Morphology
The phrase 'Ugandan culture' is directly compositional: an adjectival nationality 'Ugandan' modifies the noun 'culture' to mean the culture belonging to or characteristic of Uganda. This adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English noun phrase formation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Ugandan culture uses the image of things 'growing' to explain a people's shared life: the word culture can make you imagine music, food, and customs that grew and changed in Uganda. That's why Ugandan culture means 'the customs, beliefs, and traditions' of the people of Uganda.
