On October 9, 2023, the Government, through the Road Development Agency (RDA), signed a Concession Agreement with Messrs. Lutembwe Consulting Company Limited to rehabilitate the Katete-Chanida Road and build a new border post at Chanida to a One Stop Border Post (OSBP) standard using the Public Private Partnership (PPP) financing model.
Since the signing of the Concession Agreement, the Concessionaire and the RDA have been working to meet their conditions, which are precedent jointly and severally.
PPP initiatives are funded through equity and debt. As a result, the Concessionaire proposed to begin construction on about 10 kilometres of the project highway starting from the junction of the Great East Road and the Katete-Chanida Road utilising the equity component.
In light of the aforementioned approval, the Concessionaire has subsequently mobilised to the site and begun construction works, as shown in the images below.
