Uganda

Uganda’s country identifiers are standardized for global communication and commerce. Its ISO 3166-1 codes, UG (alpha-2) and UGA (alpha-3), appear in international shipping, databases, and statistical systems. The international calling code +256 must be dialed after the exit prefix to reach Ugandan phone numbers. The country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) .ug enables local domain registration for websites tied to Uganda. The Ugandan shilling (UGX) is the official currency, referenced in financial transactions, contracts, and exchange markets. Together, these codes support accurate routing in telecommunications, domain administration, trade compliance, and business reporting, making them essential for enterprises, government agencies, and digital platforms operating in East Africa.
