About The Opportunity
The technical assistance is designed to address these issues with the objective to improve the efficiency and predictability of freight movement on Uganda’s Northern Corridor segment while maintaining effective axle-load control. This will be done by establishing a comparable baseline of logistics performance across all relevant weigh stations and their approaches, and by developing an agreed plan for operational and process improvements. The work is strongly grounded in consultation with both public agencies and private corridor users.
A first phase will focus on the baseline review including interviews and consultations. The second phase will focus on improving the analysis with a Public Private Dialogue and a peer review between Ugandan and Kenyan officials In a third phase the GG ICR Facility will provide TA support to introduce immediate process improvements in at least one pilot site.

- Develop a standardized SOP compendium: inspection/weighing sequences, exceptions, roles/responsibilities, data capture points, job aids, driver guidance/posters.
- Recommend site-specific operational improvements (layout guidance, queue/site management, shift/role plans), prioritizing measures not requiring procurement.
- Support Kenya peer exchange (calibration/operational practice), draft technical note; embed UNBS/calibration aspects into SOPs.
