Wealth creation through SACCOs and cooperatives is transforming communities. Great to hand over a truck to Kimika Kikwata Coffee Farmers Cooperative with 411 coffee farmers. “The truck will connect us to larger markets and cut down the high transportation costs we’ve been facing while moving our coffee,” noted Mr. Zziwa Godfrey Muwanga, SACCO Chairperson. Joseph Baraza, Regional Manager, @MSCuganda, encouraged members to use the truck for wealth creation, leading to social economic transformation. #WealthCreation #Transformation #SACCOs @NakasekeG @HonKyeyune @JustineLumumba @MatiaK5 @mofpedU @mtic_uganda @PRAU_Uganda @UgandaMediaCent @GCOFUG @OWC_ug @OPMUganda @UNDP @NPA_UG

Building SACCOs for Wealth Creation! It was a privilege to participate in the formation of the Uganda Nurses and Midwives (UNAM) SACCO, which brought together over 300 committed members dedicated to transforming their livelihoods through collective savings and investment. Gidson Ainamani, Head of Business Development Services (BDS) @MSCuganda , encouraged members to embrace a strong saving culture, mobilize more members, and uphold transparency. Prof. Edward Kumakech, Interim Chairperson of the UNAM SACCO, reaffirmed members’ commitment to creating sustainable wealth and socio-economic transformation through the SACCO. #Wealthcreation #Transformation #SACCO @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @JustineLumumba @mtic_uganda @JaneRuth_Aceng @MinofHealthUG @mofpedU @StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni @UgandaMediaCent @UDB_Official @UNDP @udc_uganda @PRAU_Uganda @Emyooga_Program

President Yoweri Museveni has appealed to Ugandans to embrace the wealth creation campaign and join the money economy. He said Uganda is now a land of surplus in maize, sugar, milk, bananas, eggs and other products. However, the President regretted that there is still a section of 30% of households living in poverty & outside the money economy. He said this group works only for the stomach. #GCICMediaReview #OpenGovUg

Strengthening SACCO governance is key to sustainable growth. @MSCuganda engaged the Nakaseke North Constituency Boda Boda Emyooga SACCO following the election of a new Executive Committee—equipping leaders with clarity on their roles, accountability, and the importance of timely audits for transparency and trust. #Emyooga #Governance #FinancialInclusion #WealthCreation @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @mtic_uganda @OWC_ug @JustineLumumba @Emyooga_Program @jtukamushaba @PRAU_Uganda

Driving impact beyond finance—through our CSR initiative, @MSCuganda distributed 800 fruit trees to Emyooga beneficiaries in Butambala District, advancing climate resilience, environmental restoration, and sustainable livelihoods. By integrating climate-smart practices, this intervention strengthens household incomes, supports green job creation, and contributes to long-term ecological sustainability. Notably, 200 trees were entrusted to pupils of St. Charles Lwanga Primary School—strategically nurturing a generation of environmentally conscious citizens and future leaders in climate action. #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalSustainability #YouthEmpowerment #GreenGrowth #Emyooga @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @JustineLumumba @nemaug @NRMOnline @UNDP @StateHouseUg @OWC_ug @jtukamushaba @AsingwireDoreen @Emyooga_Program @OPMUganda @min_waterUg

Wealth Creation: In Butambala, we handed over a UGX 260 million dummy cheque to Emyooga SACCOs as additional seed capital—unlocking enterprise expansion, job creation, and accelerating wealth creation at the grassroots through SACCOs & Groups.

This strategic investment strengthens financial inclusion and drives sustainable socio-economic transformation. #Emyooga #FinancialInclusion #JobCreation #WealthCreation #SocioEconomicTransformation @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @JustineLumumba @KagutaMuseveni @OPMUganda @NRMOnline @MoLGUganda @UgandaMediaCent @UDB_Official @UNDP @BOU_Official @mofpedU @mtic_uganda @OWC_ug @jtukamushaba @Emyooga_Program

Mechanization is transforming rural livelihoods. Robert Abigaba, a farmer in Kijura Village, opened 16 acres in just 1 day using tractor services from Kijura SACCO Ltd under the Local Economic Growth Support (LEGS) Project. At only UGX 120,000, he saved UGX 840,000 that would have gone to manual labor. Impact: timely planting, increased yields, improved household incomes, and stronger SACCO membership, driving socio-economic transformation. #LEGSProject #MSC #Agriculture #SACCOs @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @MoLGUganda @JustineLumumba @StateHouseUg @NRMOnline @UgandaMediaCent @PRAU_Uganda @newvisionwire @OPMUganda @OWC_ug @mtic_uganda

Plenary Session 6 at #UGTradeReview26 underscored the transformative power of collective enterprise in scaling Uganda’s trade competitiveness. With the topic “Scaling Trade through Collective Enterprise - Cooperatives as Market-Driven Engines of Export Growth & Competitiveness,” the panel highlighted that: ✅ Over 100 cooperatives operate in horticulture, over 300 in fisheries, over 150 in cocoa and other crops. ✅ Cooperatives contribute 2.8% to Uganda’s GDP and employ nearly 16% of the population. To compete sustainably in export markets, cooperatives require: 📌 Patient, affordable capital 📌 Incentives tailored to their business model 📌 Inclusion in policy formulation 📌 Strengthened institutional capacity A case study from Ankole Coffee Cooperative Union demonstrated what is possible: through fair trade and organic certification, direct participation in local and international exhibitions, partnerships with international lenders, and consistent buyer engagement, nearly 80% of their exports now reach Germany, Spain, and Japan. SACCOS were recognised for expanding access to finance through asset financing and agribusiness loans secured by group guarantees, while the Warehouse Receipt System is reducing trade risk by enabling aggregation, certified storage, negotiable receipts, and improved market intelligence for smallholder farmers. #UGTradeReview26 #OpenGovUg
