We need more initiatives that give our youth a real chance to work and build careers at home.

“Investing in young people means ensuring they have access to reliable information, youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services and protection against sexual and gender-based violence.”

— Barbra Representing the @DKinUganda

[Micheal King @iammichealaa]

Parents have a responsibility to educate their children, but that responsibility must be matched by government support.

The gov’t must clarify its education financing policy, define what it covers and ensure parents are not excessively burdened by the cost of accessing education

[Micheal King @iammichealaa]

“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.”

— Hon. @BensonLugwar, MP Agago North

Access to sexual and reproductive health services in schools remains a contentious issue. A @Refugees representative notes that efforts to make condoms available in schools often face resistance from institutions concerned that doing so could encourage sexual activity.

[Micheal King @iammichealaa]

Menstrual health goes beyond providing sanitary products. It also requires safe and accessible toilets, clean water, handwashing facilities and an enabling environment for girls and women.

@PatriciaHumura of @AFRIpads calls for practical interventions that address these gaps.

[Micheal King @iammichealaa]

“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.”

— Maja Hansen, representing UNFPA Uganda

“No single institution can deliver lasting results alone. Progress depends on government leadership, partner resources, and community commitment.”

Maja Hansen highlights Adjumani’s strong leadership and the need to translate priorities into district plans and budgets
