We should bear in mind that Uganda is home to approximately 4.5M women aged 16-24, almost 10% of the country’s entire population. These transitional years carry outsized importance in shaping young women’s life trajectories.

Expanding financial inclusion for young women is not simply about fairness; it is about unlocking talent, strengthening resilience, fostering entrepreneurship, and accelerating inclusive economic growth.

Financial inclusion among young women in Uganda has grown significantly, driven largely by mobile money. But access alone isn’t enough.

A new study shows that millions of young women still face barriers to saving, borrowing, investing, and building financial resilience.

Today I’ll be sharing key insights on what it will take to deepen financial inclusion and unlock greater economic opportunities for young women.

Good morning change-makers!

Uganda has roughly 4.5 million young women aged 16-24 — almost 10% of our entire population. These are the make-or-break years that shape their futures, their families, and generations after them.
New research from @fsduganda under the YUWFI initiative looks closely at how these young women are accessing and using financial services. The picture is hopeful in some places… and honest about the gaps in others.

Some opportunities don’t come because people are not talented enough. Sometimes, it’s because nobody knows they exist

At the policy level, we will institutionalize these learnings and work to remove binding constraints, strengthen regulation, and improve access to markets. We must proactively build resilience and avoid reacting only to crises.

In closing, I would like to express my gratitude to all participants for their valuable contributions and insights.

Key challenges in linking credit to employment and ensuring equitable access:

- Only 19% of MSE owners agreed that loans contributed to hiring decisions (44% disagreed).

- 85% cited high interest rates; 42% lacked collateral; 27% faced complex application processes.

- 52% reported digital adoption barriers, including poor connectivity and limited skills.

- Refugee and PWD‑led enterprises started from lower profit baselines and expressed lower satisfaction with loan features.
