By creating an eco-friendly, safe, and inclusive loading zone around the market in Jinja, Uganda through moveable bollards, parking management, and other measures, the project will enhance sustainable access as well as health and road safety.
Unsafe and unpleasant conditions in the City of Jinja for pedestrians & cyclists and congestion caused by haphazard freight vehicles & parking have led to a deterioration of public life and economic activity. This has been exasperated by the Covid-19 restrictions. Mobilizing Jinja aims to demonstrate the value of Non-Motorized Transport by improving the flow of people and goods in and around Jinja‘s Central Market. By creating an eco-friendly, safe, and inclusive loading zone around Jinja‘s market through moveable bollards, parking management, and other measures, the project will enhance sustainable access as well as health and road safety.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is headed by the Minister, Svenja Schulze, the Parliamentary State Secretaries, Dr. Bärbel Kofler and Niels Annen, and the State Secretary, Jochen Flasbarth. When Germany provides a developing country with a low-interest loan, when German experts advise the government of a partner country on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) or when private German organisations carry out projects in developing countries, these are all approaches involving direct development cooperation between Germany and its partners. Besides engaging in such bilateral development cooperation activities, Germany is also involved in activities for the benefit of the developing countries at the international level.
