Human encroachment, illicit land sales, military occupation and climate change are crippling Uganda’s ports, undermining productivity and stalling redevelopment that could threaten trade competitiveness.
Uganda has eight ports scattered across Lake Victoria and other water bodies. They are currently managed by Uganda Railways Corporation (URC), a state-owned enterprise. They are Port Bell, Jinja Pier, Lambu Port, Pakwach West Pier, Pakwach East Pier, Port Alice, Butiaba Port and Namasagali Port, URC records show.
