SEATINI is a very active player

SEATINI is a very active player in an otherwise complex net of civil society organizations in Uganda. I very much appreciate the opportunity to participate in regular efforts of SEATINI to sensitize policy makers to the opinions of the society and influence decisions at government level.

Thanks to SEATINI Uganda

I finally got my products certified by Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) after struggling for a long time. I had many uncertainties about the certification process, but Mr. Hakim Mufumbiro from UNBS, who presented at a meeting organized by SEATINI Uganda, clarified everything for me. I paid for the certification, underwent an audit, and a sample of my product was tested, with satisfactory results. I received the UNBS certificate through the help of SEATINI Uganda, and I am grateful. It’s essential that women in business have access to the information they need, and I hope key players can make that happen.
