The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has announced plans to continue enhancing market infrastructure and expanding trading spaces.
This initiative, revealed by KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka during a meeting with market leaders at Kololo Grounds, marks a significant step towards improving the working conditions and economic prospects of vendors in the city.
KCCA’s commitment to upgrading market infrastructure in Kampala is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s a strategic investment in the city’s economic backbone—its vendors. By improving sanitation, security, and overall market conditions, KCCA is creating a more conducive environment for economic activity, thereby boosting the income potential of thousands of traders.
The ongoing and planned enhancements, including the installation of modern sanitation facilities, solar lighting, and the construction of new market spaces, reflect a broader vision aligned with the government’s priority of economic empowerment.
This initiative is set to transform public markets into hubs of economic activity, where vendors can thrive in a cleaner, safer, and more organized environment.
The story also highlights the collaborative efforts between KCCA, the Presidential Office, and market leaders, showcasing a unified approach to addressing the challenges faced by vendors. As KCCA rolls out these infrastructure upgrades, the positive ripple effects on local businesses and the wider economy are expected to be profound, setting a precedent for sustainable urban development in Kampala.
