Since we are heading to the festive season, some stock even towards the month of December.
There are two main giants for this promotion in Uganda and that is Jumia and Carrefour which bought Shoprite.
“We know that our customers look forward to Black Friday every year, which is why this year’s event is our biggest ever. For five weeks, Carrefour customers can shop incredible deals and save on must-have items that will bring them joy this festive season. By making our Black November deals available even earlier this year and extending our promotions throughout the month, we are giving customers even more reasons to celebrate,” Carrefour communicated.
Despite the increase in the cost of living and prices of everything, they say they still can give back to their customers. Jumia too has announced the start of their black November this month.
This is an online market. Usually, during this period they celebrate their anniversary and chop the prices of all their items to almost half the original price.
Obviously, the customers are nothing but excited and expectant of what the companies have in plans for them.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
