Infrastructure is the backbone of any thriving economy, and in Uganda, it plays a critical role in supporting the mining and healthcare sectors. At Horizon Investments, we guide investors toward infrastructure opportunities that enhance mining operations, improve healthcare access, and drive sustainable development across the country.
The Infrastructure Gap in Uganda
Uganda’s mining sector, while growing rapidly, is often hampered by inadequate infrastructure. Remote mining sites in regions like Karamoja lack reliable roads, power, and water systems, increasing operational costs and risks. Similarly, healthcare facilities in these areas struggle with limited access to electricity and transportation, making it difficult to deliver quality care. The government is addressing these gaps through public-private partnerships (PPPs), creating a wealth of opportunities for investors.
Investment Opportunities in Infrastructure
We recommend the following infrastructure investments:
Logistics Networks for Mining: Invest in road and rail networks to connect mining sites to markets, reducing transportation costs and improving efficiency. A recent PPP we advised on in Mubende resulted in a 30% reduction in logistics costs for a gold mining operation.
Power and Water Systems: Develop solar-powered grids and water purification systems to support both mining operations and nearby communities, ensuring sustainable operations and community goodwill.
Healthcare Infrastructure: Build clinics and diagnostic centers in mining regions through PPPs, providing essential care for workers and their families. We recently facilitated an investment in a mobile clinic in Busia, serving over 3,000 people annually and boosting community support for local mining projects.
