Gulu USMID Road Project

Project Overview:

The Gulu USMID Road Project was part of the Uganda Support to Municipal Infrastructure Development (USMID) program, which was implemented by the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development. Funded by the World Bank-IDA through a USD 150 million loan, the program spanned five years from 2013 to 2018. This ambitious initiative aimed to enhance the institutional performance of 14 Municipal Councils, including Gulu, to improve urban service delivery.

Scope of Work:

Our scope of work in the Gulu USMID Road Project included comprehensive road construction and infrastructure improvements. This involved site preparation, road paving, drainage installation, and implementation of modern road safety features. By leveraging advanced construction techniques and materials, we aimed to deliver durable and efficient roads that met the highest quality standards.

Project Objectives:

The primary objective of the Gulu USMID Road Project was to improve urban access and service delivery by enhancing the infrastructure within Gulu Municipality. This project bettered transportation, reduced congestion, and supported economic growth, enabling improved access for goods and services.
