The importance of networking in Uganda's business ecosystem can't be overstated. Excited for future collaborations! #KAS4Innovation
In solidarity, we joined vibrant Sudanese entrepreneurs who have been displaced from the civil conflict raging on at the epicentre in Khartoum.

The @UNDPUganda Journey 2019-2023 has indeed been one of crisis, change and uncertainty, and one whose development agenda has been enabled by the power of digital innovation and transformation 🚀
@UNDPUganda continues to nurture a #DigitalUganda through:
#Timbuktoo enhancing innovation ecosystems in Uganda's public universities 🏫
#NARIS Platform enhancing nature resource management through data visualization 📍
Partners such as @ChargeKo powering digital solutions 🔋
In #Uganda, @UNDP has partnered with youth-led enterprises:
@ChargeKo providing charging solutions and expanding rural energy access 🔋
@DivineBamboo developing clean energy cooking solutions with bamboo 🌱
Weye Clean Energy converting organic waste material into briquettes ♻️
#COP28 provides a strategic opportunity for nations to agree on clear plans to drive #ClimateAction, and for African nations to offer global solutions for #GreenerEconomies 🌍
@UNDP has an important role to engage with global leaders and climate experts to chart the way forward.
I am proud to announce that today @UNDPUganda will commemorate Energy and Mineral Week 2023 by adding an electric car #EV to our vehicle fleet to reduce our carbon footprint 🚘
In a very real way, UNDP is driving Uganda's sustainable energy transition 🔋
#YouthInnovationExpo23 has been a celebration of Uganda’s innovative spirit, and a triumph for young people determined to shape the future for people and planet 🌍
Thank you to all you joined and contributed to the @Makerere x @UNDP Youth & Innovation Expo 💡

Earlier this week, @NPA_UG visited our spaces in #Jinja, #Gulu, #Mbarara, #Kampala and our #Makerspace@MotivUG .

While at our spaces, they had the opportunity to interact with some of the entrepreneurs including @ZofiCash , @ChargeKo , @tubayotravel and others to get first-hand knowledge and experience in the ecosystem.
