☘️National consultations on the East African Political Confederation continue to attract strong interest and participation from a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including the business community, government leaders, civil society organisations, youth, women, persons with disabilities, religious leaders and academia.

🔹The consultations provide a platform for citizens and stakeholders to share their views on the proposed Political Confederation, particularly its areas of cooperation, governance framework, decision-making processes, guiding principles, and the relationship between the Confederal Authority and Partner States.

🔹Their contributions will help inform the development of the Confederation’s constitutional framework.

In Rwanda’s north-eastern district of Nyagatare, bordering Uganda and Tanzania, citizens continue to shape the conversation on the East African Political Confederation.

🔹 Across all discussions, participants reaffirmed the importance of cooperation grounded in mutual respect and the sovereignty of Partner States.

🌍 The #EAC has intensified efforts to build a #SingleDigitalMarket by convening the 2026 Digital for Development (#D4D) Forum under the theme: “From Strategy to Implementation: Building the Digital Single Market.”

The Forum is advancing practical actions to make cross-border payments cheaper, digital services more accessible, and e-commerce more seamless across the region. Participants also identified investment-ready projects in digital public infrastructure, data sharing, e-government and interoperable payment systems that will benefit over 330 million East Africans.

The Forum also marks the launch of the EU–EAC Digital Economy, E-Commerce, E-Payments and Public E-Services (#DEEP) Programme, co-financed by the EU, Germany, France and Estonia.
The programme will support implementation of regional digital policies, strengthen e-commerce, e-payments, cybersecurity and e-government services, and accelerate digital trade and economic growth across East Africa.

“Digital transformation is no longer an option; it is a necessity for accelerating regional integration and expanding trade opportunities.” — DSG Annette Ssemuwemba @SMannette1.

*Did you know?*
Many victims of human trafficking are recruited through promises of good jobs, education opportunities, or a better life. What starts as a dream opportunity can sometimes lead to exploitation and and abuse.

[Hon. Eng Asiimwe Jonard. @EngJonard]

A Message of Profound Gratitude to H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni!

Your Excellency, President of the Republic of Uganda, General (Rtd) Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,

I receive with profound humility, immense gratitude, and an unwavering sense of patriotic duty Your Excellency’s gracious appointment of my person as Minister in the Office of the President in Charge of Science, Technology and Innovation.

This singular honour is not merely an elevation to public office; it is a solemn national trust, a call to stewardship, and a compelling mandate to contribute to Uganda’s scientific renaissance under your visionary leadership. I am deeply grateful for the confidence you have reposed in me and for the opportunity to serve our beloved nation at a defining moment in its transformation journey.

Your Excellency’s enduring commitment to science, technology, innovation, and knowledge-driven development has fundamentally reshaped Uganda’s development trajectory. Long before technological advancement became a global imperative, you recognized its strategic significance as a catalyst for national sovereignty, industrialization, wealth creation, and socio-economic transformation. Your foresight has inspired a generation of innovators, researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and young Ugandans to believe that the future can indeed be designed, engineered, and built by Ugandans themselves.

As I assume this responsibility, I do so with a clear appreciation of the magnitude of the task before us. The future of nations will increasingly be determined by their capacity to generate knowledge, harness emerging technologies, accelerate innovation ecosystems, strengthen research and development, and translate scientific discoveries into tangible solutions for their people. Uganda must not merely participate in this future; Uganda must help shape it.

I therefore pledge my utmost dedication to advancing Your Excellency’s vision of a scientifically empowered, technologically competitive, innovation-driven, and industrialized Uganda. I am committed to fostering stronger linkages between research institutions, academia, industry, government, and the private sector; promoting indigenous innovation; supporting transformative technologies; and ensuring that scientific advancement becomes an instrument of inclusive prosperity and national progress.

I also extend my sincere appreciation to the Government of Uganda, colleagues, mentors, scientists, innovators, engineers, development partners, and all Ugandans whose collective efforts continue to strengthen our national innovation ecosystem. This appointment is a reminder that leadership is most meaningful when it is exercised in service of others and in pursuit of a purpose greater than oneself.

To the young people of Uganda, this moment is a testament to the limitless possibilities that emerge when talent, discipline, knowledge, innovation, and patriotism converge. Let us continue to dream boldly, innovate fearlessly, and work tirelessly for the advancement of our nation.

Your Excellency, I am profoundly honoured by your trust. May God grant me the wisdom to lead, the courage to innovate, the discipline to serve, and the resolve to contribute meaningfully to the realization of Uganda’s transformation agenda.

For God and My Country.

This morning, I joined colleagues and regional stakeholders at Hotel Africana 🇺🇬 for the official opening of the Regional Validation Workshop on the EAC Artificial Intelligence Strategy (2026–2031), convened by @easteco1 in collaboration with @jumuiya and @eacgiz.

This workshop provides a critical regional platform to review and validate a common framework for the responsible, inclusive, and ethical development, governance, and deployment of Artificial Intelligence across East Africa. It comes at a time when there is growing continental momentum to harness AI for development—while also addressing risks such as algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, job displacement, and digital inequality.
