> UGANDA - Lake Albert Infrastructure Project

Modelled after InfraCo’s multi-sector rural infrastructure development approach established by the Kalangala Infrastructure Project, the Lake Albert Infrastructure Project is designed to provide access to reliable electricity supply, clean water and safe lake transport to rural villages. The project is located along the shores of Lake Albert in two districts with approximately 100,000 residents and will scale its customer base in the area over time. Despite being home to significant fish trading activity and commercially significant oil discoveries, the target communities currently have limited access to basic infrastructure.

Statement of project objectives

Primary economic benefits

Rural populations and commercial entities will have first-time access to gird based electricity supply and safe lake transport thereby augmenting commercial trading activity, improving efficiency and education. Local communities will be provided with clean water, contributing to the improvement of local health conditions and decreasing water collection time.
The project will provide needed assistance in the development and financing of rural infrastructure for the Government of Uganda.

Primary social benefits

The project will enhance local standard of living via such factors as improved productivity, health management, fishing techniques and commerce. Moreover, education, information access, and health and safety services will also benefit local livelihoods.
As the first replica of the Kalangala Infrastructure Project, using multi-sector infrastructure as a model to scale rural infrastructure development, the project intends to serve as another example of a rural infrastructure development solution for similar communities, thereby contributing to global poverty reduction goals.
