The Government of Uganda has signed a joint agreement with the Aga Khan’s Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) and Westgass International to set up a green hydrogen fertiliser plant in Kiryandongo District.  Speaking at the signing ceremony, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Ruth Nankabirwa, said the project seeks to increase the production of nitrogen fertiliser to about 200,000 tonnes annually. The plant is being set up in the context of the fact that agriculture, often hailed as the backbone of Uganda's economy, stands as a beacon of hope for economic growth and poverty reduction.
