In 2018, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) embarked on the upgrade and reconstruction of city roads, targeting some of the most worn-out roads. These were done with financing from the World Bank under the Second Kampala Institutional and Infrastructure Development Project (KIIDP 2) and the African Development Bank under the Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP).
While residents and users of the roads welcome the completion of the roads, complaints of storm water and flash floods, as well as the government’s ability to keep the roads well-maintained, dent the appraisal of the projects. Kampala, being a hilly area, runaway water is an aspect that is or should be on the mind of any developer, whether of roads, buildings, or any construction.
