Equity Bank Uganda today welcomed senior officials from aBi, the European Union and the Royal Danish Embassy for high-level talks focused on boosting cooperation in agriculture, enterprise development and social-impact programmes. The meeting took place at the bank’s head office in Church House, Kampala, and explored new opportunities for technical support, risk-sharing solutions and targeted assistance for vulnerable groups.
A major part of the discussions centred on strengthening partnerships that can drive investment and resilience in Uganda’s food and agriculture sector—an area critical to the country’s growth but often held back by limited financing and the effects of climate change and market volatility.
The teams also examined ongoing and future initiatives supporting refugees, young people and women entrepreneurs. All parties expressed a shared commitment to designing practical, collaborative interventions that expand access to finance, build skills and promote sustainable economic opportunities.
Equity Bank Uganda Managing Director Gift Shoko reiterated the bank’s focus on working closely with development partners to spur inclusive growth.
“Equity Bank remains committed to fostering collaborations that promote inclusive and sustainable development,” he said. “These partnerships are vital for strengthening value chains, uplifting vulnerable communities and ensuring businesses across Uganda can succeed.”
The engagement is part of Equity Bank’s broader strategy to increase its development impact through blended financing, capacity-building and strategic partnerships with both public institutions and private-sector players.
