The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development. Technology must always be subject to ethics; an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or a worker's value. Access to work for all must be a high priority for public policies and economic processes, serving as a criterion for evaluating the human quality of any development model. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Building a more sustainable economy starts with rethinking how businesses create and sustain value.

At Uganda Innovation Week 2026, the Member Value Track workshop, led by Ovation eco in partnership with @EnabelinUganda, @EUinUG is exploring how businesses can rethink their value chains to identify gaps, reduce waste and unlock opportunities for circularity.

Facilitated by Luisa Schillinger, the session is highlighting practical approaches such as refusing, reducing, reusing and refurbishing to make better use of resources, extend product life and develop more sustainable business models.

The takeaway: Circularity is more than waste management. It is an opportunity for businesses to rethink their operations, use resources more efficiently and create lasting value.

Uganda’s next innovation decade must be about more than developing prototypes. It must be about turning homegrown ideas into market-ready solutions that can scale and compete globally.

Speaking at Uganda Innovation Week 2026, Ms. Julian Rweju Mani of @NITAUganda1 highlighted three priorities for strengthening Uganda’s innovation ecosystem over the next decade:

1. Design commercialisation into public funding. Support innovators beyond the prototype stage through market validation, procurement pathways and private-sector co-investment.

2. Make public procurement an innovation tool. Create opportunities for local innovators to develop solutions for government, access public markets and scale their businesses.

3. Bring the informal sector into the innovation ecosystem. Recognise, support and create opportunities for innovation happening beyond formal technology and startup spaces.

She also emphasised the importance of stronger digital infrastructure, affordable internet access, open data and collaboration across government institutions.

The takeaway: Uganda’s innovation future depends on turning local ingenuity into market-ready solutions while creating an ecosystem where innovators across the country can participate, grow and compete.

Young people need more than skills to access dignified and fulfilling work. Education, labour, and financial systems shape what’s possible for them. Stronger collaboration across these systems can unlock pathways to employment at scale. Learn more here: https://t.co/lTxAb6kQXb

PROFESSIONALISM ( key word) is the backbone of a competitive private sector. Academic qualifications are important, but practical competence is indispensable. Our young people must spend more time on internships, industrial training, apprenticeships and real workplace experience. The marketplace rewards skills, discipline, integrity, productivity and RESULTS, not certificates alone…. Our institutions of higher learning need to be cognizant of this….most of our output from this institutions is simply very raw .

Transformation is not a single intervention or model. It is a fundamental shift in how higher education relates to young people, economies, and communities, and in how institutions organize themselves to deliver on that purpose. https://t.co/3IeBASgVCV

Uganda lacks people of integrity to drive transformation - BoU deputy governor.
He said this remains a barrier to transformation because in such a situation there is no value addition, togetherness and love for the country https://t.co/fvfUxxJ4up #MonitorUpdates

The Department of Labour, Industrial Relations & Productivity is in Jinja for a five-day technical review workshop on the draft Annual Labour Inspection Report for FY 2025/26, held in partnership with @EnabelinUganda.
The draft records 3,216 inspections, 1,822 productivity assessments and 20,218 training and promotion activities. However, only 52.9% of the 157 entities in the reporting frame submitted data, highlighting the need to improve completeness and quality of reporting.
In opening remarks delivered by Ms. Martha Irankunda (acting head, International Labour Standards and Trade Agreements Reporting Section), Commissioner Labour, Industrial Relations and Productivity Mr. Alex Asiimwe appreciated @EnabelinUganda for the technical and financial support and continued partnership in strengthening labour administration.
“I call upon all participants to give this exercise the attention it deserves. The quality of the final report will depend on our collective contribution and our willingness to examine the evidence carefully,” Mr Asiimwe said.
Mr Brian Barigye, the activity team leader at the Secretariat, said by the end of the workshop on Friday, participants will verify the data, resolve inconsistencies, refine findings and recommendations, and agree on a final draft with a clear action plan.
