I would like to thank H.E. @PaulKagame, @FirstLadyRwanda and my counterpart General Mubarakh Muganga for the very warm welcome our delegation received in Rwanda. We had excellent discussions about our bilateral relations. Uganda-Rwanda relations are stronger and warmer than ever. We thank our two Presidents H.E.@KagutaMuseveni and H.E.@PaulKagame for their enlightened leadership of our two brotherly countries. Murakarama.
Today at State House Entebbe, I welcomed H.E. Moussa Saleh Batraki, Secretary General of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). I told him that Africans in the Caribbean and the indigenous peoples of the Pacific are part of our extended African family. I also support the proposal to relocate the OACPS headquarters from Europe, it would strengthen the Organisation’s independence and better reflect the interests of its member states. Uganda is ready to support this effort and deepen cooperation with the OACPS.
You're Invited! On 04 July,2026.
We warmly invite all parents and guardians to our Visitation Day to engage with your child's academic journey, interact with teachers, and strengthen the partnership between home and school in fostering excellence.

Today, I presided over the closure of the 3rd Programme Working Group Meeting for FY 2025/26 on the Innovation, Technology Development and Transfer (ITDT) Programme at Serena Hotel Kampala. This strategic engagement extended far beyond the operational scope of the STI Secretariat, serving as a critical platform for aligning Uganda's multi-sectoral innovation agenda. It brought together senior representatives from key ministries, departments, agencies, and scientific institutions - including MAAIF, MEMD, MoES, MoFA, MoFPED, MoGLSD, MoH, MoIA, MoICT&NG, MoJCA, MoLG, MoLHUD, MoTIC, MoWT, as well as KMC, UIRI, NARO, URSB, UNCST, and UVRI—to review progress, assess strategic priorities, and strengthen institutional collaboration. The exchange of progress reports, policy perspectives, and implementation strategies reaffirmed a fundamental reality: transforming research into scalable, market-ready, homegrown solutions cannot be achieved in isolation. It requires a coordinated national innovation ecosystem in which government, research institutions, academia, and industry work in concert to integrate scientific knowledge, technology, and innovation into national development.
Innovation has evolved from a policy aspiration into a strategic driver of Uganda's socioeconomic transformation and the attainment of a USD 500 billion economy under Vision 2040. Our national competitiveness will depend on our ability to convert indigenous research into commercially viable enterprises, technology into higher productivity, and innovative ideas into industries that create jobs, expand exports, and improve livelihoods. Achieving this ambition demands disciplined execution, evidence-based policy and legislation, sustained investment, and unwavering confidence in Uganda's homegrown ingenuity. By strengthening this integrated, multi-institutional innovation ecosystem, we are not merely improving institutional coordination; we are building a resilient, knowledge-based economy that accelerates inclusive growth, advances technological self-reliance, and positions Uganda as a regional leader in science, technology, and innovation.
A uniform reflects discipline, but character defines greatness. Last weekend, we celebrated our candidates at Prom not just a milestone, but the beginning of a brighter future. Wishing them success in their final examinations and beyond.
