Uganda Investment Authority was tasked to develop 22 Industrial & Business Parks around the Country with an aim of creating more jobs, ease accessibility of land for investments, introduce new research, technologies and skills development as well as boost Uganda’s exports hence increasing Uganda’s revenue base.
The UIA Board in 2017 approved an additional 1 industrial park in Buliisa and 4 regional science and technology industrial parks making a total of 27 industrial parks in total.
The completion of these industrial parks will add value to locally available raw materials thus boosting the agricultural and mineral sectors. There are three Government-owned industrial parks within the Kampala-Mukono region. These include the Kampala Industrial and Business Park (KIBP), Namanve, Luzira Industrial and Bweyogerere Industrial Parks.
