The best we can hope for is that the recent upturn in inflation doesn’t last long enough to meet up the monetary overhang that’s been created from late 2025. Unfortunately, looks likely they’ll catch up. #InflationUganda is up 3.7%/yr this June from 3.2%/yr in May.

Periods should not End Education.
Our member @syradouganda gathered for Menstrual Health and Hygiene - art, laughs, myth-busting & a renewed pledge for a period-friendly Uganda. When girls have pads & knowledge, they stay in school & out of child marriage.

[Girls Not Brides Uganda 🇺🇬 @GNB_Uganda]

Uganda will not grow while thousands of Girls are left behind:

National Youth Post Budget Dialogue

Today, we joined fellow young people and key stakeholders in reflecting on how the national budget responds to youth realities.

The dialogue created a valuable space to engage on issues that directly shape young people’s lives, including livelihoods, inclusion and equitable access to resources.

Represented by our staff member, @brenda_kawala, we contributed to the discussion by underscoring the critical link between land and youth empowerment highlighting how secure and equitable access to land remains central to meaningful youth participation in economic development.

As post budget conversations continue, it is clear that youth voices must not only be heard but actively shape how public resources are allocated and prioritised.

Uganda is one of the world’s youngest nations, with 78% of its population under 30 and about 23% aged 18–30. Yet youth unemployment remains a major challenge, with the official rate standing at 13.3% according to UBOS @CSBAGUGANDA #NYBD2026 #Youth4Budget #KnowYourBudget26

The passion for monetarism in him explains it all . Great job Okware 😊

[Okware Emmanuel @emmanuelokware_]

As a monetary economist following trends in government expenditures, Uganda is taking a dangerous path: budget deficits - money growth - inflation.
