All reforms
Low utilisation of the Gulu Logistics Hub
URC to prioritise funding for cargo-handling equipment including reach stackers, forklifts and cranes
Not started
Medium priority
Status confirmed 11 August 2026Agreed, but implementation has not begun.
Why this reform was agreed
Tariff rates at the Gulu Logistics Hub are uncompetitive against regional alternatives. Elegu, one hour away, charges UGX 10,000 per truck per night for parking while the Gulu Logistics Hub charges UGX 50,000.
Ongoing and planned interventions
URA is piloting Direct Import Zone status for the Gulu Logistics Hub, allowing cargo to bypass Kampala for clearance and reducing the storage costs that currently make it more expensive than the Elegu border.
