Uganda occasionally takes part in Miss Grand International; it debuted in 2013 and was represented by an appointed representative, Pierra Akwero;^[5] however, she was unplaced on the international stage held in Thailand.^[7] The license was transferred to different licensees each year, and all representatives were directly hand-picked; no Miss Grand National was held to determine the titleholders.^{[1][2][3][11]} Statistically, all Ugandan candidates competing at the Miss Grand International received non-placements.^{[7][8][9][10]}
