There was a rising number of successful women doing business in Uganda, all trading at different levels to contribute to Uganda’s economy. Much as most women were successful, many still failed to or gave up for various reasons. In a bid to address women’s business grievances.
Monitor Publications Limited (MPL) sought a strategic partnership with Dfcu Bank’s Women in Business program (dfcu WIB) and Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) to support women doing business in Uganda.
Over the years dfcu Bank has supported women in business who have succeeded and own inspirational stories of success, MPL thought it prudent to work with dfcu Bank on the project titled “Rising Woman”.
UIA on the other hand has also supported women under their different umbrellas through training, both dfcu Bank and MPL got into a partnership with the government
