Italy and Uganda have signed a three-year cooperation agreement in Kampala to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through training and international collaboration. The €1.7 million project, funded by Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, aligns with the Mattei Plan, the EU Global Gateway, and Uganda’s national development goals. It seeks to enhance SME competitiveness, innovation, and participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area.
