The West Nile Sub-region, located about 450 kilometres from Kampala, is the heart of business for neighbouring South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) and Central African Republic (CAR).
As a result, more than 500 trucks loaded with goods, pass through Goli, Padea and Vurra border posts from Uganda destined for DR Congo.
The situation is similar at Oraba, Afoji and Elegu border posts where hundreds of trucks cross to South Sudan and CAR daily.
The trucks are loaded with manufactured goods, agricultural and forest products, beverages and petroleum, among others.
The sub-region is endowed with raw materials ranging from agricultural produce and minerals to fish products that could be raw materials for factories once established.
