Hires out material handling equipment. For details, please visit Richflo Lift services Ltd Electricity and Power The enactment of the Electricity Act 1999 removed the monopoly in power generation, transmission and distribution from Uganda Electricity Board, 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.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) The deregulation and liberalization of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector in 1997 ushered in reductions in mobile telephone tariffs and bandwidth prices, as well as greater availability of fiber optics bandwidth, increased ICT literacy, and supportive government-led ICT policies. As a result of these initiatives, the number of internet users now stands at over 4.6 million. However, with a population of 36 million people, internet penetration and accessibility is still low, hampered primarily by high costs and poor infrastructure. A number of companies now offer these services at a fee and one is only restricted mainly by economic and infrastructural constraints, especially the rural poor and distant upcountry locations. Most organisations contract internet service provision through the private telecommunication companies while others have their own service. Internet Service Providers Are there ISPs available?

  • 3.3 Current Situation and Key Issues of the Public Transport Sector in Gkma
    Final Report The Study on Greater Kampala Road Network and Transport Improvement in the Republic of Uganda November 2010 3.3 CURRENT SITUATION AND KEY ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTOR IN GKMA 3.3.1 OVERVIEW OF THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT The privately owned Uganda Transport Company (UTC) held the exclusive franchise for bus services in Kampala until its nationalization in 1972. At that time, its only competition came from shared taxis which are saloon or estate cars. Following its nationalization, UTC contracted and focused more closely on its long-distance services. As a result, the market for urban transport services in Kampala became open to private sector operators using small minibus vehicles. In 1994 a commercial vehicle distributor established City Link as a private-sector large bus operation with some 40 vehicles in service. However, UTODA was able to organize an effective competition to this initiative. City Link meanwhile did not succeed by operating similar to that of minibus services based on fill-and-run principle, rather than operating based on scheduled services. Thus, the company shortly collapsed. Feedback from these results indicates that although City Link was popular, its operations were too thinly spread over the network and were not able to provide a reliable service. Public transport passengers within Kampala have very limited choice such as minibus services or motorcycle services with the majority as minibus services locally called taxis. 3.3.2 TAXI/MINIBUS Main supply of public transport in Kampala is now by minibuses, which are known locally as taxi (photographs bellow). KCC estimated that in 2003, there were nearly 7,000 minibuses based in the GKMA.

  • Rubaga Municipality
    FOREWORD This Slum Settlement Profile comes at an opportune time – a time when the city of Kampala is experiencing unprecedented growth in the history of Uganda. This growth and expansion is visible through the mushrooming of informal settlements across the different divisions of Kampala, especially in the low-lying areas of the city. This expansion has definitely exerted enormous pressure on land, with the poor occupying open spaces and the rich pushing the poor out of settlements for commercial and more formalised developments. The urban infrastructure (services and utilities) has not been spared as many residents demand for better quality water, sewer/ sanitation facilities, electricity, roads, security, and proper solid waste management systems. While the city still grapples with serving the existing communities, there are thousands that are flocking to the city in search of employment opportunities and better services. The invisible challenge for both the city and the communities has been lack of data/ information concerning the informal settlements, leading to a very wide gap between the plans and the priorities for the slum residents. The variables looked at in this Slum Profile include, among other factors, Security of Tenure, Housing, Water and Sanitation, Economic Activities, Accessibility, Drainage, and Solid Waste Management. Perhaps, the most outstanding and profound aspect is that this Slum Profile is not a collection of information from lawyers, teachers, doctors, or academicians, but rather ideas from the real slum dwellers who interface with the day-to- day challenges of slum life.
