STATUS OF INDUSTRIAL & BUSINESS PARKS AND AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN

UGANDA – JULY 2021

Executive Summary

Vision 2040 seeks to achieve a ‘Transformed Ugandan society from a peasant to modern and
prosperous country within 30 years. The overall strategic goal of the NDP III is ‘Increased
Household Incomes and Improved Quality of Life.’

The Development of Industrial Parks therefore is directly in line with the Uganda Vision 2040
and the NDP III. it is one of the key priority projects aimed at increasing sustainable production,
productivity and value addition in key growth opportunities by developing industrial parks
strategically across the country around specific areas of production to act as supply chains for
raw materials.
The current UIA Strategic Plan 2020/21-2024/25 founded on the 5-year strategic theme of
‘Accelerating Domestic and Foreign Direct Investment for Accelerated Industrialization’ which
focuses on five strategic areas, namely; promote Uganda as the preferred FDI destination;
promote domestic Investment and innovation; improve domestic and international
competitiveness and doing business rankings through an efficient One Stop Centre; accelerate
Uganda’s industrialization through serviced industrial parks, and enhance institutional capacity
to deliver its mandate.

The key to the realization of these long-term goals is to put in place integrated infrastructure and
services in one location with all the required utilities including land, electricity, industrial water,
waste disposal and management facility, ICT infrastructure, roads and modern lighting systems,
parking facilities, etc. For investors to set up manufacturing facilities to facilitate efficient and
low-cost production of goods and services both for local consumption and for export.

2.1 INDUSTRIAL PARK FEASIBILITY STUDIES
To be able to complete the industrial parks development phase, UIA needs to work with
National Planning Authority (NPA) and other Government lead agencies to undertake feasibility
studies for the 25 industrial parks under development. Only one industrial park (Namanve) has a
complete feasibility study done. The approximate cost of one feasibility study is UGX 1.2 billion.
Hence UIA will need a total of UGX 30 billion to finalize these feasibility studies which will then
be utilized to source for external financing for infrastructure development in the industrial parks
N.B. To fully develop all the 26 Industrial and Business parks excluding KIBP, we need UGX
1,991.93 billion and the amount needed for KIBP is Euro 246 million which is already funded
under UKEF. For the Four regional Science and Technology Parks, we need UGX 77.82 billion
and feasibility studies for the parks is UGX 30 billion.

4.4 KARAMOJA INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS PARK
The proposed Karamoja Industrial and Business Park is located in Moroto and Napak Districts.
It is 12 kilometers’ South of Moroto Municipality along Moroto–Soroti Highway. It is located in
Kautokou and Nadunget Parishes of Ngoleriet and Nadunget Sub counties respectively.
The Park covers an area of 417 acres, along the boundaries of Moroto and Napak Districts.
Mineral beneficiation activities are being targeted for employment generation.
The exercise for the Installation of Border Markers was completed.
M/S Savimaxx Limited was contracted by Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) to carry out
Consultancy Services for Master Plan and Environmental Impact Assessment Study for
Karamoja Industrial and Business Park.
The Master Planning and EIA Process reached the final stage although not yet presented to the
National Physical Planning Board for approval due to the land conflict in the Park.
Challenges in Karamoja Industrial and Business Park:
• Land Conflict
Uganda Investment Authority acquired land for the Karamoja Industrial and Business
Park while it was still under Moroto District and the acquisition process was done
formally with the district until the title of the land was transferred to UIA. However, when
Napak District was annexed from Moroto District, there arose a problem of the proposed
land for the industrial park lying in two districts. The community of Kautakou in Napak
District did not agree to the industrial park proposal and this brought the Master Planning
and EIA process to a halt. The discontented people of Napak petitioned the Commission
of Inquiry into land matters headed by Justice Catherine Bamughaire but up to now we
have not yet got any report from that Commission. UIA provided all the information
pertaining to the acquisition of this land to the Commission.
• The Minister of State for Investment and Privatisation promised to engage the leadership
of Napak, where there is more resistance so that the Master Planning process could be
concluded and commence on the physical development of the industrial park
