  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

  • Bujagali Final Report
    INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL COMPLIANCE REVIEW REPORT ON THE BUJAGALI HYDROPOWER AND INTERCONNECTION PROJECTS June 20, 2008 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IRM Compliance Review Panel could not have undertaken and completed this report without the generous assistance of many people in Uganda and at the African Development Bank. It wishes to express its appreciation to all of them for their cooperation and support during the compliance review of the Bujagali Hydropower and Interconnection projects. The Panel thanks the Requesters and the many individuals from civil society and the communities that it met in the Project areas and in Kampala for their assistance. It also appreciates the willingness of the representatives of the Government of Uganda and the projects’ sponsors to meet with the Panel and provide it with information during its visit to Uganda. The Panel acknowledges all the help provided by the Resident Representative of the African Development Bank in Uganda and his staff and the willing cooperation it has received from the Bank’s Management and staff in Tunis. The Panel appreciates the generous cooperation of the World Bank Inspection Panel which conducted its own review of the “UGANDA: Private Power Generation Project”. The Compliance Review Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel coordinated their field investigations of the Bujagali projects and shared consultants and technical information during this investigation in order to enhance the efficiency and cost effectiveness of each of their investigations. While this collaboration between the Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel worked to the mutual benefit of both parties, each Panel focused its compliance review on its own Bank’s policies and procedures and each Panel has made its own independent judgments about the compliance of its Management and staff with its Bank’s policies and procedures.

  • 24-Investigation Report (English)
    1 Part One Introduction 2 Chapter 1 The Projects and Their Financing 1. This Report addresses questions concerning three IDA-financed projects in Uganda: namely, (1) the Power III Project, otherwise known as the Owen Falls Extension; the Supplemental Loan to the Power III Project; (2) the Power IV Project, which finances power generation Units 14 and 15, (the latter if economically viable); and (3) the Bujagali Hydropower Project.1 1.1. The Power III Project (Owen Falls Extension) 2. In the mid-1980s, soon after IDA recommenced its involvement in Uganda, a severe deterioration of power infrastructure was identified as a serious obstacle to the revival of the commodity-producing sectors of the economy. In 1988, with IDA’s assistance, the Government began work on the Power III Project. According to the Development Credit Agreement for the Project, its objectives were to: “ (a) assist the Borrower with the continued rehabilitation of the power system in Uganda; and (b) develop its hydroresources and expand the transmission and distribution system, to provide reliable, least-cost energy to Uganda's growing population.”2 The Project provided for: a) “… dam strengthening, construction of a spillway, plant capacity expansion by at least 102MW, and civil works to accommodate a plant capacity of 170MW; b) rehabilitation and expansion of transmission and distribution on the national grid; and c) provision of technical assistance services mainly to the Uganda Electricity Board (UEB) and the Ministry of Energy.” 3 IDA provided a credit of SDR 86,900,000 (about US$125 million) for this work. The projects included the installation of three units (11, 12 and 13) and provided capacity for two additional units in the future.

  • Bujagali Energy Limited Project Number
    BUJAGALI ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT SUMMARY Project Title: Bujagali Energy Limited Project Number: P-UG-FAB-008 Country: Uganda Department: Energy Financial Solutions, Policy & Regulation Division: Energy Financial Solutions Project Category: 1 1.0 Introduction Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL) is owned by SG Bujagali Holdings Ltd (an affiliate of Sithe Global Power LLC), Jubilee Insurance Company Ltd., as well as the Africa Power Platform PCC, which is owned by CDC (the UK’s Development Finance Institution), the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) and IPS Kenya (“the Sponsors”). Operations and Maintenance Energy (Uganda) Limited (O&ME) operates the Hydropower project. The Bujagali Project is a 250MW hydropower facility — developed through a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) model — on the Victoria Nile River near the town of Jinja. It reached financial close in 2007, eight years after Government of Uganda (GoU) liberalized its electricity sector in 1999. When commissioned in 2012, it did not only displace expensive emergency power generation, but also contributed towards paving the way for a handful of other smaller scale IPPs that will provide more than 200 MW of small hydro, solar, and bagasse power to the network by around 2020. However, to drive the country’s industrialization program, the GoU is actively looking for ways to reduce the country’s electricity tariffs. In this context, and based on the projected tariff profile, the Bujagali tariff is set to increase from 11.3 US cents/kWh in 2016 to 13.3 US cents/kWh in 2018 and to 14.7 US cents by 2023 due to end of a tax ‘holiday’ (accelerated depreciation) and the debt amortization — before decreasing to 7 US cents/kWh from 2024.
