Uganda competed in the 2003 All-Africa Games which took place at the National Stadium in the city of Abuja, Nigeria.

Uganda sent a substantial delegation and entered thirty three events, some, like the women's 100 and 200 metres, with more than one competitor.

The individual bronze medals were won by Ajambo Irene in weightlifting and the boxing team of Jolly Kotongole and Sadat Tebazalwa.

In the individual events, Boniface Toroitich Kiprop, Dorcus Inzikuru, Justine Bayiga and Veronica Wabukawo all took part in two races.

Only the actions of Ugandan boxing official Sande Musoke enabled the bouts to happen when he surrendered his allowances to cover the costs.
