Question: Are women LESS corrupt than men?

“Power should shift to younger people because they are creative, hardworking and bring fresh ideas and energy,” said Olupot Noah, a student from Karenge District, proposing the motion: “This House believes that younger people make better leaders than older people.”
Noah argued that national development requires fresh thinking and the ability to turn ideas into practical solutions. He cited Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré as an example of what he believes young leadership can contribute to a country’s development.

@sharifahbuzeki Dear ED @KCCAUG and @MoWT_Uganda , what is with the growing trend of cutting down trees? Kindly address this issue as you plan for the city. No need of cutting these trees that and after we plant flowers, they won't do us any good. Thank you
Great learning has taken place. It was has been a great week. 👌🏾
Many young people have big ambitions but do not have the skills, connections or experience to turn them into opportunities.
We’re excited to launch the Youth Connect Inclusive Economic Empowerment (IEE) Pathway, implemented by Restless Development Uganda with support from the @UgBritish.
The programme will provide young people with practical training, mentoring, and workplace or business exposure, helping them build confidence and take meaningful steps towards employment or starting a business.
This week, we’re training the mentors and facilitators who will support them throughout the journey. 🚀

I joined this year’s #RotaryCancerRun with a heart that knows too well why the fight matters.
I ran for everyone fighting this battle, for the families standing beside their loved ones

WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR KIZITO. 🕯️💔
Kizito was not a criminal. He was a father of five. A husband. A human being with a family depending on him.
According to his family, Kizito was rushing to find his pregnant wife, who was in pain. It was around 6:50 a.m., just minutes before the 7:00 a.m. cleaning exercise. He reportedly tried to explain his situation to the officers, but instead of being heard, he was shot from behind and killed by our hardworking officers for failing to clean 😥.
A life was taken. A family was shattered. Five children have been left without their father. A pregnant woman was left without her husband.
Dear @PoliceUg, who will raise Kizito’s five children? Who will explain to them why their father never came home? Who will answer for the life that was taken?

⭐️Investing in Girls, Investing in the Future⭐️
The ongoing training with @girlrising is creating an important space to strengthen our knowledge, skills and approaches to advancing girls’ rights, education and empowerment.
It is inspiring to learn, share experiences and reflect on how we can better support girls to find their voices, pursue their dreams and confidently shape their futures.
At @RaisingTeensUg2 and @WezeshaGirls we believe that when girls are equipped with the right knowledge, opportunities and support, they can transform their lives and their communities.
Together, let’s continue to #RiseForGirls and build a world where every girl can learn, lead and thrive.

We opened with Girl Hour — practitioners in conversation with girls. Not to teach. To listen. One of the most powerful parts of the whole day.

One of the biggest things I have learned is the importance of speaking for myself.
I can access health services. I can make decisions about my body. I can choose family planning. I can have children. I can participate in budgeting and advocacy. I have rights, just like everyone else.
Understanding budgets gave me the knowledge to advocate for better services, but understanding my rights gave me the confidence to use my voice. And now, I want other young people to know that their voices matter too.

Sometimes you get into a space and realise you have to learn things you never thought you needed to know. For me, it was the budget.
I went from not understanding what a budget really was to reading it, questioning allocations and advocating for better investment in health and HIV services. Along the way, I also learned that advocacy starts with knowing your rights and being able to speak for yourself.
As a young person with a disability, I have learned not to let stigma or other people’s attitudes define what I can do or what I deserve.

“At today’s Forum we are reminded that meaningful SRHR progress is built through collective action.”
Through the Regional SRHR Fund, partners have supported young people and youth-led organisations to claim and advance their SRHR,influence policies and decision-makers,generate evidence for advocacy & create new voices and leaders for change.
The impact we celebrate today is not just about what has been delivered but about the capacity, leadership,evidence and partnerships we leave behind.

At the National SRHR Impact and Learning Forum, Ms Brenda highlighted the progress made in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights for adolescents and young people in Uganda.
She recognized the contribution of government, development partners, civil society, youth-led organizations and implementing partners in turning investments into meaningful impact.
The forum is an opportunity to celebrate what has been achieved, share lessons, strengthen partnerships and, importantly, reflect on how these gains can be sustained and scaled for future generations.

Young people must remain at the heart of conversations around sexual and reproductive health and rights.
From generating evidence and influencing policy to championing their rights and strengthening communities, young people are not simply beneficiaries of SRHR programmes. They are partners and leaders shaping the future.
#HIVOSSRHR #MVoicesUg
Celebrating Impact, Strengthening Partnership, and Shaping the Future” The theme of the National SRHR Impact and Learning Forum captures the work needed to advance SRHR in Uganda.
Brenda emphasized that sustaining progress will require continued collaboration, innovation, domestic financing and meaningful engagement of young people as partners and beneficiaries.
She also called for predictable partnerships and continued investment in evidence-based approaches, youth-led initiatives and strong community systems.
