Financial literacy has been recognized as a critical factor in improving the quality of life and enhancing financial inclusion in Uganda. One of the most important roles of Bank of Uganda is to ensure consumers make informed financial and economic decisions that ultimately drive economic growth.

In this regard, Bank of Uganda has spearheaded the development and implementation of a Strategy forFinancial Literacy in Uganda. The rationale behind the Strategy has been to:

• provide focus, drive and momentum
• encourage the development of high quality resources
• encourage the use of simple, clear and compelling messages
• reduce the risk of duplication and unintended gaps
• enable partners to learn from each other
• encourage the active participation of a wider range of stakeholders
