One park. Multiple strategic industries.

Kabaale is positioned as more than an airport development, bringing together strategic infrastructure, petroleum projects and supporting industries.

01

International Airport

Uganda’s second international airport is identified as one of the park’s anchor infrastructure projects.

02

Crude Oil Export Hub

The park is planned to host infrastructure supporting Uganda’s crude export activities.

03

Uganda Refinery

The planned refinery is a core industrial anchor within the Kabaale development ecosystem.

04

Industrial Cluster

Petrochemical, fertilizer, agro-processing, warehousing, logistics and related industries are envisaged.

UNOC’s role

From land to an investable industrial platform.

The Government of Uganda acquired the land for development of the park. UNOC leads its development, operationalisation and management with a strategic joint venture partner.

UNOC and the strategic partner are expected to support management, promotion, national participation, direct investment and the attraction of external investment.

Development model

Public assets. Strategic partnership. Private investment.

UNOC provides project assets and stakeholder leadership while the partner supports investment in enabling infrastructure, pre-built warehouses and offices, and facility management services.
