🇪🇹🌾 Ethiopia introduced a system allowing farmers to store crops in certified warehouses and use the receipts as loan collateral, according to the trade ministry.

This aims to prevent distress sales, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve market access for smallholder farmers.

Yesterday I visited Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, where a separate unit has been prepared to treat #Ebola patients. I'm glad for the opportunity to meet with health workers in charge and thank them for their dedication. I am very happy with all the work invested in preparedness and readiness that I have witnessed.

I commend the Government of #Uganda for the work being done to control Ebola and provide care for those affected. Uganda’s leadership has been central to the response, and @WHO remains committed to supporting national efforts to stop transmission, save lives and protect communities.

Mwebale nnyo.

Addis Ababa’s Riverside Development is far more than a riverbank beautification project. From the Entoto to Peacock corridor to the Entoto–Kebena stretch, this is a large-scale urban transformation that extends up to 50 meters beyond the rivers, creating green corridors, public gathering spaces, walkable areas, recreation zones, and commercial spaces that are reshaping the city itself.

What makes the project especially significant is its broader economic and social impact. Beyond improving the appearance and function of the riversides, it has created jobs for many people across construction, engineering, landscaping, logistics, and related sectors, while also generating opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and businesses. The fact that so much of the work is being designed and delivered locally highlights the growing capacity of Ethiopian expertise in urban development and infrastructure.

The sustainability aspect is equally important. Once dumping grounds for toxic waste and flood hazards affecting communities along the riverbanks, these areas are now being transformed into greener, healthier, and more liveable urban spaces. At the same time, the integration of commercial and public spaces demonstrates how environmental restoration and economic growth can work together rather than compete with one another.

This is a long-term investment in the future of Addis Ababa as a greener, more connected, economically vibrant, and people-centered city.

@SamsonMKasumba The issue is can an ordinary Ugandan raise 11M USD?

@nbstv These campaigns (if well intended) should be rolled out to other "small" schools especially upcountry with limited access to the new world of Tech and Opportunities.

@drstellanyanzi Resilience. Endurance .Ambition and Courage have seen you through! Kudos to all who came through.

This is great and they do deserve that. And, with some of the savings, we can zero out taxes on the bottom half of earners. The best way to put money in people's pockets is not to take it out in the first place.

Bwana @IAmSteveHarvey uganda is the real deal.

367 mammal species, 20 primate species, 2 planting seasons which means 2 rain seasons.

165 lakes in such a small country, 11% of world bird species, best weather in the world( annual average 28 degrees centigrade)

Many tropical rainforests which host those primates.

Source to the longest river The Nile found in Uganda and comes out of the worlds largest tropical lake, Lake Victoria

Great cultures bwana

@PostaUganda @Posta_Ugand @Posta_Uganda just the fact that you have three handles running on X explains a lot. However, this is not why I'm writing to you.
Are you aware of the vibrant online shopping community in Uganda? Jiji, for example. Plus many other online shopping platforms? And many individuals who sell their products online?
Do you want to work for Ugandans?
Each time an online transaction is made, there is a boda taking the product from the buyer to the seller, and a payment made either to the boda in cash, or to the seller via mobile money.
Do you recognise the gap that can be filled by your courier service?
Do you realise your courier can pick up the parcel, giving a receipt to the seller and a tracking number to the buyer? Then take the parcel to Posta for sorting and consolidation? Then take consolidated parcels to all Posta offices countrywide? Then last mile couriers deliver to the buyers, collect payment in cash or via merchant code? Then reconcile payments at the end of the day and remit payments to sellers, while keeping the shipping fees on Posta account?
Do you realise how you can boost online businesses countrywide with organised, reliable, and guaranteed last mile delivery?
Do you realise the parcels can be anything from slippers, clothing, tools, household items, to food and furniture, with guaranteed delivery within one to two days?
Do you have any idea how many more businesses can spring up if they know their last mile delivery is reliably sorted?
Do you have any idea how many more buyers can spring up from upcountry locations, if you give this a chance?
Just think of the role you can play. Sitting on existing infrastructure and doing nothing is probably the best. Why would you, after all, add more work and earn more money? Or, even better, why would you perform your basic duty of facilitating internal communication and trade?
Anyway, don't mind me. As you were.

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.

I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.

I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.
