@URA_CG Great engaging with you, CG. Regional trade pressures demand systemic reform. By tackling growing volumes, node delays, and manual hurdles, we can build a Smart Corridor that is not just about automation - one that is moving to a predictable, digital-first trade ecosystem.
Strengthening regional trade competitiveness requires smarter systems, collaboration, and integrated customs operations.
I engaged with Eric Sirali and his TradeMark Africa team on modernising Uganda's trade corridors, improving cargo visibility, and making cross-border trade more seamless.
URA remains committed to technology, strategic partnerships, and data-driven solutions that strengthen revenue administration and facilitate legitimate trade.
