1/3——This @UPRSOFFICE payout reflects an increase from last year’s Shs127 million, a slight but steady improvement in collections & distribution capacity.

💡 In Uganda, talent isn’t the issue—access to capital is.
In his new piece, Patrick K. Ssentongo explores how IPScore is reshaping cultural finance by turning music royalties and IP into credible, bankable assets.
📊 Using verified data from CMOs, distributors & telcos, IPScore assigns artists a credit score—helping bridge the gap between creativity and finance.
🎤 This innovation aligns with CfCA’s call for public investment and systems that value culture as an economic driver.
📌 Patrick is a Ugandan journalist and content producer spotlighting the intersections of policy, culture, and community.
