An e-commerce platform
Through a partnership between UNCDF and SafeBoda
Risk communication & Community Engagement
Uganda, Africa
In Uganda, small-and-medium sized enterprises were badly impacted when public transportation halted due to COVID-19. Through a partnership between UNCDF and SafeBoda, the main ride-hailing company in Kampala, along with support from the Swedish International Devel-opment Cooperation Agency, UNCDF is supporting the development of an e-commerce platform that will connect market vendors to customers during the COVID-19 lockdown and beyond. Targeting an initial 800 vendors, the platform will connect vendors to households that need supplies leveraging the SafeBoda transport service. The partnership intends to help SafeBoda’s fleet of 18,000 riders earn income while reaching a projected 50,000 customers daily with food stuffs and good delivery. By maintaining commerce through this partnership, local value chains will be preserved while vital information and safety practices around COVID-19 will be shared via the app.
