{UAH} NRM MANIFESTO: 2021-2026: REGIONAL INTEGRATION

5. ACHIEVING ECONOMIC
AND POLITICAL INTEGRATION
Uganda is an anchor state in championing economic and political
integration. Therefore, NRM remains committed to the urgent need for
the economic and political integration of Africa.
NRM recognises the fact that Uganda's current market, estimated at 45
million people, is insufficient to guarantee the country and its people's
prosperity. As industries expand to attain mass production, NRM will need
to take advantage of Africa's market of 1.3 billion people. This is why
NRM joined other African governments to sign the African Continental
Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement, which removes obstacles to
movement of goods and people across African countries. NRM will also
continue to advocate for political integration for strategic security.
NRM is aware that economic prosperity alone is not enough. Political
integration is the only safeguard against aggression from bigger
powers. Therefore, NRM will continue to pursue the policy of integration
for prosperity and strategic security. Our commitment to regional issues
remains unchanged.
Finally, Uganda is on the right trajectory. Through our collective effort,
the democracy rating is growing and maturing while people's freedoms
are entrenched and safe. The social, economic and political gains are
cemented and irreversible. We have a lot to be proud of and a lot to
be grateful for. At this rate, Uganda is unstoppable in securing your
future.
The above five areas of focus form the structure of this manifesto,
each divided into chapters that show in detail what NRM has achieved
and plans to achieve in the next five years.
