Irene Birungi Mugisha, the Coordinator of the Presidential CEO Forum (PCF), highlights the increased collaboration among key policy players, industry leaders, and indigenous CEOs in advancing Uganda's National Development Agenda. This collaboration aims to bridge past gaps through strategic interventions at the decision-making level. Emphasizing the private sector's crucial role as Uganda's largest employer and GDP contributor, Birungi underscores the need for the sector to influence national policies, a stance supported by President Yoweri Museveni.
