Uganda’s oil story is already delivering economic opportunities, even before the first barrel reaches the market. With investments exceeding Shs57.4 trillion (US$14 billion), the country’s petroleum sector is emerging as a significant engine of employment, enterprise development and economic activity.

According to Michael Otonga Ochan, Acting Executive Director of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (@PAU_Uganda), the sector had employed 22,234 people by June 30, 2026, with 18,958 being Ugandans, representing 85 per cent of the workforce. This means thousands of Ugandans are already earning incomes through opportunities created by the industry.

Local businesses are also securing a share of the emerging oil economy. Of the US$7.6 billion in approved Tier One contracts, US$2.3 billion, representing 30 per cent, has been awarded to Ugandan companies. These opportunities span transport, catering, accommodation, equipment supply, construction and other services.

The figures were presented on November 11 at the Fourth Annual National Conference for Civil Society Organisations and NGOs in the oil and gas sector at Mestil Hotel, Kampala.

While the progress is significant, the opportunity ahead is even greater. Strengthening local businesses to compete for more contracts, expanding skills development and ensuring responsible resource management will be critical.

Uganda’s oil wealth must ultimately be measured not only in barrels produced, but in Ugandan businesses built, jobs created, household incomes improved and livelihoods transformed.

Through the Directorate of Value Addition and Manufacturing, we continue to strengthen engagement with cooperative enterprises as part of its efforts to accelerate agricultural commercialization, promote value addition and drive wealth creation.

This was the focus of a strategic engagement with cooperative leaders from nine districts, held at our Headquarters in Kamwokya under the theme “Common Roadmap to Financial Freedom.” The meeting provided a platform to explore practical interventions for strengthening cooperatives, improving enterprise management and building sustainable agricultural value chains.

Addressing the participants, Mr. Mukasa Lawrence Kiggundu, Head of the Department of Post-Harvest Management at OWC, emphasized the need to transition from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture. He highlighted financial discipline, effective enterprise management, strategic investment, cash flow management and capital efficiency as critical foundations for sustainable enterprise growth and financial independence.

The cooperative leaders, representing areas including Greater Masaka and Central Buganda, particularly Kayunga and Mukono, presented their enterprise portfolios and identified opportunities for direct collaboration with OWC, particularly in post-harvest management, value addition and agro processing.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives (@mtic_uganda ), represented by Mr. Agaba Stephenson, Assistant Commissioner, together with District Commercial Officers from Kibaale and Lwengo and Ms. Nantege Winfred, Fisheries Officer from Mukono District, provided technical guidance on cooperative development and alignment with national regulatory and trade standards.

The cooperative leaders commended OWC's grassroots presence and community mobilization structures, while appreciating the socio economic transformation initiatives championed by H.E. the President and the Government.

OWC remains committed to working with cooperatives and other strategic partners to unlock the productive potential of Uganda's agricultural sector, strengthen value chains and transform production into sustainable enterprise, increased household incomes and national wealth.

The engagement was attended by OWC Directors, Heads of Departments, Staff Officers, cooperative leaders, technical officers and other stakeholders.

Uganda’s coffee industry must move beyond exporting raw beans to processing, roasting, packaging and marketing premium Ugandan coffee to global markets. With continued investor confidence from leaders like Mr. Nicolas A. Tamari, CEO of Sucafina, and plans to expand investment in value addition through @UgCoffeeGroup , Uganda is poised to unlock greater opportunities in the coffee sector. This transformation will create jobs, increase export earnings, improve farmers’ incomes and position Uganda as a global powerhouse in value-added coffee. From Ugandan soil to the world’s finest coffee markets!
