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.

Increasing Access to Finance in Uganda Intro

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT CASE STUDY DFCU BANK INCREASING ACCESS TO FINANCE IN UGANDA INTRO ABOUT NORFUND Norfund is Norway’s Development Finance Institution and our mandate is to support the building of sustainable businesses in poor countries, thereby contributing to economic growth and poverty reduction. Norfund’s strategy is to invest in the sectors and countries in which we can have the greatest impact; where the private sector is weak and access to capital is scarce. We concentrate our investments in sectors that are important drivers of development: Clean Energy, Financial Institutions, and Food and Agribusiness. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS Financial institutions contribute to economic growth by promoting access to finance, encouraging enterprise growth and innovation. Access to finance tends to lead to higher employment growth, especially among micro, small, and medium enterprises, and also helps to reduce poverty.1 DEVELOPMENT RATIONALE Financial institutions need access to debt and equity for extending loans to clients. Capital helps finance business development, enables banks to develop products and increase their market reach. One of the targets of the Sustain- able Development Goals set by the United Nations is to “strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access INVESTMENT for all to banking, insurance and financial services”. Access to finance is often NEED more of a constraint for small companies than for large companies. According to the IFC, more than 200 million micro- to medium-sized enterprises in developing economies lack access to affordable financial services and credit. 2 Norfund invests in banks, micro finance providers, and other financial institutions that target SMEs, the retail market and clients that have not previously had access to financial services.
