- This project has been coded with a Project Status of 'Implementation' because, as of 4/7/2020, the project status was marked as 'Ongoing' in the aid management platform maintained by Uganda's Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development.
- The face value of the loan seems high, given the nature of the project that it purportedly financed. This issue merits further investigation.
