The European Union (EU) has pledged US$56 million (R922 million) in new funding for conservation and tourism in Uganda.
When EU Ambassador to Uganda Jan Sadek announced the support during the Uganda-EU Partnership Dialogue on October 14, he said the bloc wants to remain a reliable partner as Uganda pursues its development ambitions.
European support for Uganda over the past 50 years is estimated at approximately US$2 billion, Sadek pointed out.
