Abstract:
Infrastructure is generally seen as the fulcrum on which human and national development resolves, as the advancement of any human race and nation state is judged by its level of infrastructural development. For the existence of the total man, the importance of infrastructure cannot be overemphasis. This paper discusses the factors affecting the provision, management and maintenance of infrastructure in Uganda. It suggests ways by which the yawning gaps in infrastructure deficits could be closed. It is proposed that STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), good governance and adequate funding of infrastructure should be given top priority. It also advocates that adequate recognitions and acceptance of Engineering Personnel as drivers of Engineering based organization, programmes, and establishment should be unequivocally embraced.
