From 10 to 12 September 2025, His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V made his first official visit to Uganda as the 50th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, at the invitation of His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

In Kampala, His Highness, together with Princess Zahra Aga Khan and Prince Aly Muhammad Aga Khan, was received at State House by President Museveni and the First Lady, the Honourable Janet Museveni. The delegation joined the President and First Lady for formal talks centred on the long-standing partnership between the Ismaili Imamat, AKDN and Uganda, and shared priorities for future cooperation.

During the visit, His Highness was conferred with the Most Excellent Order of the Pearl of Africa (Grand Master), Uganda’s highest civilian honour. Princess Zahra was also honoured with the Excellent Order of the Pearl of Africa (Grand Commander) in recognition of her long-standing contributions to health, education and women’s empowerment.

At the Aga Khan University (AKU) campus in Nakawa, major new investments in higher education and health care were inaugurated, including the official opening of the first phase of AKU’s 60-acre Kampala campus. His Highness and President Museveni also marked the commencement of construction of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Kampala.

This short film revisits key moments from the visit.
