Why this project?

The Goli/Mahagi border between Uganda and DR Congo is characterised by dilapidated infrastructure and border inefficiency which results in a poor environment for handling and processing goods and people.  DR Congo is key trading partner for Uganda, with a significant amount of manufactured goods being exported to DR Congo. Furthermore, informal trade between Uganda and DR Congo is high, in FY 2017/18 DR Congo was the main informal partner with total informal export trade of USD 291.48 million. DR Congo has also expressed interest in joining the East African Community which will further strengthen its ties with Uganda and the EAC region.

What:

The project will address the challenges at the Goli/Mahagi border by constructing a one stop border post, implementing an integrated border management system including procedural and regulatory reforms

How:

TMA, with funding from the United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), is financing the construction of the Goli OSBP and the integrated border management system.
