Overview[edit]

The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), was established in 2011, replacing the defunct Kampala City Council (KCC). During the first three years the leaders of the new KCCA and of the Central division, have focused on improving sanitation and garbage disposal, preserving the environment and enforcing existing building and zoning laws.[2] Having made progress during the first three years, the KCCA leadership is expected to shift focus to the repair and widening of the roadways and streets in the division, as well as decongesting the city center.[3]
