FOREWORD
Rt. Hon Speaker and Honorable Members of the 10th Parliament, in line with the Public Finance Management
Act, 2015 (PFMA) allow me to present to you the Ministerial Policy Statement (MPS) for FY 2021/2022 for
the Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) Program/Sector in support of its Revenue and Expenditure
Estimates for the Financial Year 2021/2022, and a performance statement for the outgoing Financial Year.
The ST&I Sector comprises of two Votes, that is;
I. Vote 023 – Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation which has three Subventions, namely:
a. Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST);
b. The Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development (PIBID); and
c. Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC).
II. Vote 110 - Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI).
The National Planning Frameworks (Uganda’s Vision 2040, National Development Plans, and the Ruling
Party Manifesto) put emphasis on the fundamental role of Science, Technology and Innovation in steering
Uganda’s social-economic development. The Third National Development Plan (NDP III) objectives under
the Innovations, Technology Development and Transfer program seeks to further strengthen the coordination
of the National Innovation Eco-System. The Program’s focus is to increase the application of appropriate
technology in the production and service delivery processes in order to increase the country’s Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) and labour productivity through identifying, facilitating, nurturing, and commercializing
novel innovations and technologies; and their transfer and appropriate adoption.
Rt. Hon. Speaker, the Sector has registered notable achievements in the current Financial Year, which include
but are not limited to the following;
1. Specialized equipment has been delivered to support local development of diagnostics, medicines,
vaccines & other products to fight COVID-19 & other diseases.
2. Government signed a Cooperative Research Agreement (CRA) with Kyutech Japan/BIRDS5 Project.
In this respect three (3) Ugandan Scientists are currently undergoing space training at Kyushu Institute
of Technology. Other high level space collaborations have been signed with Russia and the republic
of South Africa. In line with this Uganda is expected to launch its first satellite by December 2022.
3. Supported the establishment of Kiira Vehicle Plant in Jinja. As of December, 2020, Progress
stood at 65% construction of the Start-Up Facilities comprising of 40,000 Square Meter Production
Facilities with capacity of twenty-two (22) Vehicles a Day translating to 5,000 Vehicles per Year
starting with Buses and Trucks which will ease public transportation in the country. Further in a bid
to commercialize the Kiira Electric Vehicle and to foster the development of the automotive industry,
my Ministry has achieved the following
i. Secured the World Manufacturers Identifier BU by the International Society for Automotive
Engineers, thus paving way for assignment of Vehicle Identification Numbers for Vehicles
Assembled in Uganda;
ii. Through technology transfer with China and utilizing production facilities at the Luwero
Industries in Nakasongola, the Kayoola EVS, a premium zero-emissions City Bus with a
range of 300km was developed and two (2) units built and are currently providing shuttle
services for Civil Aviation Authority Staff between Kampala and Entebbe;
4. Silk Industry Development. State-of-Art Silk Yarn processing equipment was procured for the two
silk processing factories located in Sheema and Mukono. This is intended to increase the country’s
capacity for modern and automated reeling of silk cocoons into yarn (thread) and re-reeling the yarn
to international standard configulation.. In addition experimental centres of Sericulture technologies
and innovations have been supported in Sheema, Mukono, Iganga, Kamuli, Bukedea, Bulambuli,
Pallisa, Zombo and Busia. Overall we strive to increase production so that the silk industry brings
into our economy a minimum of USD100 million annually and creates at least 150,000 jobs.
5. Supported various research and innovation projects under the National Research and
Innovation programme (NRIP). Through this support, we have been able to ssupport the translation
2
of a number of R&D outputs into commercializable outcomes in form of new products, services and
processes. These include among others: Makapads which is a non-irritating herbal sanitary pad
meeting the needs of the rural poor women and girls; snail tox to prevent liver flukes and bilharzia;
Bio-chemicals and microbes to kill mosquito larvae and prevent malaria; organic tear gas and other
chemicals to deter crime; Epitents for safe isolation and management of patients with COVID-19,
Ebola and other highly infectious diseases; Low cost ventilator for assisted breathing by patients with
COVID-19 and other diseases and conditions that compromise the respiratory system; Medicines to
manage patients with COVID-19 or other diseases; Rapid and highly efficient Coronavirus Antibody
Test Kit; Biosafety Testing Booths for safe collection of samples for highly infectious microbes like
coronavirus by Mbarara University; leather products and Skills Production Enterprise Development
and Accreditation (SPEDA) Innovative Model of Farmer Extension by the College of Veterinary
Medicine, Makerere University; Low cost solar powered water pumps to aid farmers in irrigation;
baby foods to fight child malnutrition; wines, juices and banana derived sanitizers that lead to
reduction of post-harvest losses and improve the livelihoods of the farmers; high quality cassava flour
being supplied to the confectionary and beverages industries among many others.
6. The Ministry was allocated a Supplementary Budget of Shs. 31 Bn to support the Presidential
Initiative on Epidemics (PRESIDE) to provide additional equipment and supplies as well support
operational expenses of prominent scientists to carry out research and development of CoVID-19
diagnostic test kits, medicines and vaccines. As a consequence of this support and the above Research
and Innovation Fund, H.E The President recently launched the first clinical trial of a potentially highly
efficacious medicinal product for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
7. Operationalizing the UIRI Machining, Manufacturing, Industrial Production and Skills
Training Centre at Namanve. This State-of the-Art Facility with machines that make other machines
was opened by H.E The President in 2020 and will enable Ugandans to be exposed to modern methods
of production.
8. Strengthening Implementation of the National Science Technology Engineering and Innovation
Skills Enhancement Project (NSTEI-SEP. We have been able to complete the process of acquiring
land for the project, carry out preliminary civil works at both Namanve and Kiruhura sites, complete
the designs and plans as well as receive some of the equipment bought under the project. In FY 2021-
22, we shall fast track the construction of both the NIT in Kiruhura and the TBI at Namanve.
9. Strengthening Uganda’s leadership of the implementation of the African Union Science,
Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA 2024). As Chair of the African Ministers
responsible for Science and Technology and those responsible for Education, I continued to build
partnerships and carry out other activities that will lead to the establishment of a strengthened and
sustainable Education, Research and Innovation Ecosystem including Bio-medical R&D Enterprises
on our African Continent.
10. Consolidated the National Science, Technology and Innovation Ecosystem Governance: The key
accomplishments included; Review of the National Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (with
ongoing further consultations); preparation of the National Bio economy Policy (draft available); and
preparation of the National Automotive Policy (draft available). These legal frameworks will govern
the implementation of ST&I to benefit the Ugandan populace.
Rt. Hon. Speaker and Hon Members, allow me to highlight some of the critical funding gaps in our Innovation, Technology Development and Transfer Programme that if addressed can help replace despair with hope among
some Ugandans especially some educated young people.
1. Establishment of the National Institute of Technoprenuership (NIT), Science and Technology
(S&T) Parks and Technology and Business Incubators (TBIs).
Government acquired a loan from China to support the National Science Technology Engineering and
Innovation Skills Enhancement Project (NSTEI-SEP) which among others will fund the establishment of the
3
Technology and Business Incubator in Namanve and the National Institute of Technoprenuership (NIT) in
Kiruhura district along Lyantonde-Mbarara Road. Over 1500 technicians, engineers and unemployed
graduates in need of retooling will be recruited per session using a Quota system and taken to the NIT in
Kiruhura and others to the UIRI facility in Namanve where they will be exposed to modern methods of
production and engineering as well as given enterprise development training to establish Start-up Companies.
Some of these Start-Ups will then be nurtured in the technology and business incubators (TBIs) to be
established in over 40 municipalities and other locations countrywide over the next 5 years. Once they have
got the required certifications of their products or processes (including intellectual property protection where
appropriate), tested the markets and acquired capital and own machinery, they will be supported to go to
Industrial Parks, Zonal Industrial Hubs, Regional Science and Technology Parks, or to their own independent
sites. The workplan for civil works for the NIT at Kiruhura and the TBI at Namanve requires 92.86 Billion
Shillings external financing for the FY 2021/22. However only 55.71 Billion Shillings have been provided
leaving a funding gap of 37.15 Billion Shillings (external financing) which is urgently needed.
The NRM manifesto 2021-2026 affirms that Government will establish Science and Technology Parks to
“facilitate innovation and technology development, technology transfer and commercialization of new
innovations”. Further the “Establishment of technology and business incubators to support start-ups and other
innovators” is emphasised. These are also NDPIII core projects (4 S&T Parks and 40 TBIs) which if
established will support creativity and innovation of our young people, strengthen our country’s STEI
Ecosystem and spur knowledge based economic development which generates millions of jobs, creates
wealth and inclusive prosperity for the country. In FY 2021/22 the Ministry requires at least 2 Billion
Shillings for project preparation activities of this crucial STEI infrastructure. These activites include
technical and financial feasibility and viability studies, layout and architectural designs, operational models,
actual project costings and environmental impact assessments among others. We hope to use equipment
bought under the NSTEI-SEP as well as graduates and start-up companies from the above-mentioned NIT to
construct the above-mentioned 4 S&T Parks and 40 TBIs over the next 5 years.
2. Research and Innovation Fund and Contribution to the African Education, Science and
Technology Fund (AESTIF)
Besides COVID-19, Kiira Motors, PIBID/BIRDC and UIRI related Innovations, there are many other
research and innovation outputs that if supported will contribute to social-economic development of our
country and people. Currently our country performs poorly globally in terms of innovation ranking standing
at 114th / 189 countries (WIP0:2020). No country can develop without unlocking her innovation potential.
Our expenditure on research and development (R&D) is one of the least in the region, we need to increase
our Gross Expenditure on R & D as a percentage of GDP (GERD) from 0.17 percent (2014) to at least 1
percent According to the World
Bank Reports, GERD for Israel is 4.95% (2018 when it became the 5th most innovative country according to the
2019 Bloomberg Innovation Index), South Africa 0.83 (2017), Kenya 0.786 (2010), Ethiopia 0.27 (2017) and
Uganda 0.17 (2014). When we get funds and support many young innovators, many more become hopeful
and engage in more research that leads into new innovations or inventions. Innovations lead to new products,
processes and services helping to grow economies and improve quality of living of our people. The Ministry
requires at least 100 Billion Shillings in FY 2021-22 to support many innovators across the country, however
the Ministry has a provision of only 10 Billion Shillings in the budget leaving a funding gap of 90 Billion
Shillings.
In December 2019, I was elected to chair for two years all Ministers in Africa responsible for Science and
Technology and those responsible for Education under the Specialized Technical Committee on Education
Science and Technology (STC-EST). Under this committee we resolved to establish the African Education,
Science and Technology Fund (AESTIF) with support from the African Development Fund which has so far
4
pledged 180 Million USD. Each country is now being asked to make a one-time contribution of USD 2
Million equivalent to 7.4 Billion Shillings. This will enable us to get much more in form of grants and loans
from this AESTIF.
3. Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC)
Kiira Motors like PIBID has been a pathfinder project pioneering the process of moving from academia to
industry and from an idea to a prototype to an innovative technology and product and is now struggling to
become a viable business. The opportunities to commercialize the Innovations at Kiira Motors Corporation
have never been brighter than now. As Government we need to as a matter of priority seize this moment and
make Ugandans proud through Kiira Motors the way we did it recently with Uganda Airlines. H.E recently
issued a directive stopping the importation of buses. Parliament also recently approved a loan request for
Government to borrow funds from the African Development Bank to support KCCA to among others procure
50 eco-buses (electric buses) which KMC should be able to produce. Furthermore, presently there is a
proposal for Kiira Motors to manufacture 1030 buses (980 Diesel and 50 Electric) by 31st December 2021
for the TDB (PTA Bank) supported project which when supported will boost the local automotive industry.
Hence the completion of the Kiira Assembly Plant and equipping it to be able to supply the above mentioned
off takers should be a top priority of both Parliament and the Executive acting on behalf of the People of
Uganda. This will not only help reduce on Uganda’s import bill for motor vehicles (currently standing at
USD 450 and only second to Petroleum products in hemorrhaging our hard earned foreign currency) but will
also strengthen our automotive industry with its attendant job and wealth creation potential. To achieve the
above, KMC requires extra funds amounting to Shs.141 Billion in FY 2021-22.
5. Commercialization of Sericulture Technologies and Innovations (the Silk Industry and Silk Textile
Research and Development). The project ultimate objective is to promote the development of Silk Industry
to create gainful employment and improved levels of income. In order to consolidate the gains and make the
project deliver on its target, the Project requires a budget of at least 24 Billion Shillings next financial year
2021/22. This is to ensure the target of increasing acreage of area under mulberry to over 50,000 acres and
production of a minimum of 2200 Metric tonnes of silk yarn annually is achieved in the next five years. This
production shall bring into our economy a minimum of USD100 million annually and create at least 150,000
jobs. It is also hoped that by the end of those 5 years, a viable company will be operational and will provide
initial public offer (IPO) on the Stock Exchange.
6. The National Space Programme including Satellite development
My Ministry has established high-level collaboration with Russia, Japan, South Africa and other countries to
in the area of space science and technology including satellite development. In line with this Uganda is
expected to launch its first satellite by December, 2022, construct a satellite station, train more space related
scientits and engineers as well as work on the legal and regulatory framework. Space science and technology
will benefit the Ugandan citizenry in regard to strengthening communications infrastructures, disaster
management, education, agriculture, environmental protection, natural resource management, defence and
security and this has enormous relevance for human development. We require 17.4 Billion Shillings in the
FY 2021-22.
7. Ministry Operations
The Ministry rents office premises at RUMME building, Lumumba Avenue at a cost of Shs. 2.9 Billion per
FY. In 2019 a ban on purchase of cars was imposed and the ministry despite being new was not able to
purchase vehicles, computers and furniture or partition offices for staff. The Ministry’s non-wage budget has
been 22 Billion Shillings over the past two years which has now been cut by 53 percent for the FY 2021/22.
5
The Ministry now has only Shs10bn to cater for rent, utilities, and running of activities for 13 departments
as well as meeting overhead costs. With this funding, the ministry will only be able to meet operational costs
and will not be able to support departments in performing their expected roles and functions. We need
additional resources of Shs. 12 Billion to re-instate the Non-Wage budget to at least Shs. 22 Billion. With
respect to the Development Budget, the Ministry excluding innovation Fund and transfers to agencies has
only Shs.0.37 Billion. There is need for an extra Shs. 8.39 Billion as development budget to cater for among
others re-tooling of the Ministry.
Rt Hon. Speaker substantial amount of resources are required to enable the Ministry deliver on the above key
priorities.
I therefore move that the 10th Parliament receives and considers the FY 2021/22 Program/Sector Outcomes and
Budget Estimates therein amounting to Shs. 269.78 Billion.

At the Advent of MMISDC, Uganda was hit by the COVID pandemic and the Uganda Industrial Research Institute proved its competence to mobilize local capacity into quality technology engagement. The Institute ably analyzed the required interventions to curb the spread of the Corona virus (COVID) and established a hub for the production of quality three layered facemasks. The mask product was studied in order to attain a standard with high proficiency in preventing the infection and adept in functionality with compliance to reuse among other benefits. The Mask project trained and employed our very own Ugandan male and female tailors, at a critical point when many were uncertain of the mode of infection as well as had lost their livelihood due to the lockdown. It also offered Ugandans access to first-class masks produced at rate of 1,000,000 masks per month. These were officially supplied to the Uganda Ministry of Health for distribution to the Ugandan citizens to enable them stay safe and protect themselves from the deadly COVID-19 Virus. UIRI went into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) to train different Groups of Urban Refugfees from DRC Congo, South Sudan and Rwanda.

The Paper Pilot Plant processed sugarcane bagasse (dry sugarcane pulp) into paper adding to the number of plant materials being utilized in the production of handmade paper. The Textile Unit capitalized on producing threads from cotton. This aimed at boosting the capacity of farmers to add value to cotton using a wooden manual spinning wheel. The Unit also produced silk threads extracted from the silk worm cocoons. Improvement of the ECGF Biomedical Device Following a successful year of piloting the Electrically Controlled Gravity Feed Infusion Set (ECGF), UIRI in 2020 started work on improving the device with the German African Innovation Incentive Award. The first workshop for this was held in June 2020. The goal of improving the ECGF is to commercialize it and gunner more support for scaling it up to be used in health centers and hospitals to save patient¶s lives. Adoption of the Mobile Diagnostic Device UIRI partnered with the University of Glasgow to rally the adoption of the mobile diagnostic device which would be vital in diagnosing diseases such as malaria. The University had a prototype and UIRI was designated to be the partner organization that produces more samples of the prototype and sends to other partners in countries such as Ghana. It is anticipated that a larger grant is to be released for this project in 2021. Production of Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Sanitizers To combat the COVID pandemic, UIRI placed emphasis on the production of sanitizers. Research Teams from the Microbiology & Biotechnology Labs worked extra hard to develop the following innovative products; - Non-alcoholic sanitizers for the comfort of citizens that distance themselves from alcohol because of religious, health beliefs or cultural restrictions regarding alcohol use. - Hand Gel that acts as a substitute of soap to enable the citizens wash their hands and stay safe from the COVID-19 virus. Alcoholic sanitizers were produced to meet the needs of all Ugandan citizens Announced that UIRI had been added to the official list of certified companies by UNBS to produce non-medical facemasks for the Ugandan citizens UIRI recruited the following enterprises into its Business Incubation Programme; Shama Confectionaries (Bakery); Nyumbani (Fish processing); Bambripa Innovation and Skilling Centre (Bamboo processing); Lisquick (Bamboo Processing) and KaCyber (IT). As COVID-19 reined, UIRI encouraged its incubatees and Trainees to get certification particularly those producing hygiene products. Amour Group Limited producers of Amour Sanitizers were certified and received the Quality Mark for its product, Spencer Holding Limited got the Quality Mark for its Farms Finest Beef Sausages UIRI was much honored to be a part of the development of the NRM Manifesto for the years 2021-2026. UIRI Staff and management were part of a bigger team of industrialists, scientists and researchers chosen by the President of Uganda, H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to develop the new NRM Manifesto that was science led and industrial based to push the country to its national; development Plan of middle income status. UIRI working with the Africa Agribusiness Incubation Network ± The institute provided office space for the AAIN secretariat. This was important to enable close working relationship for the realization of the 6th Africa agribusiness incubation conference and exhibition (AAICE) that was selected globally to take place in Uganda and in particular at UIRI¶s Machining, Manufacturing Industrial Skills Development Centre(MMISDC). UIRI also continues to work closely under the Memorandum of understanding with the Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) to skill communities and spread the word to encourage Ugandan citizens embrace industrialization. In this regard, the partnership held a Talk Show on Capital FM Radio where the Executive Director UIRI, Prof. Charles Kwesiga spoke about the Institute¶s establishment, activities, success and opportunities available for the Ugandan citizens. This led to more adverts and voice overs at the Radio station to keep the citizens informed about the Uganda Industrial Research Institute activities.
