The SGR extension is expected to yield several positive economic impacts. Enhanced transportation capabilities will facilitate regional trade by providing faster cargo movement. The construction and operational phases are anticipated to create numerous job opportunities for local communities. Transitioning from road transport to rail is expected to lower costs associated with transportation and road maintenance while also reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, improved access to tourist destinations such as Lake Victoria will likely stimulate tourism.
