About us
SOUTH EASTERN PRIVATE SECTOR PROMOTION ENTERPRISE
SEPSPEL is a dynamic and innovative organization committed to building the capacities of the private sector and improving the lives of vulnerable households in Uganda. Established in 1998 by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), SEPSPEL has been at the forefront of implementing sustainable development initiatives for over two decades.
In 2003, we registered as a company limited by guarantee, a move that enabled us to broaden our scope and deepen our impact. At SEPSPEL, we believe that sustainable development can only be achieved through the creation of strong, inclusive, and prosperous economies. As such, we work to empower the private sector by providing trainings, mentorship, and on-job coaching to enhance their skills and capabilities.
Our interventions target vulnerable households and cover a wide range of areas including livelihoods, education, child protection, health, water, and sanitation. We understand that vulnerable households face unique challenges that require tailored solutions. That's why we work closely with our partners and stakeholders to design and implement interventions that are responsive to the specific needs of the communities we serve.
At SEPSPEL, we are committed to delivering high-quality services that create lasting impact. We are guided by our core values of integrity, excellence, and innovation, which underpin everything we do. Our team of experts is made up of seasoned professionals with extensive experience in the development sector, and we are always exploring new ways to improve our work and deliver better outcomes for the communities we serve.
We are proud of the work we have done over the years, and we remain committed to making a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable households in Uganda. Join us on this journey as we work towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all.
