 Government initiatives like the National ICT Initiatives Support Program and the National Social Security Fund’s Hi-Innovator provide crucial grant and funding support to startups. The National ICT Innovation Hub offers a conducive environment for ICT innovators with stable internet connection and workspace facilities. 

 

 In addition to government support, non-governmental ecosystem enablers like MTN Uganda and startup accelerators/incubators such as [Stanbic Business Incubator](https://www.stanbic.co.ug/ugandaholdings/stanbic-uganda-holdings-limited/business-incubator), [Innovation Village](https://innovationvillage.africa/), [Hive Collab](https://www.hivecolab.org/), and [Outbox Hub](https://outbox.co.ug/) play a significant role in fostering entrepreneurship in Uganda. 

 

 International organizations like the [UNDP](https://www.undp.org/uganda) also play a key role in accelerating startup growth through initiatives like the assessment of local ecosystems and the development of innovation pods in partnership with universities. 

 

 While most initiatives are concentrated in Kampala, developers are encouraged to explore opportunities in other ecosystems to further boost Uganda’s startup scene. Collaboration among stakeholders, a regulatory framework, and incentives for investments are essential for the ecosystem to reach its full potential.
