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.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
