We are actively shaping Ugandaโs National Action Plan on #UNSCR2250 i.e Youth, Peace & Security.
Our team engaged in a stakeholder workshop to build consensus on the planโs core principles & priorities.
@MpeeraG is part of the drafting committee advancing this important work.
Every child deserves more than survival; they deserve safe, clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene.
As we commemorate the #DayOfTheAfricanChild, we reaffirm that access to #CleanWater and #WASH is not a privilege but a fundamental right. Healthy children learn better, dream bigger, and build stronger communities.
Let us work together to ensure no child is left behind. ๐๐

By 2027, the FY 2026/27 budget success will be judged on three key outcomes:
โช๏ธFood prices: since most household spending goes to food, inflation driven by taxes on fuel, sugar, and cooking oil will be a major test.
โช๏ธService delivery: farmers must see better access to extension services and support at the grassroots.
โช๏ธPoverty reduction: success depends on how many Ugandans move from subsistence to productive economic activity through initiatives like the #ParishDevelopmentModel. - Mrs. Claire Atukunda

Unsafe food is silently making millions of Ugandans sick. An estimated 1.3 million people suffer from foodborne illnesses every year, placing a heavy burden on families and the health system. Uganda must urgently strengthen food regulation, testing and enforcement to protect every consumer. - Ms. @kiraboaggie #WorldFoodSafetyDay #SafeFoodForAll
#WFSD226: Food safety is not just a health issue. It is a national security issue. It is about peace, stability, and public confidence. We call on the incoming government to fast-track the establishment of a National Food Safety Authority and urgently strengthen Ugandaโs food safety framework. - Ms. @kiraboaggie
The danger is almost impossible to avoid because aflatoxins are not confined to a single food source. Uganda records an estimated 3,700 new cases of aflatoxin-induced liver cancer every year, yet the toxins can contaminate everyday staples such as maize, groundnuts, millet and cassava, and can also enter milk, eggs, chicken and meat through contaminated animal feed. This means that whether we consume crops or animal products, every Ugandan remains potentially exposed, making urgent testing, prevention and enforcement unavoidable. - Ms. @kiraboaggie
#WFSD2026: Expanding food testing should be a national priority. Personally, I continue to wonder why pregnancy testing kits are readily available, affordable, and accessible in almost every pharmacy and retail outlet, yet food safety testing kits remain scarce and out of reach for most consumers. The reality is that pregnancy is an occasional event, but exposure to food contaminants can occur every single day.- Ms. @kiraboaggie

Currently, 66% of over seven million primary school children in Uganda spend their school day without a meal. Those who do eat often receive inadequate nutrition. This is more than neglect; it is a violation of the fundamental right to food.

During the dialogue, our ED Ms. @kiraboaggie called for urgent action to end malnutrition in Uganda, emphasizing that nutrition is not just a health issue but a foundation for Ugandaโs tenfold economic growth agenda. She urged @Parliament_Ug to prioritize the #FoodandNutritionBill, fully implement school feeding programs, and enforce the #NationalNutrientProfilingModel to protect children from unhealthy foods.

Over 75% of Ugandaโs key food crops, including coffee, beans, simsim, sunflower, and mangoes, depend on bees. Yet pollinators are declining due to toxic pesticides and habitat loss.
Protect the bees, protect our food, protect our future. ๐ #WorldBeeDay #SaveTheBees
