Investment Climate and Business Environment Research Fund Research Report, (31/12).https://www.issuelab.org/resources/34990/34990.pdfhttps://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/5626This report addresses entrepreneurship activity among Persons with Disability in Uganda and their potential to contribute to economic development. Data was collected from Entrepreneurs with Disabilities (EWDs) in Kampala using mixed methods research. In the study we sought to answer questions about the environment, business activities EWDs are involved in, attitudes towards business, their motivations, challenges and growth aspirations. Key findings were that the majority of the EWDs are involved in retail trade. Most of them had started their own businesses using their own savings and had previously closed a business because it wasn’t profitable. Most of their businesses weren’t registered because they said they didn’t need to yet the majority of those whose businesses were registered said registration was easy and beneficial to the running of their businesses. The results also show that two thirds of the EWDs did not have any business skills training with the majority that received training saying that it was through apprenticeship. Two thirds of the EWDs claimed not to belong to any association thus starving their businesses of the benefits of these networks. A large majority of the EWDs hoped to grow their businesses with most of them hoping to hire between 1 and 5 employees in the next 5 years.enEntrepreneursDisabilityUgandaArticle
