Germany has committed €50 million in grants to Uganda to fund development projects. The funding, announced after two days of negotiations in Kampala on November 3, 2026, includes €30 million in Financial Cooperation and €20 million in Technical Cooperation.
Of the total, €35 million will go to water and electricity projects, with €10 million allocated to agribusiness and local economic development. An additional €5 million will support refugee-hosting communities. Finance Minister Henry Musasizi stated the funding aligns with Uganda’s National Development Plan IV.
The German delegation, led by Joachim Schmitt, noted the partnership supports Uganda’s ambition to graduate from Least Developed Country status. Schmitt encouraged greater participation by Ugandan, German, and European businesses to unlock economic potential and create jobs.
