The Project for Rural Road Network Planning in Northern Uganda

The Project for Rural Road Network Planning in Northern Uganda
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Northern Uganda, Uganda 2010

  • Northern Uganda has the highest proportion of population living in poverty. This is mainly attributed to a 20 year insurgency which ended in 2006 leaving much of the basic infrastructure deteriorated. To improve the lives of the people living in the area, a master plan of the rural road network was prepared.

SRDP provided the following services for this study:

  • Transfer technical skills in GIS and CADD to counterpart personnel
  • Development of a comprehensive database covering Acholi Sub-region in Northern Uganda featuring an updated road network database to support various analysis works for the study
  • Database and GIS support to the multidisciplinary team

Sample Outputs:
