Equity Bank , aBi, European Union Hold discussion to Expand collaboration in Agriculture, Enterprise growth

Equity Bank Uganda today hosted senior representatives from aBi, the European Union and the Royal Danish Embassy for high-level discussions aimed at expanding collaboration in agriculture, enterprise growth and social-impact initiatives.

The meeting, held at the Bank’s head office in Church House, Kampala, focused on unlocking new pathways for technical assistance, de-risking mechanisms and targeted support for vulnerable communities.

The engagement centred on strengthening partnerships that can accelerate investment and resilience within Uganda’s food and agriculture systems—sectors that remain pivotal to national development but often constrained by limited financing and high exposure to climate and market shocks.

The discussions also touched on programmes designed to uplift refugees, young people and women entrepreneurs, with all parties expressing interest in co-creating practical solutions that enhance access to finance, build skills and promote sustainable livelihoods.

Equity Bank Uganda Managing Director Gift Shoko reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to working with development partners to drive broad-based growth.

“Equity Bank remains committed to fostering collaborations that promote inclusive and sustainable development,” he said. “Partnerships like these play a crucial role in strengthening value chains, supporting vulnerable groups and ensuring that businesses across Uganda can thrive.”

The meeting forms part of Equity Bank’s wider strategy to deepen its development impact through blended finance, capacity-building and strategic alliances with public and private sector actors.
