1.13 Cultural habits: Strong family oriented culture. Education has brought conflicts but only in urban areas. 1.14 Political History: Uganda was created as a modern nation state during the British colonial administration between 1890 and 1919. In 1894 Uganda was declared a British Protectorate. In colonial terminology, Uganda fell in the category of Protectorate as opposed to colony. The geographical face of current day Uganda was brought together by British Colonial Administration. The nucleus of the colony was the kingdom of Buganda which covered a big part of present day central and southern Uganda. On 9th of October 1962 Uganda gained formal independence. The first quarter century of the post–independence period was generally characterised by violence and instability. In January 25, 1986 the National Resistance Movement headed by came into power and he became the . He is currently serving his 2nd term ending in year 2006.

1.16 Economic History

Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, and sizable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt. 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. During 1990-2001, the economy turned in a solid performance based on continued investment in the rehabilitation of infrastructure, improved incentives for production and exports, reduced inflation, gradually improved domestic security, and the return of exiled Indian-Ugandan entrepreneurs. Ongoing Ugandan involvement in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, corruption within the government, and slippage in the government's determination to press reforms raise doubts about the continuation of strong growth. 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. Growth for 2001-02 was solid despite continued decline in the price of coffee, Uganda's principal export.

1.20 Military, Civil Defence and Logistics Section (MCDLS)

As a signatory to Guidelines on The Use of Military and Civil Defence Assets to Support United Nations Humanitarian Activities in Complex Emergencies WFP adheres to the principle of using the MCDA as the last resort.

Military APCs called Mambas and Buffalo are currently deployed by Govt. of Uganda on escort duty for Relief food convoys in Gulu, Kitgum, Pader, Lira districts. 2 APCs and approx. 70-90 soldiers escort each convoy from EDPs to Relief food distribution camps and back.

MCDA can be mobilized and deployed either as decision by Emergency Relief Coordinator through Humanitarian Coordinator for international effort or bilaterally. For Africa region Defence Ministry of Kenya is register as Military asset provider by UNOCHA. And President of Kenya is sole releasing authority for such assets. Detailed information and contact numbers can be found at Http: www.reliefweb.int/ocha_ol/programs/response/mcdunet/prov293.html General Information on MCDLS: MCDLS has two components:

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 13 of 95

1. Military and Civil Defence Unit (MCDU) established in 1995 by decision of IASC to ensure the most efficient use of military and civil defence assets in support of humanitarian operations. MCDU serves as the UN focal point for governments, international organizations and military and civil defence establishments for the employment of these assets in humanitarian situations and coordinates their mobilization when needed. Military and Civil Defence Assets (MCDA): The Guidelines on Use of Military and Civil Defence Assets To Support United Nations Humanitarian Activities in Complex Emergencies, 2003 give explicit explanations on where and how’s involved. UNOCHA through MCDU maintains Central Register of Disaster management capacities: This Central Register includes 3 Directories of Contact persons and 5 directories of specific disaster management assets:

In cooperation with the World Food Programme, the manager of the UNHRD, LSU arranges for the dispatch of relief items to emergency or disaster-affected areas.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 14 of 95

1.21 Potential Calamities 1.21.1 Man-made LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) insurgency in Northern and Central is the single most potent reason of worst humanitarian crisis in years. The protracted insurgency of LRA has resulted in current displacement of 1,619,807 people increased from 542,000 in 2002. Over half of the displaced population are children.

Since June 2002, the rebel activities in northern Uganda (Gulu, Kitgum and Pader districts) intensified and expanded to Lira, Soroti, Katakwi and Kaberamaido districts. The LRA rebels continue to attack IDP camps, ambush vehicles, abduct children, kill people and torch huts. In the eighteen months from June 2002 to December 2003, over 10,000 children were abducted. February 2004 witnessed one of the worst attacks in Barlonyo IDP camp in Lira district with over 300 people massacred by the LRA rebels in a single attack. Major humanitarian corridors outside of Gulu, Kitgum and Pader towns remain extremely insecure and inaccessible without military escort.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 15 of 95

The fear of being abducted or killed by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels severely limits access to agricultural fields of IDPs throughout northern Uganda. Food production activities are limited to the periphery of camps and income earning opportunities are limited or virtually non-existent. Road to normalcy is long and bumpy.

The LRA incursion into the Teso sub-region in June 2003 crippled all productive activities in the region and resulted in displacement of a further 340,505 people. The raids by neighbouring Karamjong warriors in Katakwi District worsened the problem of displacement with population movement from smaller camps to larger camps in search of a safe haven.

As of April 2004, a total of 1,619,807 people are displaced in northern and eastern Uganda, as detailed below:

IDP POPULATION PER DISTRICT IDP Camp locations Affected population Gulu District 438,639 Kitgum District 279,589 Pader District 273,968 Lira Municipality 81,857 Lira rural camps 212,139 Soroti District 88,000 Katakwi District 144,945 Kaberamaido District 107,560 Total 1,619,807

1.21.2 War and civil unrest in Southern Sudan

Uganda hosts a large number of Sudanese refugees mainly in West Nile (Arua, Moyo and Adjumani) districts. 210,660 (UNOCHA Mar. 2004 fig.) refugees in 66 settlements in eight districts are in need of limited quantities of food assistance.

Limited agricultural land for refugees has left them with few options to access food and income during the lean period. Seasonal flooding of the Nile basin and water logging of soils along with occasional prolonged dry spells are factors regularly affecting food security for the refugees. Currently, only 65 percent of the refugees in West Nile receive food rations from WFP.

1.22 Natural

1.22.1 Drought and erratic rainfall

Districts of Moroto and Kotido in Karamoja region, located in the North Eastern Uganda are drought prone. This area borders both Kenya to the East and Sudan to the North. The climatic conditions of the region are arid to semi- arid with an average rainfall of between 400 mm to 1000 mm. Both Moroto and Kotido include mixtures of agricultural, agro- pastoral, and pastoral communities. This region has a chronic drought and civil insecurity concerns. As a result, the Karamoja region has received humanitarian assistance for more than 20 years from various actors.

Furthermore, districts of Arua, Adjumani & Moyo districts in Northern Uganda experiences periodic crop failure due to drought-like conditions.

1.22.2 Seasonal flooding, water logging and pest outbreaks: - Although Uganda is endowed with fair rainfall compared to the neighbouring countries, droughts and floods coommon climatic extremes experienced in Uganda. In Uganda occurrence of droughts, are common in Karamoja, and Eastern regions followed by the cattle corridors. Impacts of drought are slow evolving but when its effects have started biting, the impact on community livelihoods is really very costly.

1.22.3 Long Term:

The LRA insurgency problem and subsequent civil insecurity will need political will and courage to accept existence of problem and sustained international

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 17 of 95

focussed intervention. Agreement between Sudan and SPLA has given a ray of hope but nothing concrete is visible till now.

Govt. of Uganda has initiated program of returning the IDPs to villages in Soroti, Kaberamaido and Katakwi districts.

Natural Disaster prone areas of Uganda

Other than politics, intensive agriculture and industry are at nascent stage. Due to liberal import policy, high interest rates and small consumer economy, manufacturing industry is small and not cost efficient. Job creation is slow. Quality of skilled labour is poor; being land locked country import of raw industrial material and export is expensive. Though Uganda has an extensive road network but due to bad security and poor maintenance, full benefit cannot be drawn. Power is in short supply.

In the long-term man made calamities will affect Uganda.

1.23 Types of food consumed In Uganda banana, millet, sorghum, beans, groundnuts, sweet potatoes, cassava, rice, and maize are eaten. White maize is a preferred variety.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 18 of 95

Bananas, popularly known as “Matooke”, are predominant. In addition consumption of Millet, beans and sweet potatoes is widespread. Millet, popularly known as “Kalo”, is taking over from matooke as the most popular cereal. Fresh leaf vegetables are also consumed.

In Western region milk and milk products form major portion of diet. Fishing is an important economic activity in Uganda. It contributes significantly to the nutritional value of food. Animal husbandry forms a significant proportion of Uganda’s economic activity adding meat, poultry and milk products to food.

1.24 Food Stocks

GOU does not have centralised food stocking system. Food commodity trade is privatised and in the hands of Farmer’s cooperatives and traders. These cooperatives do not have any formal association and central data collection system. No exact figure was available.

2. AREA OVERVIEW:

2.1 Geography

2.1.1 Rivers and Lakes

Uganda is a well-watered country. Nearly one-fifth of the total area, or 44,000 square kilometers, is open water or swampland. Four of 's Great Lakes--Lake Victoria,

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 19 of 95

Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert, and --lie within Uganda or on its borders. Lake Victoria dominates the southeastern corner of the nation, with almost one-half of its 10,200-square- kilometer area lying inside Ugandan territory. It is the second largest inland freshwater lake in the world (after Lake Superior), and it feeds the upper waters of the Nile River, which is referred to in this region as the Victoria Nile.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 20 of 95

Lake Kyoga and the surrounding basin dominate central Uganda. Extensions of Lake Kyoga include , Lake Bugondo, and . These "finger lakes" are surrounded by swampland during rainy seasons. All lakes in the Lake Kyoga Basin are shallow, usually reaching a depth of only eight or nine meters, and Lake Opeta forms a separate lake during dry seasons. Along the border with Zaire, Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and occupy troughs in the western Rift Valley.

Leaving Lake Victoria at Owen Falls, the Victoria Nile descends as it travels toward the northwest. Widening to form Lake Kyoga, the Nile receives the Kafu River from the west before flowing north to Lake Albert. From Lake Albert, the Nile is known as the Albert Nile as it travels roughly 200 kilometres to the Sudan border. In southern and western Uganda, geological activity over several centuries has shifted drainage patterns. The land west of Lake Victoria is traversed by valleys that were once rivers carrying the waters of Lake Victoria into

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 21 of 95

the Congo River system. The flows westward from Lake Victoria to Lake George. Lake George and Lake Edward are connected by the Kizinga Channel. The flows into Lake Edward from the north, where it drains parts of Zaire and forms a portion of the Uganda-Zaire border.

One of the tributaries of the Albert Nile, the Zoka River, drains the north-western corner of Uganda, a region still popularly known as the West Nile although that name was not officially recognized in 1989. Other major rivers include the (called the Aswa in Sudan) in the north, the Pager River and the Dopeth-Okok River in the northeast, and the Mpologoma River, which drains into Lake Kyoga from the southeast.

2.1.2 Mountain ranges

Southern Uganda lies at an altitude of 1,134 meters above sea level. The plateau that stretches northward from Lake Victoria declines gradually to an altitude of 914 meters on the Sudan border. A shallow basin dipping toward the centre of the country and small areas of tropical forest, which mark the western border with Zaire, interrupts the gradually sloping terrain.

Mountains mark both eastern and western borders. The Ruwenzori Mountains (often called the Mountains of the Moon) form about eighty kilometers of the border between Uganda and Zaire. The highest peaks of Mount Stanley, in the Ruwenzoris, are snowcapped. Foremost among these are Margherita (5,113 meters) and Alexandra (5,094 meters). Farther south, the northernmost of the Mufumbiro volcanoes reach 4,132 meters on Mount Mahavura; 3,648 meters on Mount Mgahinga; and 3,477 meters on Mount Sabinio, which marks the border with Rwanda and Zaire.

In eastern Uganda, the border with Kenya is also marked by volcanic hills. Dominating these, roughly 120 kilometers north of the equator is Mount Elgon, which rises from the 1,200-meter plains to reach a height of 4,324 meters. Mount Elgon is the cone of an extinct volcano, with ridges radiating thirty kilometers from its crater. Rich soil from its slopes is eroded into the plains below. North of Mount Elgon are Kadam (also known as Debasien or Tabasiat) Peak, which reaches a height of 3,054 meters, and Mount Moroto, at 3,085 meters. In the far northeast, Mount Zulia, Mount Morungole, and the Labwor and Dodoth Hills reach heights in excess of 2,000 meters. The lower Imatong Mountains and Mount Langia, at 3,029 meters, mark the border with Sudan.

2.1.3 Vegetation and Agricultural activities Uganda is predominantly an agricultural nation. Agriculture and fisheries contributes to 55% of GDP and employs nearly 80% of the total labour force in smallholder subsistence farming. Over 90% of export revenue is obtained from agriculture and agro-related exports. Coffee, tea, tobacco and cotton are major export crops. Currently Maize, beans and sesame are in surplus and available for export to neighbouring countries.

Ugandan cotton is long staple and has good market in Europe and China. Introduction of organic vegetable farming, processing of Muranga leaves and seeds, shianut have added variety to traditional farming.

2.2 Climate and Seasons

Mean annual temperatures range from about 16° C in the south-western highlands to 25° C in the northwest; but in the northeast, temperatures exceed 30° C about 254 days per year. Daytime temperatures average about eight to ten degrees warmer than night time temperatures in the Lake Victoria region, and temperatures are generally about fourteen degrees lower in the southwest.

Except in the north-eastern corner of the country, rainfall is well distributed. The southern region has two rainy seasons, usually beginning in early April and again in October. Little rain falls in June and December. In the north, occasional rains occur between April and October, while the period from November to March is often very dry.

Mean annual rainfall near Lake Victoria often exceeds 2,100 millimetres, and the mountainous regions of the southeast and southwest receive more than 1,500 millimetres of rainfall yearly. The lowest mean annual rainfall in the northeast measures about 500 millimetres.

2.3 Disaster (flood/drought) prone areas Drought disaster prone areas in Uganda include Karamoja , Muvendi, Kavarole and some parts of Mbarara region. West Nile districts of Moyo, Adjumani, and Arua get erratic rainfall, seasonal flooding of the Nile River and occasional pest outbreak. Map showing Natural disaster prone areas in attached as Annex. 2.4 Borders Uganda is bordered with Kenya (933Km) in the east, Tanzania (396 Km) in the south, Rwanda (169 Km) in the Southwest, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (765 Km) in the west and the Sudan (435 Km) in the north. The total land boundary (perimeter) is 2698 km (see Map 1). 2.5 Seasonal effects on Transport Road is the most dominant mode of transport in Uganda. 70% of roads are murrum roads. Roads in Lira, Gulu, Kitgum and Pader have large patches of black cotton soil. In raining season due to poor drainage roads become difficult to transverse with heavier loads.

3.2 River Port Assessment

3.2.1 Description: Inland water transport system in Uganda is divided as a) Lake Victoria transport. b) Transport on the remaining five lakes and six rivers. Lake Albert provides truck ferries to DRC.

3.2.2 Transport corridors Lake Victoria Transport: Uganda has no river port but has two inland ports on Lake Victoria. 1. Jinja pier 2. The Ugandan Railways operates marine services connecting these two ports of Port Bell and Jinja to in Kenya, and to 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. • Domestic lake transport, like river transport, is now mainly a small-scale private sector activity with minimal fixed infrastructure support

3.2.3 Load and discharge operations Since the transport system is Rail/water integrated through wagon ferry system, no loading/unloading is necessary.

3.2.4 Container-handling facilities/port equipment There is no handling of cargo due to nature of integrated system.

3.7 Regional Airfields Details for Kenya, Sudan, DRC, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania airports are attached in Annex.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 36 of 95

3.8 Road Transport Assessment 3.8.1 General Conditions Road is the most dominant mode of transport in Uganda. The road transport system comprises of approx. 10,000 km of classified main roads (truck, secondary and tertiary), about 25,000 km of district (feeder) roads, 2,800 urban and 30,000 access roads.

Category Kms Classified Main Roads. Trunk, Secondary and Tertiary 10,000 District feeder roads 25,000 Urban Roads 2,800 Community access roads 30,000

The National (trunk) Road Network carries 80% of Uganda’s traffic. National roads include international routes linking Uganda to neighbouring countries and to the sea (through Kenya and Tanzania). About 2,200 Km out of a total of 10,000 Km of National Roads are bituminized and the rest are gravel (murram).

3.8.2 District Road Analysis:

Gulu: Gulu is connected to Lira and Kampala through asphalt road. Rest all is murrum. It has good network of trunk, Main and feeder roads. Road to and Bibiya goes further to Nemule in Sudan. Gulu road after Alele to Alero and alternate approach through Ongako Koch Goma is at present closed due to broken bridge near Alele and big potholes. Accessibility to that region is only through . On Gulu – Awere section, certain patches of road between Opit and Awere are bad and trucks usually get stuck during rains.

Detailed map of district roads is attached in the Annex. Fuel: Fuel is available in Gulu town. Caltex, Kobil, Shell fuel stations are there.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 37 of 95

Truck spares: Spares for Benz, Volvo, Tata and Renault trucks are available at same rates as Kampala. All types of tyres and tubes can be made available from Kampala market within 24 hours.

Kitgum and Pader district: In Kitgum Padibe-Potika, Madi-Opei-Agoro, Naam-Okora-Orom sections are trouble spots during rainy season Pader has the whole of North-East and eastern sector as bad road area. Fuel: Caltex has fuel station in Kitgum. WFP warehouse has fuel tank of 18000 ltrs for internal consumption. Truck Spares: Market has started to grow. Traders from Gulu are opening shops.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 38 of 95

Lira: The general road condition is poor. Bad road segment on direct route is 27.93% and on alternate routes is 40.59%. If we take just 2 camps Olilim and Orum from the list, bad road segment jumps to 40% on direct routes. Most of the roads will deteriorate further after food convoy passes during rainy season. Worst segments are: 1. Agweng to Aromo. 2. Aloi to Omoro. 3. Alik Pot PS to Ocamayong. 4. Abako to Amugo. 5. Lira – Abutoadi. Agwata TC to Iguli PS. 6. Dara Christian school to Obim camp. 7. Orum- Ikwee PS.

Culverts

Generally culverts are good on all sections except between Aloi Omoro, Abako- Amugo, Iguli Ps- Dokolo, and Ogong-Adwari Corner sectors.

Bridges • Between Agak PS & Aromo PS 40 mtrs long bridge. Its narrow, old, weak side railings. Very risky for movement of trailers. • Second small bridge 300 mtrs from Aromo Camp is narrow and approach to it is dangerous for heavy trucks. It has no side rails. • Small bridge 2km before Aloi intersection will need attention during rain. • Narrow bridge between Ogogong PS and Adwari Corner is weak to bear heavy load. • Bridge on Achawa river between Abia and Adwari corner is showing signs of surface damage on both sides due to deep craters on approaches.

Fuel: Fuel is only available in Lira town. All major fuel companies have there presence. Truck repair garages: Lira town has acceptable capacity for truck repairs. Truck Spares: Availability is good.

Major problems are: 1. Poor rain water drainage. 2. Lack of maintenance. 3. Steep drain ditches. 4. Weak culverts 5. Black soil.

Roads in districts of Gulu, Kitgum, Pader and Lira during rainy season become difficult for heavy trucks above 25MT due to bad drainage and black soil. Double diff trucks with heavy tread tires are preferable. Super single tires are not recommended. Currently all WFP food convoys are accompanied by minimum 2 6x6 MAN trucks per convoy of 10 trucks for pulling purposes.

Soroti, Katakwi and Kaberamaido:

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 39 of 95

These districts have extensive road network. Roads are in good condition and suitable for heavy load vehicles. Fuel: Fuel is only available in Soroti town. All major fuel companies have there presence. Truck Spares: Availability is poor.

Ministry of works has initiated road building emergency repair work on major roads through contractors in Gulu and Lira district. Work on Pabo/Olam/Nyung/Odur/Amuru Rhino camp, Amuru/Lolim/KochGoma/Ayago Bridge, Odur/Adjumani, Pakelle/Indriani is finished. Gulu-Minakulu, Pabbo/atiak/ road, Gulu-Pabo, Gulu-Awere roads, Adwari Corner to Olilim in Lira district is in progress. Ministry of works has adequate road maintenance equipment like graders, rollers and earth moving equipment in Gulu, Kitgum and Lira bases but lack funds. The equipment can be hired for minor repairs by providing fuel and per-diem charges to local offices. Local district authorities can be approached for free supply of murrum. Transport and loading unloading has to be paid by WFP.

Local major contractors available for road repairs are as follows: Contact details in Annex. 1. Ministry of Works and Housing and Communication. 2. Sobetra Uganda limited.( Construction & Engineering Co.). Major contractor of MWHC for road building in Ugnada. Well equipped and experienced contractor in Uganda. 3. Zzemwe contractors.(Construction and Engineering Co.) 4. Civicon Ltd. (Transport and construction Co.) 5. Terrian services Ltd. (Material suppliers.)

3.8.3 Local Transport Companies Capacity of local transport companies based in Kampala due to heavy concentration of economic activity is good. Most of the companies own 5-10 trucks and balance private truck owners with 1-2 trucks are attached to them. Such consortiums give individual capacity of 300-500MT. Only a few transport companies like Mansons (U) Ltd, Civicon have large committed fleet.

In Northern Uganda cities of Gulu, Kitgum and Lira no viable transport company was identified. Owners have 1-3 trucks. No garage, lack administrative capacity and financial strength. Efforts to make a consortium also failed. Freight rates are floating with no discipline. Study of local transporters was done in Lira district, only 2 transporters Akilips and Aweki Enterprise had 2 or more trucks. Study found local capacity as small and unreliable, truck conditions very poor, not suitable for frequent trips. Great resistance among transporters to create a consortium. Freight rates very high at Ugsh 1100 per ton/km. ($ 0.58 ton/km). Very high percentage of freight is opportunity cost and profit.

3.10 Geographic indications 3.10.1 The Corridors: Uganda is served by two corridors. • Northern corridor route runs from port mombassa in kenya to kampala. it passes through nairobi and via malaba transit point. the same route further extends via mbarara/kabale/ katuna to kigali and bunagana to goma in drc. • Southern corridor runs from dar es salaam via dodoma to north- western tanzania, with extensions to congo, burundi, rwanda and uganda.

The Northern Corridor has traditionally been Uganda’s principal lifeline which consists both rail and road networks. 3.10.1.1 Road Route The main road route runs from Mombassa via Nairobi (485 Km) , • Nakuru (641 Km) and • Eldoret (797 Km) to cross the Uganda border at • Malaba (919 Km, before continuing via • Tororo (937 Km) and • Jinja (1,068 Km) to • Kampala (1,148 km) An alternative route runs via Kisumu (834 km) to cross the border at Busia (964 Km) before rejoining the main route east of Bugiri to reach Jinja (1,085 km) and Kampala (1,165 Km). All the roads are paved throughout, but long sections in Kenya are in poor condition. The Ugandan sections were generally reconstructed around 1990, and are mostly in good and fair condition, though rehabilitation of some sections in Uganda is now deemed necessary. From Kampala the main onward international road routes to the other countries include the following: - Via Mbarara and Kabale to Kigali, Rwanda (522 Km from Kampala); Via Kigali to Bujumbura, Burundi (755 Km); Via Mbarara , Katunguru and Ishasha to Goma, Congo (617 Km); Via Mbarara, Karunguru and Equator Road to Beni, Congo (530 Km). Via Gulu , Atiak, Bibiya to Nemule for . Via Karuma, , Goli Transit point to DRC.

Southern Corridor runs through Masaka via Mutukula transit point to North Tanzania and joins Bakuba on way to Isaka and Dar Es Salaam Port.

MAJOR CORRIDORS

3.10.1.2 Rail Route: -

The main railway lines of Kenya Railways and Uganda Railways (URC) provide a more or less parallel route from Mombassa via Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, Malaba, Tororo and Jinja to Kampala. Due to the high level of curvature, the rail distance is considerably longer than the road distance at 1,333 Km, including 1,082 Km in Kenya and 251 Km in Uganda.

An alternative and shorter railway route for Uganda traffic runs from Nakuru to Kisumu, and then uses the wagon ferry service across Lake Victoria to Port Bell before returning to rail between Port Bell and Kampala. The length of this route to Kampala is 1,222 km including 284 Km across the lake.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 45 of 95

The other important trade route for Uganda is the Southern Corridor from Dar es Salaam. The traditional rail route ran via Dodoma to Tabora, where it split into one branch westwards to Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika and one branch northwards to Mwanza on Lake Victoria. Uganda traffic continued by wagon ferry from Mwanza to Port Bell on Jinja, while Congo, Burundi and Rwanda

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 46 of 95

traffic continues from Kigoma by barge to Kalemei, Uvira or Bujumbura. The distance from Dar es Salaam to Kampala is 1,561 Km, including 1,239 Km on the lines of Tanzania Railways (TRC) and Uganda Railways (URC) and 322 Km across the lake. a. Available Facilities Northern corridor is the main artery of Uganda. Kenyan part of the corridor has adequate fuel stations, hotel accommodations & food outlets. For minor repair of trucks facilities are available. Due to constant movement of trucks on this corridor necessary infrastructure has evolved with time.

Constant endeavour is being made by Kenyan and Ugandan Customs authorities to streamline custom process in Malaba.

On Uganda side of the corridor facilities up to Kampala and then Mbarara to Kigali are comfortable. Fuel, food, vehicle repair facility are available. On Kampala Gulu Nimule corridor, from Gulu onwards up to South Sudan all facilities are available till Gulu only. After Gulu till Nimule approx. 170km, all basic facilities necessary for transporters are absent. Except road condition on minor transit points, other facilities are available. b. RAILWAY TARRIFS: Freight rates by (URC), Kenyan Railways (KRC) and Tanzanian Railways (TRC) are published jointly by URC in Kampala for Uganda. The rates are divided into • Covered Wagons. • Containers • Fuel • Vegetable Oil URC and KRC have downward revised their freight rates across board. Northern Corridor.

3.11 Rail Transport Assessment 3.11.1 General Railroad Conditions The Uganda Railway Corporation (URC) is the sole proprietor of railway services in the country, and it is government owned. URC inherited all the assets of the East African Railways Corporation (EARC) and located in Uganda. Assets were old tracks, lighter locomotives, old wagons and no workshops for wagon and locomotive repairs. These assets were in poor condition and insufficient for full operation. The Ugandan railway networks totals 1,300 Km of single line meter gauge divided into the following routes

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 48 of 95

• The Northern Line (251Km) from Tororo / Malaba to Kampala; this 251 Km line forms part of the International Northern Corridor between Kampala and Mombassa and provides connections to the Ports of Mombasa in Kenya via Malaba by rail and both rail and marine through PortBell (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 this year and URC plans to extend this route to Gulu. Work is going on this route.

Railway services not found to be economically viable and currently suspended covering the following sections: • The Kampala – Kasese line (333 Km); • Northern Line (341 Km) from Soroti to Packwach. • line-(Jinja-Mbulamuti-Busembatia) 146 kms

URC has improved upon its marketing strategy through: • Movement of block train between Kampala and Nairobi • The use of single consignment note has made it convenient for customers to pay ay a one-stop point. • The installation of Monitoring Rail Tracker Software, (ACK) at URC and Kenya railway system, has enhanced customer satisfaction.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 49 of 95

3.11.2 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 Mombassa 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) URC 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 PortBell/Jinja respectively. The marine vessels are purely cargo. The maximum capacity of each wagon ferry is 880 tonnes i.e. 22 wagons loaded 40Mt each. However these wagon ferries are not enough to handle the present cargo traffic. a. Allocation of cargoes on Lake Victoria: Cargo between Port Bell and Mwanza / Kisumu is moved by vessels from each country. Each of the vessels below is of a similar size: Uganda: Kabalega, Kaawa, Pamba Kenya: Uhuru Tanzania: Umoja 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 ; and • The efficiency of Tanzania Harbours Authority (THA). 3.11.3 General Rail Network Conditions Non-Operational Lines of URC’s Track System Year Rail Spee Ruling Lines Section Km Opened IB/YD d gradient Loop Jinja- 55 1911 50 32 1.3 1.3 Mbulamati Mbulamati 91 1928 50 32 1.0 1.0 – Busembati a Western Kampala- 333 1952 50 32 1.5 1.2 Kasese Norther n Soroti – 175.2 1962 40 40 1.0 1.0 Opit Opit – 114.7 1963 45 40 1.0 1.0 Lolim

As indicated above the operational lines form part of the international northern corridor between the central Kampala - Malaba line, and spur lines to the international Lake Victoria ferry terminals between Kampala, Mwanza and Dar Es Salaam. a. Reliability of rail transport Due weak financial health and absence of fresh investment in locomotives and wagons URC is unable to meet growing demand. High operational costs have led to higher freight rates than road transport from Malaba to and Soroti.

Reliability of providing required wagons on time in one go is poor, time schedule is satisfactory for in-bound cargo. URC b. Problems encountered in the Northern Corridor: The Northern Corridor is the most viable international surface transport corridor for Uganda. The main problems encountered on the corridor and contributing to higher than necessary transport costs include:

• Poor and deteriorating road conditions - the Kenyan part of the road route especially between Nairobi and Mombassa.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 51 of 95

• Poor discharge rate and bureaucratic delays at Mombassa port; • Preference to Kenyan cargo in terms of customs clearance and availability of wagons. • Shortage of railway wagons; • Shortage of trucking capacity for Uganda Mombassa run. • URC lacking Railway engine capacity. Till Mombassa Block train has 20 wagons. From Mombassa to Jinja it becomes 10 per block and from Jinja to Kampala 7 per block. c. Problems on the Southern Corridor: • Poor condition of Tanzanian road links and railway; • Low productivity levels at Dar Es Salaam; • Long border delays; and • Shortage of wagons. d. Network Contraction : Of the five 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.

URC is slowly building network to North and plans to expend Northern Line from Soroti to Lira.

The availability has dropped by 17 in 1996 to 28% in 1999, which was a continued decline for the years covered by data. Locomotive maintenance was undertaken at the Nalukolongo workshops, which were effectively taken over. The annual maintenance cost for locomotives, coaches and wagons was increasing and it was being claimed that it was cheaper to hire locomotives from other railways than to maintain the Uganda railway ones. 3.11.4 Transit Points Uganda is a landlocked country. Encircled by Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, DRC and Sudan. With: 1. Kenya, there are three major transit points.

3.11.5 Transit Point Procedures a. Handover of Cargo WFP cargo is always forwarded from Mombasa to Kampala through a Forwarding Agent. These Forwarders have Contact/Liaison offices in Mombasa and Kampala. The commonly used by WFP are Mearsk , FFK, Transami, Afrofreight and Interfreight. The forwarders take the onus of the cargo movement till it gets to its final destination where they are obliged to ascertain the quantities delivered.

When Cargo gets to Kampala, the Forwarding Agent hands over Transit Documents here referred to as C63's or RCTD's (Road/Rail Transit Declaration) to WFP at Uganda Railways. After this handover, Uganda Railways prepares Railway Consignment Notes (RCN's) Or Traffic Advice Note. This document shows Wagon/ Container numbers, commodity loaded therein, and senders name (Forwarder). It’s upon raising this doc by Railways, that the clearance process commence. b. Customs Clearance Procedures

WFP staff picks Consignment notes from URC, prepares Customs Bill of Entry for Lodgment at Uganda Revenue Authority ( Longroom). Here the documents are checked, customs classification and value assessment done, and the release note given. Once the entry is released from customs, then WFP prepares a Wagon Advance manifest to Uganda Revenue Authority Marshalling Yard office, which authorises URC to forward wagons to WFP rail siding at Nalukolongo for offloading. On arrival of wagons WFP rail siding, URA verification office is informed along with Uganda National Bureau of standards (UNBS) for final verification. Verification by Customs is optional depending on the commodity but mandatory for sensitive commodities like sugar. This process takes a minimum of three (3) days, i.e. 1 day at customs, 1 day for wagon movement to PMB, and 1 day to offload.

3.11.6 Potential Problems a. Additional information: Constraints on performance: Contrary to economic advantage of rail transport, there is an inverse relationship between volumes hauled by rail and those by road. For most efficient routings between Uganda and the coastal ports, the following operations need to be addressed and reviewed.

B. CONDITION OF THE ROAD AND RAIL NETWORKS; • Performance of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania Railways; • Performance of Mombassa and Dar Es Salaam ports; • Efficiency of mode change at Port Bell, Kisumu and Mwanza; • Efficiency of locomotive change at Malaba ; and

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 55 of 95

• Performance of Ugandan, Tanzanian and Kenyan customs and police.

3.12 Storage Facilities 3.12.1 General Description There is no Govt. owned or Food/Commodity organization owned granaries or storage places in Uganda. Most of storage space available is coffee stores, old cotton depots, sunflower seed stores and spinning mill warehouses. New structures are coming up in places like Lira and Gulu to meet growing trading activity. The available warehouses are private owned or district authority owned. For EDPs GOU has provided WFP land in Gulu, Moroto and Kotido. WFP is maintaining 2 CDPs in Uganda with combined capacity 30,000MT. Both the facilities are on railway siding. To supplement these CDPs and cover the whole operational theatre WFP has 25 EDPs with combined capacity of 18470MT. 3.12.2 Storage locations WFP Uganda CDP are at, Tororo and Nalukolongo with 15,000MT each capacity and 25 EDPs with joint capacity of 18,470 MT.

WFP, Uganda is constructing 3 wiikhalls in Gulu to increase Gulu capacity to 3150MT and 3 in Kotido. In Katakwi and Usuk, WFP is using district authority and local council owned warehouses. In Soroti CCF/AAU, in Kaberamaido and Kilaki URCS rented warehouse are being utilized by WFP. 3.12.3 Storage Cost WFP Uganda has six-month automatic renewable contracts with each owner of warehouse. Rent differs from place to place. Where the land is provided by the GOU, WFP do not pay any lease rent. Lease rent is taken care by Local Authorities. In CDPs and EDPs the storage cost is approx. US$ 10 PMT and in EDPs approx. Inand out portage is approx. US$ 2 PMT.

3.12.4 Available additional storage Capacity For WFP needs and storage of food commodities, additional storage capacity is available in Kampala, Lira, Gulu, Soroti and Mbale. The list of additional storage is provided in the Annex.

3.12.5 Available Handling Equipment Type of commodities handled & packing does not require mechanical handling. All operation within the warehouses is manually handled. WFP is not maintaining any mechanical cargo handling equipment. WFP sources wooden pallets locally. The pallets are fabricated by local carpenters at approx. price of Ugandan Shillings 30,000 / pallet.

3.12.6 Use of Pesticides and Fumigants

WFP Uganda has adequate capacity and necessary skilled manpower to do own fumigation.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 57 of 95

Pest control activities are planned and executed by warehouse staff, licensed by Agro Chemicals Board of Ministry of agriculture, Animal husbandry and Fisheries. Chemical spraying of emulsified concentrates (ECs) is the most common method used for chemical pest control at CDPs and EDPs. WFP Uganda currently uses Pyrimiphos methyl and Dichloro phosphate (DDVP) to control residual infestation and also supplement fumigation. For fumigation only Aluminium Phosphide is employed. Two brands of Aluminium phosphide currently used in WFP Uganda are: 1. Fumiphos manufactured by National Fumigants, South Africa. 2. Phostoxin manufactured by Detia Degesch, Germany. Pesticides and fumigants are available in the local market.

Uganda Telecom Limited Uganda telecom limited (UTL) has a comprehensive portfolio of services that include voice and data over fixed, wireless and Internet platforms. UTL landline services are available all over the country, thus making the widest geographical reach by a telecommunications company in Uganda. UTL has in operation a High Speed Data Transmission Network (HSDN) that offers high speed, convenient and secure means for voice, data and video transmission. This is through the use of xDSL technology over copper pairs. The company has data nodes in the following areas of Uganda: Kampala, Entebbe, Mukono, Jinja, Iganga, Mbale, Tororo, Busia, Malaba, Soroti, Masaka, Mbarara, Kabale, Kasese, FortPortal, Bushenyi, Wobulenzi, Gulu and Lira. It has International and regional data services with a terrestrial link to Kenya and international links being possible to different regions in Europe, America and Asia.

CELTEL UGANDA Celtel is one of Africa’s leading mobile phone networks. It is backed by Mobile Systems International Cellular Investments (MSI). It is one of the successful companies in Uganda with an investment of US $ 35 million. The company currently has 50,000 subscribers. MSI cellular owns 89.5 per cent shareholding in Celtel Uganda while the remaining 10.5 per cent belong to the International Finance Corporation, the private sector arm of the World Bank. With an initial coverage in Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja, Celtel has expanded its network to cover many other upcountry areas.

MTN UGANDA Uganda’s teledensity has grown close to ten-fold. Before MTN launched its services, the teledensity in Uganda was one of the lowest in Africa at 0.27%. Today MTN has

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 59 of 95

changed that. Uganda’s teledensity has placed it amidst the middle range of tele- density countries at 2%. (The average in Africa is 1.98%) Access to a telephone, as privilege is a long gone thing. MTN has invested more than US$ 175 million in its network since commencement of operations in Uganda.

5.3 Existing UN Comm. Systems For better understanding existing UN communication system, we divide it into 3 parts: 1. Connectivity between WFP, Kampala, Rome and other stations. WFP CO has both Voice and Data connectivity to Rome and 19 other countries through VSAT. Data communication is through WAN system and voice through PABX. Direct VSAT to VSAT links are currently available to ETnet (Enhanced Telephone network) connected offices. List of these countries and PABX operating instructions are available on www.wfp.or.ug/ict/PABX.pdf

2. Kampala CO and all Sub-offices. CO is connected to all its sub-offices through HF/GSM network for data transfer. Voice connectivity is through GSM network. SOs use CCMAIL for mail management. CTS connectivity is also through the same network. 3. Sub-offices and its staff in the field.

Logistics Capacity Assessment - [Uganda] [Aug - 2004] Page 60 of 95

Field staff for regular connectivity with sub-offices uses VHF, during field operations uses VHF/HF and Inmersat satellite phones. Due to expanding GSM footprints, use of mobile phones is expanding.

5.4 Requirements for technical staff All necessary documents for technical staff are checked during visa processing. Uganda embassies worldwide are very cordial to UN staff and create no undue bureaucratic hurdles.
