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

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.

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.
MoWT Strategic Plan - 2011/12 - 2015/16 ______________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Vision- To provide reliable and safe works, transport infrastructure and services.
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
MoWT Strategic Plan - 2011/12 - 2015/16 ______________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Vision- To provide reliable and safe works, transport infrastructure and services.
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.

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.

Source: UBOS Statistical Abstract 2007 and Background to the Budget
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

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,

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.

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.
