FOREWORD

The Ministry of Works and Transport (MoWT) has formulated a Strategic Plan to address

medium term planning for the Ministry as the driver of the Transport Sector. Formerly, planning

was done through preparation of Sectoral Long-term Plans for example the 10-year Road Sector

Development Plan and the 15-year National Transport Master Plan. The Budget Framework

Paper and the Ministerial Policy Statement and the Three Year Medium Term Expenditure

Framework (MTEF) rolled over every year was the overarching Budgeting Framework. In the

process, attempts have been made to incorporate and finance programmes from the National

Transport Master Plan and Transport Master Plan for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.

The MoWT has now formulated a well-envisioned Five-year Strategic Plan (2011/12 -2015/16).

This ushers in a medium term plan encompassing both the Works and Transport Sub Sectors.

The Plan is in line with the reforms in the Sector which led to the creation of two new Agencies

that is, Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) in charge of the national road network and

the Uganda Road Fund (URF) responsible for financing road maintenance. Air transport is

managed by Civil Aviation Authority whereas Uganda Railways Corporation is charged with

railway and partly water transport. The Strategic Plan was formulated pursuant to the Sector

mandate which is to:-

a) Plan, develop and maintain an economic, efficient and effective transport infrastructure;

b) Plan, develop and maintain economic, efficient and effective transport services by road,

rail, water, air and pipeline;

c) Manage Public works including government structures and;

d) Promote good standards in the construction industry

Formulation of the Strategic Plan started way back in 2010 and was finally accomplished at the

end of 2011. The Plan is a result of wide consultations with stakeholders particularly the Staff of

the MoWT through departmental meetings, workshops and selected Task Team discussions. Key

among the consultations was on the departmental outputs vis-à-vis the mandate of the Ministry

and the adequacy of the MTEF ceilings provided by the Ministry of Finance Planning and

Economic Development to deliver the Ministry’s mandate.

The Plan sets out a framework which signals where the Ministry is heading to in the next five

years and how it will get there. The framework is consistent with the country’s Works and

Transport Sector objectives as outlined in the National Development Plan (2010/11-2014/15). It

includes the capital outlays for five years to finance the implementation strategy. It is intended to


___________________________________________________________________________


ii

convey and guide the Ministry as a Sector leader and also be used as a guide to inform the annual

budgeting process.

I commend the Staff of the MoWT for the efforts deployed towards finalizing the Plan. I

acknowledge all those who have worked so much to bring the Plan to the final result. Genuine

appreciation of the effort of the framers only be through successful implementation of the Plan

and consequently improving the performance of the Works and Transport Sector.

It is my pleasure to launch this Strategic Plan and flag off its Implementation.

John Byabagambi

MINISTER OF STATE FOR WORKS AND TRANSPORT (WORKS)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Strategic Plan sets out a roadmap for executing the functions of the Ministry in the next Five

years (2011-2016). The Plan aims to competitively meet the expectations of the diverse

stakeholders, build capacity of the selected sector players, inform the annual budgeting process

and foster strategic alliance and partnerships to attract funding to the Sector.

The Strategic Plan presents the mandate, vision, and mission of the Ministry. It includes the

organizational structure of the Ministry, the Situation Analysis, Staffing Levels, Transport

Agencies, Key Functions and Modes of Transport, status of the existing Policies and Legislation

governing the Works and Transport Sector. The Plan presents the Sector Strategic Objectives,

Key Outputs, the Implementation Strategy, Financing Plan and the Monitoring and Evaluation

Strategy.

To achieve the mission, the Ministry has well trained human resource, physical assets, staff

development plan, essential sector policies and a clear mandate. On the other hand, there are

issues which constrain effective service delivery such as limited teamwork, low levels of

confidence among the staff, scattered offices and inadequate contract management skills. The

Ministry benefits from a team of committed Development Partners, prioritization of the sector by

government, functional Transport Agencies and East African Community initiatives in the

Transport Sector as avenues which can be used to improve service delivery. Conversely, there

are few threats which affect the Ministry in pursuance of its mandate. These include staff turn-

over, unplanned/emergency intervention on the road network ravaged by rains/floods, frequent

external audits and procurement reviews.

The Strategic Plan was premised on the National Development Plan and the National Transport

Master Plan including the Master Plan for GKMA. In line with the Ministry and departmental

mandates, Interventions, strategies and outputs to address the Sector objectives were developed.

The Ministry will require input of other Sector players in the fulfillment of the seven strategic

objectives. Departmental budgets to make up the total budget that covers five years were

developed. Equally, the overall budget was guided by MTEF ceilings.

Monitoring and Evaluation of the Plan was based on the Indicators earmarked in the Sector

Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. The indicators will measure the progress of the

interventions and outputs. The indicators measure the sector-wide performance aimed at

informing overall strategic management including review sector policies.


___________________________________________________________________________


vii

The key assumptions made in the Strategic Plan are that; Ministry will retain its structure and

mandate, the GoU budget and donor support will be sufficiently maintained to finance the

departmental activities and top management assumes ownership of the Plan. The Plan identifies

key possible risks and these include unpredictable funding, budget cuts, declining Donor

confidence, poor collaboration among sector agencies, attracting committed and competent staff

turnover, staff indiscipline, weak and unprofessional private sector.


___________________________________________________________________________

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

The Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Works and Transport was formulated to determine the

direction and destination of the Ministry for the next five years and how it is going to get there.

The Plan sets out an implementation framework for undertaking the key functions of the

Ministry for the period 2011-2016. The Strategic Plan was formulated in line with the National

Development Plan (2010/11 -2014/15) and the National Transport Master Plan (NTMP) which

includes a Transport Master Plan for Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (TMP/GKMA) (2008-

2023).

The Plan is a product of a Change Management Process undertaken to re-focus the Ministry after

a restructuring process carried out in 2008. The restructuring and reforms in the Sector resulted

into:

a) Creation of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), entrusted with responsibility

of planning, constructing and maintening of national roads;

b) Creation of the Uganda Road Fund (URF), entrusted with responsibility of determining,

receiving, and directly transferring the fuel levy and other road user taxes directly to

UNRA and Local Governments for road maintenance.

c) A downsizing and transforming the functions of the Ministry of Works and Transport.

The restructuring was meant to spin off and devolve the Ministry functions that were inconsistent

with its role, such as road construction and maintenance, road development, plant management,

ferry services management, axle load control management etc. These functions were included in

the portfolio of the Uganda National Roads Authority which is an implementing agency.

Likewise, other modes of transport such as air and railway transport are shouldered by the Civil

Aviation Authority and Uganda Railways Corporation/Rift Valley Railways respectively. The

Ministry of Works and Transport retained the key functions of policy formulation, planning,

Regulation, Setting Standards, Advocacy Monitoring and Evaluation. The Ministry is the Sector

leader with the overall responsibility of determining the strategic direction for the development

of the Transport Sector.

1.5 Structure of the Strategic Plan

The plan is comprised of four Chapters; Chapter One presents the overview, mandate, vision and

mission, key functions and Values/Principles. Chapter two presents the contextual analysis,

Sector Agencies and modes of transport and lastly an analysis of the SWOT (Strength,

Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats); Chapter Three covers objectives, outputs, Key

assumptions implementation strategy and financingthe Plan and Chapter Four presents the

monitoring and evaluation plus the risk analysis. Departmental action plans and activity budgets

are annexes at the end.

1.2 Significance and Purpose of the Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan for the MoWT charts out strategies towards attainment of the vision.

Specifically, the plan aims to position the Ministry effectively to;

a) Meet the expectations of diverse stakeholders

b) Be a one stop reference for the activities to deliver the Ministry’s mandate

c) Build capacity for the Ministry and selected sector players

d) Inform the annual budgeting process

e) Strengthen professionalism in the Sector

f) Forge strategic alliances and partnerships so as to attract funding to develop the Sector.

1.3 Process of Developing a Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan was developed through a consultative and participatory process within the

Ministry and with key transport stakeholders. Towards the end of 2010, the Senior Management

Team of MoWT engaged in a brain-storming session in Jinja and carried out a SWOT analysis of

the Ministry taking cognizance of the restructuring and the revision of the Ministry’s mandate. A

Task Team was formed to engage departments to formulate action plans and cost the Strategic

Plan. A workshop for Senior Officers to discuss the first Draft Strategic Plan was held in July

2011, A Senior Management meeting was held in December to review the second draft and the

Strategic Plan was finally approved by the Top Management Team of the Ministry in February

2012. The involvement of the different stakeholders was important in order to ensure ownership of the

plan.

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS

The Strategic Plan was developed in line with the National Development Plan (NDP). This

chapter presents the environment in which the Ministry operates. It specifically presents the

Transport and Works Sector Agencies, Modes of Transport, Policies and Legislations, the

Situational Analysis, the Organization Structure and Staffing Levels.

The National Development Plan

The National Development Plan (NDP), a new development framework for the GoU for the

period 2009/10-2013/14, highlights the strategic agenda for development and further details

priority interventions in all sectors of the economy including health nutrition. The overall goal of

the NDP is to accelerate economic growth to reduce poverty. The NDP seeks to achieve 7

development objectives as follows:

• Increasing household incomes;

• Enhancing the quality and availability of gainful employment;

• Improving the stock and quality of economic and trade infrastructure;

• Increasing availability and access to quality social services;

• Promoting innovation and competitive industries;

• Harnessing natural resources and the environment for sustainable development; and

• Strengthening good governance and improving human security

The NDP therefore acknowledges that development of the Works and Transport Sector is a

critical component of economic development.

2.1 Works and Transport Sector Agencies

2.1.1 Uganda National Roads Authority

UNRA was established by the Uganda National Roads Authority Act, 2006, to manage, maintain

and develop the national road network. The Authority became operational in July 2008. The

Authority is gradually building its capacity to deliver its mandate to construct and maintain

national roads. The Ministry exercises its policy guidance and oversight over UNRA based on an

annual Performance Agreement.


___________________________________________________________________________


7

2.1.2 Civil Aviation Authority

CAA exercises both regulatory and operational authority over Entebbe international airport and

the other airfields located around the country. CAA also designates domestic and international

air carriers.

The Authority monitors air safety regulations and standards management in collaboration with

the Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Agency (CASSOA) that was recently

established by the EAC Partner States. The Ministry exercises its policy guidance and oversight

over CAA based on a Memorandum of Understanding.

2.1.3 Uganda Road Fund

URF was established in 2008 by an Act of Parliament to carry out the following functions:

a) To finance the routine and periodic maintenance of public roads in Uganda

b) To ensure that public roads are maintained at all times; and

c) To advise the Minister on:-

i. Preparation and effective implementation of the Annual Road Maintenance

Program; and

ii. Control of overloading of vehicles on public roads.

The Ministry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic

Development, exercises its policy guidance and oversight responsibility to URF based on a

Performance Agreement.

2.1.4 Uganda Railways Cooperation

The Government strategy for the rail sub-sector is through long-term concessioning of

infrastructure maintenance and rail services to the private sector while retaining responsibility for

regulation. URC, however, remains responsible for regulation and oversight of the rail sub-sector

as well as management of railway stock and assets that are excluded from the concession. The

Corporation is also responsible for management of the Inland Water Ports. The Ministry

exercises its policy guidance and oversight responsibility for railway operations based on a

memorandum of understanding.

2.1.5 Transport Licensing Board (TLB)

Transport Licensing Board (TLB) is a Statutory Body established by an Act of Parliament, under

the Traffic and Road Safety Act, 1998. The main functions of the Board are to regulate the use of

public Transport vehicles; private omnibuses; goods transport vehicles throughout Uganda in


___________________________________________________________________________


8

accordance with the provisions of the traffic and Road Safety Act, (1998) through granting

routes for bus operations inspect and licensing Inland Water Transport Vessels.

2.1.6 National Road Safety Council (NRSC)

The National roads Safety Council promotes road safety education and conducts public

awareness campaigns to ensure safety on the road network.

2.1.7 Engineers Registration Board (ERB)

ERB was established by an Act of Parliament, under the Engineers’ registration Act 1969

(Chapter 271). The board regulates and controls Engineers and their activities within Uganda and

to advise the Government in relation to those functions.

2.1.8 Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers (UIPE)

The UIPE was established as an Association of Professional Engineers of Uganda in 1972, as a

successor to the defunct East Africa Institution of Engineers (EAIE) which had started in 1945.

The objectives and purposes of the Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers are to promote

the general advancement of the science and practice of engineering and its applications, and to

facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on those subjects amongst the members of the

Institution.

2.2 The Works/Construction Industry

Government adopted a Policy for Development and Strengthening the National Construction

Industry (NCIP). The main objective of the NCI Policy is to improve regulation and

development of the NCI thereby addressing the constraints associated with the Industry. The

Policy notes that the National Construction Industry (NCI), comprising both the building and

civil engineering sub sectors, performs an indispensable role in building the economy. The NCI

delivers the physical infrastructure that is central to the country’s economic development. Its

activities create business to suppliers, manufacturers and offer employment to professionals,

skilled and unskilled labour. It transforms private and public plans for capital formation.

2.3 Transport Modes

The sector is composed of five transport modes, namely: road, railway, inland water transport,

air and pipeline transport.


___________________________________________________________________________


9

2.3.1 Road Transport

Road transport in Uganda is by far the most dominant mode. It plays an essential role in

facilitating the realization of economic and social development programmes. Over 95 percent of

the country's passenger and freight traffic is transported by Road, and provides almost all the

access to rural communities.

The road network is categorized as follows:

a) National roads that connect major urban and/or major regional commercial and

administrative centers;

b) District roads that connect the rural population to District administration headquarters,

major towns and trading centers; and major social amenities like hospitals and schools in

the rural areas;

c) Urban roads that lie within the boundaries of urban authorities connecting the urban

population to various facilities within the urban area; and

d) Community Access roads which provide rural communities with access to administrative

and social services, economic activities; and finally link them to the District road network

The road network is interfaced with some ferry landing sites that link roads, on opposite sides of

water-ways. Uganda is part of the northern and central transport corridors that convey both

exports and imports, via the coastal neighbors, Kenya and Tanzania respectively. The country’s

road network also provides transit corridors for the other more landlocked neighbours namely,

Rwanda, Burundi, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Southern Sudan. The road

network serves national, regional and international economies. The strategic importance of

maintaining and developing the road network in good condition cannot therefore be over-

emphasized.

The Uganda road network totals 81,329km. Of this 20,000km, are categorized as National

Roads, of which 3000km are paved and the remaining 17,800km are gravel.

District Roads total to 22,750km and are virtually all unpaved, 3,579km, of the total are urban

roads, and 35,000km is Community Access roads; which are all earth.

The motorized vehicle fleet in 2008, including motorcycles, is estimated at 470,488 vehicles.

The total fleet, excluding motorcycles, is 234,036 vehicles; and of this, 60% are passenger

vehicles (buses, minibuses and cars), 25% light goods vehicles (pickup vans and 4-wheel drives),

and 12% are heavy vehicles.


___________________________________________________________________________

2.3.2 Rail Transport

The operation of railways in Uganda was up to 2006 under the management of Uganda Railways

Corporation, a Government statutory body. In line with the Government Policy of divestiture,

management of the railways was from 2006 concessioned to a private company, Rift Valley

Railways (RVR). The adjoining Kenya Railways was also jointly concessioned to RVR; thus

having an integral railway operation from Kampala to the sea port of Mombasa, Kenya. The

railway network in Uganda totals to 1,244.4km, of which only 258.6km (21%) are operational.

Passenger services have since been withdrawn. The routes largely offer freight services for

imports and exports. The operational routes are:

Kampala – Jinja- Tororo 249 km

Kampala – Port Bell 9.6 km

Total 258.6 km

URC progressively withdrew its services from a number of routes culminating into a total of

985.8km, 79% of the network, being closed. The non-operational routes are:

Kampala – Kasese (western extension) 333 km

Jinja – Mbulamuti - Busembatia (Busoga loop) 146 km

Tororo – Mbale– Soroti–Lira– Gulu– Pakwach (northern line) 506.8 km

Total 985.8 km

Within Uganda RVR operates services from Kampala to Tororo/Malaba (border with Kenya) and

a spur line from Kampala to Port Bell pier on Lake Victoria. From Tororo/Malaba, the Kenya

railway network joins the Uganda network connecting to the Port of Mombasa. The railway

service in Uganda is also responsible for wagon ferries and ferry routes across Lake Victoria.

From the Port Bell pier, wagon-ferries connect to the Tanzania railway network at Mwanza on

Lake Victoria; and onward to Dar-es-Salaam. The wagon ferries also join the Kenya railway

network at Kisumu and proceed to Mombasa seaport.

Uganda’s hitherto fleet of 3 wagon ferries is currently non-functional; with two wagon ferries

having collided, and one of them sunk as a result. The remaining two are grounded pending

possible repair.

Table 1 shows value addition for Uganda Railways Corporation (URC). With the exception of

the year 2003/4 when it achieved a value addition growth rate of 2.7%, the rail sub-sector

performance declined throughout the period 2002/03 to 2006/07.

The sub-sector had substantial negative value addition growth rates of -1.6%,-6.6%. -11.4% and

-2.9% in 2002/03, 2004/05, 2005/06 and 2006/07 respectively. This is a reflection of the decline

in the role of railway in the haulage of heavy bulk traffic, especially imports and exports. Most

of the traffic is taken on by road, increasing the number of Equivalent Standard Axles (ESAs) on

the roads and hence the rate of pavement deterioration.

2.3.3 Inland Water Transport

Uganda is endowed with an expanse of water resources in the form of lakes and rivers. Inland

Water Transport has great potential. It plays an important role in the provision of low-cost access

to remote islands and shoreline locations on the lakes and connecting desired destinations along

banks of navigable rivers. It further enhances agricultural production and the fast-growing

fishing industry by facilitating movement of agricultural produce and fish to markets and

processing facilities.

Short distance ferry services that are essentially road bridges are provided between two road

systems separated by water. The ferry services currently in operation are:

Bukakata (Masaka) – Luuku (Ssese Islands) on Lake Victoria;

Kiyindi (Mukono) – Kirongo (Buvuma Island) on Lake Victoria;

Nakiwogo (Mpigi) – Kyanvumbu (Mpigi) on Lake Victoria;

Wanseko (Masindi) – Panyimur (Nebbi) on Lake Albert;

Masindi Port (Masindi) – Kungu (Apac) on Victoria Nile;

Umi (Adjumani) – Laropi (Moyo) on Albert Nile; and


___________________________________________________________________________


12

Murchison Falls National Park (the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) operates commercial

ferry services at Paraa on Victoria Nile).

With the exception of the recently acquired Kalangala Ship, plying between the mainland and

Kalangala islands, the inland water transport in Uganda is characterized by obsolete water

vessels which are in a state of disrepair; poor landing infrastructure and facilities, disjointed laws

and regulations; and inadequate planning and monitoring.

In addition, private operators provide informal services on waterways, mainly using open canoes

with onboard or outboard engines. The canoes carry passengers, goods and livestock. The vessels

are often overloaded, with the attendant risk of capsizing. As a result of the above situation,

inland water transport continues to experience frequent accidents.

2.3.4 Pipeline Transport

The bulk of the country’s white oil products are transported by pipeline from Mombasa oil

refinery to Eldoret and Kisumu, in Kenya. From Eldoret and Kisumu the oil products are

transported to Kampala by road through Malaba or Busia or by rail through Malaba or rail wagon

ferry from Kisumu to Port Bell. The governments of Kenya and Uganda agreed to extend the

Mombasa-Eldoret pipeline by 320 km to Kampala. As per the National Transport Master Plan

2009, construction of the pipeline that is expected to take 12 months, is about to start.

Meanwhile, the on-going Oil exploration along Lake Albert indicates that Uganda is set to

produce commercial quantities of Oil.

This may call for construction of an Oil pipeline to transport either the crude or refined oil,

depending on the decisions that will be taken in regard to the location of the refinery.

2.3.5 Air Transport

The aviation industry in Uganda is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), an

autonomous statutory body established in 1994. Uganda has one International Airport at Entebbe

and airfields distributed across the country namely: Kidepo (private), Arua, Gulu, Moroto,

Pakuba, Lira, Soroti, Masindi, Tororo, Jinja, Kasese, Mbarara, and Kisoro. Entebbe

International Airport is Uganda’s main gateway for passengers and cargo; as well as a domestic

hub for the upcountry airfields.

Uganda being a land-locked country, an efficient air transport system is of immense strategic

value for the movement of international passengers, perishable exports such as vegetables, fish,


___________________________________________________________________________


13

fruits and flowers and evacuations of emergency nature. There has been considerable increase in

international passenger traffic, growing by 149,722 passengers (an increase of 87.2%) from

171,656 in 2000 to 321,378 in 2006. The country has no national carrier and continues to be

served by various international carriers.

assumptions were made. These include:

a) The Ministry will retain its mandate

b) Continued political stability.

c) Continued political support at national level


___________________________________________________________________________


20

d) Continued economic growth and consequently an increase in Government allocation

to the Ministry

e) Prudent financial management, accountability and transparency shall be key in order

to attract financial and other resources to the Ministry.

f) Availability of an effective legal and policy environment

g) The general budget and donor support will be sufficient to execute the strategic plan

h) Departments and top Management to own the plan

3.3 Implementation Strategy

The Implementation Strategy was guided by sector objectives, departmental interventions, a five-

year activity schedule and budget estimates were developed. The Works and Transport Sector

has seven objectives in the NDP. To contribute towards the achievement of the objectives,

appropriate interventions and outputs were designed by departments. See Annex 1.

3.4 Financing

The Ministry of Works and Transport will be funded by the Government of Uganda and

Development Partners. Development partner assistance is likely to be required to support high

level technical/feasibility studies and designs involving improvement of works and transport

infrastructure. GOU funding will be adequately required to support development of policy and

legal instruments, capacity building and acquisition of working tools and facilities.

CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND RISK ANALYSIS

4.1 Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring and Evaluation is a prerequisite for measuring performance. A mid-term review will

be carried out after two and a half (2.5) years of plan implementation. This will be done to ensure

that resources allocated towards the implementation of the plan are translated into a long-term

impact in the Sector. A set of Key Performance Indicators developed in the Sector Monitoring

and Evaluation framework will be largely used to measure attainment of the objectives.

A mid-term review will be undertaken in the FY 2013/14 and the final evaluation at the end of

the implementation period. Key lessons learnt will be documented and these will form a basis for

future improvement.

Evaluation will be conducted under two categories;

a) Departmental assessments on the basis of the work plans as indicated in Annexes 1.

b) The Ministry will be evaluated on the basis of the overall performance under the 17

Golden indicators contained in the sector M&E framework.

4.2 Key Performance Indicators

Monitoring and Evaluation will be undertaken to ensure successful implementation of the Plan.

An M&E Framework was formulated. It consists of 17 key sector performance indicators- the

Golden Indicators. These summarize the transport situation in the road, rail, air and water

transport sub-sectors, thereby enabling results-based management of the Sector. The Golden

Indicators are related to the mandate and functions of the Ministry and its Agencies. The

indicators complement other sets of indicators, notably those used in the Annual Government

Performance Report and the JAF.
