Weather…

Kapeeka Industrial Park, officially known as the Liao Shen Industrial Park, is located in the Nakaseke District approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Kampala. The facility was inaugurated in 2018 as part of a strategic partnership between Uganda and China's Liaoning Province. Spanning an area of about 600 hectares, the park houses numerous manufacturing plants focusing on the production of ceramic tiles, electrical appliances, textiles, and processed foods. The project is a central component of Uganda's industrialization strategy, aimed at reducing import dependency and creating thousands of local jobs for the population. The infrastructure includes modern factory halls, a dedicated power supply, and staff housing units. By establishing heavy industry in a formerly purely agricultural region, the park has fundamentally transformed the local economy and boosted regional development.
