It’s a privilege to be part of an amazing institution and community @UnivBugema
Yesterday, the Prime Minister of Uganda Hon. Robinah Nabbanja graced Bugema University’s 32nd graduation ceremony! 🎓🇺🇬
Beyond celebrating the graduates, the Prime Minister officially opened the newly built science complex, took a tour of the state-of-the-art facility, and planted a tree to mark the milestone. 🌱🔬

Kudos 🫡 to the @EUinUG
Uganda’s generosity towards refugees deserves shared responsibility. At today’s dialogue on durable solutions, I reaffirmed Team Europe’s commitment: investing in services, skills and jobs so refugees and host communities can build a better future together.🇪🇺🤝🇺🇬

The Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises (FSME) hosted a two-day trade show at the OPM Grounds, giving local businesses a much-needed market platform.
Today, I stopped by as a young entrepreneur and was impressed by the creativity of youth-led business.@URAuganda @URSBHQ

Well said @WinnieKiiza
What will it take to get more young Africans into positions of political leadership? Beyond encouraging participation, we must examine how political parties recruit, nurture and promote young leaders, and whether our political systems genuinely make room for new voices. Africa needs young people who can move from political participation to political influence.

I want to take this opportunity to thank @SpiroUganda for bringing the bikes to Arua.this has made lives of a lot of youths better since they are now able to get the Spiro bikes at affordable prices and keep them busy all day hence earning some income to provide for there families in these hard times of the economy,Salute🫡.
Inducted last Friday, and this evening I attended my first physical Rotaract fellowship! 🎉 Meeting the Rotaractors of Arua in person, playing games, and connecting with everyone was a joy. So glad to be part of this journey. 💛

On this International Safe Abortion Day, we call for solidarity and collective action from the government and health systems to prioritize bodily autonomy and accessible healthcare.
No woman or girl should have to risk her health or her life because of unsafe abortion, barriers to care, stigma, or discrimination.
Comprehensive abortion care is a matter of health, dignity, and rights.

Every day of inaction puts another girl’s childhood, rights and future at risk. @youthchaperonug calls for urgent action to uphold Article 6 of the Maputo Protocol: end child marriage, guarantee free and full consent, and enforce 18 as the minimum marriage age. #SRHRAdvocacy

Speaking at today’s #NationalYouthSymposium26, organized by @NimdUganda with EU🇪🇺 financing, our Deputy Ambassador Eole Sury, reminded young Ugandans that leadership, especially youth leadership, is not just about having a title or occupying an office. It is about service. 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇬
Happening now: Students at @UnivBugema Arua Campus are demonstrating over concerns about poor services, fee increments and limited student engagement.
Students are seeking accountability and transparency over the increased fees, including the BUSA fee rising from UGX 27,000 to UGX 35,000. They question the justification that the main campus charges the same amount, particularly when they have not seen corresponding improvements in services.
Students are calling on the main @UnivBugema administration to clearly explain why fees are being increased, how the funds are being used, and why students are not meaningfully engaged in decisions affecting them.
Students deserve transparency, accountability and meaningful engagement.

Funding cuts are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. They have real consequences for communities, services, and the people who depend on them. As resources shrink, so does the ability to sustain essential support and reach those who need it most.
Sustained funding helps keep services accessible, strengthen community-led responses, and protect the progress already made.
Adolescent girls and boys at the Community Score Card under @SHESOARS_Ug in Omogo health center , implemented by @FondtrustA in Terego District and funded by @GovernmentofCa3 , are calling for stronger and sustained Adolescent SRHR education at Omugo Health Centre IV.
With teenage pregnancies reportedly increasing, NGOs and partners must invest in more targeted SRHR education, information and services for adolescents not only when projects are running, but as a sustained intervention.
Let’s act now to prevent teenage pregnancies and ensure every adolescent has the knowledge and support to make informed choices. #SHESOARS

As a SHE SOARS YAB member under @Restless_Uganda ,
I’m proud to be part of the ongoing Community Score Card (CSC) process, contributing to its sustainability and strengthening Meaningful Youth Engagement.
Last week, we held CSC sessions at Chilio Health Centre III, followed by Odupu Health Centre III on Monday and Tuesday. Today and tomorrow, we are at Omugo Health Centre IV, bringing together adolescents, community members, leaders and health workers to identify challenges, share experiences and co-create solutions for better health services provision.
Youth voices must be part of building solutions that last.
