It was an honour to be part of the Uganda Climate Innovation Challenge (UCIC) 2026 “The Final Pitch Event”
As Youth Member of Parliament for Northern Uganda, I believe climate action and youth employment must go hand in hand. Our young people are not just beneficiaries of development; they are innovators, job creators and drivers of sustainable solutions.
Congratulations to the six winners sharing the UGX 37 million grant and all 12 finalists for their outstanding innovations in clean energy, circular economy, regenerative agriculture and climate storytelling.
I also commend the launch of the National Waste Pickers Association. Our waste pickers deserve dignity, recognition, safer working conditions and a seat at the table in shaping our environmental policies.
My call to Government, financial institutions and the private sector is to invest in youth-led innovations through accessible financing, skills development and market opportunities.
To our young innovators: keep creating, keep pushing boundaries. Uganda’s green future is not waiting to happen,you are building it today.

“The impact we see in Adjumani shows what is possible when partners work closely with district leadership. We need to take these practical lessons to other districts and strengthen joint efforts with local government structures.”

“A girl who can manage her menstruation with dignity stays in school. A boy who challenges harmful norms becomes an advocate for equality. Investing in young people is investing in Uganda’s human capital.”

Yesterday the youth members of Parliament , @NYCofUganda chairman had a meeting with the @PPDAUganda Executive Director Canon Benson Turamye and the directors on PPDA reservation schemes to promote participation of youth in public procurement and Government contracts . Thank you for sharing valuable insights on the 15% reservation for special interest groups, simplified bidding and improved access to financing. With only 81 youth-led enterprises on PPDA’s Register of Providers, more must be done. As Youth MPs, we are committed to partnering with PPDA through capacity building, grassroots sensitisation and our leadership structures to equip more young people to access these opportunities, grow businesses and create jobs. #PPDA
