Railway lines should not simply connect ports to mines,\u201d Mr Adesina said.<\/p>\n<p>The works entail the rehabilitation of 265km railway line between Malaba and Mukono, including the line to Jinja pier and Port Bell on Lake Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>The project, which the Cabinet and Parliament backed, incorporates training and skills development for the railway workforce.<\/p>\n<p>It will also integrate nature-based solutions, including tree planting to enhance the climate resilience of the tracks.<\/p>\n<p>It is aligned with Uganda\u2019s Vision 2040 national strategy as well as the East African Community\u2019s Vision 2050, which aims at deepening trade and transform East Africa into a globally competitive upper-middle-income region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
