. @URSBHQ has urged entrepreneurs, traders, youth, and SACCOs to utilize movable assets and intellectual property as collateral to access affordable credit.
Speaking at the Security Interest in Movable Property (SIMPO) sensitisation workshop in Mbarara, the Registrar General Ms. Mercy K. Kainobwisho said government introduced the Security Interest in Movable Property framework to support people without traditional assets like land. Assets such as phones, laptops, stock, jewelry, and farm produce can now be used to secure loans.
Ms. Kainobwisho also noted that URSB has sensitized financial institutions and lenders across the country to promote financial inclusion and support business growth. Uganda’s legal framework also allows intellectual property such as music, books, and innovations to be used as collateral for credit.

UPDATE: The Batwa, along with the Bakiga of Ruhija and Mpungu in Kanungu District, traveled over 500 km to showcase their traditional medicine and plant knowledge during World Wildlife Day in Entebbe. #NTVNews
Once indigenous to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the Batwa were relocated in 1991 when the forest became a national park. They now live near the park and, through their organization Change A Life-Bwindi, work to preserve their ancestral knowledge and support their community.
