S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Uganda Railways Corporation resumed cargo transport with Kenya after a seven-month suspension, aiming to boost regional trade and reduce freight costs. The service recently moved 40 containers from Mombasa to Namanve in three days. URC faces significant funding and infrastructure challenges, seeking $245 million for modernization. A government- and EU-backed project to rehabilitate the Tororo-Gulu line, expected by February, will improve cargo access to northern Uganda and neighboring countries.
