The E-Mobility Outlook Report 2024 provides a comprehensive assessment of Uganda’s progress in implementing the National E-Mobility Strategy, outlining the opportunities, challenges, and strategic interventions necessary to accelerate this transition. The transition to electric mobility represents a pivotal shift in Uganda’s transportation sector.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), EV sales accounted for 14%
The State of African Energy Outlook 2025 provides an overview of the African energy sector 2024 and highlights trends in oil, gas and renewables.
The report revealed that:
Energy employment includes jobs in fuel supply (coal, oil, natural gas, bioenergy, nuclear fuel, low emissions hydrogen and critical minerals), the power sector (generation, transmission, distribution and storage), and end-uses (vehicle manufacturing and energy efficiency in buildings and industry)
The Uganda Road Fund was established by Government to finance routine and periodic maintenance of public roads. On a quarterly basis monitoring and evaluation is undertaken to ensure value for money of the funds disbursed to Designated Agencies (DAs). The road maintenance programme aims to reduce the rate of deterioration of roads, lower vehicle operating costs, travel time, and safety of road users.

The Energy Progress Report assesses achievements in the global quest for universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy by 2030. The report findings indicate that on a global scale, achievement of the 2030 target will not be achieved partly due to disruptions by the COVID-19 pandemic and inadequate investment in energy and the attendant policy and regulatory reforms.
Industrialization is fundamental to Africa’s development. According to the Africa Industrialization Index 2022 report, Africa’s rapid growing internal markets and large labour force are an impetus for industrial development. However, industrial development has grown at a slow pace. The Africa Industrialization Index (AII) is a flagship initiative by the African Development Bank (AfDB) aimed at strengthening data on Africa’s industrial development.
The report shows that financing of energy investments continues to fall behind the commitments, which reduces the chances of meeting the SDG7 energy access targets. In case of Uganda, the report indicates that there has been a slight improvement in finance disbursements albeit at a slow pace. However, the delayed disbursements are as a result of poor project designs and inadequate coordination in project implementation.
The report indicates progress in Global electrification rate estimated at 90 percent. This rate however, is unlikely to achieve indicator 7.1 unless the pace of growth in electrification accelerates to 0.9 percent annually.
The report further notes that regional electrification rates show different trends with Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern and south eastern Asia achieving 98 percent electrification. On the other hand, sub Saharan Africa achieved 46 percent in the same period where it accounts for three quarters of world population without access to electricity.
The report describes the dangers associated with Infrastructure disruptions with its effects on household well-being, business growth, health and education. It further states that a weak infrastructure stock poses multi-dimensional effects on private businesses as well as households.
