Who we are

The Federation of Uganda Social Enterprises (FUSE) is your gateway to the social enterprise sector in Uganda. It is a membership body that is open to all social businesses in the country. It is a one-stop center for all social entrepreneurs and supporters. We are advocating for the sector’s recognition by the government and creating an enabling environment for all.

About us

Social entrepreneurship is rising in popularity and gaining more importance. It has gained greater visibility and recognition for contributing resources to address social and environmental problems whilst at the same time addressing economic issues.

Social entrepreneurship finds ways, measures, or settings up entrepreneurial tactics in order to provide systemic solutions to social and environmental problems. Social entrepreneurship activities are consistent with the role of the public sector and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Social enterprises are playing an important role in meeting fundamental societal needs and fostering social cohesion while delivering more inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

Uganda’s social enterprise sector has not yet received the recognition it deserves but has huge potential to create great positive socioeconomic impact or contribute to the environmental well-being of the country, while at the same time remaining a profitable business venture. The Federation of Uganda Social Enterprises (FUSE) is a representative body for social enterprises in Uganda that is not just creating a stronger collective voice but also creating markets and opportunities.
We are committed to ensuring social entrepreneurship becomes a success in Uganda.
