Uganda has emerged as the best investment destination in East Africa, beating six other nations during a global investors award ceremony in Abu Dhabi on Monday.

KAMPALA, UGANDA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Uganda has been named the best investment destination in East Africa, beating six other nations, during a global investors awarding ceremony held in Abu Dhabi on Monday.

The country’s investment authority was awarded the gold award for attracting the best investment project in 2022 during the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) 2023. AIM is a leading platform for investors from around the world, with over 170 countries taking part in exhibitions and lobbying investments.

Uganda Investment Authority (UIA), one of the agencies representing the country at the meeting, called the development a “big win.”

This comes as Uganda intensifies its appeal to international investors, with President Museveni rallying investors from across the world to invest in Uganda’s virgin areas such as the mineral and agricultural sectors.

UIA and other officials from the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Uganda Export Promotions Board, and Uganda Free Zones Authority attended the event, which is held under the theme “The Investment Paradigm Shift: Future Investment Opportunities to Foster Sustainable Economic Growth, Diversity, and Prosperity.”

Welcoming the award, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement emphasizing the importance of the top ranking in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), technology transfer, and promoting the country’s exports and tourism.

Ms. Evelyn Anite, State Minister for Finance in charge of Investment and Privatisation, tweeted, “Congratulations team, we did it for Uganda. This only means more factories and jobs for Uganda and Ugandans.”
