The other driver of informality of businesses in 🇺🇬 at the #BizFormal2025 is the low savings culture. @urbra_ceo says it is partly due to inconsistent earnings but interventions are being put in place to address the savings culture.
At the #BizFormal2025 hosted by @EPRC_official to discuss why informality persists in Uganda and one of the reasons highlighted by @kacita_uganda is the manner in which sensitisation is done by @URAuganda where sessions are not segmented to meet the needs of specific businesses
