| Summary: | For a landlocked country like Uganda,
access to ports through its neighbors as well as adequate
transport infrastructure (road, rail, air, inland waterways
to facilitate better access to the ports) are crucial since
it is the conduit through which trade flows. Regional
integration is indispensable in this context in order to
expand and to integrate markets, exploit economies of scale,
and attract foreign direct investment. Recognizing the
importance of transport and logistics as a key sector in
supporting Uganda’s economic development, this report
assesses the human resource needs of the transport and
logistics sector, including ‘green skills’. Green transport
and logistics is a focus of the sector globally as it seeks
to maximize resources, focus on efficiency and effectiveness
