Abstract:

Uganda’s performance as an innovation economy has been improving
consistently, particularly in comparison with other low-income and SubSaharan African countries. Since
2015, the Global Innovation Index
(GII) has ranked Uganda as an ‘innovation outperformer,’ a title given
to countries that, over a number of
years including the two most recent,
have been identified as innovation
achievers and pillar outperformers.
