Catalytic Grants

FSD Uganda provides grant for innovative projects aimed at strengthening financial inclusion among marginalised groups. Where projects require a collaborative approach for successful implementation, FSD Uganda works with grantees to ensure relevant stakeholders are involved right from the design phase.

In addition to this, grantees venturing into new territory different from their core business are eligible for technical assistance to develop sustainable business models.

Technical Assistance & Capacity Building

FSD Uganda provides technical assistance and capacity building to enable government institutions/ agencies to respond to the dynamic changes in the financial service markets.

We also support industry associations and innovators to organise, advocate for issues critical for their success, and build sustainable business models.

Research

FSD Uganda is the go-to organisation for information on inclusive financial market development in Uganda.

We provide evidence required by policymakers and regulators, industry associations and financial service providers to promote inclusive financial markets that foster job creation and reduce poverty, ultimately improving Uganda’s competitiveness.
