KAMPALA – Uganda Investment Authority is preparing for the 7th phase of the Presidential Investors’ Round Table (PIRT) which is scheduled for March this year.
PIRT which is chaired by the President is a high-level forum that brings together a select group of both foreign and local investors to advise the Government on how to improve the investment climate in the country.
