Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) Course Program
Overview
PPP Institute at MBTC is an educational institute focused mainly on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP). The institute is jointly managed by Meritorious Biz Tech College (MBTC) of Uganda and the Council for Trade and Investment Promotion (CTIP), a U.S. based non-profit and non-government organization. The institute shall promote educational awareness program of promoting PPP as a tool in undertaking eligible government infrastructure projects.
The institute has developed a world class PPP Course to help both the public and the private sector understands the intricacies of doing PPP Projects. The Course shall cover not only the existing PPP Law of the country and its Implementing Guidelines, but also subjects involving taxation, investment laws, foreign exchange act, project and trade finance, including export credit, experiences of other developing and developed countries involved on PPP, local government capacity build up, designing a more responsive PPP for Local Government Units (LGUs) and creating a Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF).
Moreover, the Course will also include studies on solicited and unsolicited proposals and PPP versus the traditional procurement system on public infrastructure.
The report on the status of PPP in Uganda from the World Bank and the Economic Intelligence Unit shows that:
PPPs are viewed by Uganda’s Government as an important means of bridging the financing gap that is implicit in its ambitious infrastructure plan over the next five years, which is valued at $30bn;
Although there are still some improvements in the PPP Law, the regulatory framework on PPP is now in place;
One of the biggest challenges for the country is the limited capacity in government institutions. Although this is likely to remain a significant constraint for the foreseeable future, the establishment of a dedicated PPP Unit may provide some relief;
The need for educational institutions to support the PPP Unit of the government of Uganda; and
Educating the general public about the merits of the PPP model and associated conditions needed to ensure success.
The PPP Institute at MBTC will support the PPP Unit of the Government of Uganda by providing the much needed educational awareness program on PPP, not only to the stakeholders and PPP Practitioners but also to the general public.
It will put up its own PPP Research Center, and part of it will be a library to support the Center. As the institute moves along, it will offer graduate studies that will focus principally on PPP.

Market Overview
The Ugandan economy grew by 5.7 percent in fiscal year (FY) 2013/14, up from 5.1 percent the previous year. Economic growth is expected to accelerate six percent in FY 2014/15. The country however still is highly dependent on foreign aid. Direct budgetary support from donors makes up about 19 percent of the Ugandan budget. However, many donors, including the U.S., have moved away from direct budget support to the Ugandan government and provide millions of dollars in aid to NGOs, contractors, and other civil society organizations that are not reflected in the budget.
In 2012, total trade was $9.3 billion, with $2.86 billion worth of exports, and $6.42 billion worth of imports. Trade contributed 42 percent of GDP. Trade balance improved from a deficit of $2.6 billion to $1.8 billion as a result of increased exports.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) declined from $1.7 billion in 2012 to $1.2 billion in 2013, although the UNCTAD World Investment Report shows that Uganda remains the leading recipient of Foreign Direct Investment in the East African region. FDI in Uganda continues to be driven largely by heavy investments from oil exploring companies. As Uganda moves toward active oil production in the next several years, it will likely continue to attract FDI.
Major investments were made in construction, banking and financial services, telecommunications, and petroleum exploration.
Uganda’s gross domestic product (GDP) was $25.3 billion in FY 2013/14 and the World Bank reports that GDP per capita is $551. The service sector was the largest contributor to GDP in 2012 at 44.7 percent and industry contributed about 26.6 percent. The agriculture and fishing sectors have stagnated at about 22 percent over the past years. Nonetheless, the sector provides approximately 66 percent of employment in Uganda. Of the 37 million people living in Uganda, 24.5 percent of the population lives on less than $1 per day.
The Ugandan government continues to emphasize strengthening the country's road, rail, water, energy, and communications infrastructure. In FY 2013/14, the Ugandan Governmentnearly $1 billion in road construction and improvement; this will remain a priority in FY 2014/15.
Uganda’s major trading partners are its regional neighbors, including Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and South Sudan. The European Union, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, India, China, Japan and Singapore follow behind Uganda's regional partners.

Market Opportunities
U.S. exports to Uganda totaled $125 million in 2013. Major American exports to Uganda include machinery and machinery parts, electronics, transportation equipment, and optic and medical instruments. Prospects for U.S. exports to Uganda include construction equipment, renewaoil production technologies, power generation, hydropower technologies, manufacturing and mining equipment, information and communication technology products, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, supplies for food processing, agrinputs, cosmetics, and consumer goods.
Uganda enjoys a unique location at the heart of Africa giving it an advantage for regional trade and investment. Uganda has seen its regional trade grow steadily with its neighbors South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. However, trade flows can be suddenly disrupted when conflict breaks out, as happened in South Sudan at the end of 2013.from and trade with Asian countries, including Singapore, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Pakistan, China, India, and Malaysia, is also increasing.
Coffee, tea, tobacco and cotton, Uganda's largest exports by value, have generally increased in quantity and dollar value, with some year-to-year fluctuation. Uganda is Africa’s largest ecoffee, producing about 3.8 million bags of coffee in 2013 and the country benefited from a drought in Brazil that drove coffee prices higher. Tea exports increased to $73.9 million in 2012 from 72.1 million in 2012. Cotton exports decreased froto $76 million in 2012. Other important exports include fish, flowers, and cement. Tourism is a growing industry. In 2011, Uganda earned $805 million from 1.15 million visitors, up from $662 million earned in 2010 from 946,000 visitors. Tourearned the country $834 million in 2012.
Uganda's banking industry has grown and currently consists of 25 banks. Financial services in Uganda are becoming more efficient with the presence of several international banks such as Citibank, Barclays, and Standard Chartered.

Uganda's telecommunications sector, power sector, and untapped mineral resources have also attracted foreign investment. Over the next decade, Uganda will need to upgrade its power generation capabilities and its transportation network (air, rail, and road). Additional prospects for U.S. investment in Uganda are in the agribusiness, construction, tourism, transportation, light manufacturing, and oil infrastructure and services. Uganda's expanding services sector has also created new investment opportunities for smaller investors in financial services, information technology, catering and entertainment.
Foreign oil companies have drilled dozens of successful exploratory wells in western Uganda along the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, and recoverable reserves are estimated to be at least 3.5 billion barrels, which will make Uganda a top sub-Saharan Africa oil producer. Total, Tullow, and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) are now developing wells, and an estimated $10 billion in infrastructure development - including roads, ports, airports, and pipelines - will be required to prepare the country for commercial oil production projected to begin in 2018. In 2014, the Ugandan government is expected to select a firm to build a 60,000 barrel per day refinery to ease its dependence on imported petroleum products and to generate revenue by exporting refined products throughout the East African region.
There are opportunities to bid on government tenders for donor-supported infrastructure and other development projects. In recent years, U.S. firms have been competitive bidders for tenders for power generation and transmission equipment, telecommunications services, information technology equipment and services, and transportation infrastructure. In the past some government tenders have been suspended over allegations of corruption in the selection process, leading some U.S. companies to question their ability to successfully compete for government projects in Uganda. U.S. firms also need to be aware that some unscrupulous people are sending out fake tenders and thereby obtaining money from bidders.
Exports to the United States under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) also represent opportunities, though few traders have taken advantage of their potential. In 2012, AGOA exports were $1.8 million, down from $2.5 million in 2011. There has been a significant decline from the $6 million worth of goods exported in 2006. In 2013 Ugandan exports (including non-AGOA products) totaled $47 million. Uganda imported $125 million of goods from the U.S.
Infrastructure
Overview
Return to top Uganda has a pressing need for infrastructure improvements, particularly in regard to roads and power. International financial institutions and donors are interested in participating in these projects. Uganda lacks the road network essential to bringing crops to market. The primary road network is also in need of expansion and repair. Uganda faces an increasing shortfall in electric power due to economic growth and a population growing at 3.2 percent annually. Uganda has no domestic production of the equipment needed to develop large-scale infrastructure projects. Additionally, Uganda's growing industries and service providers badly need larger and more modern sites, such as industrial zones, in which to operate. The government and World Bank are funding the construction of several industrial zones, such as one 13 kilometers outside Kampala in Namanve. The first firms moved into the site in 2010, but efforts to expand roads, electricity, and water/sewage are ongoing. The Ugandan government plans to build other zones in Uganda's major urban centers. With an estimated 300,000 housing units needed per year, commercial construction and residential construction in Uganda are booming.
Sub-Sector Best Prospects
Infrastructure design, construction, and operation, particularly energy-related; environmental consultancy and analysis related to infrastructure projects; architecture; construction equipment; road-building equipment; generators, transformers, and other power supply equipment; new cost effective building technologies.
Opportunities
The Ugandan government issues frequent tenders for infrastructure projects, including for power generation, transportation infrastructure, and technical equipment. Some infrastructure projects are funded by the World Bank, the African Development Bank or other development institutions. Opportunities also exist to partner with local construction firms.(Source: US State Department)

Uganda's government views PPPs as an important tool
plan to bridge the infrastructure financing gap in
years. The PPP Act, passed in 2015, provides methods
for procurement and the engagement of private partners in
PPPs. It also regulates the roles and responsibilities of
government bodies during the development and implementation
of PPP projects. The PPP Act established two PPP agencies:
Public-Private Partnerships Committee
Public-Private Partnerships Unit (within the Ministry of
Finance). Whereas the Committee is tasked with policy
formulation, allocation of funds and setting and monitoring of
standards, the PPP Unit serves as the Committee’s technical
arm. It provides financial, legal and technical expertise to the
Committee and serves as a resource center.
Prior to passing the PPP Act, projects relied on traditional
procurement procedures, with PPPs either executed under the
existing Privatization Law or the Public Procurement and
Disposal Act. The country has experience in implementing PPP
transactions, specifically in the energy, telecom and wat
sectors.
