1. Rwenshama Landing Site
A year ago, Rwenshama, a landing site on the shores of Lake Edward, Uganda, was just like any other village landing site – boats all over the many landing spots on the lake shore, fishermen and brokers huddled besides the boats spread across the lake shores in the hot sun, with hordes of onlookers watching the spectacle of price negotiations. Piles of fish could be seen, either on a sack or spread on the sandy ground. At that time, the modern integrated landing site was still under construction.
By June 2021, the landing site had undergone complete transformation. The modern fish landing and processing facility was complete and in use. The solar powered potable water supply system, and the ‘ecosan’ sanitation facility were also complete. And so was the administration block which houses the Fisheries Officer as well as the Fisheries Protection Unit. Two privately run mobile money kiosks had opened shop inside the facility to take advantage of the booming commercial activities taking place at the landing site. “The only facilities not yet in use are the sun drying facilities and modern fish smoking kilns, which will be operational soon,” Mr. Richard Rugadya, the National Fisheries Officer for the project in Uganda explained.
