Government will in the next financial year anchor its planning on maximising job creation through tourism, travel, manufacturing, construction, services, and trade. 
However, agriculture will continue to be a key area as government seeks to turn it from subsistence to a cash-based sector. 
The details are contained in the 2020/21 National Budget Framework Paper drawn by Ministry of Finance. 
According to the Ministry of Finance, out of the 9.1 million Ugandans employed outside subsistence agriculture in 2017, which makes up 60 per cent of the working population), majority were in agriculture (3,257,800k, representing 35.8 per cent) followed by the services sector outside trade (2,639,000, representing 29 per cent), trade (2,065,700, translating into 22.7 per cent) and construction (1,137,500; which represents12.5 per cent.
