Uganda at the 2000 Summer Paralympics

Uganda participated in the 2000 Sydney Summer Paralympics with just one athlete, Prossy Tusabe , who competed in women's swimming (100m freestyle, S10 category) but finished last in her heat and did not advance to the final, marking a small but significant presence for the nation at its fourth Paralympic Games appearance.
