H.E. Virginie Leroy, the Ambassador of @FrenchEmbassyUg, paid me a courtesy visit at Parliament yesterday at parliament. I was joined by Uganda’s Ambassador to France H.E Doreen Amule and the Clerk to Parliament Hon. Adolf Mwesige. We discussed the strong France–Uganda partnership, including support for rural electrification, water and electricity projects, and military cooperation. I thanked the Government of France for its continued support to the government and people of Uganda, and assured her that Parliament will fully support all bilateral cooperation initiatives agreed with the executive.

As we enter 2026, we reaffirm the strong friendship and growing cooperation between our two nations. 🇺🇬🤝🇫🇷 Together, we work to deepen dialogue, strengthen partnerships and build mutually beneficial opportunities. On my way, back to Uganda after ParisAmbConf26 📷 HappyNewYear!

«Le mois de la francophonie donne véritablement l'occasion de travailler ensemble autour d'un projet commun. Et c'est pour ça que beaucoup de choses vont se faire durant de ce mois spécifiquement.» ~Loic Boivin, Dir. @AFKampala #Frenchopendoors #MoisDeLaFrancophonieUg

On Monday, 23rd February 2026, the French Development Agency (AFD) and Uganda Development Bank (UDB) entered into a strategic partnership to further strengthen UDB’s mandate of providing long-term, patient capital to priority sectors of Uganda’s economy. Through an initial EUR 40 million credit line (UGX 169 billion), complemented by EUR 800,000 (UGX 3.38 billion) in technical assistance, the partnership will enhance UDB’s ability to catalyze sustainable and inclusive economic growth while expanding access to long-term development finance. The agreement was signed by Marc Trouyet, Country Director of AFD, and Dr. Patricia Ojangole, Managing Director of UDB, in the presence of H.E. Virginie Leroy, Ambassador of France to Uganda, at the UDB Tower in Kampala. Dr. Ojangole expressed gratitude to AFD for the trust and shared vision, noting that the funding will help address Uganda’s environmental and social challenges in a structured and measurable way. She emphasized improved access to finance for traditionally underserved populations, particularly youth and women, strengthening social inclusion, expanding economic participation, and reducing structural inequalities within the economy. The partnership aligns with the priorities of Uganda’s National Development Plan IV (NDP IV), which focuses on expanding access to economic resources and strengthening enterprise growth and competitiveness. The additional financing comes as UDB enters the second year of implementing its new strategy, expanding its role beyond credit provision to include structuring transactions, offering advisory services, and crowding-in development finance from local and international partners to support investments across the country. “For us as a development finance institution, access to concessional and strategic funding is not merely about liquidity. It is about leverage; leveraging the funds mobilized into measurable economic impact,” Dr. Ojangole noted. The line of credit will expand UDB’s capacity to finance transformative projects that create jobs, deepen industrialization, support SMEs, advance infrastructure, and drive inclusive and sustainable growth. H.E. Virginie Leroy highlighted that the partnership reflects France’s support to Uganda in implementing the Tenfold Growth Strategy, particularly in the ATMS sectors, and advancing Uganda’s ambition to become a Middle-Income Country by harnessing the potential of agriculture and agribusiness. She further announced that a business forum will be held during the Africa Forward Summit under the joint invitation of President Emmanuel Macron and President William Ruto in Nairobi on May 11th and 12th, focusing on Agriculture, Green Industrialization, Energy, Logistics, Digital Economy, and Health, while also addressing reform of the international financial system and macroeconomic imbalances. AFD emphasized its confidence that the partnership will deliver social impacts through increased financial inclusion for women and youth-led businesses; economic impacts by strengthening agricultural actors such as SACCOs and agribusinesses; and climate impacts through the promotion of climate-smart agriculture and climate-resilient infrastructure. @AFD_en @VLJMLeroy @PannetierOlivi1 @TheMugisa
