Rehabilitation of Rural Feeder Roads in the Area-based Agricultural Modernization Programme (AAMP)
Project Description
Rehabilitation of over 810km of district feeder roads in the Area-based Agricultural Modernisation Programme (AAMP) districts of Uganda under the Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture (PMA). The project aimed at opening up rural agricultural hinterland to access markets for the produce. Some roads were merely narrow footpaths and their rehabilitation to class B or C Class had immediate positive socio-economic impact. Training of the district engineers’ staff for design, procurement and contract supervision was a major component of the project and emphasis on the management of labour based contracts.
