At FPSDI (Federation for Private Drivers Initiative), we understand that private drivers are more than just service providers — they are family men, caregivers, community members, and often the unsung backbone of mobility in Uganda. While their job puts them on the road, their lives go far beyond it.
Empowering Drivers Through Knowledge
Many private drivers enter the profession with limited formal training. FPSDI is changing that. We offer:
- Basic and Advanced Driving Courses
- Defensive Driving and Safety Education
- Financial Literacy and Business Skills
- Legal Rights Awareness and Road Regulations
Knowledge is power. When drivers are well-informed, they make safer decisions, command respect, and create opportunities beyond just driving.
Advocacy For Rights And Recognition
Private drivers often face low pay, long hours, and little recognition. FPSDI actively advocates for:
- Better working conditions
- Fair pay and contracts
- Social security and insurance inclusion
- Representation in national transport policies
We work with government bodies, NGOs, and private stakeholders to ensure that drivers’ voices are heard and their concerns addressed.
Practical Skills Beyond the Wheel
We believe in building drivers who are self-reliant. FPSDI offers practical, life-enriching skills such as:
- Basic mechanics and car care
- Emergency response and first aid
- Agricultural training for sustainable income
- Entrepreneurship for side businesses
These skills help our members diversify income and build stable, empowered lives beyond the road.
Driving Change, One Life At A Time
Our mission is not just to improve road safety — it’s to uplift the lives of drivers and their families. By equipping them with knowledge, advocating for their rights, and teaching practical life skills, FPSDI is shaping a new generation of professional, respected, and independent private drivers.
