Safe Way Right Way has established a new training facility in Mukono district. The facility will offer theoretical and practical training to drivers of Heavy Goods Vehicles and Passenger Service Vehicles. Three existing driving schools are also receiving support to strengthen and maintain the quality of their training.
“The development of skills is critical in ensuring that nationals are able to participate in important sectors like oil and gas and industrialisation,” said Ms. Sarah Mann, the British Deputy High Commissioner to Uganda. “Specifically for Uganda, the program supports the government’s ambitions in developing national content.”
“The project is a model example of how development cooperation will have to work in the future to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals,” said Mr. Christan Schnurre, GIZ Country Director. “It has already been seen that donor funding alone will not suffice if we are to achieve these ambitious, jointly set goals….this form of public-private partnership will be key in combating many development challenges in Uganda.”
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD).
