[Uganda Tourism Board @TourismBoardUg]

Today, Uganda has marked a historic milestone with the launch of the UWEC facility in Mbale, a major step in bringing wildlife conservation education closer to communities.

For years, conservation education was mainly accessed in Entebbe which required long-distance travel but today that barrier has been broken to allow local communities to directly engage in wildlife knowledge and environmental awareness.

Speaking at the launch, HRH Jude Mike Mudoma, Umukuka of Inzu ya Masaba, described the development as a turning point for Eastern Uganda that will create employment opportunities in areas such as conservation education, tour guiding, facility management, research assistance, community outreach, and hospitality services.

“Conservation took another step closer to the people.” — Prof. James Kalema at the launch of UWEC-Mbale.

The UWA Board Chair highlighted the importance of conservation education, public awareness, and community participation in protecting Uganda’s rich biodiversity.

" The new facility will strengthen research, environmental learning, and inspire more Ugandans to appreciate and conserve wildlife for future generations." #ConservationEducation #WildlifeConservation

Had a great time engaging with the Tanzania Tourism Board( TTB) , Girls in Tourism ( @GITA_Africa ) , UTALI Hub, and other key stakeholders from Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania yesterday morning.

It was inspiring to share ideas and explore opportunities for collaboration. These conversations reinforced the importance of working together to develop regional marketing strategies that showcase the diverse tourism experiences our countries offer.

By joining efforts, we can strengthen East and Southern Africa’s tourism brand, attract more international visitors, and create sustainable opportunities for businesses and communities across the region.

The African Youth Tourism Confluence,

Held in Arusha, Tanzania, brought together over 35 participants from across Africa, including both in-person and virtual attendees. The event united youth tourism organizations from Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, and South Africa, alongside stakeholders from government, tourism boards, industry, and media.
As the first physical meeting after months of virtual collaboration, the Confluence strengthened relationships and fostered deeper engagement among participants. Discussions focused on youth involvement in tourism, destination marketing, digital transformation, knowledge sharing, and cross-border collaboration.
The gathering also provided an opportunity to review progress from previous initiatives, introduce upcoming activities, and seek stakeholder support. Overall, the Confluence marked a key step in transforming virtual partnerships into practical action while positioning youth as vital contributors to tourism development across Africa.
