BRT Kampala
In August 2008 the World Bank requested that ITDP Europe organise, coordinate, and accompany a 9-day study tour of a Ugandan delegation to Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Bogota and Pereira (Columbia) and New York (U.S.A.).

- Access control to the Central Business District through improved parking management.
