REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS UNDER OPEN BIDDING

Referenced: MPIGI 897/SRVCS/2025-2026/002

Mpigi District Local Government has secured funds from the World Bank under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Development Grant (MDG) to support Urban resilience, climate change/disaster risk management, and Environmental and Social Impact Management activities. Using the Grant, the District is undertaking infrastructure development projects aimed at improving transport connectivity and supporting socio-economic growth, including works along the Mpigi-Muduma Road. While such developments bring important benefits, they may also result in loss of the few existing green spaces along the project area. In order to offset these losses and promote environmental sustainability, Mpigi District Local Government intends to establish a Green Park within the Lufuka-Mpanga Central Forest Reserve as a compensatory environmental measure.

The proposed Green Park is expected to enhance ecological restoration, provide recreational and educational opportunities, support eco-tourism, and improve the overall environmental quality of the district while safeguarding the integrity of the forest ecosystem.
