Overview
Overview
USAID began its assistance to Uganda immediately after independence in 1962. USAID recognized the country’s potential as the “bread basket” of Africa, with its rich natural resources, and significant rural population.
Although priorities have evolved over the past five decades, USAID’s commitment to Uganda continues to focus on improving people’s livelihoods. Strong economic growth has lowered poverty, reduced the rate of HIV/AIDS infections, and improved education.USAID’s work in Uganda supports U.S. policy objectives in peace and security, democracy and governance, health and education, economic growth, and humanitarian assistance.
