Introduction

Trade for Jobs Uganda is a five-year initiative (2025–2030) co-led by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Trade Centre (ITC), with funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Using a market systems approach, the project leverages trade as a driver for decent job creation and income generation for women and men living in poverty in Uganda, by strengthening two high-potential sectors: dairy and tourism.
 
The project will build toward national objectives and priorities on developing the production, productivity and value addition of both sectors, as outlined in the National Development Plan (NDP) IV (2025/26-2029/30).
It intends to do this for the project beneficiaries – women and men living in poverty, through:

Strengthening regional and global trade of dairy products and tourism services, with a focus on micro enterprises and SMEs
Supporting private sector development for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), including through value addition, diversification, enhancing competitiveness, and improving the business environment
Engaging with Swedish companies to leverage their expertise, services, products and private investment potential

 
The project will adopt a market systems approach, as it is an approach that focuses on delivering long-term sustainable impact at scale. The approach is analysis-focused, partner driven, and driven by evidence-based adaptation.
What makes the approach for Trade for Jobs Uganda different is its unique focus on trade as a lever for decent job creation. While many development initiatives address employment or enterprise development in isolation, this project combines the ILO’s expertise in promoting decent work using a market systems approach with ITC’s deep experience in strengthening trade and MSME competitiveness. Together, the two organizations bring a market systems lens to unlock trade-driven growth that delivers not just more jobs – but better, more secure and inclusive employment opportunities.
 
The project starts with an extended 18-month inception phase that includes project and team set-up, stakeholder and donor coordination, further analyses and initial piloting. It is highly probable that Trade for Jobs will continue for an additional 42-month implementation phase.
