Regional Issues : Main gateway for exports and imports to the port of Mombasa on the Kenya coast not only for Uganda but other landlocked Eastern African nations of Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and Eastern DRC (Northern Corridor and part of Trans-African highway). Project Rationale and benefits The road traverses four districts (627,000 pop): Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono and Buikwe and major towns of Mukono and Lugazi and is part of Northern Corridor and Trans-African highway. Currently its design capacity is far exceeded resulting into high travel times, VOCs and number of accidents. The construction of the new road to dual carriageway will divert traffic from the existing road (average diversion for eastbound and westbound is 55% and 40%, and 56% and 65% for am and pm flows respectively) thereby improving mobility within congested Kampala city. Other benefits include: providing a stimulus to mixed agricultural production, improving accessibility of communities not currently connected to the national road network, and promoting economic regeneration and access to jobs (11,000 new jobs); better provision and access to social services, and increase in land value. Traffic Count (2010): AADT = 51,034 - 20,072 (Kampala Mukono) due to commuter traffic; and 9,742 - 14,459 Lugazi - Jinja Links with proposed projects: Planned Industrial Park at Namanve, proposed Kampala City Airport at Namanve (a Strategic Economic Zone (SEZ, business park, inland and wet port), and integration with Southern Bypass, Bukassa Port, Rehabilitation of existing Kampala-Jinja Road, New Nile Bridge, Flyover project for Greater Kampala and JinjaMbulamuti Road. Proposed Financing Mechanism: Private-publicpartnership Design Status : Feasibility Study and Preliminary Cost Estimates Land Needed to be Acquired: Yes Traffic (2037): AADT = 85,266 - 2,864 (Kampala – Mukono) due to commuter traffic; and 18,652 - 18,018 Lugazi - Jinja Proposed Delivery Mechanism : Contractor/Supervising Engineer Economic Cost (USD): 658 million Economic Benefits (USD): 1710 Million Summary Economic Value : IRR = 26.4 %;NPV = US$ 1,051.67 million; NPV/C 1.597; FIRR = 6% Estimate Construction Period (Years) : 3 Time to start of construction (years): 3 Potential for Private Investment: PPP: financial recovery plan through tolling If PPP: Financial recovery plan through tolling: Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) = USD 3.8-5.6 million (2017-37); Risk contingency estimated at 14%; Status of land acquisition: Cost estimate: USD 30.4 million; GOU to pay. Social and Environmental Issues 1 Persons/ land/ households affected Severity of Impact (H/M/L) Mitigation Identified Job creation skilled (61,83,250) and unskilled (84,441),and service providers (e.g. food vendors etc.) translating into improved living conditions for the community Along alignment Low Recruitment of casual workers and procurement of services should consider local communities first, ensure women participation is at least 30%, youths are considered and no child labour. Skills development for unskilled workers leading to higher employment opportunities, living conditions and safety awareness Land owners will earn from the sale of construction materials thereby improving on their standards of living Destruction of the environment including aesthetic beauty at borrow areas and quarries. Along alignment Low Training of unskilled workers in safety awareness and livelihood skills training Along alignment High Contractor will negotiate with land owners terms for gravel extraction and aggregate crushing including compensation as appropriate. Along alignment Minor Deliberate efforts will be taken to restore affected sites to their former beauty according to an Environmental Management approved by NEMA. Contractor will make restoration plans prior to works activities. Train and use village committees to monitor. Description of Impact Positive Impact (Construction) 1 During Construction the Contractor should follow fully the Implementation of the Environmental Management and Monitoring (EMMP) by developing the following plans to be certified by an Environmentalist (a) Spill Prevention and Counter Measure, (b) Waste Management, (c) Occupational Health and Safety, (d) HIV/AIDS Prevention and Mitigation, and (e) Erosion and Sediment Control. The Client should implement fully the Resettlement Action Plan including land and structure compensation and relocation of utilities - water, electrical, communication according to the law. On completion of the construction phase of the project, all environmental components disturbed by the project to be restored back to as near as possible their original state under the supervision of an environmentalist. Persons/ land/ households affected Severity of Impact (H/M/L) Mitigation Identified Poor sanitation will lead to contamination of water sources and other communal facilities Along alignment Low Provision of adequate well-designed sanitation facilities segregated by gender and training workers to abide by the sanitation guidelines at camp sites and working areas Disruption of works by the other road users, and additional construction traffic will exacerbate the already high traffic density along the existing alignment; Along alignment Minor At junctions where existing access roads cross the new road under construction or where the road under construction crosses the existing, the Contract must provide traffic control plans including alternative routes/access. Along new alignment the road would be closed to the public to reduce any disruption. Land take for road reserve for new and old alignment, and ancillary works and borrow areas & quarries, relocation markets. Along alignment Moderate Land acquired will be fully and fairly compensated for in accordance with RAP and the law. Perennial crops coffee, banana plantations, fruit trees) and trees that will be valued and compensated using rates approved by the District Land Boards. Poor health due to noise, dust, explosives during quarrying activities and possible accidents at crusher area and general project area Along alignment Moderate The Contractor to fulfill a number of measures as par Occupational Health and Safety Plan and the approved Safety & Health management plan. Provision and enforcement of use of personnel protection equipment. Health of both workers and the general population would be at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS Area of Influence Moderate A Service Provider specialized in HIV/AIDS sensitization and prevention programs will be engaged to run an AIDS testing and counseling programs, and treat related opportunistic diseases and referral for further care for both workers and communities. Sensitize women & girls regarding sexual harassment. Tampering with or destruction of cultural and historical importance Along alignment Moderate No ancillary works or borrow areas will be located within 2 km from a cultural historic site and if graves are encountered will be handled according to the cultural norms in the area. Avoid as much as possible of cultural sites identified in ESIA. Increase in transport options for the community inhabitants between Kampala and Jinja and project area of influence; Area of Influence Moderate Consolidate regulation of transport services especially with respect to safety and comfort issues. Offer livelihood skills training specific to transport services. Decreased travel time and reduction in vehicle operating costs. Along alignment Moderate Consolidate road traffic regulation and enforcement, and enhance economic regulation of transport for hire. Give highest priority to maintenance. Improved access to socioeconomic and administrative services Area of Influence Moderate Enhance quality and capacity of services to meet demand. Planting of trees will enhance the beautification of the areas along the road providing a natural buffer between road and adjoining land. Along alignment Minor Encourage controlled planting of fruit and timber trees in the road reserve and adjacent land. It is the MoWT policy that trees should be planted along the road reserve to improve aesthetics as well as mark the road reserve boundaries. Trees should be maintained in line with the maintenance plan UNRA has put in place Along alignment High Barriers should be constructed especially along busy areas to discourage people from joining the road at any point they may wish. Such a barrier should be high enough to discourage any individual from climbing over. Distribute the Highway Code to schools and communities and sensitise them on safe road use behaviour Description of Impact Negative Impact (Construction) Positive Impact (Operation) Negative Impact (Operation) Potential hazards to the community if they have to cross the road to access water sources, schools, health centers, churches, markets, etc. Status in National Plans: High priority Social-Economic Data Kampala-Jinja Road Area of Influence Districts Kampala Wakiso Mukono Buikwe SubCounties Nakawa Kiira Goma Nama Male 247,784 Population in Area of Influence Female Total Population Characteristics/ Dynamics of Respondents 255,226 503,010 Land Tenure/ Land Use Town Council Kawolo Lugazi, Najjembe Njeru Socio-economic Indicators in Area of Influence Health/ Transport Water & Sanitation/ Education  80% within the working age bracket (19 60 yrs, median 48) Land Tenure: Source of Income: Health: Water & Sanitation:  50% Mailo Urban: Morbidity:  53% protected wells  21% Freehold  60% business enterprise  70% Malaria  18% boreholes  22% Leasehold  19% agriculture  16% Coughs (RTI)  20% rivers and swamps  HH size 69.3% (1-9) and 26.4% (10 -19)  77% owned and 11% are tenants  11% salaried  6% HIV/AIDS Rural:  5% Diarrhoea  60% within 1 km from the nearest water source Land Use:  71% subsistence farming with cash crops like coffee (20% of national production) sugarcanes, tea, maize, cassava and potatoes and bananas, beans, ground nuts, Irish potatoes, onions, tomatoes, fruits both for consumption and sale Accessibility: Education:  Health Centre IV & private Clinic within 1 to 2km  11% having never gone to school  Subsistence livestock cattle (11%), pigs (26%), goat (18%) and poultry (45%), sheep  22% commercial of permanent nature  Dairy farms in Mukono and Cattle ranches in Buikwe Urban: Kampala:  Manufacturing, Food and Beverages Processing, Metal Fabrication, Various Industrial workshops Wakiso: Municipality Mukono HH Livelihood  Metal Fabrication, Tiles and Clay Works, Carpentry, Manufacturing, Processing, Light Industry Mukono:  Stone Quarrying, Jaggery, Foot Wear, Furniture, Coffee Processing, Tea and Bakeries, Sugar Factory, Industry Buikwe:  Cassava Starch, Curry Powder, Animal, Feeds, Soft Drinks, Metal Fabrication, Soap Manufacture  13% engaged in business off own land Housing:  67% residential of semipermanent nature Transport:  11% personal cars  49% minibus  9% Civil servants  24% boda-bodas  7% Others  3% buses  Fishing alongside the shores of Lake Victoria  1% bicycles  Road side trading in agricultural, livestock, fish and forestry (charcoal) products Rural:  Bricklaying, and stone quarries  12% walk  56% Boda Boda  24% Minibus  4% personal cars
