Uganda’s Solar Sector Strengthened By AMI-USEA Partnership, Backed By UKAID

Uganda’s solar industry is set to receive a significant boost through a new partnership between the African Management Institute (AMI) and the Uganda Solar Energy Association (USEA). The collaboration is part of the Energy Access Talent Initiative (EATI) Programme, funded by UKAID, and aims to equip solar industry leaders and managers with essential skills to drive company growth and expand energy access across Uganda.

Alvin Katto, Country Manager for AMI Uganda, emphasized the impact of the initiative, stating, “This partnership aligns with our goal of building leadership capacity in high-growth sectors like clean energy. By empowering managers with practical skills, we are not only expanding energy access but also driving lasting change in Uganda’s energy landscape.”

Professor Robinah Nanyunja, CEO of USEA, also expressed enthusiasm, saying, “We’re excited to offer this professional development opportunity to our members. The skills gained through this programme will accelerate the growth of Uganda’s solar energy sector.”

With a focus on professional development and leadership, this partnership aims to strengthen Uganda’s solar energy sector and contribute to broader efforts in expanding clean energy access across Africa.
