The Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB), led by Mercy K. Kainobwisho, has been honored for its pivotal role in fostering private sector growth. URSB was named the Best Government Agency for 2023 at the Private Sector Development Awards organized by Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU).

This prestigious accolade acknowledges URSB’s exceptional contributions to promoting private sector growth in Uganda. It highlights the success of URSB’s all-digital strategy, revolutionizing registration services to enhance ease and convenience for the business and investment community.

Private Sector Foundation Uganda, the apex body for the private sector in Uganda, recognizes the crucial role played by individuals, business associations, community groups, cooperatives, private companies, and government agencies in nurturing small and medium enterprises through these annual awards.
