National Processes | Uganda

In Uganda, a process to establish a Start-Up Act has been initiated by the government together with the startup ecosystem. After training ecosystem enablers in Uganda, Startup Uganda continued to push for a startup act process. In October 2022 a workshop was held with the Cabinet Secretariat and the ecosystem with the aim to reach a common understanding about startups, innovation hubs, and the main challenges the ecosystem faced. During this workshop we shared the rationale for pushing entrepreneurship policies and lessons learned from other countries. A number of change-makers from the Ugandan entrepreneurial ecosystem have been part of our Entrepreneurship Policy Learning Series.
