Hon. Hajjat Amina Mukalazi Minister of State for Finance, Planning and Economic Development (Privatisation and Investment), Government of Uganda

Hon. Hajjat Amina Mukalazi is Uganda’s Minister of State for Finance, Planning and Economic Development, responsible for Privatisation and Investment.

Her portfolio places her at the centre of Uganda’s investment facilitation agenda, with responsibility linked to attracting quality investment, strengthening investor confidence, supporting private sector growth and advancing commercially viable opportunities under Uganda’s national development priorities.

Before assuming this ministerial role, Hon. Mukalazi was associated with Uganda’s local content and investment environment work, with a focus on ensuring that Ugandan enterprises, workers and suppliers benefit from foreign direct investment, particularly in strategic sectors such as minerals, petroleum, industrial development and value addition.

At UKAIS 2026, Hon. Mukalazi will contribute to the flagship session, Financing the Trilateral Corridor: De-Risking JVs, Capital Deployment, and Market Access. Her focus will be on Uganda’s investment facilitation framework, the privatisation pipeline and the policy commitments required to convert investor interest into confirmed capital.

Her participation is highly relevant to UKAIS 2026’s execution-led agenda. She will bring a government perspective on how Uganda can strengthen its investment climate, remove bottlenecks, support value-addition investments, deepen private sector participation and align international capital with bankable opportunities across infrastructure, industrial parks, energy, minerals, agro-processing and export-oriented production.

Her contribution supports the Summit theme, Trade Corridors and Industrial Platforms: From Access to Production, and reinforces Uganda’s role as UKAIS 2026 Strategic Growth Partner.
