Acholi Engines

Engine-powered machines have become a cornerstone of economic and social development in the Acholi sub-region of Northern Uganda. From motorbikes ("boda bodas") to tractors and irrigation pumps, engines drive essential activities in transportation, agriculture, and small-scale industries. Boda bodas, powered by small petrol engines, dominate rural and urban mobility, connecting communities to markets, healthcare, and education. In agriculture, diesel-powered tractors and irrigation pumps have revolutionized farming, allowing farmers to cultivate larger areas, improve crop yields, and mitigate the effects of unpredictable rainfall.

Acholi planes

The dream of Acholi-made planes represents a bold step toward establishing aerospace manufacturing and engineering excellence in Acholiland. With Africa’s growing demand for regional aircraft, military aviation, and cargo transport, Acholi planes can fill a critical market gap by offering cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and durable aircraft designed for local and international markets. By integrating advanced materials, hybrid propulsion systems, and smart avionics, Acholiland has the potential to compete with global aircraft manufacturers while creating a self-sufficient aviation industry.
