ProjectFactsheetIncreasing Public and Private Investments in Agriculture and Agribusiness Sectors of Uganda - GCP/UGA/058/EC 2025
Also available in:
No results found.In Uganda, access to finance is a critical bottleneck for the private sector, namely agribusinesses and cooperatives, where just 49 percent of the population utilize formal financial services in the rural areas of the country. Value chain actors face constraints to access equity, working capital, terms loans, lease, or receivables. In this context, Uganda Development Bank (UDB), the country’s national Development Finance Institution, with a mandate to accelerate socioeconomic development in Uganda through sustainable financial interventions, provides funding for the agriculture and agroprocessing sector. However, UDB faces challenges in agriculture banking, including high transaction costs, inherent and perceived sectoral high risks, as well as having limited options of geographic enlargement for expanding its agriculture portfolio, among other things. This European Union-funded project aimed to increase public and private investments in the agriculture and agribusiness sectors of Uganda, through enhanced capacity of the UDB and public-private policy dialogue. -
