@NIRA_Ug I applied for my National ID renewal last year. However despite visiting your offices three times in the last two months none of your officers has been helpful to address this now extremely annoying delay. What does a Ugandan need to do to get a national ID??
Ageet Abraham Onyait, Senior Registration: “In line with Intellectual Property Rights, I urge all athletes to understand and speak up about their rights, starting with the details in their contracts.”

Mr @ageony , a Senior Patent Examiner at the @URSBHQ highlighted the urgent need for improved data collection and integration to enhance Uganda's innovation landscape. He emphasized that missing and outdated data, especially regarding government funding for education and research, significantly hampered the country's progress. Uganda's ranking had declined from 99 in 2016 to 191 in 2024. “Without reliable data, we cannot accurately assess our progress or identify areas that need improvement,” Mr. Ageet stated.
Although Uganda has strong institutional frameworks and effective environmental management, it struggles to balance innovation inputs and outputs, often achieving better results in investments than in tangible outcomes. To address these challenges, Mr. Ageet advocates for the establishment of a national data-sharing platform and stronger collaboration between academia and industry. By fostering partnerships and aligning research with market needs, Uganda aims to revitalize its innovation ecosystem and improve its global competitiveness.
