== Economic Context ==
As of late 2024, Uganda’s economy reached a size of '''US$49 billion''', with a population of approximately 45.9 million. For the 2024/2025 financial year, the Ministry of Finance, Planning & Economic Development (MoFPED) projects:

* '''GDP:''' USD 61.3 Billion.
* '''GDP Growth Rate:''' 6.3%.
* '''GDP Per Capita:''' USD 1,263.
* '''Internet Penetration:''' 28%.

The capital city, '''[[Kampala]]''', accounts for roughly 60% of the national GDP and is projected to be one of the world's fastest-growing cities by 2035. Medium-term growth is expected to remain robust, driven by infrastructure investment and developments in the oil and gas sector.
