Peace, security, governance and institutional strengthening
Uganda’s Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV, 2025/26–2029/30) and the Tenfold Growth Strategy place peace, security, governance, and institutional strengthening at the heart of economic transformation. Sustainable industrialization, inclusive growth, and wealth creation depend on a stable environment where communities feel secure, institutions are trusted and governance is transparent. Without these foundations, investment and productivity cannot be sustained.
Revenue Mobilisation
Revenue mobilization is the financial backbone of Uganda’s NDP IV and the 10-fold Growth Strategy. To achieve the double-digit growth targets required for the 2025–2030 period, government aims to increase the tax-to-GDP ratio from approximately 14% to 20%. This shift is designed to create a self-sustaining fiscal environment, reducing debt dependency while funding critical ATMS sectors—Agro-industrialization, Tourism, Mineral development, and Science/Technology, which are the primary drivers of the upcoming development cycle.
Land Administration
Land administration provides the legal certainty required to de-risk investments. By securing tenure, the government aims to unlock the dead capital held in unregistered land, allowing it to be used as collateral for credit—a necessity for the double-digit GDP growth (targeting 10.1% by 2030) envisioned in NDPIV. Effective land governance directly reduces the cost of doing business by mitigating land-related conflicts, which previously accounted for significant delays in infrastructure projects and commercial agriculture.
Science, Technology and Innovation (STI)
The government views STI not merely as a standalone sector but as a cross-cutting growth accelerator that will drive double-digit growth by transitioning Uganda into a knowledge-based economy, thereby increasing national competitiveness and total factor productivity.
Oil and Gas
The Oil and Gas industry with an estimated investment exceeding US$20 billion provides Uganda with a unique opportunity to accelerate industrialization, infrastructure development and energy security. Beyond resource extraction, it mobilizes capital into infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy generation, while anchoring Uganda’s industrialization agenda.
Private Sector Development
Private Sector Development (PSD) is positioned as the engine of Uganda’s Fourth National Development Plan and the 10-Fold Growth Strategy, with government reforms already laying the foundation for industrialization, job creation, and full monetization of the economy. Current statistics show Uganda’s private sector contributes over 80% of GDP and employs more than 90% of the labor force, making it indispensable for achieving the ambitious growth targets. Uganda’s NDP IV emphasizes sustainable industrialization for inclusive growth, employment, and wealth creation.
