Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2aa2dcf5/african_infrastruc) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "African Infrastructure Tracker: Uganda's Infrastructure Sectors" to their offering.
Uganda's case is a common one in Africa with inadequate infrastructure holding back development and economic growth. The government and its development partners are aware of this restraint and are taking active steps to address this problem. In doing so Frost & Sullivan expects that a number of opportunities will arise. Thus, this research covers the various infrastructure sectors including transport, telecommunications, energy and power, water and sanitation and social infrastructure. In doing so Frost & Sullivan will assess the current situation and look into ways in which the infrastructure is improving and highlight ways in which the reader can take advantage of these improvements.
Market Overview:
Shoddily Maintained Infrastructure in Uganda Makes a Robust Case for Repair and Maintenance Projects
Inadequate power and poorly maintained roads have held back Uganda's growth by 3 per cent and hindered the country's ability to enhance trade relations. Currently, only 5 per cent of Uganda's population is connected to the national power grid, while only 15 per cent, or 7,300km of Uganda's 65,800km road network is covered in premix tarmac or surface dressing asphalt. The country's rail is in a state of disrepair and similarly, its housing developments are reeling under the effects of mismanagement. Sparse telecommunication infrastructure had compelled citizens to migrate to the mobile platform, while water and sanitation is available only in the urban centres, which hosts less than 15 per cent of the population. Poor implementation of measures and inconsistent investments to address maintenance, repair and construction issues has led to the decay of several government-managed subsectors. This deplorable state of infrastructure has even delayed the production of newly discovered oil resources in the Lake Albert region.
