In partnership with the World Bank, the Government of Uganda has earmarked 29 road chokes for construction to ease access to markets from high production centers to boost commercial agriculture for the smallholder farmers.

This exercise is being implemented under the Ministry’s Agriculture Cluster Development Project funded by the World Bank over a period of 6 years and implemented in 57 districts of Uganda.

Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony, Hon. Tumwebaze said that the 37.6KM of farm access roads that would be rehabilitated in Kamwenge District would cost Shs2,301,237,615/= only.

The roads are in Kamwenge (17.6km), Bwizi/Biguli (10km), Bwizi/Nkoma (5km) and Bihanga (5km) sub-counties

“These road chokes are government’s intervention to ensure that our farmers are not farming for the stomach and can be able to engage in trade and boost their household incomes as we have been saying under the Parish Development Model recently rolled out by the Government,” Hon. Tumwebaze said.

The 4 farm access roads are a part of the total of 29 farm access roads that will be constructed in 57 districts of Uganda where the Agriculture Cluster Development Project is currently hosted. These road chokes will cost a total of Shs32.1bn.

The District LCV Chairman, Mr Joseph Karungi, extended his gratitude to the Government of Uganda through Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries for the increased involvement of their stakeholders in the implementation of Government programs.

“The Contractor who has been introduced to us, Tamsack Development Link Uganda Ltd, is managed by one of our own and we can follow up for efficiency in the construction and completion of the road works,” Mr Karungi said.
