The KAPATU ERUPE Presidential Initiative is a 50-year Master Plan (2026-2076) strategic project under the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences of KAPATU, aimed at providing bulk water to every Ere (Homestead), Awii (Kraal) and Elain (Trading Centre) in Karamoja Sub-region. It intends to pick water from Lake Bisina in Teso to Karamoja, covering a distance of over 120 kilometres.
His Excellency, the President of Uganda and Founding Chancellor of KAPATU, spearheads the project alongside nine other members of KAPATU Strategic Leadership.
The project is estimated to cost between USD 200 million and 600 million, and it is scheduled to commence in November 2025. The significance of this project lies in the fact that it will be the first time Karamoja has a sure, secure and reliable source of water, promoting development in the region.
