Does Uganda have the necessary manufacturing standards framework to pursue the NDP III’s import replacement strategy?

This study assesses Uganda’s legal, regulatory and institutional standards framework in pursuit of the third National Development Plan’s import replacement/export promotion strategies. Using the National Standards Capability Assessment Framework, the study conducts a mini-survey of the manufacturing sector and key informant interviews to establish the status of Uganda’s legal, regulatory and institutional standards framework.

The results show that despite efforts to create the legal, regulatory and institutional framework for standards, several challenges still exist in the implementation that need to be addressed to achieve the strategy’s objectives.
