Uganda: A gateway to East Africa

Uganda stands out as one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, offering a fertile landscape for professional services firms seeking to support enterprise growth, investment structuring, and regulatory compliance.

As the country prepares to enter oil production and deepen its regional integration, the demand for high-quality audit, tax, legal, and advisory support is accelerating across multiple sectors that include:

Oil & Gas Production
With commercial oil production expected to begin soon, Uganda’s petroleum sector presents complex advisory needs—from contract negotiation and tax structuring to environmental compliance and local content strategy.

Extractive Industries
Beyond oil, Uganda’s mineral wealth including gold, copper, and rare earths requires robust governance, licensing support, and financial advisory to attract responsible investment and ensure sustainable development.

Agroprocessing & Agribusiness
Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Uganda’s economy. The shift toward agro-processing and value addition opens doors for advisory firms to support supply chain formalization, export readiness, and agribusiness financing.

Land-Linked Infrastructure & Trade Facilitation
Uganda’s central location within the East African Community positions it as a land-linked hub to a regional market of over 300 million people. Advisory services are critical in logistics, transport corridors, and trade facilitation frameworks.

Tourism & Hospitality
Uganda’s rich natural heritage—from mountain gorillas to the Nile—continues to attract global interest. Advisors play a key role in licensing, investment structuring, and sustainable tourism development.

Renewable Energy & Technology
As Uganda embraces green energy and digital transformation, advisory firms are needed to guide startups, investors, and corporates through regulatory frameworks, financing models, and strategic partnerships.

With a youthful, skilled workforce and ongoing reforms to improve the business climate, Uganda is increasingly attractive to both local and international investors. For firms like RKA & Company, this environment offers a compelling platform to deliver high-impact advisory services that shape the future of East Africa.

We are thrilled to welcome RKA & Company into the MGI Worldwide network and look forward to building new opportunities together across East Africa and beyond.
