Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has reported that it achieved 36% of the objectives outlined in its 2020/21 to 2024/25 strategic plan.
The report, presented by Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki, highlights a mixed performance over the five-year period, with 32% of the targets partially achieved, 25.4% not achieved at all, and 8% lacking sufficient data.
At the outcome level, KCCA achieved 33.3% of its goals, while output-level achievements stood at 37%. Buzeki noted key accomplishments, including improvements in urban infrastructure, such as an increase in the signalization of traffic junctions from 31% to 38% and the completion of the Central Traffic Control Center, which is expected to improve traffic flow in the city.
The announcement was made during the launch of KCCA’s new five-year strategic plan at City Hall.
The plan, which covers the financial years 2025/26 to 2029/30, aims to transform Kampala into a vibrant, attractive, livable, and sustainable capital.
It places strong emphasis on urban resilience, inclusivity, and improved service delivery.
KCCA’s new strategy includes ambitious goals such as enhancing city revenue, upgrading road infrastructure, and strengthening the education and health sectors.
It also prioritizes major infrastructure developments like the second phase of the Kampala Flyover Project, and the decommissioning and repurposing of the Kiteezi landfill.
To realize these goals, the authority estimates a financial requirement of Shs 11.9 trillion.
This funding is expected to come from the central government, as well as innovative financing mechanisms including grants, climate financing, sponsorships, and public-private partnerships.
Buzeki expressed confidence that with stronger partnerships and better resource mobilization, the next five years will see significant progress in transforming Kampala into a world-class city.
