and the nurturing of a globally competitive

To develop a new generation of dynamic Ugandan
entrepreneurs by actively providing support

Uganda Foundation Limited (EUg) is public-private
institution designed to support the government
in realizing its objective of promoting the
development of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises

production, providing sustainable jobs and

and comprehensive range of business support
services for SMEs using a hands-on approach.
