The Uganda Tourism Policy, 2015 identifies the need to support initiatives to improve the design, marketing and packaging of arts, crafts and souvenirs. In this respect, the Government of Uganda, through the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities together with partners, implemented the Handicraft and Souvenir Development Project, funded by the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF).
The project responded to Government’s efforts to diversify and increase exports of non-traditional exports while supporting increased job creation and employment. One of the deliverables of the project was the development of a Catalogue for Uganda’s handicraft and souvenir sector.
The overall objective of developing the Catalogue was to put in place a promotional tool to showcase Uganda’s authentic handicraft and souvenir products to international and local markets.
It is now my great honor to present the Catalogue for Uganda’s handicraft and souvenir sector, 2022.
I am urging the relevant stakeholders to use the Catalogue to promote Uganda’s handicraft and souvenir products.
