URWA's Commitment
We are committed
To provide a Unified Collective Voice for the retail industry (Retailer and Wholesalers) in Uganda
Get StartedThe Uganda Retailers and wholesalers Association (URWA) is the trade association representing community-focused retailers and wholesalers, supermarkets, grocery stores FMCG distributors and all channels of distribution in Uganda. URWA has the mission of working with members to create a vibrant and sustainable retail industry and ensure community-focused retailers and wholesalers the opportunity to succeed and better serve the consumer through its policies, dialogue, advocacy programs and services.
URWA works closely with government on all policy issues on behalf of our members and build a constructive relationship with all government agencies and authorities.
URWA executive members always meet regularly to discuss, debate and form responses to government on policies that affect the retail and wholesale industrial sector.
URWA's primary goal is to make sure that the voices and concerns of its members are heard by the respective parties.
Retail Industry Outlook · URWA’s highest priority as identified by members is representing, promoting and protecting retailers and wholesalers in terms of regulation, monitoring, government legislation, reporting and other relevant issues. · URWA is to be viewed as a primary source of reliable information about the retail sector. · The public’s concern about the quality and safety the products on the market has increased, while its understanding of which is counterfeit or not remains unclear and is inconsequential to its concern about the safety.
