23 East African Railways and Harbours Administration
NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Washing%on, D.C. ast Africa High Commission November 29, 195 (2) East African Railways and Harbours Administration Mr. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 22 Fifth Avenue New York 6, New York Dear Mr. Rogers The public Railways and Inland Marine Service of ast Africa, a] oerated by the Railways and Harbours Administration, are by far the rlncipal means of transport of the area. In 1992 they performed some I,98,60,O ton miles of freight haulage and some 6,,898 passenger orneys over ,O99 route miles of metre gauge railway and other routes. The present role of the railway is varie. At the outlying pointB it is rovidlng access to new agrlc,tural areas and to mineral operations. Along established lines it continues to bring in the capital equipment for development and the import goods in demand by the uropean, Asian and African population; but it also is serving increasingly as an economic integrator, allowing regional agricultural specialization so that each smal bloc of territory ned not remain fully self sufficient in food grains. The comparatively cheap*haulage to the coast of larger quantities of export produce, sisal, cotton, coffee, sod-ash, is a necessary facility for the expanding economy of .East Africa. The railway also gives mobility to labor in ast Africa, facilitating the migrations necessary for agricultural purposes and for industries denendent upon large numbers of African personnel. By providing longer heavier haulge services, the railways complement their own and other motor transport service; the natural difficulties of road building and maintanance being formidable in East Africa, it is usually accepted that truck haulage routes should be ancilary to the railway. -

My Illustrious (But Brief) Military Career Or How My Name Never Made It Ontothe Regimental Roll
My Illustrious (but brief) Military Career Or How My Name Never Made it OntoThe Regimental Roll [Jitze Couperus] You may be interested in some background as to why I never made it officially on to the Kenya Regiment Long Roll; I was basically, a Uganda boy and while Uganda boys did participate in the CCF (Combined Cadet Force) while at the Prince of Wales School, they were never actually called- up into The Regiment on leaving school. This was because, as Uganda residents, they did not live in a British Colony – rather they lived in what was merely a British Protectorate where conscription rules did not apply. However, Murphy’s Law struck. During my last term at the Prince of Wales, two things happened. My parents moved to Nairobi (thus I was in transition to becoming a Kenya resident) and peace in the Congo blew apart within hours of independence. So my last term at school was cut short; the other boys were sent home early because the dormitories were needed to house Belgian refugees, but I had to stay on as one of a few senior prefects to help receive and settle the refugees. During this exercise it was discovered by “the authorities” that I spoke Dutch (my parents had come originally from Holland) - which was very useful in communicating with some of the Belgians – as Dutch is very similar Flemish. Also I was conversant in the local variety of Swahili spoken in Western Uganda and across the border in The Congo - which was useful in communicating with Greek refugees whom the Belgians had originally imported to work as fundis (craftsmen) in the mines at Union Minière. -

Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project (Arsdp)
Republic of Uganda ALBERTINE REGION SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (ARSDP) RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK (RPF) VOLUME 1 FINAL DRAFT REPORT NOVEMBER 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The Government of Uganda (GoU) with support of the World Bank (IDA) is preparing the Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project. The Albertine Rift Valley is a center for rapid growth which is likely to accelerate with the oil development underway in the region. To ensure that the benefits of the oil development reach the residents of the area, GoU is keen to improve connectivity to and within the region and local economic infrastructure. The two Districts of Buliisa and Hoima are the focus of the project as well as the Town Council of Buliisa. Hoima Municipality is already included in the USMID project, which is shortly to commence, and is thus not included in the ARSDP. Project Components The Project has three components which are outlined below. Component 1. upgrading of 238km of Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima-Masindi-Kigumba is to be funded by both the AfDB (138km) and The World Bank (IDA) (100km). The RAP for this component has already been prepared, comments reviewed by the Bank and an update of PAPs and property is on going therefore this RPF does not cover component 1. The project coverage for component 2 and 3 will be as described below but in the event that additional districts are added under component 2 and any additioanl technical colleges are added under component 3 this RPF will apply. Component 1: Regional Connectivity: Improvement of the Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima- Kigumba National Road. -
