Thanks to SEATINI Uganda
I finally got my products certified by Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) after struggling for a long time. I had many uncertainties about the certification process, but Mr. Hakim Mufumbiro from UNBS, who presented at a meeting organized by SEATINI Uganda, clarified everything for me. I paid for the certification, underwent an audit, and a sample of my product was tested, with satisfactory results. I received the UNBS certificate through the help of SEATINI Uganda, and I am grateful. It’s essential that women in business have access to the information they need, and I hope key players can make that happen.
