Minerals, oil and gas
Uganda is endowed with several natural resources which are commercially viable. The contribution of mineral development in the country is critical in expanding product development and import replacement. The minerals sub sector’s contribution to GDP steadily improved from 1.1 percent in FY 2015/16 to 1.4 percent in FY 2018/19. Over the NDP II period, Government has prioritized investment in the discovery, exploitation and development of the natural resources for the betterment of the people and improving the country’s competitiveness.
