Happening Now at Nakawa Division Hall!
The LCA Uganda Livelihood cluster—led by Barbara Atukunda of @WezeshaImpact_ is running a dynamic entrepreneurship training for Self-Help Groups (VHTs, Para-social workers, and CHEWs) from Mukono, Wakiso, Entebbe, and the 5 divisions of Kampala.
Using the 2-Gen model, this initiative equips these crucial pillars of the local community with critical business skills in entrepreneurship and business development to transform livelihoods. 📈
Huge thanks to our coalition members @esauganda02, Wezesha Impact, @GirlUpUganda, and @ipfug for driving this forward, and @CapaidsUganda for providing technical secretariat support. Shout out to @TsuukaUg for facilitating the training!
We are incredibly grateful to @KCCAUG for their steadfast partnership and extend our deepest appreciation to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation for the generous funding that makes this impact possible. 🙏💼

Happening Now at KCCA Nakawa Division Hall!
Our ECCD Cluster, led by Doreen Mirembe from Mukisa Foundation, is currently conducting an essential training on the Two-Generation (2-Gen) Approach to Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD).
To build a truly supportive ecosystem for Uganda’s youngest citizens, we have brought together a diverse group of frontline workers across key sectors:
Health: Nutrition officers and Village Health Teams (VHTs)
Protection: Para-social workers, probation officers, mother leads of approved homes, and the Police Child Protection Unit
Education: School inspectors, Centre Coordinating Tutors (CCTs), and heads of mapped ECCD centres
Livelihood: Community Development Officers (CDOs), youth officers, and agribusiness officers
These dedicated participants will cascade these vital skills directly into their communities—creating stronger families and brighter futures for young children.
As a proud member of LCA Uganda, Mukisa Foundation is honored to implement this initiative in close partnership with government agencies at all levels. This impactful activity is generously supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

We’re thrilled to welcome Ms Vivian Oyella, a representative from @hiltonfound to our resource mobilization and partnership strategy development workshop!
Aligned with LCA Uganda’s forward-thinking vision to diversify our funding streams, she challenged us to think creatively and move beyond traditional fundraising approaches while being radically inclusive of refugee leadership.
To drive sustainable growth, we’re anchoring our strategy on two core pillars:
🔹 Amplifying Strengths — Leveraging the unique capabilities of our individual members
🔹 Building Networks — Strategically cultivating high-value partnerships.
Together, we’re charting a bold path toward impactful, sustainable, and manageable growth.

@TMweeri@UEDCLTD Not only Mukono all over. It's been like this in Nansana as well. These guys don't know the damage they are causing on our electronics
@zapharofficial@UEDCLTD We have not had power since 11am in the morning today till now. Here at Nasere Ganda 🤔🤔. But @UEDCLTD mulimba nyoooo even in the weekend like this?
@UEDCLTD Kindly note that This has happened for over two weeks but not today only. It's a routine. Electricity is on and off and we have slept in the dark for two solid weeks. Why??????
@UEDCLTD What is the purpose of keeping us in darkness for two weeks now ( Nansana Ganda -Nasere)? Do you know the risk you are putting us in ? Power drops for 10 minutes then it will appear again for the same time after two days. Why ?
Integrating Policy with Practice
During the Risk Matrix formulation, Agaba Robert, Head of Programs at Set Her Free @SetHerFree1, emphasized that a "zero-tolerance" policy is only effective when supported by clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). He noted that while policies set the standard, SOPs provide the essential roadmap for handling cases consistently and safely.
Furthermore, Robert advocated for a participatory approach to risk management, stating that controls are most effective when co-created with all staff. Involving the entire team ensures that mitigation strategies are informed by diverse perspectives and benefit from collective ownership.
