Uganda Property Holdings Ltd (UPHL) is a Government fully owned Company under the oversight of the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development with the mandate of securing and maintaining of Government Commercial Properties and acting as an investment vehicle that ensures appreciation of Government real estate assets. The Company was established in 1998 and over the years, has substantially grown its asset portfolio with strategic properties in Mombasa, Kenya, London in the United Kingdom and in Uganda.
The National Development Plan IV identifies the need to promote Uganda’s export through market access, presence and competitiveness of Uganda’s goods and services. Given the importance of the Port of Mombasa in the Uganda’s international trade, the Government has to Strategically position its self in Mombasa to facilitate its exports. Uganda Property Holdings Ltd owns and manages several industrial warehouses that Uganda can leverage on to boost its exports. Similarly, in Uganda, the Company owns and manages industrial warehouses that are used for storage and industrial purposes. However, there is still shortage of industrial warehouses in Uganda.
In this Strategic Plan, the Company aims at growing the quantity and quality of its properties through putting up new storage facilities and improving the existing ones.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the Board, staff of UPHL and all the stakeholders who collectively developed this Strategic Plan. The Plan will go a long way in helping the Government realizing some of the objectives of the NDP IV.
The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development remains committed to supporting UPHL in the implementation of the Plan.
For God and my Country
MATIA KASAIJA (MP)
Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development
