Redevelopment of Kiyindi Waterfront.

Abstract

Kiyindi has a landing site which is among the 52 designated landing sites in Buikwe district. Kiyindi gets its name from the owner of the land called Kiyindiru who donated it to one of the Kabakas of Buganda while he was on Buvuma island. The name was later cut short to Kiyindi. Formerly a local boat docking point, it was designated as a fish landing site in Najja subcounty in 2000 by the Fish Act of Uganda (Cap 197). Kiyindi waterfront has a resident population of around 11,000 people most of whom are involved in fishing activities.
