About E4D/SOGA Project:
The objective of the regional programme “Employment and Skills for Eastern Africa” (E4D/SOGA) is to improve employment opportunities in Africa in cooperation with the private sector. Co-funded by DFID, NORAD, EU and Shell, the initiative is implemented in Kenia, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda. A particular focus is placed on employment in the natural resource-based industries and their adjacent supply chain sectors such as construction, infrastructure, transport and logistics, catering and food supply.
In Uganda, considerable amounts of natural resources, most prominently oil and precious minerals have been discovered over the last 10 years. These discoveries have led to investments in the economy and bring opportunities to elevate Uganda to a middle-income economy. Yet to exploit these resources and to maximize local benefits, Uganda will need qualified workers, craftsmen and technicians as well as local companies prepared for upcoming contracting opportunities. Based on an industry assessment, E4D/SOGA focusses on supporting vocational training institutes, to offer market relevant training and build a pool of internationally certified workers demanded by industry. At the same time, local suppliers receive support to improve their businesses and prepare towards successfully bidding for international contracts.
