URSB meets Zombo District CAO to discuss business formalisation
The Arua Regional Office team recently engaged with Mr. Gilbert Abenaitwe, .the Chief Administration Officer (CAO) of Zombo district, in a brief but productive meeting focused on improving business formalisation in the district.

Mr. Abenaitwe expressed his commitment to working closely with the Arua team to implement these initiatives, emphasising that formalisation is crucial to the long-term development of Zombo District’s economy. The CAO highlighted the importance of raising awareness about the benefits of formal business practices, including improved legal protection and market expansion.
