COMFWB UGANDA/ UWEAL groundbreaking marks a major leap for women entrepreneurs in Uganda and beyond
The Uganda Women Entrepreneurs Association Limited (UWEAL), the Uganda National Chapter of COMFWB, celebrated a monumental milestone yesterday with the official groundbreaking ceremony for the UWEAL Logistics Hub and Incubation Centre.
Situated on a newly acquired two-acre plot of land in Namanve—granted by the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA)—this state-of-the-art facility is set to become a game-changer for women-led businesses across the region.
Key Highlights of the Hub:
————————
Market Access: Centralized infrastructure designed to bridge the gap between local women entrepreneurs and high-value regional and international trade networks.
Incubation Services: Comprehensive business support, mentorship, and capacity-building resources to scale women-owned enterprises.
Strategic Location: Located in the thriving Namanve Industrial and Business Park, offering prime integration into East Africa’s logistical corridors.
The landmark ceremony was graced by Hon. Peace Regis Mutuuzo, Minister of State for Gender and Culture Affairs, alongside prominent business leaders and key ecosystem stakeholders who reaffirmed their commitment to advancing female economic empowerment.
This initiative directly aligns with COMFWB's overarching mission to foster competitive, growth-oriented female entrepreneurs across the COMESA region. By lowering barriers to entry and providing dedicated physical and operational infrastructure, the UWEAL Logistics Hub sets a powerful precedent for regional trade integration and sustainable economic transformation.
