Uganda Professional Drivers Network (UPDN) was founded in 2015 and formally registered in 2016 with The Uganda Registration Bureau as a Company Limited by Guarantee and as a Non-Governmental Organisation with The National NGO Board under The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uganda.
Therefore, The Organisation was formed to provide a platform for professionalising practising drivers and their Organisations and to be a Networking platform for Driver leaders, road transport industry stakeholders, driving schools, driver employers and Government. We do this to achieve coordinated, harmonised and standardised National Road Safety best practices by having in place a National drivers’ qualification framework informed by professional training, examination, accreditation and certification for safer roads besides coordinating National driver welfare and Health programs in Uganda.
