Facts and Figures: How UNRA is contributing to Social-Economic Transformation of Uganda 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is dedicated to transformation of Uganda from a peasantry economy to a modern self-sustaining industrial economy. We cannot transform the economic without a sound national transport network. The NRM Government under the leadership of H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni working through Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) is committed to development of an effective transport system connecting all districts of Uganda to East Africa countries.

Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) is set to be recognised with the Uganda Economic Development Mark of Excellence Award by Public Opinions in appreciation of its contribution towards attainment of Uganda Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We congratulate UNRA and its development partners as well as the Responsible Road Construction Companies for working towards social economic transformation of Uganda through attainment of Uganda Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Public Opinions will continue to monitor the road construction sector and also recognize best performing companies that are contributing to the development of Uganda. We congratulate Ms Allen Kagina for the great achievements registered by UNRA so far but above all we appreciate the guidance of H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to ensure efficiency and better services at UNRA.

Here we present to you some of the basic facts on operations of UNRA and how it has been working towards attainment of Uganda Vision 2040 and attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.This will help the people of Uganda as well as investors to easily understand and appreciate the great work of UNRA.Here we will focus on UNRA Activities for 2019 to 2021.

UNRA is appropriated a budget for its recurrent and development activities from Government of Uganda (GoU) with the support of the Development Partners under Vote 113. The development budget is mainly utilized for the planning, design, rehabilitation, improvement and upgrading of the national road network.

The recurrent budget is utilized for wages to staff and the organizational operational or administration costs. UNRA also receives funds from the Uganda Road Fund specifically for the maintenance and operation of the National Road Network. The total approved budget for FY 2019/20 was UGX 4,289.07 Billion.

RECURRENT: WAGE

By the end of FY19/20 100% of the approved wage bill amounting to UGX 71.11Bn was released by end of the FY 2019/20. Out of the UGX 71.11Bn wage released, UGX 71.11Bn was spent by close of the FY 2019/20 representing 100% of budget/releases spent.

RECURRENT: NON-WAGE

Out of the approved budget amounting to UGX 27.347Bn, UGX 22.768Bn was released by end of the FY 19/20 representing 83.26% of the appropriated budget. Out of the cumulative release amounting to UGX 22.768Bn, UGX 22.764Bn was spent by the end of the FY 2019/20 representing 99.98% of the releases spent.

ROAD DEVELOPMENT- GOVERNMENT FINANCING 

For the FY19/20, a total of 1,744.55 Bn was approved for the Development GoU budget, out of which UGX 1,727.45 Bn (99.02%) was released. Out of the cumulative release of UGX 1,727.45 Bn, UNRA spent UGX 1,727.23 Bn by end of the FY representing 99.99% of the releases spent.

DEBT : UNRA closed the year with a debt of UGX 128.27billion on the GoU component.

EXTERNALLY FINANCED

A total of UGX 2,176.06Bn was appropriated for external financing under FY 2019/20 of which UGX 811.29 Bn was cumulatively released by end of FY representing 37.28% of the appropriation released. The budget included appropriations of UGX 1.1 trillion (50%) which could not be spent within the year:

UGX 717.5 billion was appropriated to the Critical Oil roads, yet MoFPED was still finalizing the negotiations with China Exim and approval by Parliament. The funds were not made available to UNRA by the end of the year;

UGX 325 billion was allocated by MoFPED and appropriated to Kampala-Jinja Expressway, a project which is still under preparation and is nowhere near contract implementation

This means that UNRA’s externally financed budget, excluding the two above misappropriations, was UGX 1 trillion, of which 43% was absorbed. Other reasons for the low absorption of the external financing component include:

• UGX 150 billion was allocated to projects under procurement, whose contracts were signed after the close of the FY;
• A few projects suffered slow progress due to the extended heavy rains and the lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic while NERAMP did not disburse (UGX 123 billion) due to the suspension of works to allow the contractor rectify the safeguards management on the project. 43% of the budget approved was absorbed by the end of the year.

According to the Annual Procurement Plan (APP), the total estimated procurement commitment for the FY 2019-20 was initially UGX 5.82 trillion comprising of about 383 procurements. Out of the total estimated procurement commitment, UGX 4.07 trillion represented ongoing procurements carried forward from FY 18/19 while UGX 1.75 trillion were planned to be initiated in the FY 2019/20.

During the year, the UNRA dropped 32 procurements estimated at UGX 324 billion and added new procurements (most notably the Tourism Roads) with a total commitment of UGX 915 billion on its plan. The final amended procurement plan commitment for the F/Y 2019/20 was therefore adjusted to a total of UGX 6.411trillion.

By the end of June 2020, the entity had signed contracts worth UGX 1,225,882,669,371 representing a performance of 19% of its Annual Procurement Plan (APP). The less than expected performance is due to four key factors namely:

ROAD DEVELOPMENT – UPGRADING TO PAVED BITUMINOUS

UNRA is currently upgrading 25 road projects (new construction and upgrading from paved bituminous standards) covering a total length of 1,701.8 Km. At the beginning of the year, these were at various stages of construction or physical progress. The incremental % increase in physical progress for all the projects was assessed to be equivalent to 310km as the total construction output within the FY.

This brings the total paved stock to 5,370km, which is 25.5% of the national road network. During the NDP II implementation period the average annual productivity rate increased by 107.8 Km per year, from 185.5 km per year during NDP I to 293.3 Km per year during NDPII. This noticeable improvement is due to efficient governance rendered by the board and the Executive Director MS Allen Kagina, as well as improved contract management.

COST OF PAVING ROADS

The average construction cost for upgrading roads to paved standard with bituminous surface treatment during the FY 2019/20 was UGX 3.41Bn per kilometre as compared to UGX 3.1Bn per kilometre in the previous year. This cost excludes the cost of land acquisition, which is shown in table 23 above. The average cost of reconstruction/rehabilitation of the paved roads was UGX 2.16Bn per kilometre as compared to UGX 1.8Bn per kilometre for the previous year.

During the reconstruction, the entity uses the opportunity to improve the geometry and structure of the existing roads, which makes the cost higher than it, would have been for only reinstating their serviceability.

The overall budget allocated to UNRA for 2019/20 FY was UGX UGX 4,289.07 Bn, out of which UGX 282.17 Bn was allocated to the Road Maintenance Programme. Road development still takes the biggest share of the budget, at 91% while road maintenance is at 7% of the total budget. This imbalance is resulting in unsustainable development of the network while the backlog maintenance is growing and will result in higher replacement costs of the road asset in future.

AXLE LOAD CONTROL:

The total number of vehicles weighed was 1,220,753 compared to 1,364,562 to last FY 2018/2019. The percentage of weighed vehicles that were overloaded increased from 3.1% in FY 2018/19, to 3.8% in the FY 2018/19. The increase in overloading was as a result of the closure of weighbridge stations due to the onset of the covid-9 pandemic in the country

UNRA will aim at weighing all vehicles along the 21,010 km stretch of the national road network in an attempt to keep the level of overloading along the national road network below 5%. UNRA will also ensure that weighbridges are up and running 90% of the time throughout 2020/21.

During 2020/21, UNRA endeavored to install five (5) multi-deck weighbridges at Mbale, Mubende, Kamdini, Kamengo and Magamaga, as well as three (3) high speed weigh in motion systems at Magamaga, Luwero and Mbarara.

FERRY SERVICES:

The Nine (09) ferries at Kiyindi, Mbulamuti, Masindi Port, Laropi, Obongi, Kyoga 1, Kyoga 2, Nakiwogo and Bisina were operational and registered 95% adherence to scheduled trips. Ferry utilization fell from 99% to 82 % due to the COVID-19 lockdown that put restrictions on private transport.

UNRA intend to effectively operate twelve (12) ferries namely Nakiwogo, Kiyindi, Mbulamuti, Bisina, Masindi, Kyoga – I, Kyoga – II, Albert Nile – 1, Laropi, Obongi, Amuru, and Sigulu. UNRA will also ensure a ferry service level of at least 70%. This will be a decline from the target of 90% in the 19/20 due to the rising water levels, which has necessitated that a number of landing sites have to be revamped during the year and this will cause major disruptions to the level of service.

In addition, UNRA continue to adhere to the Ministry of Health Standard Procedures and guidelines meant to combat the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, These guidelines such as social distancing will mean that UNRA ferries will operate at less than full capacity hence affecting the level of service.

We congratulate UNRA and its development partners as well as the Responsible Road Construction Companies for working towards social economic transformation of Uganda through attainment of Uganda Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
