Foreword from the MD, KIS Ltd

On my behalf and the Board of Kalangala Infrastructure Services Ltd (“KIS”), I take this opportunity to thank all our esteemed customers (especially the Buggala Island community) for consuming our services. Through its strategic investments, KIS has greatly contributed to social economic development and transformation in Kalangala District by providing vital infrastructure amenities to Bugala Island under a Private Public Partnership with the Government of Uganda (GOU). KIS aims to improve the social and economic life of the residents and visitors on Island through the provision of world-class ferry services, power and clean water supply while constantly ensuring all stakeholder expectations are met.

As an electricity utility company, KIS is licensed to generate, transmit and supply electricity to customers on Buggala Island. As a water Authority, KIS is licensed to distribute clean water to customers on Buggala Island. As a transport service entity, KIS is licensed to provide ferry services between Luuku on Buggala Island and Bukakata on the mainland. Additionally, KIS upgraded the Main Island Road measuring 67km, from a dirt road to a class B gravel road. Without a doubt, it is the daily consumption of services and use of our facilities by our esteemed customers on the Island that makes our efforts worthwhile. My dedicated team of professionals and I pledge always to do our best to listen to you to improve or extend our services to the extent expected, demanded and feasible.

KIS is owned by InfraCo Africa Ltd and Uganda Development Corporation Ltd (UDC) with additional financing provided by the Industrial Development Company of South Africa (IDC), Nedbank, Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF), and Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and is Uganda’s first multi-sectoral Infrastructure Company.
