Uganda Investment Authority Wins Global Award

The accolade comes shortly after the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) global award, which Uganda won recently


Uganda, through its chief investment promotion agency, the Uganda Investment Authority, has won yet another prestigious award "the Investment Catalyst Award" in the 2023 Go Global Awards.

The coveted Go Global Awards recognizes and honors government foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic development agencies and businesses that significantly contribute to international investment, commerce, and global well-being.

The awards are also the ultimate global platform for business and investment promotion agencies seeking to extend their reach and establish a formidable presence in the international marketplace.

  • The 2023 edition of the Go Global Awards was held in the city of Providence, Rhode Island, USA, and was hosted by the Rhode Island Secretary of Commerce, Elizabeth Tanner, the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation, and the International Trade Council.

Uganda's Ambassador to the United States, Robie Konge, received the coveted award on behalf of Uganda and the Uganda Investment Authority.

The Go Global Award comes hard on the heels of another prestigious award "the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) global award" that Uganda won in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in early 2023, for attracting the best investment project (Modern Tiles) in East Africa in 2022.

  • The Uganda Investment Authority was also honored as the best investment promotion agency in East Africa.

Uganda has, for the second year running (2022 and 2023), ranked fourth out of 28 African countries in the Continental Financial Markets Index by Absa Group and the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, after South Africa, Mauritius, and Nigeria.
