Uganda Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Initiative
The Uganda Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Initiative (UPMI) is currently developing the pharmaceutical sector in Uganda and the East African region.
Business-Driven
Encouraging Local Entrepeneurship
UPMI supports local entrepreneurship, cultivates a trained workforce, and stimulates East African commerce through the development of a new pharmaceutical plant in Uganda.
Impact-driven
Improved Local Access to Medicine
The UPMI plant answers one of the primary goals of the Ministry of Health of Uganda and the East African Community: reduced susceptibility to pharmaceutical shortages. Local manufacturing of medicine results in fewer shortages of life-saving medicine for East African consumers.
Data-Driven
Empirical Business Cases
UPMI uses a comprehensive collection of data and business models to analyse the impact of its products, as well as the long-term feasibility of the plant. UPMI receives its data from a collection of trusted sources, including local governments and NGOs.
Leveraging connections
Growing Professional Network
UPMI is leveraging a wide network of business partners in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector and relevant governmental and non-governmental stakeholders.
