@Usmid_AF @JudithNabakoob1 @WBG_IDA @WorldBankAfrica @NRMOnline @GCICUganda @GovUganda @ministry_lands @GCICMediaReview @UgandaMediaCent @KagutaMuseveni WB drops another $540M for Ugandan cities: '5.6M beneficiaries, 20k permanent jobs, climate-smart roads!' 😎 #UCMID

This morning, while addressing journalists and the media at the Uganda Media Centre, Hon. @JudithNabakoob1 , Minister for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, announced that Government had secured $540 million (UGX 2.1 trillion) from the World Bank to support urban transformation across Uganda. The Minister noted that the funding, which includes an $80 million grant, will finance the Uganda Cities and Municipalities Infrastructure Development (UCMID) Programme, a six-year initiative running from 2026 to 2031. She stated that the programme will be implemented in 10 cities, 26 municipalities, and 13 refugee-hosting districts, directly benefiting an estimated 5.6 million people, including 1.6 million in refugee-hosting communities. The Minister explained that the programme is designed to address key urban challenges, including inadequate road infrastructure, flooding, gaps in solid waste management, and limited employment opportunities in urban areas. She further noted that the programme will deliver improved urban roads and mobility, enhanced drainage systems, strengthened waste management, and better planned and managed urban spaces to support economic activity. The Minister added that the programme is expected to generate approximately 20,000 permanent jobs, including 5,000 for refugees and host communities, while supporting small businesses and improving household incomes, particularly for youth and women. Providing context, she highlighted that 27% of Uganda’s population currently resides in urban areas, growing at 5.2% annually, and that urban centres are projected to contribute up to 70% of the country’s GDP. She emphasized that the programme will also support the decongestion of Kampala by creating economic opportunities in regional cities, while strengthening institutional capacity for urban planning and management. On the next steps, the Minister indicated that Government will finalize legal agreements with the World Bank, undertake stakeholder sensitisation, and commence procurement processes for infrastructure works. In closing the minister called on local governments to ensure compliance with all environmental and social safeguards to ensure a smooth rollout of the program.

Excited to unveil the majestic hike to Mount Otce the highest peak in West Nile, right beside Arra Fishing Lodge! Standing at approximately 1,600m above sea level, this gem has already been conquered twice by the unstoppable @MtSlayersUg. Expect an unforgettable adventure: spotting over 160 bird species along the trail, deep community immersion, wild fruit tasting, and a delicious bush breakfast prepared by @arralodges waiting for you at the summit! From the top, enjoy the rare aerial view of the mighty Nile, dramatic escarpments, Nimule town in South Sudan, and the Laropi ferry crossing. It’s quite possibly the only mountain in the world offering such a stunning direct view of a major river! Imagine your hike enriched with local performances, storytelling, and foraging topped off with a celebratory Madi cultural dance upon descent, plus a refreshing coffee break at the base. Mount Otce is a declared forest reserve and former White Rhino & Chimpanzee Sanctuary. While the rhinos are extinct and chimps haven’t been sighted lately, we believe it’s time to launch a reintroduction campaign! Watch the full experience here: youtu.be/apK8toywZYE?si…

The 4th Edition of the Buhweju Ecotourism and Cultural Festival is scheduled for Saturday, July 25, 2026 in Buhweju District. The event will showcase local culture, environmental conservation, and tourism, tree planting campaign, hiking, cultural performances, and local food.
