Humphrey Asiimwe: In order for Ugandan companies, or anyone, to get involved in the sector, the first step is to register on the National Supplier Database of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda.

Humphrey Asiimwe: Once you register, when these opportunities come up, you may receive an email inviting you to submit a bid. In some cases, you may also need to check the websites of the Uganda National Oil Company for updates.

we’re building a resilient, “Made in Africa” extractives ecosystem.
💡 Local content is not policy—it’s economic empowerment.

🇺🇬 Uganda taking center stage at #ZIMEC2026 🇿🇲
Proud to share Uganda’s approach to resource-led transformation—driven by strong local content, SME growth, skills development & in-country value addition.
Through a National → Regional → Continental model.

🇺🇬 Uganda Taking Center Stage at ZIMEC 2026 🇿🇲

At the Zambia International Mining and Energy Conference #ZIMEC with Support from @UGHighCommDAR Uganda’s commitment to resource-led transformation was on full display. During the Local Content and Beneficiation Panel, the CEO @humfas of the Uganda Chamber of Energy and Minerals (UCEM) delivered a masterclass on how intentional policy creates industrial reality.

Our CEO articulated Uganda’s strategic roadmap for ensuring that the extractives sector serves as an engine for national development, focusing on:

* Meaningful Participation: Moving beyond "check-the-box" compliance to ensure local companies hold high-value roles in the supply chain.
* SME Scalability: Creating the financial and regulatory environment for small businesses to grow into sustainable industrial players.
* Human Capital: Investing in world-class skills to ensure a competent, future-ready national workforce.
* In-Country Value Addition: Transitioning from raw material exports to sophisticated industrial processing.

🌍 A key highlight of the discussion was the push for a Tiered Local Content Policy a new vision of local content, a framework that positions Uganda not just as a national success story, but as a regional and continental powerhouse.
* National First: Prioritizing Ugandan citizens and businesses to secure the domestic foundation.
* Regional Next: Opening doors for East African partners to build integrated, resilient supply chains.
* Continental Always: Leveraging the AfCFTA to ensure Africa retains the maximum share of its resource wealth.

By championing this National → Regional → Continental approach, Uganda is leading the charge in breaking down trade barriers and fostering a "Made in Africa" energy and mining ecosystem.

💡 The Bottom Line is that Local Content is more than a policy, it is a commitment to empowering people and ensuring that natural resources translate into tangible economic dignity for every citizen.
