@StatisticsUg has now a harmonised data portal that the public can use without visiting the bureau. Data use now should for sure increase and not be misused. @EPRC_official @EBirabwa @ikasirye_ug @UN

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.

[Elizabeth Birabwa @EBirabwa]

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

[EPRC @EPRC_official]

Why has informality persisted in Uganda? We are hosting a policy dialogue on the issue, that government of Uganda says is one of the development challenges it faces. Watch the discussion here: https://t.co/zBdRucjq75

@mguloba1 @EPRC_official @alonmwesigwa @ikasirye_ug What strategies should I use now for my individual kafunda projects?

[Elizabeth Birabwa @EBirabwa]

@InkuGwa @mguloba1 @EPRC_official @alonmwesigwa @ikasirye_ug It was strategic so that the money can be increased to achieve greater motivation to win

[Elizabeth Birabwa @EBirabwa]

This is just the beginning! We are ready to partner, scale, and build lasting solutions for Uganda's youth. Thank you @DrAkanimoOdon for equipping us to dream bigger and deliver "monie".
