Unlocking Agricultural Credit Facility (ACF) and Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF) for Ugandans by Bank of Uganda

Are you a Ugandan farmer, agro-processor, or small business owner? Has the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affected you? Do you know that the Ugandan government has established two funds to support your business recovery and growth? Suppose you are unaware of the Agricultural Credit Facility (ACF) and Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF). In that case, you need to attend the Bank of Uganda Panel Discussion at the East African Business Expo 2023 on May 5th, 2023, from 4 pm to 6 pm.

Ms Sarah Nantongo Mubuuke, Head of Credit Appraisal & Publicity, Agriculture & Other Credit Schemes Division at the Bank of Uganda, will be the keynote speaker at the panel discussion. She will provide an overview of the Agricultural Credit Facility and Small Business Recovery Fund, explain why the government established these funds, highlight each scheme’s salient features, and discuss the eligible projects, application requirements, application process, Block Allocation arrangement, scheme achievements, challenges encountered, and viable solutions.

The Agricultural Credit Facility (ACF) provides affordable financing to farmers, agribusinesses, and agricultural cooperatives to support their production, processing, and marketing activities. On the other hand, the Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF) offers affordable loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have been affected by the pandemic. Both funds are administered by commercial banks and microfinance institutions, with oversight from the Bank of Uganda. 

The Bank of Uganda Panel Discussion is a free-to-attend session that will equip you with the knowledge and information necessary to access these government funds. You don’t want to miss this opportunity where you will learn about the application requirements, the process of application, and how to access the funds to better your life and business.

So, mark your calendars and attend the Bank of Uganda Panel Discussion on May 5th, 2023, from 4 pm to 6 pm, at the East African Business Expo 2023, KCCA Grounds Lugogo.
