Uganda’s savings rate averaged under 20% of GDP b'tn 2018 to 2022
Investment, using gross fixed capital formation, averaged 24% of GDP.
Attaining double-digit GDP growth requires both of these ratios to reach the range of 40% of GDP.

I thank Members of Parliament who subscribe to the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Social Protection for unanimously electing me Chairperson for the 12th Parliament, at our gathering of members at Jinja Nile Resort earlier today. I also congratulate my 10 colleagues elected to various roles on the Board. I will work harder than ever before to push the social protection agenda forward.

The National Social Protection Policy (2015) defines social protection as public & private interventions that address risks & vulnerabilities. These interventions prevent income insecurity and social deprivation.

Did you know that Uganda has invested only 0.7 percent of the GDP to social protection?
Social protection expansion in Uganda is currently constrained by fragmented coverage, weak systems, limited financing & inadequate coordination.

The 10-fold growth strategy aims to transition Uganda to an upper middle-income country. This requires a consistent real annual GDP growth rate of about 8.2%, up from the current 5%.
Social protection can help us get there!

Social protection is an indispensable strategy for inclusive, equitable, and redistributive economic growth.
It builds resilience to social, economic, geopolitical, and climatic shocks.
