on to the consignees Clearing Agents. The Clearing Agent enters the code into the system Page 13 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 (process is computerised). The promissory note is then approved by the Permanent Secretary of the line Ministry. The exemptions are then processed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Point to Note: Consignments can be cleared “INSITU”. This is a provision where the Clearing Agent is allowed to pre-clear consignment and release for use by the consignee indicating that that it has been released to warehouse. The Clearing Agent becomes responsibility for ensuring that exemption is obtained and submitted to the relevant authority. D) Exemption Certificate Application Procedure Duties and Taxes Exemption Application Procedure Generalities See documentation in process below Process to be followed WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME WFP imports are generally duty and Tax exempt except for purchase of non-food items where tax exemption is sought on a case by case. A tax exemption certificate is usually applied for on case by case basis and appended to the entry at the time of lodgment, in lieu of payment to the bank for non-food items. On request WFP applies a statutory Instrument enshrined in the Finance Bill for customs clearance of food NON- GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS Duty and tax exemption for NGO’s is dependent on the type of goods being imported and purpose of the goods. For humanitarian imports the Government would require: • Evidence from the country of origin. This evidence is submitted to the concerned ministry. • The consignee NGO must be registered and have a physical address in Uganda. Copies of registration must be submitted. For each import/consignment the packing list, commercial invoice, air waybill or bill of lading is sent to the Prime Minister’s office (PMO). The PMO’s office will liaise with the Treasury to endorse the permission for tax exemption. • Cover letter to office of prime minister explaining nature of your work being carried out and proof of how the work will benefit the community (ites) within Uganda in the area of operation. • Certificate of registration as a charity organisation (NGO/INGO) registration certificate in the country (Uganda). • Copies of commercial invoices/Parking list for the items to be exempted from tax. • Airway bill or Bill of Lading for the items. • If request is accepted by the Prime Minister’s office, communication is made to Ministry of Finance/Treasury to clear the taxes on behalf of the NGO/INGO. • At this point the treasury issues a tax emption letter to be presented to URA to release the said consignment with commitment of treasury to pay on behalf of the agency (NGO) For all imports the packing list, commercial invoice, airway bill or Bill of Lading must be sent to the Prime Minister’s office (PMO).

Customs Clearance Document Requirements i) Note that the standard documents used in application for tax exemption application (See Clause 1.4 E) are the same documents that are used for clearance of goods. Additional documents may be required on a case by case depending on the nature of the import. ii) Note that UN organisations, by the nature of their registration are duty and tax free. WFP food imports are tax free. However, any relief items are granted exemption on a case by case. 1.5.4.

However process (A) also applies to other humanitarian organisations and refers to transit entry clearance whereby Malaba customs clears goods to the Internal Container Depots in Kampala/Jinja etc for onward In land clearance. Outward clearance from Kenya (Export) is quite uncomplicated. Major documentation will have been done at the point of loading (Mombasa or Nairobi). At Malaba simple reconciliation is done to confirm exit and ensure that transit cargo is not dumped within Kenya. Clearance of imported goods in Uganda may involve various government agencies with different public service roles as well as standards. For example in health it would be the monitoring of standards in terms of protection of diseases on human, animals and plants. Therefore other agencies like Uganda National Bureau of Standards, Uganda Drugs Authority and Ministry of Agriculture plant Protection officers ( Uganda Quarantine Inspection Services) may be involved in physical verification of the cargo. Page 15 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 1. In bound trucks follow a queue, after clearance through the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Each truck stops at the Lower Inward Gate Uganda, the driver presents two copies of KRA Bill of Entry C63 for recording truck number, the cargo description and allocation of an inward rotation number.(Duration will depend in what position the truck is in the queue, but in all within 1hour) 2. The truck proceeds to the yard and stops at the gate entrance where the driver is issued with a parking invoice. On entering the yard each truck is then subjected to verification by three regulatory authorities. (Duration 30 minutes minimum) Uganda Revenue Authority (URA): WFP food items are not subject to full URA customs physical verification but ‘sighting’. Also a customs seal is affixed onto the fuel tank of every truck to prevent drivers from dumping fuel on the black market. Uganda Quarantine Inspection Services (UQIS): Inspectors check for any pest infestation, plant infections, grain breakage or contamination in commodities entering the country or in transit to third countries as per international conventions. Upon checking each truck, the UQIS inspector allows it in or directs fumigation or may recommend destruction, depending on the findings. For processed foodstuffs, after inspection he forwards to UNBS for quality check. Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS): Inspectors check for conformity with standards relating to quality, shelf life, packaging, and contamination in the foodstuffs and relief items. Imports meeting the required standards are allowed in, but any commodity falling short of these standards is impounded, re-exported to the country of origin or destroyed. 3. After the physical verification a truck proceeds to the parking yard. The driver hands over the two original C63 crossing copies & a copy of the WFP Waybill to the WFP clearing office at Malaba. For NGO’s the same would apply, two original C63 and a copy of the organisations waybill to their appointed agent. 4. The transporters/drivers pays URA Road user charges per truck of UGS 82,200/= for Kampala and UGS 10,000/= for Tororo respectively plus bank charges. A bank payment advice form is requested for and payment is made through the bank, the returns take not less than 4 hours before URA issues a receipt. Furthermore the transporters must pay parking fees of UGS 10,000 after every 24 hours per truck in the old yard or UGS 12,000 in the new yard. The Road User Charge receipt is handed to WFP staff/ or authorised clearing agent to attach to the entry which will be prepared as follows. 5. The WFP/NGO Uganda customs documentation commences at this point. A Customs Bill of Entry (IM4) is prepared for declaration of each truck received, by self data capture done electronically on-line with a system known as Direct Trader Input (DTI) / Automated System for Customs Data (ASYCUDA++) which is linked to the main URA server for instant data transfer from a remote DTI Centre. A hard copy print-out of each bill of entry is attached with the two C63 crossing copies plus a WFP/NGO non commercial invoice. This compilation is hand carried back to UQIS and UNBS for official certification. The UNBS also requires submission of a completed application forms indicating details relevant for import inspection and clearance. 6. Upon endorsement by UQIS and UNBS, the entries are lodged at the Customs Long-room receiving section. Here, the entry reference numbers (allocated at data capture) plus other cargo particulars are manually entered in a receiving register. Note: WFP has a blanket duty exemption on imports of Food items but for imports of Non Food Items, a specific tax exemption form is obtained from The Ministry of Foreign Affairs per consignment and attached on the Bill of Entry. NGO’s require the tax exemption without which they must pay the full tax. The Customs Long-room is a restricted area to non customs staff members. WFP/NGO staff are not exceptional in this case. Consignees and their agents therefore have limited control over the documents lodged once they are received at lodging point. The lodged entries process is however followed up Page 16 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 through window pin holes. Currently for WFP, the maximum time frame allotted within which to process a lodged home use entry is 48hrs. 7. From the Receiving section, the entry is forwarded to the Assessment desk to be vetted for any discrepancies in the declaration. The cargo value is reviewed; any errors or inconsistencies in declaration or data capture are queried and corrected. The Officer also queries the ASYCUDA++ system to determine the channel of further processing i.e. Green, Yellow or Red. Invariably if the system allocates WFP entries to the green channel the entries are forwarded to the Releasing Officer who sends the courier or agent or consignee in the case of WFP to take them to the Bonds section. 8. At the Bonds section, dispatch copies of the C63 from Kenya are attached to the original C63 Crossing copy and reconciliation is made in the register. The Entries are the sent back to the Releasing officer’s desk (In Charge Customs Long-room) 9. The Releasing Officer then reviews each entry to ensure that all procedures have been observed, prints a release order then endorses the entry as released and forwards to Separation desk. 10. At Separation desk, an entry is split into Importer’s copies and Customs Station copies. On receiving WFP/NGO copies, the authorised agent/WFP further separate office copies from driver’s copies and hand over the latter to the transporters representative or drivers. 11. Finally the driver is given his copy of the entry and clears through the upper gate. Drivers are assisted by their respective transport company representatives to flag them off. NOTE: In some cases the IM4 entries are lodged at Malaba for imports depending on the organisations planning and requirements. This saves money and time since the same 8 stages of customs process will be repeated for inland clearance at ICD in Kampala. B) Customs Clearance for Import by Rail In 2005 the Government of Kenya and a the Government of Uganda outsourced the management of the Kenya Railways and Uganda Railways to the Rift Valley Railways Consortium (RVR) from South Africa. The selection of RVR management was done through competitive bidding. For humanitarian organisations importing via rail transport CIP Kampala, the goods are cleared in transit by Rift Valley Railways at Tororo to Kampala for final clearance. The Procedures for clearance of inbound cargo conveyed by Railway bear some similarity with stages 1 to 8 outlined above albeit with an older version of customs regime. Processing is done at the Tororo Railway Station & Tororo Customs Station, about 17 Km away from the Malaba border point. This following process is customised to WFP because of the presence of their warehouses in Tororo. In the past, from the Kenyan port of Mombasa, the trains were operated by Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC). On arrival at Malaba Railway Station the KRC cleared the wagons to cross into Uganda. KRC locomotives would then terminate their journey at this point. The Rift Valley Railways (RVR) now has the concession to operate the KRC and URC. Once in Uganda, RVR dispatches locomotives from Tororo across the border, to marshal and shunt the wagons to Tororo Railway Station Interstate yard. The wagons consigned to WFP Kampala are cleared by RVR as transit and manifested for onward rail to Kampala. The wagons consigned to WFP Tororo are marshaled at the Goods shed pending customs clearance by the WFP office or its designated agent. 1. Every morning WFP clearing staff/agent goes to the Tororo Railway Station and first take stand age of the newly arrived wagons. They then proceed to the customs office and receive the C63s for the Tororo bound wagons and proceed to the RVR Goods Agent who raises the wagon consignment notes accordingly. 2. These documents are compiled to make a Customs Bill of Entry (IM4) declaration for all the wagons manifested and a Cargo receipt is issued by the customs office for RVR to immediately shunt the wagons to WFP Tororo Warehouse rail siding. Page 17 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 3. The IM4 Entry is taken to URA Tororo Customs Long room for registration and data capture. Note this customs station has not yet upgraded to ASYCUDA ++ therefore no self data capture is yet possible here but is done by a customs officer at the station. 4. A Customs Verification Officer is assigned to inspect the cargo at the warehouse siding and offloading can proceed, in the presence of the freight forwarders representative’s i.e. of nominated WFP forwarders at Mombasa Port. 5. The Verification Officer writes a Verification Account detailing the cargo s\he has inspected. 6. The IM4 entry is forwarded for valuation and assessment. In case of a rejection we are notified and make the amendment. 7. Finally the IM4 entry is released and forwarded for separation. 8. At separation desk, importers copies are split from Customs station copies. Note: It was intended that with effect from July 2006 there would be joint Kenya/Uganda Customs border clearance for inbound cargo by Rail, at Malaba, Kenya Railway Station. Entry document processing will no longer be at Tororo but at URA Customs Malaba, Uganda, using the Electronic on-line DTI ASYCUDA system already in use for cargo by Road. Todate this has only been partially implemented to the extent that there are KRA officers who sit in URA offices and vice versa. But full joint border operations have not yet been practically implemented. This collaboration is a project by the World Bank. Before the computerised system came into place it was possible to do a pre-clearance of goods pending approval of duty and tax exemption. The current system does not have a provision for this. To facilitate smooth flow of humanitarian assistance a new process INSITU has been introduced. The Clearing agent is able to pre-clear goods into a “warehouse” but releases them for use by the consignee pending receipt of the exemption. The agent then becomes responsible to the Government for the follow-up of the exemption for submission to customs. C) Transit Regime Landlocked Countries Is the country landlocked? Yes If yes, name the surrounding states: Kenya, Sudan, DRC, Rwanda, and Tanzania In terms of transit, is there an agreement between these states and the LCA state? Uganda generally allows transshipment of goods into neighbouring countries provided the import and re- export is in compliance with the government import rules and regulations provided. Is the transit country “inclined” to facilitate the transit? Yes Is there a WFP presence in the transit state/s? Yes Facilitation at entry and exit border points; monitor/track movement of If yes, describe the support vehicles within the transit country and security. For WFP to provide such WFP can provide if requested services a request would have to be made in writing. Transit Regime Transit Regime for goods passing through Uganda to neighbouring countries i.e. South Sudan, DRC etc Customs Guidance for Transit Items Documentation • Commercial Invoice showing items are in transit. • Airway bill or bill of lading • Packing list Procedure • Transit document one (T1) is prepared and entered into the customs system that these particular items have entered the country. • If items come by air, the items will be kept in customs warehouse until next transport to the destination is arranged. • If the items come by sea or road, a customs seal is put on to the consignment after reconciling the Page 18 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 content with the invoice and packing list at the boarder (or entry point) and the items driven in to customs bonded warehouse. But if transport is available the items will be immediately dispatched. • A re-export document is prepared when transport to the final destination is available. This is done so as to reflect in the customs system that the items that entered the country have been transited out of the country under customs watch. 1.5.5.

The bond papers are usually surrendered to the Clearing Agent who then follows- up with the Authorities Clearing System Organizations are not allowed to clear goods unless they are registered with a clearing firm. In the past (2006) organisations did their own clearance. Clearance fees vary depending on the nature of cargo. INGO goods on transit incur handling, documentation and C/A fees at port of dock / entry ONLY. But go un taxed across the transit countries (eg via Uganda – thru Koboko / Oraba clearance). Organisations will only pay some minimum tax for processing clearances to the C/A while on transit and only pay tax (with Tax Waiver provision) at receiving country eg Sudan. 1.5.5.4.

These regulations apply to all seaports in Kenya and passenger ships, cargo ships of 500 GRT (Gross Registered Tonnage) or more and mobile offshore drilling units on international voyages Security Level 1 applies in Kenya territorial waters and seaports. Any change of security level or its area of application will be communicated by notices to mariners, navigational warnings, circulars, VHF communication or any other appropriate means Port Security in Kenya has been tightened considerably following the events of 11 September 2001 and the sharp rise in terrorist incidents worldwide. Until recently KPA was concerned mainly with cargo security. But now in common with other port authorities around the world KPA is focusing its attention on the security of everyone visiting its ports and using their facilities In the Port of Mombasa, the Authority has introduced a number of measures to make the port a safer place for business which includes: • New electronic surveillance equipment including CCTV • Coastguard surveillance of waters in port area • New search and rescue centre set up jointly with the IMO to supplement sea surveillance • Plain-clothes and uniformed security officers on patrol in port areas • Strict controls on port entry with all port users and visitors required to display passes • Restricted entry to container terminal and other key sections • Continuously manned watch towers in car handling area and container terminal • A rapid response team to deal with urgent security matters in or near the port area • A centralised verification area at the container terminal, car handling area and the CFS • Barriers at port gates to deter forced entry and ensure proper security checks • New cargo scanning system to allow containers to be checked without stripping – thus helping to reduce pilferage Back to Top of Chapter or back to Table of Contents Page 33 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 2.3. The Port of Dar-es-Salaam 2.3.1. Overview • The Port of Dar-es-Salaam is located on the African east coast approximately midway between the South African port Durban and major ports in the Red Sea and Middle East. Its historical background dates back to 1867 when Sultan Seyyid Majid of Zanzibar selected Dar-es-Salaam to be a major port, caravan and commercial centre. Since that time Dar-es-Salaam has developed gradually into an important, expanded and modern international port. • The Port handle imports for Rwanda, Malawi, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda. It has 11 deep-water berths of which three berths are for containerised freight and the other eight berths are for general cargo operations. Dar es Salaam port has a rated capacity of 4.1 million (dwt) dry cargo, 6.0 million (dwt) bulk liquid cargo and handles about 95% of the Tanzania international trade. It is also a freight link to middle and Far East, Europe, Australia and America. 2.3.2.

Oil Handling Terminals There is an off-shore tanker berth with facilities for anchorage of large tankers to moor and discharge crude oil direct from ships at a rate of 5,000 Mt per hour. It has the capacity to berth tankers up to 120,000 dead- weight tonnes (DWT). The Kurasinin Oil jetty handles refined oil products and can handle ships of up to 45,000 DWT. 2.3.2.6. Bulk Grain Handling Fully automated silos are operational at the Grain Terminal for handling Import and Export grains. Bulk cargo such as maize, wheat, beans, rice and fertilizer are handled at the silos, which are also aerated, and Page 36 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 temperature controlled. The terminal has the capacity to store up to 30,000 Mt at any one time. It also has fumigation and aeration facilities to preserve grain at prescribed international standards. The terminal is equipped with three bagging plants and a fleet of 10 dump trucks, of 9 Mt each. However experience shows that not all trucks are functional. In theory the bagging capacity of the three plants is 90 Mt per hour in 50 kg bags working simultaneously at 30 Mt per hour each but in reality, it only operates at 50 – 60% capacity. The silos have two receiving lines of 125 Mt per hour. These lines consist of two dump pits, two independent conveyors, 2-bucket elevators and two distribution chain conveyors on deck. There are three outtake lines of 125 Mt per line per hour to the bagging station consisting of three belt conveyors and one-bucket elevator. The three bagging lines consisting of one surge bin, with holding capacity of about 100 Mt feeding three bagging lines with automatic weighting and sewing capacity each line 30 Mt per hour. There are two recirculation lines of 125 Mt per hour consisting of two belt conveyors one-chain conveyors, on bucket and one bucket elevator and two distributing chain conveyors on also deck and there are 16 direct trucks loading spouts and one central truck loading point. Discharge of bulk maize of over 2,400 Mt has been achieved and this can be increased up to 4,000 Mt per day with constant supervision however, actual bagging rates are between 1,000 – 1,200 Mt per day. There are no vacuvators on site. 2.3.2.7. Grain Handling - Bagging Previously the bagging contractor was Nectar who was dismissed and now the TPA provides this service. They have recently purchased four new bagging units. • 4 bagging machines with 2 lines each, bagging capacity each of 60 mt per line per hour • 3 old bagging machines with 1 line each with bagging capacity is 50 mt/hour • 3 bagging plants at grain terminal with 30 mt per line per hour capacity. • 2 x 20 mt grabs are expected to be delivered to the port in Sept ’07. • 2 x 5 mt & 2 x 8 mt are expected to be delivered to the port in Aug ’07. • 2 weighbridges, 1 at the grain terminal and the other one at check point close to gate #3 • 10 Trucks for carrying grain to and from the ship. • There are no vacuvators 2.3.2.8. Discharge Rates For bulk cargo over 4,500 mt per day has been achieved in optimal conditions. For general cargo, depending on number of hatches, over 2,000 mt per day is possible. However due to imminent privatization and because the former bagging contractor, Nectar being dismissed actual discharge rates vary significantly according to supervision levels. Direct off take by rail ex-Dar-es-Salaam has been negligible for break bulk cargo due to government policy of using all locomotives and wagons for containerized cargo. As a result WFP has been obliged to create a trans-shipment point ex Dodoma where trucks are offloaded onto wagons and from there proceed on to Isaka and Kigoma. WFP off-take by truck has reached 1,500 Mt per day ex Dar port, but tonnages change when there is more commercial cargo in the port. For containerized cargo Dar port is reputed to discharge 20 TEU’s per hour. This productivity is higher than the one in neighbouring countries. Discharge Rates mt per day Bulk Bagged To Warehouse 2,500 2,000 To Rail-wagons 1,500 1,500 To Trucks 1,500 1,500 Page 37 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 2.3.2.9.

Customs Clearance – Transit cargo The process for clearing transit freight is as follows; Process is much the same as 1-7 above (some regulatory bodies such as TBS and Radiation might not apply) but for transit cargo the situation becomes more complicated in so far as the release of trucks is concerned. At present most transit trucks are going to Dodoma for direct truck to wagons transfer. 1. Truck lists have to be submitted on a daily basis to TRC so they verify to Customs Wharf by means of a letter that the cargo is indeed going to be loaded onto rail at Dodoma. 2. Once this letter is ready the clearing agents compiles a C12 to be submitted to Customs Wharf along with the TRC letter (C12 form is generated with the trucks registration no) 3. Customs wharf has to clear the C12 where after the documents are sent to the sealing office (just below WFP Port Office) 4. Customs sealing officer puts remarks on the relevant documents, seals the trucks individually and then puts the paper work in a sealed envelope which travels with the trucks through two checkpoints within Dar-es-Salaam City limits.

These have been rented out to private operators. There is a Port Yard that can handle on the rails about 150 - 200 cargo wagons. Additionally, over 1,000 wagons can be handled at Upper Yard. • Cargo handling equipment is not available. The existing forklifts are not in working condition. Therefore, private operators are utilizing their own equipment. Otherwise, there is manual handling through casual labour at US$3-4 / day / person. The port of Kisumu is treated as a transit point by the Kenyan Railways, roll-on / rolloff. 2.4.1.7. Container Handling Equipment • Cargo handling equipment is not available. Therefore, private operators are utilizing their own equipment. Kisumu is treated as a transit point by the Kenyan Railways, roll-on / rolloff. 2.4.1.8. Port Cost for Bulk / Bagged Cargo Vessels • N/A the port of Kisumu is treated as a transit point for the Kenyan Railways, roll-on / rolloff.

Currently, operations depend on vessel's navigation aids. • Problems related to the presence of hyacinths (type of fast growing weed) in the water that obstruct the water transport. Currently, an American environmental firm has a project to remove the hyacinth. 2.4.2. Mwanza Port • Mwanza has the main port facilities on Lake Victoria which consists of two facilities: Mwanza North Port and Mwanza South Port. • Mwanza North Port is a passenger terminal capable of handling more than 150,000 passengers per year and 20,000 mt of parcels and luggage. The port has no material handling facilities so loading and discharging of cargo is normally done using a ships’ derrick. • Mwanza South Port consists of a cargo terminal capable of handling at least 500,000 mt of both local and transit cargo to Uganda per year. It has a link span for fastening rail wagons. • The quay draught is 7 m and the length is 12 m. Ships anchoring at Mwanza Port should have their own loading and off-loading facilities since the port has no cargo handling equipment. 2.4.3. Ports within Uganda 2.4.3.1. Description • Inland water transport system in Uganda is divided into Lake Victoria to Kenya and Tanzania and Lake Albert to DRC where truck ferries operate. 2.4.3.2.

The Soroti-Dokolo – Lira road is new and recently upgraded to tarmac. Of the paved, 600 kms is not in very good condition • The Uganda road network supports the neighbouring countries of DRC and South Sudan • The road from Entebbe to Kampala, onward to Arua and the areas of Gulu is now paved and has made access easier • However the Dungu road to DRC is in a bad condition and has temporary bridges. This has necessitated prepositioning of supplies at Koboko to avoid the rainy season challenges. Entebbe- Kampala road Dungu Road Bridge on Dungu road 2.3.2.

Page 59 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 To reduce the delays at weighbridges, the Kenya National Highway Authorities (KeNHA) plans to develop highly automated Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) and Static Weighbridges on both sides of the Nairobi – Mombasa road at the sites of the existing weighbridges at Mariakani and Athi River. This compares with the current situation where only static weighbridges are to be found at each station and weighing is carried out on one side of the carriageway, forcing a constant stream of vehicles to cross over from the opposite lane for weighing. The duplex format (weighing on both sides) will enhance safety, efficiency of operation and overall compliance (KeNHA) The WIM equipment will act as a filter for trucks that are compliant with legal axle load limits. Such compliant trucks will therefore not have to stop at weighbridges, saving hours of weighbridge waiting time per trip. The static weighbridges will provide high accuracy measurements for enforcement purposes.

Bridges • The country roads in Uganda have many bridges. There are a few that could be of immediate concern to humanitarian organisations and may affect humanitarian response activities. These are: • Ishash – Kanungu (Uganda/DRC border). • Ntwera Bridge (Padero/Kitugum). • Shasha Bridge • Kases – Mbonda Bridge • Kabale – Katuma Bridge, specifically affected by rainfall in the mountain which flows with a lot of silt • Malaba Bridge • Goli Bridge in Arua (Hebi/Pidha) • Aswa Bridge in Gulu area. It is under construction. • Kitugum – Onyama Atyak • Fort Portal – Bundibugyo. This road is under construction. The Lamya Bridge on this road is very troublesome and is affected as the river changes course. The Ugandan Government is willing to work with the Congolese Government to repair the road. In Kenya the ones of concern along the Mombasa – Malaba stretch are: • Stoni – Athi River section, a recently constructed bridge • Bridge at Timborua. The A new bridge being constructed, should be completed 2011. The bridge is however useable within the provided axle load limits. • Malaba Bridge. The process of constructing a new boarder post has started. Please see annex 5.1 for detailed information on bridges along the following roads in Uganda. • Nebbi – Arua • Pakwach – Inde – Ocoko • Pakwach – Nebbi • Inde - Rhinocamp • Pakwach – Panyimur • Nebbi – Goli • Manibe – Koboko • Koboko – Yumbe • Koboko – Oraba • Wandi - Yumbe Back to Top of Chapter or back to Table of Contents Page 62 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 2.4. Railway Assessment Page 63 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 2.4.1. Overview • The country has about 1,350 kms of rail lines, but most of it is not currently in use • A railroad originating at Mombasa on the Indian Ocean connects with Tororo, where it branches westward to Jinja, Kampala, and Kasese and northward to Mbale, Soroti, Lira, Gulu, and Pakwach. • Uganda's important road and rail links to Mombasa serve its transport needs and also those of its neighbors… Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of D.R. Congo and Sudan • The Northern Line (251 km) from Tororo & Malaba to Kampala is 251 km. This line forms part of the Northern Corridor between Kampala and Mombasa. • It provides connections to the Ports of Mombasa in Kenya via Malaba by rail and both rail and marine through Port Bell in Uganda and Kisumu in Kenya and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania through Mwanza. • The rail service runs block trains carrying imports and exports • The 146 km Loop Line skirting Lake Kyoga; Malaba – Soroti Line (161 km) opened in 2006 and RVR plans to extend this route to Gulu, work is currently underway on this route • Lines that were not economically viable are currently suspended, cover the following sections: - The Kampala – Kasese Line (333 kms) - Kampala – Gulu (342 Kms) - Northern Line from Soroti to Packwach (341 kms) - Busoga Line from Jinja – Mbulamuti – Busembatia (146 kms) • Despite the difficulties with the Railway at the moment, the RVR has improved upon its marketing strategy through: - Movement of block train between Kampala and Nairobi - The use of single consignment notes has made it easier for customers to pay at a one-stop point. - The installation of Monitoring Rail Tracker Software, (ACK) has enhanced customer satisfaction - There is also a plan to connect the railway to Juba in future. 2.4.2. Network Contraction • Of the 5 railway lines that make up Uganda’s railway system, only the Kampala – Malaba (Kenya Border) line and the short Kampala - Port Bell and recently started Malaba – Mbale – Soroti line remain officially operational • RVR is slowly building network to North and plans to expend Northern Line from Soroti to Lira. 2.4.3.

Railway Link to Marine Services • In addition to the overall rail network, URC offers marine freight services across Lake Victoria • Wagon ferries are used via the ports of Jinja and Port Bell to link Uganda to Mombasa through Kisumu Port and Dar es Salaam through Mwanza Port. Ferry distances are: 1. Port Bell – Kisumu (244 km) 2. Port Bell – Mwanza (320 km) • RVR owns and operates 3 wagon ferries on Lake Victoria from Port Bell and Jinja in Uganda to Kisumu in Kenya and Mwanza in Tanzania • In addition, Kenya Railways Corporation and Tanzania Railways Corporation each owns and operates one wagon ferry on the lake from Kisumu and Mwanza to Port Bell - Jinja respectively • The marine vessels are purely cargo • The maximum capacity of each wagon ferry is 880 mt i.e. 22 wagons loaded 40 mt each. • However these wagon ferries are not enough to handle the present cargo traffic. • The effective performance of the rail – ferry route via Mwanza is heavily influenced by: - The performance of Tanzanian Railways Corporation (TRC) - Tanzanian customs officials at Mwanza and Dar Es Salaam - The efficiency of Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) 2.4.7. Problems encountered in the Northern Corridor • The Northern Corridor is the most viable international surface transport corridor for Uganda. The main problems encountered on this corridor that contribute to higher than necessary transport costs include: - Poor and deteriorating road conditions - the Kenyan sector of the road route especially between Nairobi and Mombasa - Poor discharge rate and bureaucratic delays at Mombasa port - Preference to Kenyan cargo in terms of customs clearance and availability of wagons - Shortage of railway wagons - Shortage of trucking capacity between Uganda and Mombasa - URC lacking Railway engine capacity. Back to Top of Chapter or back to Table of Contents Page 65 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 2.5. Waterways Assessment 2.5.1. Waterways Overview The inland water transport system in Uganda is divided as Lake Victoria transport and transport on the remaining five lakes and six rivers. Lake Albert provides truck ferries to DRC. Page 66 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 The Port of Kisumu in Kenya is part of the Northern Corridor transport system. The Kisumu route does not attract transit to Uganda due to the low capacity of the Nakuru – Kisumu railway track. This route connects Kenya to both Tanzania and Uganda through Lake Victoria. Unfortunately it can only support low axle loads. The growth of the hyacinth has only worsened the situation and even further affected vessel movement. 2.5.2. Lake Victoria Transport: Uganda does not have river ports but has two inland ports on Lake Victoria. That is the Jinja pier and Port Bell. Only one ship operates between Port Bell and Kampala. Uganda also utilises the neighbouring country lake ports of Mwanza in Tanzania and Kisumu in Kenya. The Rift Valley Railways operates services from Port of Mombasa to Tororo/Kampala while marine services operate between ports of Port Bell and Jinja to Kisumu in Kenya, and to Mwanza and Bukoba in Tanzania. International lake transport is currently grouped with rail transport and the international ferry services (wagon ferry services) to Kisumu and Mwanza. The domestic lake transport, like river transport, is now mainly a small-scale private sector activity with minimal fixed infrastructure support 2.5.3. Storage Facilities Due to nature of integrated system, there is no storage space available Page 67 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 2.6. Storage Assessment 2.6.1. Storage Overview • Storage for humanitarian organisations is generally available in Uganda • Currently, organisations manage their own storage, however WFP Uganda can provide storage services to other humanitarian organisations on request • Organisations make a request direct to WFP in cubic meters. If the request is granted an agreement is prepared and signed between the two entities. 2.6.2.

Logistics Services 3.2. Fuel 3.2.1. Background • Due to the landlocked nature of Uganda, almost all of its oil and oil products are transported through Kenya via the port of Mombasa. The oil industry in Kenya is represented by both the Government and private companies. Therefore, any events in the Kenya oil industry have an impact on the Uganda oil industry. • The Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited, Kenya Pipeline Company Limited, National Oil Corporation of Kenya (www.nockenya.co.ke) and Rift Valley Railways represent the government’s presence in the petroleum industry. The Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited is owned on a 50:50 equity holding between the government and three shippers, namely, Shell, British Petroleum and Caltex. The Kenya Pipeline Company Limited, Rift Valley Railways and private transporters are involved in transportation of petroleum products from Mombasa to other parts of the country and neighbouring countries such as Uganda. • National Oil Corporation of Kenya Limited was incorporated in 1981 under the Companies Act. The company's main objective then was to coordinate oil exploration (upstream) activities. In 1988 the company was mandated on behalf of the government to supply 30% of the country's crude oil requirements that would in turn be sold to oil marketing companies for refining and onward sale to consumers.

Summary of Role and Services • Established by the Kenya Government in 1973, the company is wholly owned by the government and operates under the parentage of Ministry of Energy • It was mandated to construct, operate and maintain a multi-products pipeline from Mombasa to the hither land • The 480 km long pipeline to Nairobi (Line 1) was commissioned in 1978 • Following the successful completion of the pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi in 1991 the 446km expansion of the pipeline to Western Kenya towns of Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu (Line 2 and 3) was successfully completed and commissioned in 1994. • By 2007 the pipeline no longer had sufficient capacity to meet demand and a new contract was awarded to a Chinese contractor for additional pipeline construction, however, this will not be completed for some time to come • The pipeline supplies fuel for Uganda. During the early part of 2007 this supply line experienced a three-fold increase in demand from a number of factors. A drop in hydro electricity generation placed more demand on oil fired thermal electricity generating units, failures with the pipeline to Eldoret and Kisumu and a big increase in diesel for road transport to South Sudan and the D.R. Congo. • During periods of shortages road transport is used to make-up the shortfall which further increases consumption and adds additional pressure on transport capacity for humanitarian organisations. 3.2.2. Uganda Overview • Uganda does not have any petroleum refinery capacity. All fuel is imported from the Mombasa Refinery in Kenya. It’s delivered by pipeline up to Eldoret and Kisumu and then to Uganda by rail and road. 3.2.2.1. Supply • Most of Uganda’s’ petroleum products come via Mombasa. The Mombasa refinery in Kenya has a capacity of 4 mm ton per annum. • The existing refinery at Vadinar in India has a processing capacity of 240,000 bpd (10.5 mm ton a year) Page 74 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 Main Contacts Name Telephone E-mail Ministry of Energy +254 20 310 112 [email protected] Kenya Petroleum +254 41 222 0684 [email protected] Kenya Authorities Refineries Ltd.

Fuel Supply & Storage • In 2009, the GoU set aside land for the construction of a fuel reservoir by Libya’s Tamoil • The fuel storage terminal was scheduled to take 15 months to complete. The terminal would be located near Kampala and serve Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi • It would have 24 installed reservoir tanks and an optimum capacity of 160 million liters of oil products • www.petroleumafrica.com • Uganda has 3 oil product storage facilities. One is in Jinja (east), one in Gul (north) and another in Kasese (southwest) with a capacity to store millions of liters of fuel. Unfortunately none of these are currently functional • According to Government sources, the Government was processing the procurement of private partners to service, refurbish, restock, operate and manage the fuel reserve facility at Jinja. • Uganda uses over 1.2 million litres of diesel, 543,000 of petrol and 300,000 of jet fuel daily • www.busiweek.com/10/page.php?aid=1485 3.2.2.3. Fuel Pricing • Uganda is a landlocked country and depends on the Northern Corridor from Mombasa port • A disruption in this corridor has an impact on the supply of petroleum products on the Ugandan market. • For example, the post election violence in Kenya in 2008 had a negative impact on the fuel availability and pricing. The prices reached a record high of UGS 10,000 ($5) per liter. Page 75 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 • In 1994, the GoU deregulated the oil sector. The supply of fuel is therefore determined by private oil companies and the price by market forces Fuel Prices as of: 31st Dec 2010 (local currency Petrol (per litre) UGS 3,500 per litre Diesel (per litre) UGS 2,500 per litre Kerosine (per litre) UGS 2,020 per litre 3.2.2.4. Fuel Supply • In the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2010, Uganda suffered a fuel crises that resulted in fuel shortages on the local market causing fuel prices to reach a high of UGS 4,000 per litre of petrol and UGS 2,500 for diesel • The fuel pipeline was not able to meet local needs so the GoU introduced a system where fuel firms would be required to import as a single unit. Previously fuel was imported through multiple sources. • With the new open tender system, licenses will be awarded to companies with the ability to import large volumes 3.2.2.5. Fuel Demand Demand Local Supply Does local supply (domestic refinery production and imports combined) meet the needs of Uganda, especially for aviation and ground fuels? Yes V Not consistent Uganda is dependent on the Kenya pipeline and corridor.

Fuel Transportation Transportation How is internal transportation of fuel products carried out? Fuel movement within Kenya is by pipeline. That is from Mombasa to Eldoret and then primarily by road to Kampala. There are railway services, but due to the poor conditions of the rail network, rail is not used as much. Is the transportation infrastructure and fleet sufficient to handle current domestic needs as well as increased demand in the event of an upscale in humanitarian operations. R Yes No Fuel distribution by road is well organised but fuel shortages do occur due to the fuel pipeline having insufficient capacity to meet demand. A new pipeline is planned but this will not be operational for several years. In 2010, there has been disruption in the transportation of fuel as a result of delays at the borders due to lengthy customs procedures and new axle load requirements in Kenya.

Back to Top of Chapter or back to Table of Contents Page 77 LCA - Republic of Uganda Version 1.05 3.3. Electricity & Power 3.3.1. Electricity Overview • The demand for electric power in Uganda has risen tremendously since the 1990s’ leading to the construction of a third dam on the River Nile 10 km north of the two existing dams located where the river leaves Lake Victoria. The low water levels continue to be a challenge in power generation. The effect of excessive demand on the existing generators is evident as demand outstrips supply. • The enactment of the Electricity Act 1999 removed the monopoly in power generation, transmission and distribution, and established the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) and resulting in the creation of three power utilities. That is the Uganda Electricity Generation Company (UEGC), Uganda Electricity Transmission Company (UETC) and Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDC). A private power consortium, Umeme Ltd, joined the distribution concession in March 2005. • At the time, the country’s hydropower generation capacity was at about 180 MW. The construction of the Kiira power station increased the capacity by 200 MW, making a total of 380 MW. But, the prolonged four year-drought reduced Lake Victoria water levels cutting down hydropower generation to 120 MW. The demand for electricity went up to 260 MW during the day and rising to 360 MW in the evening. • To meet this shortage, the Government procured 100 MW of thermal generators for installation at Lugogo and Jinja and planned to procure additional thermal generators at Mutundwe and Namanve. However, the introduction of diesel-powered generators impacted the power tariffs resulting in two increments within a year. • The Government initiated development of the Karuma hydropower project as a strong private-public partnership with Norpak as the strategic investor. To meet the energy needs by 2025, the Government’s long-term strategy is to develop the other Victoria Nile hydropower sites, effect grid connection with the region as well as developing the renewable energy resources including small hydro, biomass, peat and geothermal plants. • The other Victoria Nile hydropower sites include 300 MW Ayago North, 200 MW Ayago south and 450 MW Murchison falls. Over 48 small and mini hydro sites with capacity to generate more than 50 MW have been identified and ready for interested investors. In order to promote investments on small renewable energy like mini hydro plants, the Government will publish a standardized power purchase agreement stating applicable power tariffs or the feed in tariffs which power producers will get. • In the 3rd and the 4th quarters of 2010, the fuel crises led to a reduction in supply of thermal power by Aggreko and Jacobsen Uganda. The Government is taking measures to resolve the fuel crises issue. Uganda and Egypt are currently discussing the possibility of building a huge electricity plant. It will be a joint venture to produce 1,700 MW of hydroelectric power in Uganda. • Following the power sector reform and liberalization policy of the Government of Uganda that unbundled Uganda Electricity Board (UEB) into successor companies the three main power generating companies are Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL), Uganda Electricity Generation Company Ltd and Uganda Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd (UEDCL). Producer / Distributor Telephone & Fax Email/Website Uganda Electricity Generation Company Ltd, Tel: +256 41 425 4071 Email: Amber House, Fax: +256 41 423 5119 Web: Kampala Road, P.O.

Scenarios & Contingencies The following sub-chapters attempt to map the potential scenarios as outlined in the inter-agency contingency planning exercises, assess the impact and expected response. 4.2. Scenario #1: Refugees & IDP’s Most Likely Location Impact Measures Influx of refugees. Case The Government would Northern There are currently 3 camps load expected is need to set up additional Uganda that can accommodate 30,000 between 20 – 80,000 camps The supply corridor for eastern Supply Corridors Western and DRC – Dungu via Gulu is a possible staging disrupted Northern Koboko/Yambio in Sudan may area be affected Construction of a fuel reservoir by the Government and prepositioning by May cause shortages and a Fuel Crises Country-wide humanitarian organisations rapid increase in price. in strategic areas where access is not affected during heavy rains. 4.2.1. Logistics Considerations Existing Capacities / augmentation vis a vis scenario The infrastructure at Koboko transshipment office is good and Gulu is a possible General staging area for air operations. There are over 10,000 mt of storage capacities available. As part of its emergency Storage preparedness and to ensure improved pipeline management, WFP proposes to preposition stocks in Kenya and Uganda (from local purchase) There is currently adequate transport. However, in the event of an emergency, additional capacity would be required to meet the transport needs of humanitarian Transport organisations. The existing capacity is being reviewed. The identification of Transporters willing to work in South Sudan is ongoing – WFP. WFP is considering the establishment of a regional fleet as part of its contingency planning. There are limited fuel supply facilities in Gulu. Humanitarian organisations would need to make arrangements with fuel companies to make to provide fuel. WFP Regional Fuel Aviation proposes to have discussions with oil Companies on supply of fuel and management of a bowser. Fuel requirements from Southern Sudan and DRC, may be purchased for possible prepositioning. 4.3. Scenario #2: Natural Disaster Potential Case Estimated Most Likely Location Who? Quantity Load Relief Items Whole villages North & Government & submerged and Floods Eastern Variable Humanitarian - communities Uganda organisations displaced Varies Government The East and depending on and Landslides North-eastern Variable - the extent of Humanitarian Regions the damage Organisations This area suffers from major landslides during the heavy rainy season as was the case in the mountainous eastern region of Bududa in Uganda in March 2010.
