Uganda, like many other African countries, is experiencing rapid development marked by construction of new buildings and infrastructure. This means an ever changing skyline not just in Kampala, but all other major towns and urban centres.

To maintain the cultural integrity of the urban landscape, the Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda, with funding the European Union Delegation, is implementing a project for the protection and promotion of historical buildings and sites in Kampala, Jinja and Entebbe under the theme, “Connecting with our heritage through historic buildings and sites.”
