UNCTAD has been assisting Uganda’s Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development with targeted interventions in the implementation of its Informality Management for Compliance and Revenue Mobilization (IMCORE) programme. 

As a follow-up to a first series of activities aimed at strengthening the capacity of selected Ugandan MSMEs on accounting and reporting issues, UNCTAD and Enterprise Uganda – which hosts the Empretec programme in the country – are preparing targeted entrepreneurship capacity-building activities for MSMEs further to the Ministry’s request.

A group of 100 local entrepreneurs will benefit from an attitudinal and mindset transformational tool for empowering micro and small entrepreneurs called the Business and Enterprise Start-up Tool (BEST) workshop. 

The workshop will serve as preparatory training for a group of selected entrepreneurs who will attend the Empretec Entrepreneurship Training Workshop in January 2025.
