The campaign will run across media, community engagements, enterprise hubs, and digital channels, spotlighting Ugandans who are redefining what progress looks like—on farms, in factories, in markets, in homes, and online.

Sam Mwogeza, Executive Director & Head of Personal and Private Banking, described it as an affirmation of everyday determination: “Ugandans have never stopped pushing
forward—through cycles, shocks, and reinvention. Keep Growing honours that spirit and reinforces our commitment to solutions that help families move closer to prosperity.”
Paul Muganwa, Executive Director & Head of Corporate & Investment Banking, linked the campaign to Uganda’s evolving economy: “As Uganda becomes more sophisticated and regionally integrated, our role is to enable capital flows—from trade corridors to agro-industrial value chains and infrastructure. Keep Growing signals that readiness.”

By equipping SMEs with investment-ready skills, we help unlock long-term value for Uganda’s economy. This campaign celebrates that ambition.”
