In 2001, the Chinese Government committed $3,805,345.12 in grant funding for the refurbishment of the Mandela National Stadium.

Through this project, the main athletics track was resealed and marked; tartan was laid on the training track that was previously tarmacked; a new multi-purpose scoreboard was fitted; a better public address system was fixed; and security lighting outside the stadium was repaired.

The stadium was handed over to the Ugandan government on April 17, 2011.
