Uganda and the World Bank Launch a Ten-Year Strategy to Create Employment and Boost Prosperity

The World Bank Group's Board of Executive Directors has endorsed a new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Uganda for 2026-2035. The ten-year strategy aims to accelerate private sector-led economic transformation and create jobs for the 600,000–700,000 young people entering the labor market each year. The CPF, aligned with Uganda's Vision 2040, focuses on four outcomes: strengthened economic governance, healthier and better-skilled people, better-connected communities, and a more productive and inclusive private sector. The World Bank will coordinate IDA financing, IFC investments, and MIGA guarantees under a 'One WBG' approach.
