Time and Traffic Survey Report – Mirama/Kagitumba Border and Ntungamo Junction – Mbarara – Kabale Road TIME AND TRAFFIC SURVEY REPORT – MIRAMA/KAGITUMBA BORDER AND NTUNGAMO JUNCTION – MBARARA – KABALE ROAD [FINAL REPORT] Consultant: Lillian Muhebwa P. O. Box 27808 Kampala EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the findings from the time and traffic survey undertaken in May 2012 at the Mirama-Kagitumba border crossing as well as results of the traffic and route preference survey at the Ntungamo junction on Mbarara-Kabale road. Mirama-Kagitumba border is one of the two main transit points connecting Uganda and Rwanda with the border towns located in southwestern Uganda and Nyagatare district, Eastern Province of Rwanda respectively. The study sought to establish the queuing time and time taken to clear commercial trucks at the border crossing, baseline traffic volume statistics, preferred routes travelled by traffic at the border as well as the anticipated increase in traffic due to upgrading of the Ntungamo-Mirama road. The Mirama-Kagitumba border crossing had a total traffic of 408 vehicles during the survey week, most of which was from the Kagitumba side. Traffic at this border is mainly day time traffic corresponding to the operational hours of the customs offices. Total traffic inward from Mirama was 115 vehicles predominantly of the commercial traffic category. Inward traffic at Kagitumba was recorded as 193 vehicles with passenger vehicles making up 67% of this traffic. Preferred travel routes are intercity, that is connecting Kampala and Kigali which are the main commercial hubs for the two countries Relatively short queue times (three to thirty seven minutes) were experienced for traffic arriving during border operation hours given the low daily commercial vehicle traffic averaging about ten vehicles on either side. Queues are generally shorter on the Kagitumba side, hardly exceeding 15 minutes. However, the low traffic volumes do not present any urgency on transporters to start the clearing process; otherwise these queue times would be lower. The average customs processing time for trucks from Mirama entering into Rwanda was three hours fifty one minutes and that from Kagitumba, one hour thirty two minutes. The longer processing times for traffic from Mirama can be attributed to more import traffic into Rwanda as compared to Uganda in addition to non-readiness of transporters to clear with customs. The Ntungamo-Kabale junction on Mbarara-Kabale road receives significant day time traffic volumes with 5271 vehicles recorded during the survey week. This is equivalent to 753 vehicles per day out of which 34% is commercial traffic - as defined for this survey. The Origin-destination survey indicated that 40% of this traffic (439 vehicles) passes the Katuna border with Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) above 8T contributing 41% of this traffic, 32% trailer trucks, 14% fuel tankers and light trucks and coaches contribute 8% and 5% respectively. Results of the route preference surveys for traffic bound for Katuna indicated that at least 24% of this traffic would be diverted to the Mirama route if upgraded. This corresponds to almost three times the current commercial traffic volume handled at the border requiring improved infrastructure and high efficiency levels of border operations in order to contribute to the realization of benefits from improved trade competitiveness in the East Africa region. 1 | P a g e Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................................. 1 ACRONYMS AND KEY DEFINITIONS .......................................................................................................... 3 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................... 4 1.1 ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVES ........................................................................................................ 4 2 COMPONENT 1: TIME SURVEY ......................................................................................................... 7 2.1 OBJECTIVE ................................................................................................................................ 7 2.2 METHODOLOGY ....................................................................................................................... 7 2.3 SURVEY RESULTS ...................................................................................................................... 9 2.3.1 Time survey at Mirama Hills.............................................................................................. 9 2.3.2 Time survey at Kagitumba .............................................................................................. 12 3 COMPONENT 2: TRAFFIC SURVEY................................................................................................... 15 3.1 OBJECTIVES ............................................................................................................................ 16 3.2 METHODOLOGY ..................................................................................................................... 16 3.3 SURVEY RESULTS .................................................................................................................... 16 3.3.1 Mirama Hills Traffic ........................................................................................................ 16 3.3.2 Kagitumba Traffic ........................................................................................................... 20 3.3.3 Conclusion ...................................................................................................................... 23 4 COMPONENT 3: TRAFFIC SURVEY AT NTUNGAMO JUNCTION ........................................................ 25 4.1 OBJECTIVES ............................................................................................................................ 25 4.2 METHODOLOGY ..................................................................................................................... 25 4.3 SURVEY RESULTS .................................................................................................................... 25 4.3.1 Traffic analysis ................................................................................................................ 25 4.3.2 Conclusion ...................................................................................................................... 33 Annex I: Data collection forms ............................................................................................................... 34 Annex II: Traffic Volume – Mirama Hills .................................................................................................. 36 Annex II: Traffic Volume – Mirama Hills .................................................................................................. 36 Annex III: Traffic Volume – Kagitumba .................................................................................................... 37 Annex IV: record of vehicles at day start – Mirama/Kagitumba ............................................................... 38 Annex V: Commercial Traffic Origin-Destination – Ntungamo junction ................................................... 39 2 | P a g e ACRONYMS AND KEY DEFINITIONS CCA – Customs clearing Area HGV – Heavy Goods vehicle OSBP – One stop Border Posts RRA - Rwanda Revenue Authority TMEA – Trade Mark East Africa TOR – Terms of Reference URA – Uganda Revenue Authority 3 | P a g e 1 INTRODUCTION This report presents the findings of the traffic survey conducted at the Mirama/Kagitumba border crossing between Uganda and Rwanda, in their respective districts of Ntungamo and Nyagatare. The study was commissioned by Trade Mark East Africa (TMEA) as part of planning, and monitoring and evaluation of its projects in particular the one-stop border post (OSBP) project aimed at reducing transport and related costs along the key transport corridors in East Africa. 1.1 ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVES This study was aimed at obtaining baseline traffic statistics and in accordance with the assignment TOR comprised three key components as described hereafter. Components 1 and 2 relate to the time and traffic study at the Mirama Hills/Kagitumba border and component three relates to the traffic study at Ntungamo. The study components are detailed below: a) Component 1: Traffic Queuing and Clearance Time Study This involved carrying out a traffic study to find out the queuing time and time taken to clear commercial trucks at the border crossing. b) Component 2: Traffic Volume Study at Mirama Hills/Kagitumba border This involved carrying out a traffic study to determine the number of vehicles passing through the border post and Origin and Destination Studies to determine the amount of travel existing between various locations and determine the routes along which traffic prefers to travel. The traffic study would then be used to estimate the ultimate volume at the end of the design period [of 20 years] c) Study 3: Traffic Volume Study at Ntungamo Junction on the Mbarara-Kabale Road This involved carrying out the traffic study to determine the current traffic flow from Uganda at the Ntungamo junction towards the Katuna border, as well as the anticipated increase in traffic due to upgrading works on the Ntungamo-Mirama road. In addition an Origin and Destination study to determine the amount of traffic destined for the Katuna border was undertaken. This was anticipated

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni President of the Republic of Uganda At The Annual Budget Conference - Financial Year 2016/17 For Ministers, Ministers of State, Head of Public Agencies and Representatives of Local Governments November11, 2015 - UICC Serena 1 H.E. Vice President Edward Ssekandi, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, I was informed that there is a Budgeting Conference going on in Kampala. My campaign schedule does not permit me to attend that conference. I will, instead, put my views on paper regarding the next cycle of budgeting. As you know, I always emphasize prioritization in budgeting. Since 2006, when the Statistics House Conference by the Cabinet and the NRM Caucus agreed on prioritization, you have seen the impact. Using the Uganda Government money, since 2006, we have either partially or wholly funded the reconstruction, rehabilitation of the following roads: Matugga-Semuto-Kapeeka (41kms); Gayaza-Zirobwe (30km); Kabale-Kisoro-Bunagana/Kyanika (101 km); Fort Portal- Bundibugyo-Lamia (103km); Busega-Mityana (57km); Kampala –Kalerwe (1.5km); Kalerwe-Gayaza (13km); Bugiri- Malaba/Busia (82km); Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara (416km); Mbarara-Ntungamo-Katuna (124km); Gulu-Atiak (74km); Hoima-Kaiso-Tonya (92km); Jinja-Mukono (52km); Jinja- Kamuli (58km); Kawempe-Kafu (166km); Mbarara-Kikagati- Murongo Bridge (74km); Nyakahita-Kazo-Ibanda-Kamwenge (143km); Tororo-Mbale-Soroti (152km); Vurra-Arua-Koboko- Oraba (92km). 2 We are also, either planning or are in the process of constructing, re-constructing or rehabilitating

  • The Informal Cross Border Trade Qualitative Baseline Study 2008 Uganda Bureau of Statistics
    UGANDA BUREAU OF STATISTICS THE INFORMAL CROSS BORDER TRADE QUALIT ATIVE BASELINE STUDY 2008 February 2009 FOREWORD The Qualitative Module of the Informal Cross Border Trade (ICBT) Survey is the first comprehensive Study of its kind to be conducted in Uganda to bridge information gaps regarding informal trade environment. The study was carried out at Busia, Mirama Hills, Mpondwe and Mutukula border posts. The ICBT Qualitative study collected information on informal trade environment and the constraints traders’ experience in order to guide policy formulation, planning and decision making in the informal cross border sub-sector. The study focused specifically on gender roles in ICBT, access to financial services, marketing information, food security, and tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade among others. This study was conducted alongside the ICBT Quantitative Module that collected information on the nature of products transacted, their volumes and value, and, the direction of trade. Notwithstanding the significant contribution informal cross border trade has made to the welfare of the people of the East African region (in terms of employment creation, economic empowerment of women, food security, regional and social integration), there are no appropriate policies designed to guide players in the informal trade sector. The information gathered, therefore, will provide an insight into the challenges informal traders face in their day to day business and will guide policy and decision makers to enact appropriate policies to harness the potential benefits of informal cross border trade. The Bureau is grateful to the Integrated Framework (IF) through TRACE Project of the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry for the financial contribution that facilitated the study.

  • Case Study of Rufuuha Wetland, Ntungamo District
    Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2018 ASSESSING THE PERCEPTION OF FRINGE COMMUNITIES ON WETLAND MANAGEMENT IN UGANDA: CASE STUDY OF RUFUUHA WETLAND, NTUNGAMO DISTRICT Dinnah Tumwebaze Ntungamo District Local Government P.O Box 01 Ntungamo [email protected] Supervisor Victor Pajuelo Madrigal SVARMI [email protected] ABSTRACT To ensure the health and wellbeing of the human population, wetlands should be managed sustainably to continue the services they provide and the justifiable exploitation of the earth’s resources. Cautious action needs to be directed towards the maintenance of the significant support systems of the ecosystem services on the globe, such as wetlands. This study aimed to assess the perception of fringe communities on the management of the Rufuuha wetland, Ntungamo District in south-western Uganda. The methodologies used in this study included simple random sampling. Results indicated that the state of Rufuuha wetland has been notably influenced by a lack of awareness of the wetland laws and regulations and a high local illiteracy level on sustainable wetland management. There is a need for sensitization of the community and an encouraging bottom-up approach in formulation and implementation of wetland laws. Key words: Perception, fringe community, wetland management, Ntungamo District.
