[DR. CHRIS BARYOMUNSI @CHRISBARYOMUNS1]

While appearing on a panel discussion in a side event on the sidelines of the ongoing UNGA in New York, a moderator asked me how we ensure homosexuals in Uganda are not discriminated while accessing healthcare since we have a law on LGBTQIA. I assured the audience, which was largely white, that our law just confirms African belief, tradition, custom, ethos and culture; that homosexuality is not African. It is just s learnt behaviour, whchi we detest. That notwithstanding, Uganda does not discriminate homosexuals while receiving all kinds of services including health care. Uganda uses the principle of Jesus; He hated sin but embraced sinners.

A most satisfying opening to #UNGA81. Encouraging to see leaders address some of the most important issues of our age; #AI, ending major conflicts, the climate crisis, and restoring trust in our multilateral system.

As we conclude our TPEN Small Grants 2026 grantee spotlight series, we are proud to highlight the final group of grassroots organisations turning community needs into practical action for menstrual justice across Kenya.

From school-based menstrual health support and reusable products to climate-smart solutions, peer-led education, intergenerational dialogue and youth leadership, these projects are addressing the barriers that continue to affect girls and young women’s ability to manage menstruation with dignity.

@WaziKenya @Zamara_fdn @DDINITIATIVE and @tamaniyouth are bringing locally led solutions to schools and communities, creating spaces where girls and young women can access information, support and resources while challenging menstrual stigma.@IriseInt #MenstrualJusticeForAll #TPENSmallGrants2026 #PeriodEqualityForAll

A Day of Hope for 300 IDPs

Today, I was privileged to serve 300 internally displaced persons in Kwalib, Dalami County, Nuba Mountains, with food and essential non-food items. Grateful to be part of bringing hope and dignity to families in need.

Should the next Secretary-General of the United Nations be an African?

The top diplomatic job in the world is up for grabs at the end of this year when Antonio Guterres steps down after 10 years in the post.

There are eight candidates currently in the running.

Directly engaging in culturally sensitive topics like FGM is counterproductive. We integrated FGM with menstrual hygiene, cervical screening, breast examination, sickle cell & created safe spaces for Sudanese women in Mukono to ask questions and discuss the risks of FGM.

Moments with Sudanese Volunteers after the Hope and Hygiene Integrated Health Camp in Mukono. Many refugees in Uganda are uniquely skilled in different fields that could benefit the host communities if utilized well.

[Saam Salley Humanitarian Ad Agency @SaamSalley]

The Hope and Hygiene Health Camp with the Sudanese refugee women in Mukono entailed services like screening for sickle cells, cervical screening, breast examination, TB screening, distribution of sanitary pads, nutrition assessment and a mental health clinic.

Today we held the Hope and Hygiene Camp that integrated menstrual health education and practical healthcare for Sudanese refugee women in Mukono, powered by @IriseEastAfrica with technical support from Nama Health Impact.

Know the facts about Breast Cancer.

If not detected and treated early, the cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body.

Early detection saves lives.

97.8% of AU Member States have National Action Plans on Antimicrobial Resistance. But only 32.6% are costed, budgeted and monitored.

That gap is where implementation must begin.

Last month in Mombasa, Africa CDC, AU-IBAR, AU-PANVAC and AU-IAPSC convened Member States, Regional Economic Communities and partners to build a roadmap for turning the @_AfricanUnion Framework for AMR Control 2026–2030 into measurable action.

The focus: results-based accountability, clear roles, sustainable financing and a One Health approach.

Because what we cannot measure, we cannot improve, and what we cannot hold accountable, we cannot sustain. #AfricaReady #AMR #OneHealth

Second day of the operation to rescue street children in Kampala.

A total of 50 children (32 boys and 18 girls) have been rescued today from areas of Owino, Nakasero, Guanda & Kisenyi markets and Kibuye.
These have been transferred to Masulita Children's Rehabilitation centre where they will be sheltered for now as they get medical attention and rehabilitation.
The operations are still ongoing #ForALivableCity.

"It is with great shock and profound sadness that I mourn the passing of His Majesty Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the Omukama of Tooro.

He ascended the throne as a child, and from his earliest years grew into the gracious and devoted monarch he became. Across more than three decades, he gave his life to the service of his people, to the youth of his kingdom, to their education, their health, and their heritage.

That a life so devoted has been taken so young is a sorrow felt far beyond the borders of the Kingdom. This is a massive loss indeed, for Tooro and for Uganda.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Queen Mother, with the Royal Family, and with the people of Tooro at this time of immeasurable loss and pain.

May his soul rest in eternal peace."

Ambassador Olara Otunnu
