The World Bank Group has officially committed up to $6 billion (approximately Shs 23 trillion) in lending to Uganda over the next 10 years under its newly endorsed Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for 2026–2035. Alongside this direct lending, the strategy aims to mobilize and catalyze an additional $3.8 billion in private capital to bankroll national development priorities.
Key Elements of the 10-Year Strategy
The blueprint represents a massive shift towards structural, private sector-led economic growth during Uganda's highly anticipated "oil decade". The key pillars of this partnership include:
Funding Structure: The World Bank will provide roughly $2 billion across each of three funding cycles over the 10-year span, building on top of its existing $4.74 billion active portfolio in the country.
Target Objectives: The framework is heavily focused on expanding economic opportunities for Uganda's rapidly growing youth population. Key 2035 milestone targets include doubling energy access to 50 million people, supporting 10 million students with better education, and providing financial services access to 14 million citizens.
Economic Scaling: The initiative aligns directly with the government's Vision 2040 and Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV), which aim to scale Uganda's economy from $50 billion to a $500 billion upper-middle-income status by 2040.
Policy Compliance: This major master plan cements a full resumption of relations, following a previous temporary freeze on new public financing over legislative disputes.
