The Uganda Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD) report examines three sectors of particular interest:
- agribusiness, which is important for productivity, employment, and export growth;
- energy, as an enabler of overall productivity; and
- housing, because of its role in fueling growth in the labor-intensive construction sector and alleviating the demographic pressures that rapid urbanization puts on Uganda’s cities.
Within the agribusiness sector, the CPSD considers three promising value chains: fisheries, dairy, and maize. Beyond discussing challenges and opportunities specific to these three promising sectors, the CPSD also analyzes some of the cross-cutting constraints on the Ugandan economy and shares recommendations for reforms that can help open markets and attract investment.
