The Government of Uganda is reinforcing the Agricultural Mechanization Programme through a number of initiatives including the construction of 4 regional mechanization centers in Buwama – Mpigi district (Central Region), Agwata – Dokolo district (Northern Region), Kiryandongo district and Mbale district.
The regional mechanization centers will decentralize the irrigation and water for agriculture production services. The centers will be managed by a Senior Engineer who will work with a Mechanical Engineer, an Irrigation Engineer and a Civil Engineer.
The centers will be equipped with tractors and maintenance tools/ mobile workshops. The centers will also be responsible for maintaining Government tractors and repair/ maintenance of privately owned tractors in the district at cost recovery basis. The establishment of the centers was phased and by December 2019, Buwama was at 60% completion while Agwata was at 50% completion.
This is work done through the MAAIF Department of Agricultural Infrastructure, Mechanization and Water for Agricultural Production.
