The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) approved the second phase of Uganda’s Local Economic Growth Support Project after reviewing strong phase one results. The bank praised Uganda’s effective implementation, which improved rural infrastructure, supported small enterprises, and expanded market access in 17 districts. Phase two will start in 2026 and extend to 55 districts, focusing on climate resilience, women and youth empowerment, inclusive participation, and stronger agricultural value chains. Government officials said the expansion aligns with national development goals.
