Ivan Emmanuel Mwondha, the Senior Transport Specialist at the World Bank Uganda, served as the project’s focal person and team leader.
The Auditor General found that implementation delays attracted commitment charges amounting to USD9.5 million (SDR5.9 million) on the undisbursed credit.
Out of total available funds of USD71.9 million, only USD44.8 million was spent, leaving USD27.1 million unutilised.
The project’s objective was to reduce transport costs, improve road safety and sustainably preserve road infrastructure along the Tororo–Kamdini corridor through cost-effective asset management contracts.
World Bank records indicate the project officially closed on 31 December 2025, with Ivan Emmanuel Mwondha serving as the World Bank’s Senior Transport Specialist and project focal person during its implementation.
