Sector Snapshot
Uganda has made substantial progress on its infrastructure agenda in recent years. The early and successful reforms in the ICT sector led to an increase in mobile phone coverage and penetration, resulting in a highly competitive market. The unbundling of the power sector has doubled power generation capacity.
Uganda is doing well in water and sanitation and has made effective use of performance contracting to improve utility performance. The vast and varied waterways in Uganda are also beneficial for the production of hydroelectric power. Upgrading the transportation network and increasing power generation and transmission capacity is now Uganda’s top economic priority.
A comprehensive road network and widespread access to electricity will connect farmers to trading centres, add value to production, and improve the population’s welfare.
