1. Context
   
   Government's ambition, captured in Uganda's Vision 2040; is to make the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA), one of the most attractive cities in the world, offering its citizens and visitors a safe and effi cient city environment. The context is that Kampala is the 13th fastest growing urban centre in the world, with the Jinja-Kampala-Entebbe (JKE) corridor accounting for more than 60 percent of Uganda's GDP. It is therefore urgent to improve the connectivity and productivity of urban municipalities in the JKE corridor for all citizens, as a driver to strengthen Uganda's economic growth. In this context, the UK Government has launched the Cities and Infrastructure for Growth (CIG) programme to support the Government of Uganda to unlock its urban potential.
    
2. CIG Uganda Programme Development Objectives and Assignment
   
   Background
   
   The CIG Uganda programme, implemented by Cardno Emerging Markets (UK) Ltd, on behalf of UK Department for International Development (DFID), aims to enhance the country's economic performance through a number of interventions, including investments in human capital development. In particular, the ability to prepare investment-grade bankable infrastructure projects needs improvement within Ugandan Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to enable projects to attract private sources of fi nancing. Consequently, there is a need to build the capacity of front-line project teams assigned to prepare priority infrastructure projects. This will be addressed through an intervention entitled Project Preparation Capacity Building.
