   Sudharshan Canagarajah, the World Bank's senior country economist for Uganda, told The EastAfrican that they would hold discussions with the government on how to smoothly implement the export processing zones (EPZs). He said the donors were aware that implementing the industrial zones would not be easy.
   
   "There will be start-up costs and the country will need capacity to handle the programme. If the Uganda Investment Authority, which does not get many requests, is still struggling to cope, then, with the industrial zones, which could get 10 times more requests, you need institutions and capacity," he said.
   
   Most countries give corporate tax exemptions of five years to companies in export promotion zones, but Uganda has offered a 10-year holiday. Officials said, however, that since this was the first time and Uganda was a landlocked country with defective utilities and poor infrastructure, it needed to offer attractive incentives in order to attract investors.
   
   Mr Canagarajah said the Finance Ministry planned to give incentives to some firms that were not located in the industrial zones, which could potentially open the programme to abuse.
