The EU pledges to enhance investment in Uganda's infrastructure and trade as the two celebrate 50 years of cooperation. The EU aims to support Uganda's transition to middle-income status with sustainable investments, targeting energy, connectivity, and climate resilience.

Over five decades, the EU has invested over €5 billion in development, with a focus on infrastructure financing, including a €30 million grant for the Nalubaale-Kiira hydropower complex. Trade has flourished, with exports to the EU tripling since 2019, especially in coffee.
