The Works Department comprises of Roads, Water, mechanical, Electrical and Housing sectors which are basically mandated to handle issues of infrastructure Development in the District. The national roads are developed and maintained by Uganda National Roads Authority under the Ministry of Works and Transport. The District Local Government maintains district roads while Community access roads are the responsibility of the Lower Local Governments.

Roads

The District has a total road network of 1013 km. This network is divided into three major categories. Truck roads, are under the Ministry of Works and Transport/Uganda National Roads Authority, while the District is responsible for the feeder roads and the sub counties are responsible for the community access roads. Manafwa District has three topographical features i.e. rugged mountain relief in the north and northeast, rolling terrain in the central and south and flat terrain in the South Western part. These features have significant bearing on the sustainability of the road sector as it impact greatly on the cost of road construction and maintenance.

 

The Objective of the road sector is to make 70% of road network motorable
