Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Business, government and civil society leaders will on Thursday next week meet to chart ways through which Uganda\u2019s private sector can benefit from Green Economic Zones.<\/p>\n

Green Economic Zones offer private sector investors an opportunity to invest in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and sustainable industrial practices.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the 5th Economic Mkutano, Mr David Bikhado Ofungi, the curator of the Economic Mkutano, said focus will be centred on unlocking private sector opportunities from Green Economic Zones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme is designed around implementable learnings that speak directly to investment opportunities that investors can pivot into from a project development perspective,\u201d he said, noting that the emerging green economy presents opportunities for the private sector to invest in sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

The Economic Mkutano is an annual event where leaders and different stakeholders meet to discuss economic challenges and solutions.<\/p>\n
