14 Sustainability For Socio -Economic Transformation: Consolidating The Gains NEC Company Profile 2024 OUR JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATIVE INNOVATION IN INDUSTRIALIZATION, CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, AND AGRIBUSINESS FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. In the dynamic landscape of Uganda’s economic evolution stands the National Enterprise Corporation (NEC), a testament to resilience, innovation, and unwavering dedication. NEC celebrates a journey marked by transformative endeavors, ground-breaking achievements, and unwavering commitment to national development. NEC was established in 1989 by an Act of Parliament Cap 312 of the Laws of Uganda as a State Corporation to serve as the commercial arm of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs (MoDVA)/Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) and to produce goods and services that are beneficial to the Defence Forces, Veterans and Civil Society. The Corporation activities are coordinated at the NEC Headquarters based in Bugolobi. It is supervised by a Board of Directors and managed on a daily basis by the Managing Director (MD) who is the Chief Executive officer and is responsible for the overall planning and implementation of Board policies. Each of the subsidiaries is headed by a General Manager who is responsible to the Board of Directors of the Subsidiary companies. The MD is a member of the Boards of all the subsidiary companies. NEC business is undertaken through its Subsidiaries and Joint ventures/Partnerships. NEC embarked on its journey with a vision to leverage Uganda’s potential for industrialization and economic growth. The above is in line with H.E Gen Yoweri K. Museveni’s strategic vision of building capacity for UPDF selfsustenance and also in line with Point No 5 of the 10 Point Programme of the National Resistance Movement on building an independent, integrated and self-sustaining national economy. NEC’s Vision is to be a sustainable commercial arm of the Uganda Defence Forces that generates goods and services for progressive socio - economic transformation and development among the Defence Forces, Veterans of UPDF and Civil Society with a mandate to produce and provide goods and services for the benefit of the Defence Forces, Veterans of UPDF and the general public. At its inception, NEC’s ambitious endeavor was evident as it established numerous subsidiaries across various sectors. However, this ambitious expansion also presented challenges, with some subsidiaries serving similar industries leading to duplication. Moreover, the sheer number of subsidiaries necessitated a significant commitment of resources making management a formidable task. These Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures included: 1. Luwero Industries Ltd 2. NEC Construction Works and Engineering Ltd 3. NEC Farm Katonga Ltd 4. NEC Pest Ltd 5. NECTARINE (Kasisira) Ltd 6. NEC Mobility (Transport) Ltd 7. NEC Bakery (Super Mugati)

NEC Wood Ltd 13. NEC Mukisa Biscuits Ltd 14. NEC Textiles (Ayon Industries) Ltd 15. NEC Delta (Fuel) Ltd Despite these initial challenges, NEC’s founding principles remained steadfast. Rooted in a commitment to harnessing Uganda’s human capital, NEC’s formation aimed to absorb young National Resistance Army (NRA) officers who participated in the armed struggle. This strategic approach laid the foundation for NEC’s journey towards becoming a formidable force in Uganda’s industrial landscape. Over the years, NEC underwent significant transformations, navigating through various phases of growth and adaptation. The liberalization of Uganda’s economy in 1993 marked a pivotal moment in NEC’s history, prompting a restructuring that saw the dissolution of many Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures while retaining a few key entities within NEC with a leaner structure of five subsidiaries focused on the production of goods and services for the benefit of security forces and these included : 1. Luwero Industries Ltd 2. NEC Construction Works and Engineering Ltd 3. NEC Farm Katonga Ltd 4. NEC-Lime Dura Ltd 5. NEC Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Around 2008, NEC entered into a Joint Venture with Iran Tractor Manufacturing Company called Ugiran. The Joint Venture however did not take off and the business was continued under the control of NEC trading as NEC TRACTOR PROJECT in 2009. Efforts were also made to operationalize NEC Pharmaceuticals Ltd by formation of a Joint Venture with Health World Pharmaceuticals Ltd in 2005. This Joint Venture did not take off and the facility is now being revamped. In 2010, NEC Tractor Hire Services Ltd was established as a Subsidiary of NEC to provide tractor hire services and in 2021 NEC Tractor Project was merged with NEC Tractor Hire Services to create NEC Agro SMC Ltd. NEC’s journey of evolution and growth is best exemplified by its diverse portfolio of Subsidiaries and Joint ventures. Under new management, NEC embarked on a path of reinvigoration guided by a vision of excellence, transparency, and accountability. The current structure of the Corporation includes the following Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures: 1. Luwero Industries Ltd 2. NEC Construction Works and Engineering Ltd 3. NEC Uzima Ltd 4. NEC Agro SMC Ltd 5. NEC Farm Katonga/Kyankwanzi 6. NEC Security Services Ltd 7. NEC T6 Industrial and Business Park NEC Joint Ventures/Partnerships include 1. Kyoga Dynamics Ltd 2. Pro- Heli Intternational Services Ltd 3. NEC-STREIT (U) Ltd 4. Egypt –Uganda Joint Model Farm Project 5. NEC-Meat and Beans Processing Ltd. 6. NEC WATU Ltd 7. NEC MMP Ltd Collaboration has been at the heart of NEC’s success story, with strategic partnerships amplifying its impact across diverse sectors and these have propelled NEC’s influence, contributing to economic growth and national security. As NEC celebrates its 35th anniversary, it does so with a legacy of excellence and a Vision for the future. From its humble beginnings as a Technical Unit to its current stature as a beacon of innovation, NEC’s journey embodies the spirit of resilience, perseverance, and collective endeavors. Today, as we reflect on NEC’s remarkable achievements, we honour its unwavering commitment to national development and its pivotal role in shaping Uganda’s socio-economic landscape. In the decades to come, NEC will continue to chart new frontiers, driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and contributing to Uganda’s journey towards prosperity. As we raise a toast to 35 years of NEC’s unparalleled contributions, let us embark on the next chapter of growth and transformation, guided by the principles of excellence, integrity, and inclusive development. Here’s to NEC – a symbol of Uganda’s potential, a catalyst for change, and a beacon of hope for generations to come. Cheers to 35 years of innovation and beyond!
