Gulu leaders have asked the
Government of Uganda and TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) to accelerate the process
of the construction of the first ever trade logistics hub in Gulu.
The leaders made this call during a stakeholder engagement
meeting and field supervision for the proposed Gulu Logistics Hub Facility in
northern Uganda, between the project developers - EU and TMEA (who are funded
by the DFID for this project), Ministry of Works and Transport, Uganda Railways
Corporation (URC), National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), Government
Valuers, Gulu District leaders and Gulu Railway Station community.
Dennis Accellam, the LCI Chairperson Go Down sub-ward, where
the project will be located said the locals are eager and waiting for the project
to kick off.
The proposed Gulu Logistics Hub is a USD 9 million TMEA and
EU funded project in partnership with the Government of Uganda.
According to Damali Ssali, the Ag. Country Director for
TMEA, Uganda, the project is intended to facilitate Uganda's import trade and
easy trading around the northern corridor.
"As TradeMark EA, our main aim is to facilitate
processes and infrastructure that ease trade in the East African Community. We
have worked on major one-stop border posts on several Uganda Borders. We are
also working on this hub because it is a major route that will enable trade
between Uganda, South Sudan and Eastern DR Congo among other countries. Often
trucks that bring goods to South Sudan have been coming back empty. With the
hub, we expect a change," Damali Ssali said.
