The Transport Sector Development Project (TSDP) is also supported with a US$8 million grant from the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID). These funds will support the Government's Transport Sector Master Plan over a four-year period -2010/11 - 2013/14.
The TSDP will specifically assist the government of Uganda in improving the condition of the national road network, and increasing capacity for road safety and transport sector management. The project will see the upgrading of the Gulu-Atiak and Vurra-Arua-Oraba roads (approximately 160 km) from gravel to paved standard and the improvement of road safety through the creation and operationalisation of a National Road Safety Authority (NRSA).
