The report outlines the corridor’s present condition as a 7.0m gravel road with medium traffic, river crossings and bridges, and its role in serving Northern Uganda refugee settlements. It explains project justification linked to deteriorating access, delayed humanitarian deliveries, and the need for all-weather transport infrastructure. It also summarizes road design elements and the ESIA process requirements.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nRepublic of Uganda  \nPROPOSED UPGRADING OF THE 105-KM KOBOKO  \nYUMBE–MOYO ROAD  \nEnvironmental and Social Impact Assessment Report  \nExecutive Summary  \nThe Project  \nThe Government of Uganda has been promised a financing grant from the World Bank to support its refugee resettlement programme. For decades, Uganda has been hosting refugees and asylum seekers from many conflict-affected countries in its neighbor-hood such as Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Somalia, South Sudan, Rwanda, Eritrea, and Burundi. Refugees in Uganda are either self-settled or live in organized settlements set aside by the Government of Uganda. Currently, Uganda hosts up to about 1.5 million refugees originating from mostly South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Government of Uganda, through the Uganda National Roads Authority, to undertake a Detailed Engineering Design for the Upgrading to Bituminous standards of Koboko–Yumbe–Moyo road (approx. 105km) starting at Koboko near the Uganda– DRC international border linking Koboko, Yumbe, and Moyo districts to Moyo near the South Sudan Border.  \nThis is a gravel road carrying medium traffic volume that originates from Koboko town (a town about 45 km from Arua town) traverses through Yumbe and Moyo districts to Moyo town, for about 105 Km. Currently the road is made of a 7.0m wide carriage way that snakes through a rolling terrain to Moyo. The road crosses a number of major rivers (4No.), one of which has recently been provided with a multi-span bridge. This road traverses a number of refugee camps settlements in Northern Uganda, that is, Imvepi, Bidibidi, Lobule, and Palorinya refugee settlement camps before reaching the end node in Moyo.  \nProject justification  \nThe planned upgrading of this road segment is expected to alleviate the transport situation in this region. Currently, the road is a gravel carrying medium traffic volume and has a 7.0m wide carriageway that snakes through a rolling terrain to Moyo town. The road along its various sections has been subjected to varying degrees of damage due to rapid increase in big and heavy transportation vehicles serving the refugee settlements.  \nIn addition, the transport infrastructure in the refugee hosting districts needs improvement. The gravel roads that provide critical connectivity to these areas are unable cope with the growing traffic. Often, heavy trucks laden with supplies are delayed because of the poor condition of the roads or inadequate bridges. There are several humanitarian initiatives that are being undertaken in these areas by the GoU and international organizations, but these need to be supported with an all-weather transport infrastructure. The GoU is therefore keen to improve transport connectivity in these refugee hosting areas starting with improvement of the main trunk road of KobokoYumbe-Moyo to enhance access, facilitate delivery of supplies, and benefit both refugees and host communities.  \nThis road corridor is in the Northern part of the country where most of the refugee settlements are located. It traverses the Bidibidi (the biggest refugee settlement), the Lobule, and the Palorinya refugee settlements. This road will certainly directly alleviate a major portion of the transport challenges of this region. In addition, this road corridor also connects the countries of DRC and South Sudan through Republic of Uganda, and can provide an alternate route (redundant) to reach the northern part of the country (especially the Districts of Moyo and Yumbe which have a number of refugee settlements) from Kampala and many other parts of the country in case of non-operation of ferry services on the river Nile for any reason.  \nRoad Design  \nKoboko-Yumbe-Moyo road has been designed to class II paved standards to achieve a high degree of mobility and harmony along the corridor. The project road is classified under Class A: International Trunk Roads.
