The Government of Qatar and the Government of Uganda have signed an agreement to enhance joint cooperation in the fields of labour and organise labour recruitment from Uganda.
The agreement was signed on behalf of the Government of Qatar by Minister of Labour HE Dr Ali bin Samikh Al Marri and on behalf of Uganda by Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development Betty Amongi.
The agreement aims to enhance the strategy of the Ministry of Labour in attracting skilled and qualified labour and bolstering their presence in the local market, improving the productivity of the private sector and upgrading the work environment.
Under the agreement, the two parties will facilitate the procedures for recruiting skilled labour from Uganda and supply the local market with the required competencies, qualifications, experiences and specialisations. The two sides will also review job opportunities available in Qatar and the skills and experiences required, and their availability in Uganda.
