OBJECTIVES
UGACOQ was developed with the understanding that there is need to provide professionals with diverse opportunities for networking, professional development, and exploiting the immense potential inherent in the various sectors like inter Qatar-Uganda agribusiness, industry and trade.
By this association, we come together as Ugandans to celebrate our national heritage and unity, with highlights such as our National Independence Day which is commemorated annually on 09th October.
Our activities are designed to improve and promote Uganda and Africa. UGACOQ hopes to raise our standards and profile by organizing activities designed to challenge our downgraded image, improve standards and raise awareness.
As an association of Ugandans living in Qatar, we intend to lobby to have a Consulate representing the Republic of Uganda set up in our host country, owing to the numerous benefits that this official presence carries with it. Over the years, there has been a significant increase in the number of Ugandans living in the State of Qatar, with a projected surge of our population here in Qatar set to take off from 2017 in the buildup for Qatar 2022 World Cup.
UGACOQ aims to provide its members with multiple opportunities to organise and participate in philanthropic initiatives benefitting our motherland Uganda and our host nation Qatar.
