Today, the second training session of the 2026 GRIT Programme (Growing Retailers Innovatively Together) took place at Booma Hotel in Gulu, bringing together over 250 retailers for a day of practical learning, engagement and business development.

Participants explored key topics including financial management, stock control, sales and marketing, responsible retailing, digital adoption and long-term business planning, practical skills designed to help them build stronger, more resilient and sustainable businesses.

The programme continues to be strengthened through collaboration with our partners MTN MoMo, NSSF SmartLife Flexi and Ability Explored. Together, we are helping retailers access digital financial solutions, build long-term savings habits, enhance financial resilience and develop the capabilities needed to thrive in today’s evolving business environment.
