Sweden steps in to support Uganda’s economic ambitions

In a bold move to boost trade and tackle persistent non-tariff barriers, Sweden is stepping in to support Uganda’s economic ambitions. Through a new $15 million initiative dubbed the Swedish Initiative for Facilitating Trade in Africa, backed by TradeMark Africa, the program aims to make cross-border trade faster, cheaper, and smarter. As Uganda’s exports hit $9.1 billion, the spotlight is now on building efficient systems that can sustain this growth.
