Hope, optimism, persistence, recovery, disgust and faith. These are words that could oddly best describe the year 2012 as Uganda recovered from one of the most difficult years – 2011 – in a decade.
The completion and final commissioning of the US$900m 250MW Bujagali Hydro Power Dam, the single largest Public Private Partnership in Uganda was another piece of great news to Ugandans, especially the private sector. The project developed by a consortium of big names consisting of: Sithe Global, Blackstone, IPS, Agha Khan Fund for Economic Development and the republic of Uganda added to the ever shrinking power equation, a much needed 250MW, eventually wiping out the power deficit.
