SUMMARY

After 14 years of remarkable political and economic development, Uganda is positioned to become one of the most attractive business locations in eastern and southern Africa. The country offers a wide range of investment opportunities in mining, agriculture and fishing. Linked to almost all of the primary-sector industries are opportunities in upstream and downstream manufacturing activities. In addition, the extensive privatization programme of the Government has opened up industries that were formerly closed to the private sector, particularly in the infrastructure sector. The Government has pursued a steady policy of improving the business climate by reducing bureaucracy, streamlining the legal framework, fighting corruption and stabilizing the economy. Although Uganda is still a very poor country and this will not change in the immediate future, with almost unparalleled dynamism and a track record of stability, the Ugandan economy is bound to remain one of the most positive examples of successful development in Africa
