In the 2016/17 budget, the government allocated more than Shs. 3 827.54 billion to the works and transport sector in order to improve the condition of transport infrastructure nationwide.
Government intends to accelerate the construction and completion of on-going road projects and maintenance of the national, district, urban and community access road networks and numerous bridges across the country.
The Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), the government entity charged with the construction and maintenance of roads, has also undergone a total overhaul of its management in a bid to fight corruption, waste and inefficiency in the construction of roads.
