platform for Private Sector/Business Community together with other relevant
stakeholders like Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), to
freely exchange views and ideas on how to ease the cost of doing business,
and thus richly reap from existing and future business opportunities by
agreeing on how to overcome existing challenges, learn lessons and business
strategies for smooth mutual exchange between the two markets of Uganda
and Somalia and beyond.
