For years, medical interns have protested to increase their monthly allowance from 750,000 UGX. Despite the Head of State’s pledge to fulfill the increment to 2,500,000 UGX, and in the face of a skyrocketing cost of living, the government has found a brilliant solution to the high cost of living; scrapping the allowance entirely instead of raising it. Apparently, when food, rent, and medical care become too expensive, doctors are expected to live on pure patriotism.

With this new development, the crisis in our public health centers will only get more dire.

Friends, this is no longer just an interns' battle, it is a crisis that affects every single Ugandan. We must all demand a fair treatment for our frontline health workers.

Who really wins in the coffee value chain?

For farmers, coffee is a livelihood. For the market, it’s a multi-billion dollar chain.

We are partnering with French Agricultural Research and international Cooperation (@Cirad) to map the entire coffee value chain, identify its most valuable segments, and use data to build a more equitable industry.

The future of coffee is not just in growing it, but in maximizing its value for farmers, industry, and the economy.

We just received a new member to the family! Mother and daughter are okay. This breed is known as the Ayrshire. It is a high milker producing up to 20litres a day in semi intensive systems. Ayrshire milk is preferred for its high butter fat content.
