Problems facing mining are physical and human

 Exhaustion of minerals like wolfram in kabala, tin in kitagate.  High cost of mineral exploration like oil around L Albert and gold in karamoja  Minerals in small qualities and scattered like iron ore and tin in kabala, gold in Busia,
Karamoja
 Poor quality minerals which are unecommercial like copper in kilembe,iron ore in kabala  Poor science and technology affecting exploitation like oil in semuliki valley, gold in karamoja.
 Limited capital for investment leading to mining on a small scale like copper in kilembe oil in Bundibujo.
 Price fluctuations on the world market affecting copper mining and cobalt in Kasese.  Limited market causing low production like copper in kilembe  Limited power supply causing low production like copper in kilembe.  Political instabilities scaring labour supply and investors like LRA by Kony hindering mining in karamoja, ADF rebels hindering oil in Bundibujo.
 Rugged and steep slopes affecting exploitation like copper in kilembe oil in Bundibujo, tin in kabala.
 Harsh climatic conditions affecting labour productivity like heat in karamoja, coldness in
Mt Rwenzori for copper
 Accidents in the mines destroying people and property like gold mining in Bushenyi.  Limited research on mineral exploitation like oil in Bundibujo, gold in karamoja.  Poor transport affecting marketing and the movement of workers like gold in karamoja, copper in kilembe.
 Competition on the world market because of other countries and substitutes like copper and cobalt and with other sector like agriculture.
 Competition and embezzlement like katwe salt project.  Profit repatriation by foreign investors causing capital out flow like Heritage gas for oil in
Bundibujo, Hima and Tororo cement companies.
 Restrictions from environmentalists like cobalt in Rwenzori national park and limestone and sand, clay mining in wetlands of Buganda,Ankole
 Hostile tribes scaring investors and workers like the karamajong affecting gold mining and oil exploration.
 Poor government policies like not giving loans gazetting mining areas and beaucracy.  Presence of physical obstacles making expensive like hard rocks for copper in kilembe.

Solutions to the problems of mining ways of development in Uganda;

Economic intergration like the revival of EAC, COMESA,PTA. This will help in joint investment, bargaining power and reduce on unfair competition e.g. phosphates in Tororo by PTA, EAC.



Anti smuggling. This is being monitored by Uganda revenue authority. It increases on taxation and environmental protection, protectionism. Economic diversification. Developing other economic activities to reduce on problems of economic dependence like price fractuations, unemployment, BOP, T.O.T. it supplements other activities like tourism, agriculture, and fishing.



Political stability through regional cooperation like EAC, OAU, internal defense, good governance (constitution). This help in attracting local and foreign investors and limit expenditure on defense, develop infrastructure. Development of transport by constructing railway lines and using water transport because minerals are bulk and heavy they need cheap means of transport like port bell connecting to dar-es-salam,kasese railway line. Attracting foreign investors by giving them subsides. This will lead to capital in flow skilled labour as being done by Uganda investment authority, ministry of finance for example cormens, cobalt, Kasese, Belgians oil L Albert, south Africa, gold Karamoja. Market research through advertisement on radios, news papers, magazines, trade shows (local and foreign international relations, economic integration, presidents office, economic monitoring.



Ropession of goods to former owners this has helped in attracting investors, good management and increase in industrial production. Power supply through dam extension like kiira dam and nalubale dam to reduce load shading, developing other potentials like Bujagali falls, kabalega falls, kamudini kitagate, maziba.



Developing industries. Industries help in processing minerals for easy exploitation, exportation and minerals are used as raw materials in industries adding on market. Getting loans from development agencies to solve the problem of capital because development agencies give long term loans, charge small interest. The capital is used in purchasing equipment developing infrastructure paying labour like ADB, EADB. Promotion of research in mineral exploration, the quantity, quality depth uses location. This will help in exploitation marketing like gold in karamoja, oil near L Albert. Rehabilitation of mining areas by developing social services like roads, pipeline, power supply drainage for cobalt mining in Kasese by Germans



Privatization and liberalization of the mining operations. They help in attracting local and foreign investors with better management leading to increase in production for example, Tororo cement and Hima cement. Formation of agencies to help traders, industrialists, exporters, importers, investors like UIA, URA, UCCI, and UMA. They help in monitoring, mediating with government. They supplement government efforts. Giving initial capitalization fund (entadikwa) to small scale miners, traders because they

don’t have security for loans for commercial banks and development agencies. They also

use micro finance projects like pride Africa. These are being monitored by ministry of finance.



Coordination of government programmes, policies. This will help in resource exploitation for development purposes and environmental protection. Training skilled labour by developing science and technology like MUST,UPK. They will provide skilled labour like engineers, technicians, surveyors. Getting areas with mineral, resources to reduce on excessive exploitation like sand and clay in wetlands. Protection of the infant industries to reduce on unfair competition like importation of some commodities for example cement from Kenya, bambuli Portland, Dar-es-salam.

.....

Define types Give the types and areas Transport routes in Uganda Sketch map for transport routes Problems

(b) Solutions, steps, measures and policies

Transport is the movement of passengers, goods and services from one place to another facilitating the process of production. The types of transport include by road, air and water, railway.

Status / situation

 Transport is still under developed  Big improvement in communication, water routes in Uganda  Lake Victoria ship services from port bell to Kisumu, Mwanza, Jinja, Kalangala ferry services from Bukakata and Entebbe to Kalangala.
 Lake Kyoga ferry services from Lwampanga to Serere, Matadi, Masindi  Lake George and Edward using boats through Kazinga channel to Katwe,Rwenstama  Lake Albert ferry and boats between Butiaba, Wanseko, Kamuli to DRC and Arua.  River Nile boats and ferry to Masindi, Pakwach,Ninvule, Kasenyi, Mahagi

Railway lines

A sketch map of Uganda showing transport routes Problems facing the development of transport in Uganda

 Lack of capital for construction, maintenance and rehabilitation. This is because Uganda is an LDC with limited GNP and GDP.
 Poor science and technology in the construction and maintenance due to education system emphasizing arts more than sciences.
 Political instabilities. Since independence Uganda has been having political instabilities.
They have destroyed transport routes, insecurity in some areas limits transport development. It increases expenditure on defence at the expense of social services like transport, like northern Uganda, Kasese.
 Negligence of roads by local communities and negative attitudes to work leading to destruction of transport routes beyond repair.
 Corruption and embezzlement of public funds for developing infrastructure and social services like transport sector.
 Poor supervision leading to poor quality roads which are expensive to maintain. This is because of distance and poor morale among the workers.
 Collapse of east Africa community in 1977 affected transport connections in East Africa like air services, railway, telecommunications which were jointly done.
 Nature of settlement patterns, sparse settlement make it expensive and dense population lead to traffic jam like in urban areas like Kampala.
 Water transport is affected by crocks, water falls, floating vegetation, gorges, and sand banks. All these hinder the development of water transport for example R Nile with water falls and rapids, R Katonga with floating papyrus vegetation L Victoria with floating water by cinth.
 Physical features making barrier to transport, relief like mountains, highland escarpment, vegetation like forested areas, papyrus, swamps, poorly drained areas like lake shores of L Kyoga, low lands leading to many bridges making it expensive.

    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2010/11 - 2014/15) VISION: A TRANSFORMED UGANDAN SOCIETY FROM A PEASANT TO A MODERN AND PROSPEROUS COUNTRY WITHIN 30 YEARS THEME: GROWTH, EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION FOR PROSPERITY April 2010 FOREWORD The Ugandan economy experienced varying growth rates when the Poverty Eradication Action Plan was being implemented, with an average GDP growth rate of 7.2 per cent between 1997/98 and 2000/01, to 6.8 per cent between 2000/01 and 2003/04, increasing to 8 per cent over the period 2004/05 to 2007/08. Based on economic forecasts, GDP growth rate over the National Development Plan (NDP) period is projected at an average of 7.2 per cent per annum. At this GDP growth rate, nominal per capita income is projected to increase from USD 506 in 2008/09 to about USD 850 by 2014/15. During the same period, the proportion of people living below the poverty line is expected to decline from the level of 31 per cent in 2005/06 to about 24.5 per cent in 2014/2015, above the MDG target of 28 per cent. The NDP also addresses structural bottlenecks in the economy in order to accelerate socioeconomic transformation for prosperity. The NDP interventions aim at creating employment, raising average per capita income levels, improving the labour force distribution in line with sectoral GDP shares, raising country human development and gender equality indicators, and improving the country’s competitiveness to levels associated with middle income countries. This requires the sustained orientation of Government expenditures and implementation capacity towards removal of the most binding constraints to the faster socio-economic transformation.
