  1. What UNCCI means to the Ugandan Business community The anxiety caused by the great depression of 1930's arose the need of a business community to guard the financial base of the members involved in international trade. The consequence was the establishment of the Uganda National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UNCCI) by the business community during 1933. UNCCI is the oldest surviving nation-wide umbrella organisation for the private sector of business in Uganda. Its objective is to promote and protect the business interest in all sectors that are the base of the national economy like- trade, manufacture, travel and services. It is contributing towards this objective by influencing the strategic decisions on policies and by the recommendation to the government bodies. The 1972 recession resulted in the weakening of the UNCCI which was later reconstituted in 1978 and registered as a limited company. The leadership was made electoral of a term of 5 administrative years. Currently, UNCCI is benefited with cross-sector membership across the country. Its district chamber branches are in almost 80 districts covering all regions. The purpose of the Chamber is to provide local, regional and global access to influential business communities. These purposes create a conducive atmosphere for overall economic development which it expects to achieve through quality service, innovation, integrity and teamwork among the business connections in the network.
