Prioritizing
Export-oriented
Growth

Adopting import substitution that hinges on
export-oriented industrialization not only improves
competitiveness of the economy but also reduces
Uganda's dependency on developed countries

Our role is to coordinate and facilitate research, development,
technology transfer, and commercialization of innovations
targeting domestic production of goods and services, to reduce
dependence on importation, and boost the value of exports
while deepening value addition in the country
