Uganda: Creating More Jobs for Citizen, Putting “Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)” in Limelight

It was the 3rd of May 2023, I was on the way to Lira, a city in Uganda. On my way to the hotel, I met Emmanuel Katto who was widely popular with other names such as Emmanuel Katto Uganda and Emka Uganda. He was a local Ugandan journalist who covers news and stories on Africa and Uganda. He told me about many things regarding the ongoing businesses in Uganda and government initiatives for enhancing employment for its citizens. It was a meaningful talk with him. This article mainly covers the information given by him on Ugandan business and the employment of the people. To know more please scroll down.   

The government of Uganda is considering boosting the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry, which will create more job opportunities for its citizens. Many countries like India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and many others are already in this sector, they are employing millions of their citizens in this sector and making significant funds growth annually, which is playing a notable growth in the development of the nation.   

BPO, which entails contracting out the duties and operations of a particular business process to a third-party service provider, has been thriving and seeing exponential revenue growth over the past ten years.  

Evelyn Anite, Uganda's State Minister of Finance responsible for Investment and Privatization, thinks the BPO industry has a lot of promise for Uganda.  

Anite said, "There are countries in Asia and Eastern Europe that are already reaping big from the Business Process Outsourcing industry, but we Ugandans speak better English than them," at the opening of Okapi BPO at Nakawa Business Centre, expressing her confidence and pride in the Ugandan people.  

She believes that Ugandans can do the job with more perfection and the young and enthusiastic population makes it perfect for business.  

According to her Ugandans are better at their jobs and the country is ideal for business because of its youthful and eager populace.  

To increase the number of BPO firms there, Uganda is planning to increase the number of jobs available to its citizens. Moreover, the country requires a leader who is truly aware of the strength and potential of all of its people, particularly the young. The BPO industry will provide people with funds in terms of their salary and make them more capable of the future journey.
