Uganda: Environmental and Social Management Systems as part of Technical Assistance to the National Roads Sector

Since 2005, IMC has provided technical assistance to the national roads sector in Uganda, including the formation in 2009 of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA). Support to the environment and social development specialists in the new organisation has been key. IMC worked with UNRA to develop management systems for environmental and social management and for land acquisition and resettlement. These included policy statements, measurable objectives, and a set of operational procedures. Both systems mainstream social and environmental issues.
