On the way to Lake Katwe, we stopped at the new Equator Monument, designed by Eric Prince Ondia, who won the Joadah Innovation Challenge under the category ‘Best Equator Monument.’ The new monument is made of stainless steel and ‘elegantly showcases the globe with the equator line prominently dividing it.’ Many challenges were faced during the construction of the new Kasese Equator Monument. Initially promised to be completed within six months, the project extended to nearly five years.
