[Parliament of Uganda @Parliament_Ug]

Deputy Speaker @Thomas_Tayebwa , Co-President of the OACPS-EU Parliamentary Assembly, addresses a news conference in Brussels, outlining key issues that should define the relationship between the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries and the European Union.

[Thomas Tayebwa @Thomas_Tayebwa]

Last evening, we held the opening session of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly at the European Parliament in Brussels, bringing together parliamentarians from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific to strengthen our longstanding cooperation.

As President of the OACPS Parliamentary Assembly and Co-President of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, I noted in my remarks that our deliberations should result in a partnership anchored in equality, mutual respect and solidarity.

I updated delegates on the discussions of the OACPS Parliamentary Assembly, which we held on Sunday. The OACPS would like to see an economic partnership that delivers tangible benefits, including investment, local value addition, skills development and decent employment in our countries.

The OACPS would also like to see tangible results in climate action and financing. Our vulnerable countries and communities are increasingly confronted by droughts, floods, rising sea levels and other climate-related challenges. We need accessible and affordable climate financing that enables countries to respond effectively without accumulating unsustainable debt.

I also called on parliamentarians from both sides to give renewed attention to the ratification of the Samoa Agreement, which provides an important foundation for our cooperation.

The speeches of the evening were reassuring. Speakers at the opening ceremony, including Nobel Peace Prize Laureate H.E. José Ramos-Horta, President of Timor-Leste; @RobertaMetsola, President of the European Parliament; @AndrewHolnessJM, Prime Minister of Jamaica; @younousomarjee, Vice-President of the European Parliament and others, spoke about the importance of the deliberations we are having at a time when multilateralism is under strain.

In the sessions I will co-chair with H.E. Francisco Assis, we will deliberate with the understanding that our shared commitment to cooperation, dialogue and multilateralism must deliver tangible results for the almost two billion people represented by the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly member states.

For some learners, getting to school is itself a barrier to education, particularly in rural areas. To ease this burden, we have provided bicycles to learners with funding from @EUinUG and the Kingdom of Belgium.

Yet, transport challenges remain. Our study on dormitory demand and learning spaces in 15 secondary schools found that one in three learners (33%) were boarders, with distance and transport difficulties being the main reasons schools cited for establishing boarding facilities. Safety concerns, the need for more study time and parental requests were other factors.
