International Youth Day!!!
Different Contexts. Common Aspirations.
Young people don't all live the same lives.
Some grow up in urban communities. Others in rural communities. Some have easy access to information and services, while others face barriers that make it harder to access the support they need.
But despite our different contexts, we share common aspirations.
We want to be healthy. We want to be heard. We want to make informed choices. We want opportunities. We want to shape our own futures.
At Public Health Ambassadors Uganda (PHAU), we believe that empowering young people with accurate information, meaningful participation and the right support is an important step towards achieving those aspirations.
This International Youth Day, we celebrate the diversity of young people while championing what connects us:

For Bank of Uganda (@BOU_Official), the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026 could risk weakening Uganda's economy, currency and financial independence.
BOU Governor Michael Atingi Ego, who appeared before the Joint Committee on Defence and Internal Affairs and Legal and Parliamentary Affairs said that the Bill, in its current state, would restrict cross-border inflows, such as foreign investment, remittances and portfolio capital.
“A country without reserves is not sovereign,” Atingi said, adding the country would experience a substantial depreciation of the currency if inflows fall, resulting in an economic disaster.
He said the bill also risks creating parallel oversight that could undermine the constitutional independence of the central bank. #11thParliamentEnds
Hmm!
Why would someone draft a national bill till parliamentary level without consulting from such key stakeholders?
Deliberately loosing time and resources sidelining more urgent issues of National important.
@BOU_Official true let's work on the reserves first.
"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.
A businessman discovered that 3 of his employees were studying and working simultaneously to pay for their education.
He decided to cover all their university expenses and explained that it wasn't a reward for working, but an investment in people who want to grow.
He's not building a company, he's building people. 👏

New Month. New Opportunities.
As we step into March, Public Health Ambassadors Uganda encourages every young person to prioritize their wellbeing physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Take time to check in with yourself.
Seek help when you need it.
Support a friend who may be struggling.
And remember that accessing health information and services is your right.

Around the world, people living with & affected by #HIV still face stigma & discrimination in healthcare, workplaces, communities.
This blocks access to services and put lives at risk.
#PeopleFirst is the only path to #ZeroDiscrimination.
