Overview
During the first decade of the 21st century, educational institutions such as the Mutundwe Campus of Kampala University have been added to the neighborhood.
The Mutundwe Power Station, a 50 megawatt thermal power plant, was dismantled in 2011, but the Mutundwe electricity sub-station, where the power plant was located, still exists. This sub-station is a major transit point for power evacuated from the hydropower stations along the Nile River before it is transmitted to Entebbe, Masaka, and the Western Region.
Parts of Mutundwe Hill lie in Lubaga Division, within the city of Kampala, Uganda's capital. Other parts lie in the newly created town of Ssabagabo in Wakiso District. Still other parts of the hill lie within unincorporated Wakiso District.
