Construction of a petroleum pipeline between Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. This involves the section from Eldoret to the border with Uganda.

Construction of a petroleum pipeline between Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. This involves the section from the border with Kenya to Kampala, Uganda.

Construction of petroleum pipeline between Malaba, Kenya to eastern side of Kampala, Uganda. It is envisaged that the 210 km,  8 inch diameter pipeline will move Malaba to Jinja (130 km) and then Jinja to Kampala (80 km). It will have a pumping rate of 168 m3 per hour and an annual capacity of 1.2 million cubic meter. The pipeline will carry refined petroleum products from the Kenyan port city of Mombasa to Nairobi, then continue to Eldoret. It was then to be extended to the Kampala, Uganda from Eldoret. The total construction cost for the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali portion of the pipeline is estimated at approximately US$5 billion. In November 2014, the International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank, pledged to lend US$600 million towards the construction of the Eldoret-Kampala section of the project. The Kampala terminal will have a capacity of 72,000 m3 and comprise of 7 products and 4 interface tanks. It is estimated that the Malaba-Kampala line will cost USD 96.9 million. The Uganda Government is considering relocating the storage facility from the eastern side to the west side of Kampala city. The Ugandan Government has acquired land in Namwambula village for setting up the multi-user storage terminal  It will among other things: Serve as a distribution center for petroleum products from the refinery to market centers in Kampala, Western Kenya, Northern Tanzania and Rwanda A storage and distribution centre for imported petroleum products A delivery point for the planned Hoima - Kampala products pipeline and the planned Eldoret (Kenya) - Kampala (Uganda) products pipeline. It will as well serve as the starting point for the planned Kampala (Uganda)-Kigali (Rwanda) products pipelineCurrent truck transportation rates vary from $40 - $ 42 per m3. Total duration to procure, construct and commission 2 to 2.5 years. The feasibility study for the Eldoret to Kampala pipeline extension was awarded to an international firm in 1997. The study was completed in 1998, and the report was submitted the following year. The study was funded by the European Investment Bank.  Construction is expected to begin in 2014, with a 32-month construction time frame. Commissioning is expected in 2016.

The project scope will cover construction of the first nine deep sea berths at the Lamu Port in Manda Bay to contain Crude Oil and Coal Terminals, General Cargo and Bulk Cargo Terminals.  This may involve some of all of the following activities, i.e. dredging and reclamation; construction of berths and yards; construction of revetment, causeway and road; construction of buildings and utilities; procurement of equipment and tug boats; etc.  

The core scheme of the project consists of a 26 m head dam and reservoir on Nyimur River and five (5) modules of irrigated lowland rice of approximately 5,105 ha. A mini hydropower plant with a capacity of 350 kW is included in the dam component

The governments of Kenya and Uganda and Rwanda have committed to the development of a standard gauge railway that links the landlocked countries of Rwanda and Uganda with Mombasa port in Kenya. This project entails the section from Tororo to Gulu to Pakwach in Uganda.

Kenya already has several sub-marine fibers landing in Mombasa and has already done terrestrial fiber connecting the sub-marine cable to the borders of the other partner countries ( Busia border for Uganda, Mandera border for Somalia, Moyale border for Ethiopia, Nadapal border for South sudan, Lunga-lunga, Namanga and Holili border for Tanzania). The inter-connectivity infrastructure at the border points comprising 400 Gbps PoPs and Smart Hub data centre in Mombasa are lacking.
