    • The Takeaway

Lord Collins of Highbury, UK Minister for Africa, visited Uganda on 3-4 April 2025 to enhance UK-Uganda relations by launching a Growth Dialogue aimed at boosting trade and investment.

His visit celebrated the resumption of Uganda Airlines’ direct flights to the UK, expected to strengthen economic and cultural ties.

 

Strengthening Economic Ties

The UK-Uganda Growth Dialogue is set to hold quarterly discussions focused on removing trade barriers and fostering business collaboration.

This initiative is particularly beneficial for UK companies seeking entry into African markets, offering new opportunities in sectors such as green technology and infrastructure. The dialogue aims to create a more conducive environment for UK exporters and investors.

 

New Connections

The resumption of direct flights between Entebbe and London Gatwick from 18 May 2025 marks a significant milestone in enhancing connectivity.

This development is expected to reduce travel time and costs, facilitating smoother business interactions and leisure travel. It presents a promising opportunity for UK airlines, tourism operators, and importers/exporters.

 

Green Investments

UK investments in Uganda’s green mobility sector are making strides towards reducing carbon emissions while creating jobs.

Initiatives like electric motorcycles not only align with the UK’s climate goals but also provide tangible economic benefits for Ugandan citizens.

For instance, boda drivers save approximately US$500 annually on fuel and maintenance costs due to these innovations.

 

Economic Advantages

  • The Growth Dialogue aims to remove trade barriers benefiting UK businesses.
  • Direct flights will enhance tourism and trade links between the two nations.
  • Green investments support job creation while reducing carbon emissions.
  • UK-backed research partnerships advance global health initiatives.

 

Pioneering Health Research

The £25 million funding towards the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) underscores the UK’s commitment to global health security.

This long-standing partnership has led to breakthroughs in HIV/AIDS and Ebola research, showcasing the UK’s leadership in medical science.

Such collaborations are vital for accelerating innovations that protect both Ugandan citizens and those in the UK from infectious diseases.

 

A Visionary Partnership

“My visit to Uganda reaffirms the UK’s unwavering commitment to building equal partnerships that supporting sustainable development and drive mutually beneficial economic growth in the region.

We are dedicated to working closely with our Ugandan partners to achieve shared prosperity and a brighter future for all.”

– Lord Collins of Highbury, UK Minister for Africa
