Uganda’s creative industries contribute an estimated 3% of GDP, with significant untapped commercial potential.
Looking forward to speaking at #AUMEX26 and engaging in conversations around business development, strategic growth, and building a more competitive, commercially viable, and sustainable creative economy.

Most of us never read the laws that shape our taxes, our businesses or our rights...
@CivicCoded is trying to change that with plain-language civic info.
Found it, liked it, sharing it: civiccoded.com

Gotta hand it to you, @heidiklum - for sheer effort and imagination, this might be the greatest Halloween outfit ever. 👏👏🤣
I keep thinking about Billie’s reality check to Stuart in Italy:
"You don’t just take down a president, you take down a policy agenda and the stock market and the dollar."
That whole episode, "Phony Negroni" was excellent. 👏🏾😊
Because I'm a politics junkie and a Keri Russell fan (THE AMERICANS!), I've watched every season of Netflix's The Diplomat so far, without loving it.
But the end of this season's finale was actually brilliant and I did cheer out loud when Hal came out.

What monthly income would you need if work stopped tomorrow? Write it down: that’s your number.
This was the key message in my Rotary presentation.
Thank you for having me @KlaSpringers 😊

This is Not True.
On the Contrary. JP Morgan Launched a New Emerging Market Bond ETF in September (Uganda included plus many more )that in the next 2-3 years they plan to buy Uganda close to 4 billion USD worth of Ugandan Bonds.
Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia and likes are included.

I have come back to this headline almost 50 times. The fact that it is not on their Africa page but their main page. The sensational language, the provocative comparison. Knowing the authority Bloomberg has and its power to affect investment decisions. This is an economic hit piece.
Uganda is tapping its nearly $7 billion in reserves to lessen the blow of a plunging shilling, which is the world’s second-worst-performing currency this month after Iraq’s dinar. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Looking forward to seeing what practical ideas come out of the week 😊
What does it take to build a food system that sustains farmers, protects biodiversity and strengthens resilience to climate change?
In about 15 minutes, Josephine Akia Phiona, Country Coordinator @pelum_uganda, joins @ubctvuganda to discuss the 2026 Agroecology Week of Action, its significance and the conversations shaping Uganda’s food future.
📺 Station: UBC TV
⏰ Time: 6:30 pm
The Agroecology Week of Action kicks off on Tuesday, October 27, at People’s Square, Hotel Africana, Kampala, bringing stakeholders together to explore how agroecological production, policy action and market opportunities can contribute to a just and resilient food future.

🤔 The real win would be linking it to actual operators and clear booking pathways so the interest converts.
Perfect idea. Positioning the Uganda High Commission in London as a hub for @JulzKagwa and the Uganda Tourism Board would give us a strong, coordinated platform to promote the country freely across the UK and through our embassies in Europe.
This kind of targeted marketing can drive more high-value visitors, boost foreign exchange earnings, and help establish Uganda as the next major tourism destination - the Pearl of Africa that travellers are actively seeking.

Once upon a time some Ugandans were arrested & thrown behind bars for exposing the rot in Parliament.
Well today, @DailyMonitor carries a headline that says perhaps those people were not wrong after all.
The issues that the IGG has raised are the same issues that these innocent & well meaning Ugandans were arrested & thrown behind bars for pointing out.
If you’re one of those Ugandans who were arrested for Marching To Parliament, pat yourself on the back & smile because you always were on the right path. 😊
Looking forward to seeing concrete follow-up on the private sector side. 🧐
🇿🇦🤝🇺🇬 South Africa and Uganda have reaffirmed their commitment to deeper bilateral cooperation following the Ministerial Meeting of the Third Session of the Joint Commission of Cooperation in Pretoria on 20 October 2026. Both Ministers emphasised regular political consultations, implementation of agreed commitments and removal of trade barriers to unlock investment, strengthen private-sector partnerships and advance shared priorities within the AU and EAC. #ECD #Uganda #SouthAfricauUganda

“On one watermelon, you pay taxes about five times.”
Women said charges add up across mobile money, transport, market entry and stall fees. How can small businesses survive when one product attracts multiple charges?
