A year older, a year refined.

Of promise, hope, and paths unclear.

Here’s my gift, a piece of my mind,

Many local governments continue to collect limited local revenue, resulting in a minimal contribution to both their own budgets and the national budget. This challenge is compounded by a high dependence on central government transfers, which reduces incentives and efforts to strengthen local revenue mobilization systems.-Mr. Peter Tukundane,Tax Policy Analyst, SEATINI.

The increase in the Agro-Industrialisation budget from UGX 1.8 trillion in FY 2024/25 to UGX 2.2 trillion in FY 2026/27 provides an important opportunity to support agricultural research, inputs, irrigation, extension services, agro-processing, and market access. Effective implementation will be key to achieving the intended impact.-Ms. Jane Nalunga, Executive Director, SEATINI

The growing demand for organic and agroecological products presents an important opportunity for East Africa to strengthen certification and labeling systems. Efforts to pilot agroecology labels and align products with local, regional, and international organic standards can help build consumer trust, expand markets, and promote sustainable agricultural trade across the region. — Mr. Chariton Namuwoza, CEO of NOGAMU
