UCPC

Uganda Cleaner Production Centre (UCPC) was established in October 2001, as a joint project of Government of Uganda, through the then Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry (MTTI) and United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The initial stages of establishments involved a process of selecting an Institution that was to host UCPC. This process was successfully carried out and Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI) emerged ahead of the Department of Chemistry, Makerere University and consequently UCPC has been hosted by UIRI since 2001.
