Core Mission
To train, coach, and mentor SMEs to build strong business and financial management systems that drive sustainability, scalability, and improved livelihoods.
Why We Exist
SMEs are the backbone of Uganda’s economy, contributing about 20% of GDP and generating 80% of manufacturing output. They are crucial for economic growth and job creation. However, over 70% of new businesses fail within five years due to poor financial management, weak operational systems, and inefficient internal controls. Additionally, youth unemployment is high, with 42% of Ugandan youth aged 15–24 classified as NEET (not in employment, education, or training), affecting millions. Talents Enabling Uganda (TEU) exists to tackle these challenges by training, coaching, and mentoring SMEs to strengthen their business and financial management systems. We empower entrepreneurs to build sustainable, scalable businesses that create jobs and drive socio-economic transformation.
