# Kansai Plascon Uganda Advocates Industry Collaboration

Kansai Plascon Uganda has actively promoted enhanced collaboration among manufacturers, dealers, and government entities to address persistent challenges in Uganda's construction sector. At the 2026 Construction Hardware Dealers Association Annual Conference held at Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa in Kigo, Central Region, stakeholders discussed issues such as counterfeit products, overlapping taxes, and high credit costs. The event highlighted the need for partnerships across the value chain to improve quality enforcement and business standards, with Kansai Plascon introducing innovative solutions like color-matching technology to support sector growth.

- **Why this matters:** Procurement professionals should recognize the increasing emphasis on multi-stakeholder collaboration to strengthen supply chains and quality standards in Uganda's construction industry.
- Government agencies including the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives and Ministry of Finance are engaged in addressing fiscal and regulatory challenges impacting procurement and project delivery.
- Companies involved in construction materials and services can leverage emerging partnerships and innovative technologies to enhance competitiveness and compliance.
- This development signals potential for coordinated procurement initiatives and policy reforms aimed at reducing counterfeit risks and financial barriers in construction projects.
