The Capital Markets Authority of Uganda (CMA), in partnership with the Uganda Financial Literacy
Association (UFLA), has today officially launched the Masaka Financial Literacy Chapter.
This milestone marks a significant step in decentralizing capital markets and financial literacy efforts,
ensuring that communities at the grassroots are empowered with the knowledge to make informed
financial and investment decisions.
Speaking at the launch, Daniel Ayebare, Chairperson of UFLA, emphasized the importance of
financial literacy as a foundation for inclusive growth
“Financial literacy is not a privilege for a few, but a necessity for all. By bringing this initiative closer
to the people of Masaka and other subsequent districts, we are building stronger, more informed
communities who can participate confidently in Uganda’s economic transformation. This chapter is a
commitment that no one should be left behind in the journey towards financial empowerment," Ayebare said.
On behalf of CMA Uganda, Ms. Lyn Tukei, Communications and Public Relations Manager, reaffirmed
the authority’s mandate and dedication to investor protection.
“Our role as the Capital Markets Authority is to ensure Ugandans access the right information, make
prudent investment choices, and deal only with licensed and regulated entities. Launching this
chapter and many others is not just about access, but about trust and safety; so that every Ugandan,
whether in cities or rural areas, can confidently engage with capital markets as a pathway to
financial security," she said.
This launch follows the successful establishment of regional financial literacy chapters in Western
and Eastern Uganda, with many more sensitization campaigns and partnerships between CMA and
UFLA planned in the months ahead.
Together, both institutions remain committed to ensuring that financial education and investor awareness reach every corner of the country.
