On April 27th, 2023, officials from @WBG_IDA, the funder of the @GovUganda USMID program, visited Kamwenge District to assess the progress of ongoing projects. The visit was welcomed by the district CAO, Mr. Turyahebwa Hanny, who expressed gratitude to the Government of Uganda, the World Bank, and the Ministry of Lands, housing, and urban development for the support rendered to the district and the job well done so far. During the visit, Joseph Walter Pade - The Commissioner of Urban Development, in the @ministry_lands, highlighted the six physical infrastructure projects undertaken in Kamwenge; the construction of 3 gravel roads (19.7kms), Bwitankanja-Nsonosa Road (5.6kms), Burambira-Mikamba road (6.7kms) and Mutwe-Kyamwera Road. A resource centre and market shed at Nkoma sub-county, a playground/stadium, a taxi park and another resource centre at Nkoma in Katalyebwa Town Council which is already completed. The purpose of the visit was to inspect the civil works projects in Kamwenge District and assess the performance of the physical planning sub-component and the systematic land adjudication project. The World Bank's support to the District Local Governments hosting large numbers of refugees through the USMID- Additional Financing Programme has helped Kamwenge, which currently hosts 86114 refugees, make significant progress in infrastructure development. In support of the refugee hosting districts sub-component, the funding goes to three areas; (a) physical planning, (b) land tenure (systematic land adjudication and certification), and (c) infrastructure investments.
