The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Co-operatives (MTIC) has received financing from the World Bank towards the Great Lakes Trade Facilitation Project (GLTFP) which aims at facilitating cross-border trade (CBT) by increasing the capacity for commerce and reducing the costs faced by cross borders traders, especially women traders.

Implementation is co-ordinated with Ministry Works and Transport in collaboration with the border agencies. The GLTF Project will support improvement of the border trade infrastructure and border market facilities at Mpondwe, Goli and Bunagana.

Other activities include CBT Policy and Procedure Reforms and Performance Based Management. Infrastructure related activities will require preparation and implementation of comprehensive ESIAs, ESMPs, and RAPs in accordance with the law and governing procedures of Uganda and the World Bank.

It is on the basis of the above that MTIC now seeks to acquire the services of a Project Assistant and Officer Administrator to strengthen the capacity of the Project implementation Unit in managing the Project.
