Uganda, Italy Expand Cooperation

Uganda and Italy expanded cooperation through two major agreements focusing on private sector growth and coffee industry development. Italy committed €1.7 million to support Ugandan entrepreneurs via a UNIDO-led capacity-building project. Separately, Uganda secured a €120 million concessional loan from the Italian Climate Fund to strengthen climate resilience in coffee production. Both initiatives aim to enhance value addition, create jobs, and align with broader strategies for sustainable development and international trade.
