The European Union recently promised to commit five million Euros to the Private Sector Foundation Uganda to fund skills training for young graduates.
The move is intended to promote green investments and decent employment among Uganda and European firms with a presence in Uganda, officials said at a recent meeting. The programme will be run through a platform called the Sustainable Business for Uganda (SB4U).
