Being a mother is my highest calling but I'm equally fascinated by concepts of #publicpolicy #socialdevelopment #genderequality & #childprotection.

[DAN NOKRACH ODONGO @DANODONGO_NOK]

Once again, I warmly salute and thank all my dear friends, colleagues, and well-wishers for your continued support and encouragement. I look forward to meeting you on 14th August at the launch of my book, From Humble Beginnings.

This book is a reflection on my journey, from a classroom teacher to a headteacher, and from a civil servant to the Chief Executive Officer of the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB).

Along this path, I have learned that leadership is not defined by titles, but by service, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the people one leads.

I have also come to appreciate that while a title may open doors, it is one's actions, character, and dedication that earn lasting respect.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you and celebrating this special milestone together.

[United Nations SRSG on Violence against Children @UN_EndViolence]

Welcoming #AU Member States and partners to the validation of the Common Africa Position on Ending #ViolenceAgainstChildren and the AU Model Law on #OnlineChildSafety, which provide a strong foundation and reflect Africa's continued commitment to accelerating progress for children across the continent.

"Africa is home to the world's youngest population.

Children must not be seen as a problem to resolve, but as a huge capital to invest in.

Investing in children from an early age and through a life-cycle approach, in line with Agendas 2030 and 2063, is vital for resilient and sustainable social, human and economic development, and will provide a high return."

- Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid

I can't wait to read @dannokrach

Glad to announce that soon I will be launching my book "From Humble beginnings"

@DANODONGO_NOK I can't wait to read😊

@hkashillingi while I congratulate you on this, please remind the good Chair @mkainerugaba not to forget the #women I am sure he is thinking about it.

[Capt Damson Christmas Kivumba @DamsonCKivumba]

Congratulations to the newly appointed PLU CEC. This marks a new chapter of visionary leadership.

Special appreciation to Gen @Mkainerugaba for your vision to shape Uganda’s future. The mission is clear; the work begins now.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[UNICEF Ethiopia @UNICEFEthiopia]

Back in the classroom where she belongs.

In Ethiopia’s Amhara region, Community Care Coalitions are stepping up to support vulnerable families, ensuring children like Bethelhem don't miss out on an education.

Watch how community-led action is changing lives

@FrankGashumba, @ReachDrMuganga doesn't need to demonstrate his #Ugandan "ness" like this. The appointing authority knows him. There have been times when @Parliament_Ug has rejected a nominee & the HE has renominated. Just renounce the other citizenships, it doesn't matter which

[Frank M. Gashumba @FrankGashumba]

Very disturbing images!

[Harriet Akullu @acijja]

@AndrewMwenda @KagutaMuseveni It is good that you apologized to HE. Indeed, a shift toward substance, recognising that in a low-income econ like UG—where GDP per capita is low, the workforce remains in subsistence & private sector credit is around 13% of GDP—the state must help bridge the risk-capital gap.

@cobbo3 Pole Charles! I know it is hard for me to argue at this point along the reason of "....it's for your own safety...." I agree, perhaps the ID return process could be managed better, but without that stringent checks, it can be fetal.

Every girl has the right to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment, surrounded by love, care, and protection.

Thousands of little feet ran today for a big cause at UNICEF's Children's Race: birth registration.

Every child counted. Every child protected.

Because birth registration is the first step toward a lifetime of rights.

Good job, giving young people a platform to express their aspirations and show case their #Leadership talents. Shouts out to all the youth leaders who have participated today.

This is great that a bi partisan bill is signed into law by the president. Online abuse and exploitation especially, of children should end https://t.co/nL9OQA6Bl6

On March 18, we celebrated #socialworkers but until you meet social workers like Hiluf Fitsum below, it is impossible to put into perspective the #criticality of social work.

[UNICEF Ethiopia @UNICEFEthiopia]

This Social Work Month, we celebrate social workers like Hiluf Fitsum, who work tirelessly to ensure #children are safe, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.

[Harriet Akullu @acijja]

How can I not be proud of you #Daddy
You truly deserve this #ABETO award today.
