Uganda: Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project

The objective of the Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project for Uganda is to improve regional and local access to infrastructure, markets, and skills development in the Albertine region. The project has three components. The first component, regional access and connectivity aims to improve overall accessibility to the Albertine region, reduce travel times, and improve access to markets and services. It will finance the upgrading of an approximately 100 kilometer (km) stretch of road from Kyenjojo to Kabwoya which forms part of the 238 km Kyenjojo-Hoima-Masindi-Kigumba road connecting the districts of Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi, and Kiryandongo in Western Uganda. The second component, local access, planning, and development aims to increase rural accessibility to markets and services, prepare selected key urban centers for growth, and provide economic infrastructure targeted to key sectors in the region. It comprises of following three sub-components: (i) physical planning; (ii) local infrastructure; and (iii) technical assistance and oversight. The third component, skills access and upgrading is designed to upgrade business, technical and vocational education, and training (BTVET) quality in the oil and gas sector, make it more in line with private sector demands, and provide greater access to the BTVET system to people living in the Albertine region. This component will finance the upgrading of selected institutes which support the objectives of the skilling Uganda strategy, including Uganda Petroleum Institute in Kigumba (UPIK) and Uganda Technical College of Kichwamba (UTC) and a new third institute in Nwoya district, including, inter alia, physical infrastructure, goods, curricula development, and instructor training.
