The Competitiveness and Enterprise Development Project- Additional Funding (CEDP-AF)
The Competitiveness and Enterprise Development Project- Additional Financing (CEDP-AF) is a Government of Uganda project financed by the International Development Agency of the World Bank. The aim of the project is to improve the competitiveness of enterprises in Uganda through supporting reforms in priority productive and service sectors geared towards a better investment climate with particular focus on Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Following the successful implementation of the parent project, the Government of Uganda is scaling up the existing operations through provision of Additional Financing (AF) which is intended to complete the implementation of the Land and Tourism components while consolidating and enhancing achievements realized as well as scaling up activities under these components. CEDP-AF will therefore support deepening of both the sustainability and impact of the parent project.
