The UBL stakeholder engagement strategy is founded on the need to enhance relationships with external stakeholders. PSFU is a key stakeholder and therefore Uganda Baati was privileged to host Uganda’s apex body for the private sector, to enhance corporate relations, and establish a collaborative bond between the two institutions
George Arodi, the Business Head of Uganda Baati, acknowledged the role of PSFU in shaping the Ugandan economy. He noted that PSFU has continuously advocated for a conducive business environment, especially within the manufacturing sector. “We have been in Uganda for over 58 years, making as almost the same age as Uganda’s independence. If it wasn’t for a conducive environment provided by the Government of Uganda and agencies like the PSFU, we wouldn’t have grown and been a success story we are today” George stated.
The two institutions agreed on areas of collaboration, sharing research on policy issues that affect manufacturing, joint advocacy efforts, and collaboration in skilling the youth through the successful Uganda Baati graduate trainee program, which has seen several graduates get 360 degrees of training and professional support.
