Grant Description
In 2012, the Chinese Government and the Government of Uganda signed an exchange of notes regarding a Solar Street Demonstration Project (also known as the Solar Energy Street Lamp Project).
Then, at a July 22, 2014, ceremony attended by the Chinese ambassador, Zhao Yali, the Chinese Government donated 98 solar energy street lights for use in Kampala valued at $800,000. The lights were installed on the Kabaka Njagala, Mbogo and Nsambya roads in Kampala. The contractor responsible for project implementation was Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
It also implemented the maintenance of these lights when they broke (in several locations, including Kabaka Anjagala Road, Usafi Car Park, Nsambya Road, Mbogo Road and State House) less than 12 months after implementation. The batteries were replaced at no cost to the Kampala city government by Huawei.
