}}Malaba, Uganda is a town in Tororo District in the Eastern Region of Uganda, on its eastern border with Kenya. It sits adjacent from Malaba, Kenya, across the Malaba River that marks the border between Uganda and Kenya.[2]

Location

The town is on the main highway between Kampala and Nairobi, about {{convert|14|km|0}} east of Tororo, the nearest large town and the location of the district headquarters.[3] This is approximately {{convert|215|km|mi}}, by road, east of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[4] The coordinates of the town are 0°38'40.0"N, 34°15'38.0"E (Latitude:0.644444; Longitude:34.260556).[5]

Overview

Malaba is a busy crossing point between Uganda and Kenya. In 2013, it was the second-busiest border crossing between Uganda and Kenya, based on the volume of informal exports and imports.[6]

Uganda Border Towns' Market Share of Crossborder Informal Trade with Kenya in 2013

2 Malaba 9.6% 21.1%
3 Suam 3.6% 4.9%
4 Lwakhakha 1.4% 4.9%

Population

The national census in 2002 estimated the population of the town at 7,600. In 2010, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) estimated the population at 9,200. In 2011, UBOS estimated the population at 9,500.[7] During the 2014 national population census, the population was enumerated at 18,224.[8]

One stop border crossing

In February 2015, work was completed on the one stop border post at Malaba, Uganda. The new building contains offices of the Uganda Revenue Authority, Uganda Customs, and Uganda Immigration Services. In these offices, Ugandan officers are joined by their counterparts from Kenya to clear customers who are exiting Uganda to enter Kenya. In a similar building, with similar provisions, on the Kenyan side, officers from both countries clear travelers leaving Kenya to enter Uganda.[9] This eases border formalities and reduces waiting times for travelers.

The project was funded by the World Bank, TradeMark East Africa, and the east African governments. The building at Malaba, Uganda cost UGX:15 billion. Similar arrangements have been mad at the Busia, Mutukula, Mirama Hills, Katuna, and Elegu border posts.[9]
