More recently, Northern Uganda has gained attention for its significant mineral deposits, including gold, copper, and rare earth elements. This resource boom promises to reshape the local economy, creating new opportunities for businesses and communities.

However, like Charles Mudiwa, dfcu Bank’s CEO noted in his remarks to customers of the bank during a series of client-dinners, “…realizing this potential requires financial backing, infrastructure development, and strategic planning—areas in which dfcu has achieved significant impact, in its sixty-year history.”

Speaking to customers in Lira and Gulu districts, Mudiwa noted that the Bank has a long history of business and asset financing which enable the development of critical infrastructure.

“Our goal is to empower local businesses and entrepreneurs with tailor-made financial products and services, including loans. This will help businesses scale up operations, improve their technological capabilities, and integrate more fully into the region’s resource supply chain,” he noted.
