Commissioner General, Uganda Revenue Authority

SESSION 6: Heart Session: A Grander Vision

  • During her 20-year career as a public servant, Kagina has transformed the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) by taking on corruption, increasing service-orientation and winning awards for innovation
  • Motivated by a desire to convert Uganda from a borrower to a giver nation, her reforms have led to higher revenue attainment, allowing the government to increasingly fund its national development plan
  • The URA has become a model public institution for developing countries; Kagina is a sought-after speaker who regularly addresses international forums on resource management
