THE ENTREPRENEUR’S FOUNDATION: HOW SAVINGS DRIVE BUSINESS GROWTH IN UGANDA
Entrepreneurship is the lifeblood of Uganda's economy, most especially for the youth. As over 78% of the population is aged below 30 years, several young Ugandans are looking to small business as an exit from unemployment. But for most would-be entrepreneurs, access to finance is an all-too-real stumbling block. A paltry 15% of Uganda's micro and small enterprises get finance from formal institutions, typically because they are not collateralized, are informal enterprises, or have a bad credit record.
