Uganda
Republic of Uganda
Uganda is an East African economy with strong agricultural foundations and emerging oil and gas potential. The country's Lake Albert oil fields (operated by TotalEnergies and CNOOC) and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) to Tanzania's Tanga port represent transformative investments expected to begin production soon.
Agriculture employs approximately 70% of the population, with coffee as the primary export commodity (Africa's largest exporter of robusta coffee). The services sector, particularly financial services and telecoms, has grown significantly. Kampala is emerging as a startup hub with companies like SafeBoda and Tugende.
Challenges include high youth unemployment, infrastructure gaps, and governance concerns. Uganda benefits from EAC membership providing access to a 300+ million person market.
