(Independent-Uganda) Ronald Musoke - Israel is one of the major contributors to Uganda's national security and intelligence. Israeli companies are also heavily involved in agriculture, water management, and health. Israel hosts up to 200 Ugandan undergraduate agriculture students every year who learn modern agricultural skills. The most visible Israeli firm in Uganda is Solel Boneh International (SBI) which has constructed some of Uganda's modern highways. SBI is also working on the 3,000-housing-unit project at Lubowa, just outside Kampala. SBI also built Entebbe International Airport and played a key role in Israel's 1976 hostage rescue mission by providing blueprints of the airport to the rescuers.
