The Ugandans are 14 strokes off the leaders and defending champions Zambia who are in the lead with a total of 237 gross with Kenya in second with 249.
Hosts Malawi are last with 288 in the biennial tournament that has attracted four countries.
The three-day stroke play championship will be played over 54 holes.
Two-time champions Tanzania (2009&2011) did not make it to the championship that is aimed at giving regional golfer's confidence and experience in international competitions, and the hosts a feel of hosting international events, ahead of the All Africa Challenge Trophy competitions.
