Today, on the Floor of Parliament, I presented a report on the status of HIV and AIDS in Uganda and the implementation of the Presidential Fast-Track Initiative (PFTI), launched by H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in 2017, with the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Through the Uganda AIDS Commission (UAC), established under the Office of the President, the Government continues to provide national leadership, coordination, policy guidance and oversight of the multi-sectoral HIV response.
UAC brings stakeholders together under the 1-1-1 Principle: One Coordination Body, One National Strategic Framework, and One Monitoring and Evaluation System, clarifying that UAC is a coordinating institution, not an implementer of HIV services. Uganda has registered remarkable progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
National HIV prevalence has declined from approximately 18% in the early 1990s to 5.9% today. According to the 2025 Uganda Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (UPHIA), prevalence stands at 7.3% among women and 4.1% among men.
The country currently has an estimated number of 1.55 million people living with HIV, with more than 1.4 million accessing treatment.
We have also registered significant reductions in new infections and AIDS-related deaths: Annual AIDS-related deaths declined by 65%, from 56,000 in 2010 to 19,000 in 2025; New HIV infections declined by 65%, from 96,000 in 2010 to 34,000 in 2025; Mother-to-child HIV transmission declined by approximately 78%, from 20,000 infections in 2010 to about 4,400 in 2025.
Uganda is also making commendable progress towards the global 95-95-95 targets. UPHIA 2025 indicates that 85.3% of people aged 15 years and above living with HIV know their status, 99.1% of those diagnosed are on treatment, while 96.5% of people on treatment have achieved viral suppression.
These achievements reflect sustained Government commitment under the leadership of H.E. President Museveni and the collective efforts of health workers, development partners, civil society, communities and other stakeholders.
However, despite this progress, significant challenges remain. The 34,000 new infections recorded in 2025 are still unacceptably high, with young people particularly vulnerable. Young women aged 15–24 account for approximately 30% of new infections. Other challenges include sexual and gender-based violence, HIV-related stigma and discrimination, inadequate prevention funding, and limited use of modern communication technologies and social media to reach young people with accurate HIV prevention information.
I therefore called for renewed commitment to HIV prevention through: Scaling up social and behavioural change interventions, including abstinence and faithfulness; Strengthening HIV prevention services for adolescent girls, young women, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and their partners; Mainstreaming HIV interventions across all Government sectors at national and local government levels. Intensifying efforts to eliminate HIV-related stigma and discrimination; Engaging community structures and networks in innovative prevention programmes, life-skills development and efforts to address gender-based violence and violence against children; sustaining the gains made and accelerating progress towards ending AIDS by 2030.
Congratulations Hon @DaudiKabanda

Today, I met my Bazzukulu, a group of young African content creators who use social media and other online platforms to tell African stories and showcase our continent’s resources, opportunities, cultures and potential.
I first took interest in their work during the recent Russia-Africa Summit, and invited them to come here.
I took them through the Five Historical Missions of Africa: liberation, democracy, economic prosperity, strategic security and African unity. I was pleased to see how their work promotes Africa’s potential and the spirit of Pan-Africanism. I encouraged them to continue using their voices and platforms to tell the African story and promote the interests of our people.

The Commander, Special Force Command (SFC), Major General Asaph Mweteise Nyakikuru, on behalf of the Chief of Defence Forces and Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations (CDF & SPA/SO), Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has today commissioned various infrastructure projects at the Special Warfare Centre and School – Camp Rufu in Ruhengyere, Kiruhura District. The commissioned projects include Camp Rufu Barracks, Quarter Guard, Ruhengyere Army Primary School, Senior Non-Commissioned Officers’ quarters, Commander’s House, Officers’ Mess, Dormitories (Rwigyema and Kainerugaba) and Museveni Auditorium Hall. These facilities cost the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs (MODVA/UPDF) a total of UGX 3,361,593,220. Speaking on behalf of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Maj Gen Asaph Mweteise Nyakikuru commended Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba for his unwavering commitment towards the improvement of soldiers’ welfare and the development of troops.
He said a well-catered-for soldier is expected to maintain operational readiness since his morale to work is high.
He mentioned that the Non-Commissioned Officers’ (NCOs) welfare scope is a critical pillar of military professionalism, discipline and mentorship.
“They are expected to remain the link between commanders and troops, maintain standards and ensure that the commander’s intent is effectively translated into action,” elaborated the SFC Commander.
To the Special Forces Group, the SFC Commander said: “I want to remind you that infrastructure alone does not create an effective fighting force. Our greatest asset remains the personnel, the humans, that is the soldiers, because one general said, humans are more important than hardware. So our main asset here are personnel.”
He urged them to continue investing in realistic training, physical fitness, tactical proficiency, leadership, discipline and teamwork.
“Maintain a high state of combat readiness and ensure that every soldier understands their role in accomplishing the given mission,” he said.
He further implored every commander to lead by example and ensure that these values are reflected both on operations and in their daily use.
The SFC Commander highlighted that the commissioned facilities have been achieved through considerable utilisation of resources.
“I therefore expect you to protect, maintain, and utilise these facilities responsibly,” he warned, further noting that “the completion of a project is not the end of our responsibility.”
Maj Gen Asaph Mweteise elaborated that the projects being commissioned today were made possible by financial support from the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs through Special Forces Command, complemented by resources from our own savings.
“These achievements demonstrate what can be accomplished through proper planning, teamwork, prudent use of resources, and commitment of personnel,” Maj Gen Mweteise further stated.
Maj Gen Asaph Mweteise Nyakikuru noted that the newly constructed facilities indicate the beginning of our duty to preserve the investment.
“Let us all continue to strengthen the relationship between welfare and operational readiness,” he appealed, further noting that “a well-catered force soldier is better positioned to train effectively, remain motivated, and respond to operational demands.”
He also noted that welfare must therefore remain an integral part of command responsibility.
The SFC Commander recognised both the construction committee and the civilian team engineers for their commitment to work and frugal handling of resources. He promised vertical construction at Camp Rufu to efficiently utilise the available space.
He concluded by thanking the Chief of Defence Forces for his unwavering commitment to improving the welfare of the officers and militants of UPDF.
The Commander of the 2 Infantry Division, Maj Gen Paul Muhanguzi, thanked the SFC leadership for the good work done, saying “this is proof that UPDF has advanced not only in combat readiness

Today, I had the honour of representing the President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E. Gen. (Rtd.) Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, at the burial of the late Hon. Olivia Kabaale Kwagala, former Woman Member of Parliament for Iganga District, held at Nakivumbi in Bugweri District.
Hon. Kwagala, who passed away after battling cancer, was the beloved daughter of the late Mr. Kabaale John Amulam and Mrs. Florence Kabaale Nansubuga. Her death is a profound loss to her family, the people of Iganga District, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), and the country at large.
In his condolence message, H.E. the President @KagutaMuseveni expressed deep sorrow over her passing, describing her as a patriot whose life was characterised by distinguished service, humility and dedication to Uganda. He noted that the country lost a young leader who departed in the prime of her life, leaving behind a legacy that would inspire generations.
The President paid tribute to her contribution to national development, peace and stability, particularly her service to the people of Iganga District and her commitment as a hardworking NRM cadre and mobiliser.
He further urged Ugandans to honour her legacy by embracing wealth and job creation at the household level, taking advantage of the prevailing peace and improved infrastructure to invest in viable enterprises across commercial agriculture, services, industry and Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
He encouraged the bereaved family to draw comfort from the meaningful and purposeful life she had lived and the contribution she had made to her community and country. He also saluted her for putting a brick (etofali) on Uganda's socio-economic transformation.
In my address, I commended H.E. the President for the financial support extended to Hon. Kwagala during her illness. I also conveyed the Government's commitment to strengthening cancer prevention, treatment and care services across the country, including the President's proposal to establish standard cancer treatment hospitals in every region to improve access to specialised medical services.
I appreciated the bereaved family, religious leaders, political leaders and all those who stood with Hon. Kwagala and her family throughout her illness and during the mourning period.
I delivered H.E. the President's condolence contribution of UGX 10 million, expressed my sympathy to the bereaved family and prayed that Almighty God grants them strength and comfort during this difficult time.
May the soul of the late Hon. Olivia Kabaale Kwagala rest in eternal peace.
For God and My Country!
