UIA was founded in 1965 by insurance companies to promote the development and expansion of sound insurance and reinsurance activities in Uganda. We work to advance the interests of insurance and reinsurance companies by adopting a common strategy that encourages and promotes close cooperation, the exchange of business among members, builds on knowledge through research, influences the enactment of favourable legislation and represents the views of the membership to Government, quasi-government and private bodies. Membership The Association currently enjoys a thirty (30) company strong membership. Of these, twenty one (21) are General (Non-Life) insurance companies, eight (08) are Life Insurance companies and one (01) our national reinsurance company.
