A rapidly growing mining country
Uganda is experiencing remarkable growth in its mining industry. Rich in natural resources such as gold, cobalt, copper, and sand, the country is attracting increasing foreign investment. This momentum helps diversify Uganda’s economy, traditionally centered on agriculture.
African Mining Week: a key event
The African Mining Week is an annual forum that gathers governments, investors, experts, and companies to discuss mining challenges in Africa. The event enables the presentation of projects, sharing of best practices, and strengthening of international cooperation.
Uganda as host country and strategic player
By spotlighting Uganda, African Mining Week recognizes the country’s efforts to modernize its mining sector, improve governance, and attract capital. This recognition also paves the way for stronger industrial and technological partnerships.
Outlook for Uganda’s mining sector
The focus on Uganda during this week enhances the visibility of its mining potential on the African and global stage. In the short and medium term, this should boost exploration projects, encourage investments, and create jobs in this key sector.
