The brief

This community-focused project aimed to boost local trade in a previously underserved area of northern Uganda. The works included construction of 50 lockable market stalls arranged in a linear layout, each measuring 3m x 3m with concrete floors, metal doors, and secure locking systems.

Additional facilities included a communal water point with a hand pump, two ventilated pit latrines, a waste collection area, and a small office for market management. 

Scope of Work
  • 50 lockable stalls (3m x 3m each)
  • Communal water point with hand pump
  • Two ventilated pit latrines
  • Waste collection area
  • Market management office
Location
Lamwo District

Our team mobilized equipment and materials to a remote location with limited road access, requiring careful logistics planning. The project was completed during the dry season to avoid weather-related delays. Since handover, the market has become a vibrant economic hub, benefiting over 300 local vendors and improving food security and income generation in the sub-county.
