PROJECT SUMMARY Overview: The Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Programme (MATIP) is

designed to re-develop markets in 21 Municipalities and Town Councils in Uganda. This

intervention is based on the conclusions of a feasibility study that was commissioned by the

Government of Uganda (GOU) in March 2008, to review and assess the infrastructural and

operational state of the local markets across the country. The study concluded that the

markets are poorly managed, seriously dilapidated, overpopulated with vendors well beyond

their carrying capacities under poor working environment, nationwide. The Government then

approached the African Development Bank for support in reconstructing and modernizing

the markets. The Bank responded by approving a loan of UA 38.00 million to finance

MATIP-1 in 2009, which is currently at 85% level of implementation. It is expected to close

in 2015. MATIP-1 has assisted the Government to reconstruct 7 major markets in Kampala,

Jinja, Mbale, Gulu, Lira, Hoima, and Fort Portal. As resources were not adequate to

reconstruct all the markets identified, it was agreed that the project would be implemented as

a programme, expanding the project as funds become available.

Needs Assessment: MATIP-2 is therefore an expansion of MATIP -1 to reconstruct an

additional 11 of the remaining 14 markets. It will be implemented in 9 Municipal and 2

Town Councils respectively in all the four regions of Uganda, namely, Entebbe (Kitoro),

Masaka, Mbarara, Arua, Moroto (Lopedur), Soroti, Tororo, Kasese, Busia, Kitgum, and

Lugazi. The components of the project are i) Market Infrastructure Development, ii) Value

Addition and Trade Facilitation (including Capacity Building); and iii) Project Management

and Coordination. The project will be implemented over five years (2015-2020) and is

estimated to cost USD 93.73 million. The Bank will contribute USD 84.20 million (89.80%)

and the GoU USD 9.53 million (10.2%). The maintenance of the main infrastructure will be

financed by the Local Government at the beginning but will be ceded to the beneficiaries

over time. The primary beneficiaries will be the 16,951 current registered vendors whose

numbers are expected to rise by the time the project commences (at least 60% women) after

reconstruction of the markets. The indirect beneficiaries are estimated over 900,000

households within the catchment of the markets. Key impacts (tangible and non-tangible

benefits) include improved marketing conditions, value addition/processing and trading

capacity, increased volumes and sales of agricultural commodities and other merchandise,

increased employment and income, leading to improved livelihoods, enhanced quality of

produce, choice and availability all year round. The project will foster public private

partnership through a modernized management of the reconstructed markets between Vendor

Associations (VAs) and Market Management Committees (MMCs).

Bank’s added value: The project complements previous Bank interventions in Uganda,

especially the Area-based Agricultural Modernization Programme (AAMP), the Northwest

Smallholder Agricultural Development Project (NSADP) and the Community Agricultural

Infrastructure Improvement Projects – Project 1, 2 and 3 (CAIIP-I, CAIIP-II and CAIIP-III),

which mainly link the rural setting, with the larger urban markets. This would facilitate the

promotion of increased marketing/trading, cross-border trade and regional integration on a

wider scale. The Bank, through financing rural-based infrastructure initiatives, especially in

constructing agricultural-based markets, has carved a niche of linking primary rural markets

with secondary urban ones and strengthening the agriculture value chain in Uganda, thus

giving it a comparative advantage in this area. The vast experience accumulated through the

implementation of AAMP, NSADP and more recently CAIIP-I, CAIIP-2, CAIIP-3 and

Page 7: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

v

MATIP-1 will be an added-value with vertical integration, towards creating huge multiplier

effects for commercial agriculture in Uganda.

Knowledge Management: A number of further analytical studies/surveys are planned to

be undertaken by the project, with a view to generating information that will guide

stakeholders in decision making as project implementation progresses. The analytical work

will mainly focus on areas that were not adequately covered by the Feasibility Study,

especially in value addition and value chain analyses, linkages between the rural and urban

markets; and cross border trade. Moreover, the project will develop a Market Information

System (MIS) that will generate data pertaining to prices, sources and volumes of

commodities to be shared with all stakeholders. The knowledge gained through the

implementation of previous projects in Uganda has been duly applied in designing this

project. In the same pattern, the knowledge that will be generated by this Programme will be

instrumental in designing and managing similar projects in future. The results from various

studies under the project, notably, log frame baseline and impact assessment studies at

project inception and completion will provide valuable information and data to stakeholders

on how to further improve on project interventions and achieve the desired outcomes.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MANAGEMENT TO THE BOARD

OF DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED LOAN TO UGANDA FOR THE MARKETS

AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME: PROJECT – 2

(MATIP-2)

Management submits the following Report and Recommendation on a proposed loan for

USD 84.20 million (Eighty Four Million Two Hundred Ten Thousand, United States Dollars)

on ADB terms to finance the Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Project – 2

(MATIP-2) in Uganda.

I – STRATEGIC THRUST & RATIONALE

1.1. Project linkages with country strategy and objectives

1.1.1 The project is consistent with Uganda’s National Development Plan (NDP) 2010-2015,

which has been designated by GoU as the first of a series of six 5-year NDPs to translate the

country’s Vision 2040 into action. The NDP’s core objectives are to increase household

income; generate employment; develop the infrastructure; increase access to quality social

services; promote science and technology; and develop human capital. The Project is also

consistent with the Bank’s CSP (2011-2015) with its two pillars focusing on (i) the

development and rehabilitation of critical economic infrastructure and increased agricultural

productivity; and (ii) improving capacity skills development for poverty reduction, both of

which are well aligned to the NDP. MATIP-2 (see section 1.2) is identified by the CSP-MTR

as one of the key investment projects to be supported by the Bank under its first pillar

mentioned above. The CSP (2011 – 2015), for which MTR was concluded in December

2013, is also well aligned with the Bank’s Ten Year Strategy (2013-2022).

1.1.2 The Project’s activities, notably, re-construction of urban markets’ infrastructure and

promotion of value addition/agro-processing to enhance household incomes are also

consistent with the country’s Agricultural Sector Investment Plan (DSIP) 2010, the Rural

Development Strategy (RDS) of the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic

Development (MoFPED) which focuses on market access development for agricultural

produce, and the Local Government Sector Support Plan (LGSSP). The project activities will

also lend support to the Government’s plans for trade, agro-processing and marketing, which

encourages production for the export market. The project is also consistent with the

Government’s National Trade Policy of August 2008, which advocates for effective and

efficient institutions, a supportive legal framework, adequate and efficient trade facilitating

infrastructure; cross border trade and regional integration; and appropriate human capital and

skills in both the private and public sectors. The Government considers markets as public

goods and strategic components in its quest for poverty reduction and economic growth.

Consequent to the findings of the 2008 Feasibility Study, which found most of the country’s

market structures to be badly dilapidated, overwhelmed in terms of capacity and not well

managed, the Government felt it compelling to reconstruct the markets across the country, in

line with the felt needs of and requests from the users of the markets and the Local Councils.

1.1.3 Regionally, the project is consistent with Pillar 2 of the NEPAD’s Comprehensive

African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP), which focuses on improvement of

agricultural infrastructure and trade-related capacities for enhanced market access; and with

the Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty by 2015.

Page 12: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

1.1.4 The Project was originally programmed to be financed under the ADF 13 window. Due

to reduced ADF allocations to Uganda and the high importance the Government attaches to

the re-development of these markets, the Government has requested the Bank to provide

financing for the Project under ADB terms. The Government of Uganda is committed to

operationalising its National Development Plan (NDP) but remains with the challenges of

fully financing all activities using the limited budgetary resources available. The budget

allocation to the sector remains low at about 4% of the total budget. The Government will co-

finance the Project up to 10.2% of the total Project costs. This contribution is in addition of

provision of 18% in taxes for all the works and goods, in kind contributions in form salaries

for government staff assigned to Project both at national and municipal levels, and the

required office spaces.

1.2. Rationale for Bank’s involvement

1.2.1 The Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Programme is designed to re-develop

markets in 21 Municipalities and Town Councils as rolling projects. In March 2008, the

Government of Uganda (GOU) commissioned a feasibility study to review and assess the

infrastructural and operational state of the local markets across the country. The study

concluded that the markets are poorly managed, seriously dilapidated, overpopulated with

vendors well beyond their carrying capacities under poor working environment, nationwide.

They were all lacking in many basic amenities including toilets, drainage and sewage

systems. Armed with the results of the study, the Government of Uganda approached the

African Development Bank for support in reconstructing and modernizing the markets. The

Bank responded by approving a loan of UA 38.00 million to finance MATIP-1 in 2009,

which is currently at 85% level of implementation. It is expected to close in 2015.

1.2.2 MATIP-1, which will close in 2015, has assisted the Government to reconstruct 7 major

markets in Kampala, Jinja, Mbale, Gulu, Lira, Hoima, and Fort Portal. As resources were not

adequate to reconstruct all the markets identified, it was agreed that the project will be

implemented as a programme, expanding the projects as funds become available. MATIP-2 is

planned to reconstruct 11 of the remaining markets. The Bank has accumulated valuable

experiences under MATIP-1 and has also vast experience through the implementation of

other market infrastructure projects, predominantly in the rural setting, including the Area-

Based Agricultural Modernization Programme (AAMP) completed in 2009, Northwest

Smallholder Agricultural Development Project (NSADP) completed also in 2009 and more

recently the Community Agricultural Infrastructure Improvement Project I, II & III (CAIIP-1,

CAIIP - 2 and CAIIP-3) under implementation; with considerable impact on the livelihoods

of the beneficiary communities and the economy as a whole.

1.2.3 Linking rural markets with the urban areas is an important step towards creating

synergies, value addition and gainful employment. The rural roads infrastructure that has

been developed under various DP projects, including the ADB, will facilitate the supply

chain. The reconstructed markets will improve hygiene conditions, reduce post-harvest

losses, install facilities to meet demand, for example cold storage units for fish storage,

provide increased trade opportunities between rural and urban areas, and serve as wholesaling

centres for intra-urban and cross-border trade, especially for agricultural commodities that

constitute 50% to 70% of products traded in the target markets. Further, about 80% of women

in Uganda are engaged in agriculture production and trading activities. Access to markets is a

primary constraint to increasing their income and improving their livelihoods. The overall

objective of this intervention is to ensure the smooth functioning and efficiency of the

Page 13: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

3

agricultural marketing system for a wide range of commodities produced in rural areas and

sold in the local markets, in region and globally.

1.2.4 The project is also in line with the Bank’s focus on financing capital intensive hardware

infrastructure related development activities, while other donor agencies undertake the

software services. It also fits well with the Bank’s overall Ten Year Strategy for 2013-2022

and the Bank’s Agricultural Sector Strategy (under revision). Furthermore, MATIP fits well

within the Bank’s Framework for Reduction of Post-Harvest Losses in Africa (PHLP -2010-

2014), also under revision.

1.2.5 Due to line-up of priority projects for ADF Window, the Uganda Government

communicated to the Bank that the Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Project-

phase II cannot be taken up in 2014 and instead expressed its desire to use ADB window. In

May 2014 the Bank approved a credit policy to grant ADF countries access to the ADB

sovereign window under a specific set of criteria. A Special Risk Note (SRN) to analyse the

fulfilment of the criteria spelt out in the new credit policy (Paragraph 13) to determine

Uganda’s eligibility has just been concluded. Management concluded that Uganda fulfilled

the conditions set by the aforementioned policy document, and should be granted access to

ADB sovereign window to finance public projects in the areas of energy, transport,

agriculture and water.

1.3.1 The Bank is one of the major Development Partners (DPs) in Uganda, providing about

33.1% of development assistance in the agriculture and rural development sector. The Bank

collaborates closely with the other Development Partners, especially the World Bank, IFAD,

USAID, JICA, and the EU for agricultural related projects, within the framework of the

Page 14: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

4

Agriculture and Rural Development Donor Coordination Group. The Group has been greatly

invigorated through the Bank’s field presence. In an effort to harmonize Development Partner

intervention, the Bank has partnered with the other DPs under the umbrella of the

Agricultural Sector Development Partners Group (ASDPG) to undertake development

interventions in the choice of sub-sectors and activities where it has a comparative advantage.

The ASDPG is currently chaired by Danida. The Group is well informed about the project

through consultations with the Bank Teams both at preparation and appraisal missions. The

Uganda Field Office is an active member of this group, which relates with the overall Heads

of Missions Local Development Partners Group (LDPG), currently chaired and coordinated

by the World Bank.

II – PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.3 Technical solution retained and other alternatives explored

2.3.1 The selected technical design for the proposed project reflects critical success factors

that contribute towards efficient functioning market. These include: (i) providing a safe and

secure place to conduct trade; (ii) ensuring an environmentally sustainable market is in place;

(iii) allow for commercial exchange of produce and encourage social interaction amongst the

communities; (iv) incorporate efficient management practices and (v) creating adequate space

functionality that is commensurate with the growth rate of the markets; and accessibility by

both buyers and sellers. The following are the alternatives considered but rejected for the

reasons stated below.

Table 2.2: Project alternatives considered and reasons for rejection

Alternative Brief description Reasons for rejection

Alternative 1 All Markets – to have

uniformly designed

structures across the

country as opposed to

site specific designs

Budgetary Constraints as designs proved to

require high initial capital investment;

Diversity of the Municipal and Town Councils in terms of

site layouts, populations size, number of vendors and

degree of economic activity

Alternative 2 Ground level buildings

instead of two story

building

Due to limitations of land in city/town councils it was

necessary to optimize maximize use of land by adopting a

multi-storey building.

Alternative 3 Livestock-related

infrastructure

development

Due to investment in milk collection centres from previous

projects and the presence of private sector, the project did

not consider investment in collection facilities to avoid

facilities that would not be used. Similarly, due to

environmental consideration, investment in abattoirs was

not considered.

2.4 Project type

2.4.1 This investment project which is part of MATIP Programme is financed with an ADB

loan to support construction of the identified eleven markets and the development of value

Page 16: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

chain on grain based commodities to add value at the market with backward integration to

production.

2.5 Project cost and financing

2.5.1 Project Costs: The total cost of the project is estimated at USD 93.73 million, net of

taxes and based on 2014 prices, comprising USD 53.01 million or 56.55% in local costs and

USD 40.72 million or 43.45% of the total cost in foreign cost. This cost is inclusive of

physical and price contingencies estimated at average rates of 8% respectively. The price

contingencies were estimated on the basis of actual and projected levels of local and foreign

inflation rates of about 6.8-4.9% and 2.2% per annum, respectively. The physical

contingencies are estimated from 0 to 10%. All project costs are exclusive of taxes, and

therefore Government should provide budget allocation for VAT in each financial year in

addition to the 10.2% Government contribution. A summary of project cost estimates by

components, expenditure categories, and schedule are presented in Tables 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5

below, while details are provided in the Technical Annexes – Volume II of the appraisal

report.

2.5.2 Project Financing Arrangement: ADB loan will finance 100% of market infrastructure

(Component 1) and the value addition and Market Facilitation activities (component 2). The

Government will finance capacity building activities related to Value Chain and Trade,

salaries at the local government level (Municipal and town councils), External Audit

processes, and, compliance certification by NEMA. The Government of Uganda will also

finance some recurrent costs of the project facilitation unit housed in the Ministry Local

Government, as well as maintenance of major infrastructure at the beginning of the project.

The beneficiaries will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of value addition

processing equipment first level units provided by the project in Busia, Arua and Soroti,

second level units in Busia and Arua Markets according to the conditions that will be agreed

between the Government and the operators. The breakdown of financing for the project is

presented in the Table 2.6.

2.5.3 Counterpart Funds: The contribution of the Government will comprise of 10.2% (USD

9.53 million) and 18% in taxes for all the works and goods under ADB resources amounting

to USD15.16 million. Hence the overall government contribution to the project is USD24.69

million, representing 26.34% of the total cost of project.

2.5.4 The Government of Uganda has been very committed to the implementation of its

National Development Plan (NDP1) 2010 – 2015. The second National Development Plan

(NDP11) for the period 2016 – 2020 currently under consideration is expected to be approved

by June 2015. A significant number of its supporting operations are funded by the Bank with

total commitments of UA 689.15 million (Appendix 2). The GoU is already contributing UA

264.40 million in counterpart funds, in addition to taxes, compensations and rights of way.

Additionally, government overall budget for FY 2014/15 amounts to USD5.5 billion; of

which 21.2% is devoted to works, transport and agriculture. The debt level has increased to a

Nominal Debt to GDP Ratio of 29.9% on account of large infrastructure projects; but

Uganda’s Debt Service to Revenue of 9.1% remains sound.

2.6 Project’s target area and population

2.6.1 Eleven (11) markets will be reconstructed in the following Municipal Councils:

Mbarara, Masaka, Kasese, Arua, Soroti, Busia, Moroto Tororo, Entebbe, and the Town

Councils of Kitgum, and Lugazi. The 18 markets to be covered under MATIP-1 and MATIP-

2 were chosen based on the level of trading activity, potential for private-public partnership

in agribusiness and value addition, potential to boost cross-border and regional trade with

neighbouring countries, scope for expansion, environmental issues, readiness of temporary

relocation arrangements/agreements and support from Councils. It is estimated that over

900,000 households (approximately 4.5 million people) within the catchment of the markets

will benefit directly or indirectly from the project. According to the Socio-Economic Gender

Disaggregated Profile conducted by the Project Feasibility Study, about 150,000 households

will be headed by women. The project will also have positive multiplier effects for rural

farmers through increased demand for their produce, and therefore increased farm gate prices.

2.7 Participatory process for project identification, design and implementation

2.7.1 The formulation of the project was largely participatory, with the relevant stakeholders

fully involved in the process of project identification through to its design. The preparation of

the Government Feasibility Study involved a rigorous participatory approach, whereby the

relevant stakeholders, particularly Authorities of the respective Municipal/Town Councils

and the directly affected market vendors, were fully consulted. Likewise, at preparation and

appraisal phases, the Bank team visited 7 of the 11 MATIP-2 beneficiary Councils, in the

process of which it interacted with the Central and Local Government Authorities

(Municipal/Town Councils), vendors and their associations; private sector agencies,

including market Leasers; development partners and other relevant Government agencies.

The preparation team also held consultative meeting with critical stakeholders on appropriate

value addition activities that could be accommodated in the markets and their management

arrangements.

2.7.2 The objective of the consultations was to reconfirm the effective demand of the

markets, the appropriate designs per area, confirmation of the proposed market management

modalities, the willingness to pay for the market services and confirmation of the

arrangements for movement of vendors to temporary sites and their reinstatement to the new

Page 19: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

9

markets. During consultations, more focus was given to women vendors in terms of their

special requirements, as they constitute about 70% of the vendors. All stakeholders welcomed

the project and expressed their readiness to cooperate to ensure its successful implementation.

2.8 Bank Group experience, lessons reflected in project design

2.8.1 The first Project under the MATIP programme is on-going with all works about 90%

completed. To date, five out of seven markets have been completed and handed over to the

beneficiaries, improving the business environment of vendors. The lessons from MATIP-1

include: (i) overrun of contract duration of the markets where a realistic time frame will be

allocated at the tendering stage; and (ii) lack of clarity in the allocation of public services

such as banking space, pharmacy, day care centre, car parking, etc. which the present design

has accommodated. These services will belong to the Urban Authorities but will be

competitively leased out to private operators.

2.8.2 Further, the Bank has considerable experience in implementing rural market

infrastructure projects in Uganda, including the Area-based Agricultural Modernization

Programme (AAMP) and the Northwest Smallholder Agricultural Development Project

(NSADP), and the Community Agricultural Infrastructure Improvement Programme –

Projects (CAIIP 1, 2, and 3). To start with, implementation of these projects has (i) enhanced

agricultural commodity trade, including linkages between rural and urban markets as well as

improvement of the commodity value chain; (ii) improved design of markets to address

accessibility and security concerns of female traders; (iii) improved integration of the VAs,

and enhanced participation of the private sector, in the management and operation and

maintenance of the markets. MATIP 2 would benefit from the implementation of MATIP-1

from improvements in the flow, justification, and consequent replenishment of the Special

Account (SA); and (ii) improvements in construction work ensuring enhanced capacity of the

local contractors. Additional lessons learned from the World Bank funded Market

Infrastructure Development Project include the need: i) for appropriate layout and designs

suited for different localities; ii) to ensure Government contribution without the need for

extra-budgetary allocation; and iii) the need for a strong M&E system with baseline data.

2.9 Key performance indicators

2.9.1 Key project performance indicators are based on standardized core sector indicators

developed by the Bank. Baselines and targets have been established. Outcome indicators will

be: (i) Improved marketing conditions and opportunities for farmers and vendors; (ii) Quality

for major crops maize, groundnut and beans improved; and (iii) Improved income to vendors

and Councils. The Output indicators will include: (i) Designs for the 11 markets reviewed

and redeveloped; (ii) 15 first level value addition equipment installed; (iii) 30% women

represented in market management committees; (iii) 2 high level pilot processing plants

installed; (iv) 20,000 vendors trained in Entrepreneurship (70% women); (v) 20,000 vendors

trained in Business Development (70% women); (vi) 20,000 vendors trained in Gender and

Leadership (70% women); (vii) 20,000 SMEs trained on standards and 5,000 people trained

on health related issues (majority women); (viii) 20 CAIIP Agro-processing facilities linked

to the markets.

III – PROJECT FEASIBILITY

3.1 Economic and financial performance

3.1.1 A financial assessment of the programme was undertaken using cost-benefit analysis

of ex-ante activity models, and on the basis of prevailing 2014 market prices. The key

assumptions underlying the analyses include: (i) successful Program implementation will

generate benefits in the areas of agro-processing, agro-industries, and related activities (agro

dealers, machinery rental services, artisans and equipment fabricators), as well as other

important benefits but difficult to quantify such as health, education, public works; (ii) a 25-

year time period was used; (iii) the opportunity cost of capital (OCC) was estimated to be

12%. A Standard Conversion Factor (SCF) of 0.9 has been used to generate economic prices.

Summary of financial and economic analysis is in Annex VII and further elaborated in Annex

B6 in Volume II of the appraisal report.

3.1.2 Financial analysis: The financial analysis, based on the above assumptions, yielded a

combined net financial impact of UGX 218 042.81 million Net Present Value (NPV) with an

internal rate of return (IRR) of 20%. Thus, the project is financially feasible.

Table 3.1: Principal Economic and Financial Results

NPV (base scenario) UGX 218 042.80 million

IRR (base scenario) 20 %

ERR (base scenario) 26 %

3.1.3 Economic analysis: The economic analysis, based on the above assumptions yielded a

combined net present value (NPV) of UGX 237 539.91 million for a 25-year economic

period and an economic rate of return (ERR) of 26%.

3.1.4 Sensitivity analysis: The results of financial and economic analyses are quite robust in

the event of successive increase in project costs. As shown in the Technical Annex B6,

project cost increases by 10, 15, 20, 25% would reduce the ERR by 5%, 8%, 10% and 12%

respectively. An increase in project costs by 20% (switching values) would have to occur

before the Project benefits reduces to break-even point at 12%, the opportunity cost of

capital.

3.1.5 The financial and economic results show that MATIP 2 is financially and

economically viable as it enhances agricultural value chain incomes, competitiveness and

wealth creation (jobs creation, increase in income, food and nutritional security). The detailed

financial and economic performance analyses of the Project are presented in Annex B7 in

Volume II of the appraisal report.

3.2 Environmental and Social impacts

3.2.1 Environment: According to Bank’s environmental regulations, the proposed Project

falls under Category 2 i.e. projects for which induced negative impacts’ mitigation measures

have been identified and incorporated in the project design. Therefore, a detailed

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will not be required, as no irreversible

environmental effects were identified, and as such only an Environmental and Social

Management Plan (ESMP) is prepared. The Environmental and Social Management Plan

Page 21: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

11

(ESMP) for the 11 markets were carried out in 2010/2011; and were reviewed during

MATIP-2 project appraisal to align them with the current realities.

3.2.2 The project will abide by all environmental regulations as stipulated in the Uganda

National Environment Act, CAP 153 and Public Health and Sanitation Act. Accordingly,

necessary mitigation measures have been incorporated in the initial planning and design

stages of the proposed project. The implementation of the proposed project will have both

positive and negative environmental impacts in the selected markets. Some of the positive

impacts will include: (i) improved trading environment in a well and nicely constructed

trading structures; (ii) improved working environment through improved drainage systems

and improved waste management systems; (iii) reduced congestion in the markets hence

mitigating the risks of contracting diseases. The negative impacts include: (i) environmental

degradation in the relocation sites due to sudden increase in population; (ii) excavation and

demolition activities that could result in increase in construction debris; (iii) air and noise

pollution; (iv) loss of business as a result of unwillingness by the customers to go to new sites

(See Technical Annex B7 for details).

Social:

3.2.3 Gender: The project will support gender capacity building activities for MATIP-2

stakeholders as discussed in Technical Annex B7.4. Ugandan women comprise 51% of the

population and about 33% of rural households are female headed. Women play a vital role in

ensuring household food and nutritional security. However their autonomy as food producers

is usually affected by their limited ownership and access to land, financial services, extension

services and markets, plus cultural and social barriers that hinder their full participation in

agricultural and other economic activities. In general, the decision to grow most crops is

taken by both husband and wife, but women tend to make more decisions on food crops

whilst men predominate in decision making on cash crops. Fortunately, although Uganda has

been ranked poorly at number 161 out of 187 in gender inequality index in the world, it is one

of the countries that have shown rapid progress in the human development index, according

to the UNDP Human Development Report of 2013, indicating that more and more women

just like their men counterparts are progressively getting empowered and subsequently

engaged in economic development, a factor that will be accelerated by the MATIP-2 Project

whose majority beneficiaries (about 60%) are women. It is also important to note that Uganda

has political will at the highest level of government to address gender inequality backed up

by legal instruments such as the National Gender Policy, Employment Act, Equal

Opportunity Act, and others. Consequently, MATIP - 2 will focus on recognising the role of

women in marketing, food and nutrition security, reducing inequality, participation of women

in decision making, representation of women in management committees of the markets and

other development activities. The project will support, at least 30% involvement of women in

management of markets and value addition infrastructure as part of gender empowerment.

3.2.4 The Project will employ a gender sensitive approach in order to maximise participation

of women in the project as well as their productivity at household levels Such gender

sensitive economic activities include formation of women groups among market vendors to

advocate for better women marketing activities, community-level value addition to empower

local communities where the majority beneficiaries are women, and in crop processing value

addition and preservation technologies. Special training material for women will be

elaborated and the training oriented towards the specific needs such as business

development, entrepreneurship, SMEs engagement, HIV/AIDS education and awareness, etc.

Page 22: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

12

which, sometimes can only be reached through separate courses for men and women. More

than 50% of the beneficiaries of such trainings will be women because women comprise

about 60% of the vendors.

3.2.5 Most of the women are in child-bearing age category and therefore special facilities

have been designed such as day care units for children to cater for the special needs of

women. The day care facilities will also act as starting points for formal learning. In addition

special sanitary facilities, including space for changing of clothes and bathing have been

included in the design of the markets to positively improve the welfare of women vendors.

The Project will establish gender monitoring and progress tracking system. The gender audit

will be part of the beneficiary impact assessment which will be carried out in PY3 to access

the progress made in achieving women and youth participation.

3.2.6 Youth: In addition, the youths are strongly disadvantaged in the competition for jobs

in the formal economy since they lack skills, work experience and have no (or have only

limited) social networks compared to the older people. The young people also comprise

greater proportion in the population of Uganda. Young people will thus be engaged (and

should be given priority) in the value chain activities at the markets. To enhance their skills,

training for skill enhancement will be oriented towards those persons directly involved in

value chain activities.

3.2.7 HIV/AIDS: The construction area is within the city/town councils and does not

necessarily envisage creation of construction camp for workers. Those notwithstanding, HIV

and AIDS continue to be a major public health and socio-economic challenge adversely

affecting all the sectors of the Ugandan economy. The 2011 Uganda Aids Indicator Survey

(UAIS) indicates that 7.3% of Ugandans aged 15-49 are infected with HIV. HIV prevalence

is higher among women (8.3%) than among men (6.1%), and higher in urban (10.7%) women

than among women in rural areas (7.7%). Overall, 3.7% of young women and men age 15-24

are HIV-positive. The country HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Bill, 2009 requires

HIV and AIDs education in all the work places. The project will thus include a HIV/AIDS

prevention programmes with more focus on women and youths in order to reduce the high

infection rates among these groups. In this regard, the project will provide a series of

trainings on health related issues for the various stakeholders of the markets.

3.2.8 Involuntary resettlement: There will be no involuntary resettlement as a result of the

project. However, since the construction of the new market structures will be undertaken on

the current market sites, vendors will be moved to temporary sites for a period of

approximately 1-1.5 years to give way for the construction. Approximately 700 to 2000

vendors per market will be provided with alternative temporary sites to enable them continue

operating in the course of construction of the new structures. The temporary relocation does

not require a resettlement plan since the vendors are the direct beneficiaries of the market

improvement programme, and the cost of the movement will be borne by the Government.

The temporary sites will be provided with minimum amenities, including water and

electricity to enable the continuation of the marketing activities with minimum disruption.

The vendors will be moved systematically with assurance of no loss of assets or livelihood.

3.2.9 In almost all project sites, vendors expressed their willingness to move to temporary

sites during reconstruction of the markets, on condition that the incumbent vendors get first

priority during reinstatement to the new markets. It was therefore agreed that Memoranda of

Understanding (MOUs) would be signed between the individual Vendors and the respective

Municipal/Town Councils on the modalities of movement and reinstatement. During these

Page 23: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

consultations, except for undue political grand-standing, vendors expressed satisfaction with

the manner in which relocation, registration, and certification was undertaken under the on-

going MATIP-1.

IV – IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 Implementation arrangements

4.1.1 The Project will be implemented through an existing Project Facilitation Team (PFT) in

the Ministry of Local Government, which will be the Executing Agency. The PFT which

comprises of the project coordinator, financial management specialist, rural infrastructure

advisor, 5 infrastructure engineers, M&E specialist, Agro-industry specialist, rural energy

expert, two accountants, two community development officers and support staff is already

implementing a number of Bank-funded Projects, including CAIIP-1, CAIIP-2, MATIP-1,

and CAIIP-3. It should be noted that CAIIP-1 and CAIIP-2 will close by the end of 2014 just

before activities of MATIP-2 commence while MATIP-1 will close in September 2015. The

Head of the PFT will be the overall coordinator of the Project assisted by the current staff

contingent. The PFT will be responsible for the executions of all project activities, including

preparation and submission of all procurement documents to the Bank for review and

approval, ensure that Project activities are initiated and are adequately budgeted for,

consolidate Project records, compile and submit all disbursement applications and quarterly

progress reports; undertake annual audits of all Project accounts and submit the audit reports

to the Bank. Implementation of Project activities at the Municipal/Town Council level will be

carried out through the established structures under the office of the Town Clerk with the

coordination and guidance of the PFT. Each Municipal/Town Council will designate a

Project Support Officer (PSO) among its staff, who will coordinate implementation and

technical supervision of the Project, including sensitization of vendors, training, and

monitoring and evaluation in the respective local governments.

4.1.2 The project has been designed to be implemented over a period of five years. The technical

design is to be reviewed and finalized by the end of the second quarter of PY1. The first year of

project implementation will be focused mainly on the relocation of vendors and sensitization of

the vendors and communities in participatory approaches. The PFT has the necessary staff and

ready to implement the project. The bulk of project activities will take place in PY 2 to 4 in order

to ensure that identified activities can be implemented before project closure.

4.1.3 Procurement Arrangements: All procurement of works under ICB (International

Competitive Bidding) and acquisition of consulting services will be carried out in accordance

with the Bank’s “Rules and Procedures for Procurement of Goods and Works”, dated May

2008 as amended from time to time and “Rules and Procedures for the Use of Consultants”

dated May 2008 as amended from time to time, using the relevant Bank Standard Bidding

Documents and provisions stipulated in the Legal Agreement. The Ministry shall prepare a

Procurement Plan and submit it to the Bank for review and approval before negotiations of

the Legal Agreement. The summary of the procurement arrangements is attached as

Appendix V and the detailed procurement arrangements are explained in Technical Annex

B5.

4.1.4 The Ministry of Local Government has a Procurement and Disposal Unit (PDU) staffed

with six procurement officers headed by a Principal Procurement Officer. The PDU is

responsible for procurement across the Ministry including all procurements for Bank

Page 24: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

14

financed projects being implemented by the existing PFT. Working with the PFT has enabled

the procurement staff gain experience in procurement for donor funded projects. A contracts

committee is in place and functional. The procurement workload at the ministry is not much

and the current structure of the PDU is satisfactory for implementation of the Bank financed

operation. Based on the assessment carried out, procurement risk is low. In order to ensure

timely implementation of the project, advance contracting for selection of consultants for

design review and construction supervision of the markets and for procurement of civil works

will be used.

4.1.5 Civil Works: Procurement of all civil works above USD 4.5 million per contract will

be carried out under International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedures without

prequalification, using the Bank’s Standard Bidding Documents (SBD). Works procured

under this method would include construction of 11 markets valued at USD 69.80 Million

spread throughout the country and each market would constitute a lot. Works valued at less

than USD 4.5 million will be procured under National Competitive Bidding (NCB). Works

procured under this method will include shelters for other agro-processing equipment.

4.1.6 Goods: Procurement of contracts for goods above USD 450,000 per contract will be

carried out under International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedures, using the Bank’s

Standard Bidding Documents (SBDs). Goods procured under this method, would include

value addition processing equipment. Contracts for other agro processing equipment all

valued at USD 420,000 will be procured under the Bank’s National Competitive Bidding

procedures. Contracts for goods valued at below USD 150,000 per contract will be procured

through shopping. Goods procured under this method would include two vehicles and office

equipment.

4.1.7 Consulting Services and Training: These comprise consultancy services for design

review and construction supervision; studies (baseline, monitoring and evaluation and

environmental studies); and financial audit. Contracts for consulting services for design

review and construction supervision of the markets valued at USD 10.57 million to be

packaged into 11 assignments will be done using an international shortlist under Quality and

Cost Based Selection (QCBS). Contracts for consulting services for five (5) studies totalling

USD 0.68 million will be procured under Quality and Cost Based Selection, and Selection

Based on Consultant’s Qualification where appropriate. Financial audit services will be

undertaken by the Government Auditor General.

4.1.8 Training of selected district staff valued at USD 0.75 million; seminars and

workshops for beneficiaries, local communities targeting farmers groups, women groups and

Parish Development Committees and other stake holders valued at USD 3.42 million will be

procured through the existing applicable government manual of procedures for training.

Capacity building of district officers will be conducted to strengthen their capacity for

working in partnership with local communities and managing infrastructure developed under

the project and to establish necessary structures that ensure maintenance and sustainability of

the investments.

4.1.9 Miscellaneous Expenses: Personnel costs valued at USD 2.57 million and operating

costs valued at USD 3.29 million shall be undertaken using the applicable government

manual of procedures.

Page 25: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

4.1.10 Financial Management: The Financial Management (FM) capacity of the MoLG is

adequate for the implementation of the project. The MoLG has proper financial structures in

place as well as adequate staff to carry out the FM responsibilities of the project. It is already

implementing four similar Bank projects. The PFT’s Financial Management specialist (FMS)

will be in charge of the day to day financial management operations of the project guided by

the existing Project’s operations manual which is in line with the MoLG’s financial policies

and procedures.

4.1.11 The MoLG uses the Government of Uganda’s (GoU’s) Integrated Financial

Management Information System (IFMIS) for capturing financial transactions. It has been

agreed that the project will fully use the IFMIS, for all payments and reporting.

4.1.12 The FM management processes will follow the MoLG’s (GoU’s) annual budgeting

cycle which starts in July and ends in June. These procedures are stipulated in the financial

policies and procedures as documented in the operation’s manual. The annual project

financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the International Public Accounting

Standards (IPSAs) cash basis annually by 30th

September. The annual financial statements

should include: (i) a Balance sheet that shows assets and liabilities; (ii) a statement of

Receipts and Expenditures showing separately Bank’s funding, those of counterpart, and cash

balances; (iii) Statement of Special Accounts, in both Uganda Shillings and U.S. Dollar

accounts and (iv) Notes to the Financial Statements describing the applicable accounting

principles in place and a detailed analysis of the main accounts. In addition, the Project will

provide an update on financial performance of the project as part of the Quarterly Progress

report (QPR) as required by the Bank not later than 45 days after the end of the Quarter.

4.1.13 Financial Reporting and Audit: The project financial statements will be audited by

Uganda’s Auditor General using the Bank’s audit terms of reference. The audited project

financial statements will be submitted to the Bank within six months after the close of the

fiscal year. At the project mid-term or any other time as deemed necessary, a value for

money Audit will be carried out by the Auditor General or his appointee, using Terms of

Reference agreed between the Bank and Government. In addition, the MoLG Internal audit

department provides internal audit services to all projects which serve as pre audits mainly

for civil works certificates. These services will be available to the project.

4.1.14 Disbursement Arrangement: Three Bank’s disbursement methods: Special Account

(SA), the Direct Payment and Reimbursement methods will be available for use by the

project. The MoLG will open both a Local Currency Account (LCA) and a SA in foreign

currency at the Bank of Uganda (BoU) into which part of the loan resources will be

deposited. Funds will be transferred from the SA to the LCA as and when required to finance

project activities. The financial management and procurement capacity of the MoLG has

been assessed to be adequate. Most of the disbursement will be through Direct Payment and

very little through the SA (see Table of Loan proceeds allocation in Appendix IV).

4.2 Monitoring and Evaluation

4.2.1 Monitoring would be an integral part of project management activities. A

comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system for the Programme was established during

MATIP-1 and the same system will be used for MATIP-2. In using the performance

indicators and targets specified in the Results based Logical Framework (RBLF), project

implementers tracking progress towards project results are expected to take special note of

Page 26: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

16

changes that reflect advancement towards the translation of outputs into development

outcomes. In developing monitoring and planning indicators, they would be disaggregated

along gender lines. The Monitoring and Evaluation unit of PFT will be responsible for the

overall monitoring and evaluation of Project activities on behalf of the Ministry of Local

Government. A gender sensitive baseline study will be undertaken in PY1 which will be

followed up with annual gender sensitive surveys to assess performance and impact of project

activities. The PFT M&E specialist will be responsible for compiling the gender sensitive

quarterly and annual progress reports. The Bank will conduct regular follow-ups, review and

supervision missions to closely monitor project implementation. The latter will be undertaken

twice a year given the national coverage of the project. Resources have been provided for the

M&E schedule.

4.3 Governance

4.3.1 International assessments show that Uganda has progressed its accountability and

transparency ratings and indicators of Governance including corruption control, rule of law,

regulatory quality and Government effectiveness. The 2013 Ibrahim Index of African

Governance (IIAG) ranked Uganda 18th out of 52 African countries. The 2013 IIAG

provided Uganda’s performance across four categories of governance namely (a) Safety &

Rule of Law (27th out of 52), (b) National Security (77.9 out of 100), (c) Gender (7th out of

52), and (d) Human Development (20th out of 52). Uganda’s average score was 56 out of 100

which was higher than the continental average of 51.6. The 2012 World Bank Institute’s

Worldwide Governance Indicators rated Uganda as follows (0=low and 1=high): (a) voice

and accountability = 0.34; (b) political stability and absence of violence = 0.19; (c)

Government effectiveness = 0.33; (d) regulatory quality = 0.44; (e) rule of law = 0.45; and (f)

control of corruption = 0.18. The proposed measures in terms of project implementation

include: (i) provision of financial management manual to guide Project staff; (ii) utilization of

internal audit to identify pre-audit transaction challenges; (iii) regular submission of progress

reports, and (iv) training of the PFT staff in fiduciary services.

4.4 Sustainability

4.4.1 The participatory approach adopted during the project design and envisioned to be

extended during the implementation phase will enhance the ownership of project’s activities

and realizations by the main stakeholders ensuring its sustainability. This will be fostered by

the capacity building for the Ministry of Local Government staff and vendors’ associations

in the delivery of related services. The implementation of some project’s activities and the

management/maintenance of infrastructures built, especially the value addition facilities, will

be handed over to private sector operators in a public-private partnership arrangement, to

ensure sustainability. The private sector entity would be competitively recruited. The

development of value chains will enhance the development of PPP and the evolution of the

whole production chain towards a market oriented system.

4.4.2 As regards the management of the markets themselves, they will be operated and

managed by the existing vendors’ associations and the project will ensure that at least 30% of

women are represented in the market management committees. Management guidelines will

be developed by the supervising consultant for the operation and maintenance of the markets

to ensure the participation of the beneficiaries, as the Councils gradually devolve the

ownership of the structures to the vendors’ associations/market management committees

(MMCs), thus fostering PPP. The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the markets would

Page 27: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

17

be undertaken collaboratively between the Councils and the MMCs. The cost of routine

maintenance after handing over (in PY3, PY4 and PY5) would be borne by the Municipal

Councils/ Town Councils and MMCs as per the agreed terms in the memorandum of

understanding (MOU) to be signed between the two parties. To facilitate this, all the vendors

and other users of the facilities would pay rent to the Municipalities/Councils out of which

the Councils would allocate a minimum of 15% for the purpose. The money will be deposited

in a dedicated account, for which both the VA/MMCs and Councils, will be co-signatories.

The remaining balance to cover the O&M cost shall be covered from the contribution of

vendors. The running cost of any equipment provided for under the Project would be borne

by the users.

4.5 Risk management

4.5.1 The project faces the following potential risks as identified in the Result Based Logical

frame and proposed some mitigation measures summarized below.

Table 4.1: Risk mitigation measures

Risk Rating Mitigating Measures

1

The sustainability of the markets

and value addition facilities,

particularly its O&M schedules;

Medium streamlined market management system will be

established, including the establishment of a

dedicated account for O&M, and bringing

DANIDA-ABI Trust (Agro Business Initiative)

onboard to strengthen the private sector angle of

the value addition facilities;

2

The possibility of a prolonged

construction of the markets

compelling the vendors to stay

longer at temporary market sites

with potential loss of income by

both the Vendors and Councils;

Low Close monitoring of implementation of the project

by both the Government and the Bank;

3

The private sector may not be

adequately motivated to participate

in value addition in the re-

developed markets;

Low Provision of Business Development Support

Services to potential SMEs actors will motivate

them to participate in the project under PPP.

Moreover provision of facilities for other services

such as banks/microfinance institutions, clinics,

pharmacies, day-care centres, restaurants, cloth

stalls will create a growth node that will attract the

private sector.

4

Lack of transparency in the

allocation of facilities after

completion and gray areas in the

relationship between the vendors

and Municipalities.

Low Lessons learnt during the allocation of MATP-1

facilities were considered during the design of

MATIP-2 and an elaborated MOU will be signed

between the two parties and the vendors relocated

to temporally locations will get first priority.

4.6 Knowledge building

4.6.1 A number of studies/surveys are planned to be undertaken through the project, with a

view to generating information that will inform both the vendors and the councils, Ministries

as well as other stakeholders in the course of decision making. The analytical work will

mainly focus on areas of value addition and value chain analysis; linkages between the urban

and rural markets and cross border trade. Moreover, the project will develop a Market

Page 28: UGANDA MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL TRADE IMPROVEMENT

18

Information System (MIS) that will generate data pertaining to prices, sources and volumes

of commodities to be shared with all stakeholders. All knowledge attributes generated from

the project will be shared with the respective Government and Municipal Council authorities,

the Bank, Development Partner agencies and civic society at large as facilitation tools in

future decision making processes.
