UG-Nakivubo Channel Rehab SIl (FY99)

closed

The Nakivubo Channel Rehabilitation project will alleviate the frequent flood incidence on the road network, which affects traffic flows, with an adverse impact on the economic activity and living conditions in Kampala. Institutionally, the Project will enhance the Kampala City Council (KCC) management capacity, helping establish the infrastructure investment policies, and ultimately, support KCC's reform program. The project components include civil works regarding the rehabilitation of the main channel, construction of auxiliary drains, and, the rehabilitation of priority drainage. Consulting services for construction supervision will be financed by the project, as will the required program and policy studies, namely the Kampala Drainage Master Plan Study and the Kampala Urban Transportation Improvement Program Study. Institutional strengthening will support both, the KCC reform program under the strategic framework for reform, and the revenue enhancement program. To facilitate outsourcing of basic delivery functions, seed funds will be available, and training and implementation support will be further provided.
