UGANDA CAN LEARN FROM ETHIOPIA! Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam 6.000 MW Dam @ the cost of nearly $ 5 Billion most of it raised domestically demonstrates the power of patriotism, national determination and domestic resource mobilization. Uganda can adopt this model to finance strategic energy infrastructure without excessive foreign borrowing through National Infrastructure Bonds, NSSF investments, diaspora bonds, private sector equity and government allocations. We could initially develop 3,000 MW of nuclear power, with provision for future expansion, targeting Africa’s lowest sustainable electricity tariffs to drive industrialization across manufacturing, mining, steel, cement, agro-processing, transport and other productive sectors. A professionally managed National Energy Development Fund, backed by transparent governance, rigorous nuclear safety standards and long-term investment planning, could mobilize domestic capital. Affordable, reliable baseload electricity is the foundation of industrial competitiveness, job creation, value addition and economic transformation. Africa must increasingly finance its own development! @KagutaMuseveni @jessica_alupo @R_Nabbanja @DrMusenero @rggoobi
