Uganda Tables $500 Million Dollars To Relocate All Government Offices To Entebbe, See Why!

By Our Reporter

The Ugandan government has revived its plans to relocate key government offices from Kampala to Entebbe, State Minister for Privatisation and Investment, Evelyn Anite, confirmed. This ambitious move is aimed at decongesting the capital and promoting economic growth in the region.

As part of the relocation initiative, the government has allocated 150 acres of prime land in Entebbe to Chinese investors, with the goal of building modern facilities. The $500 million project, spearheaded by Chinese investor Paul Zhang and his company, Tian Tang Group, is set to create what Anite described as an “alternative capital city.”

“Unless you are in a government-constructed facility, all other offices will have to move to Entebbe,” Anite said during a meeting with Chinese investors in Kampala. She also revealed that the new government campus under construction will house all ministries, departments, and agencies currently renting private offices.

The relocation plan, which was first announced in 2018, aims to relieve the growing congestion in Kampala and promote the growth of Entebbe as a key business hub. The project will include a conference center, five-star hotel, international school, and modern housing—facilities that are expected to attract middle-income citizens and international visitors to the area.

The project’s vision is to modernize Entebbe, a city that is already home to Uganda’s State House and the UN East Africa headquarters, by introducing new infrastructure and amenities. Zhang, who proposed the idea for the development, emphasized Entebbe’s strategic location near the international airport, which offers unique opportunities for both domestic and international investors.

The new facilities will cater to both expatriates and high-income citizens, ensuring that the region benefits from an influx of people seeking quality services and modern housing. “The government views this as a strategic move to promote economic growth and create jobs,” Anite explained, adding that the project would help broaden Uganda’s tax base.

The government is offering incentives to investors to drive job creation, stimulate growth, and contribute to the modernization of Entebbe. Zhang said that his company is set to invest up to $500 million in building a modern city with top-tier amenities in the area.

With construction expected to begin next month, contingent on environmental approval, this initiative is seen as a pivotal step in shaping the future of Entebbe and driving economic development for Uganda.
