Advancing Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) in Uganda through International Collaboration

As part of the ODeL-UG Project, representatives from RENU, the National Council for Higher Education (@nche_uganda), @kabuniversity , and @MMU_Uganda are participating in a capacity building and knowledge-exchange visit to the University of Lisbon, Portugal, and @maastric_1, the Netherlands.

From 27th to 29th May 2026, the Ugandan delegation visited the University of Lisbon, where they engaged with experts on the institution’s ODeL framework, regulatory and policy environment, curriculum development approaches, and digital infrastructure, including its data centre facilities.

This week, the delegation continues its learning journey at Maastricht University, exploring best practices in digital learning, higher education innovation, and effective ODeL implementation.

We appreciate the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union in enabling the ODeL-UG Project which seeks to enhance access to and quality of higher education in Uganda through Open, Distance and e-Learning.

A MUST READ

SOUTH AFRICAN VISAS / TRADE

Thank you guys for sharing my post yesterday, it went to the highest office in South Africa. Got many phone calls!

MODJADJI MAHLANGU returned last evening from South Africa and went to office at 3am today morning to start working on peoples applications.

MODJADJI MAHLANGU last issued a visa on 25th of March 2026 yet Ugandan apply for visas daily. Paying for accommodations, tickets and visa fees that is never refunded.

SHE HAD LOCKED PEOPLES PASSPORTS IN HER OFFICE.

That money is earned by South African businesses hence their economy becomes bigger. The visa money is what keeps these foreign embassies operating here if you don’t know.

BUT THATS NOT A LASTING SOLUTION.

South Africa has more than 78 businesses in Uganda taking away about 1bn dollars annually from our already struggling economy.

The last I read Uganda only earned about usd 48m( DO YOU GUYS GET THE COMMON SENSE?) from South Africa. We earn less than 5% of what they earn from us.

HOW?

Their business people wake up in the morning and decide they are heading to Uganda for business and get a visa from the airport on arrival.

They on the other hand block Ugandan business people from accessing opportunities in South Africa, claiming Ugandan won’t leave their country.

The amount of money earned by the few Ugandans in South Africa can’t be compared to the amount of money South Africa earns from Uganda.

If the one billion dollars taken out of our economy annually stayed in Uganda, those few Ugandans there would have opportunities here.

The alternative is make it easy for our business people to access opportunities in South Africa so we also earn there and bring opportunities back to Uganda.

The 1bn dollars taken or earned here by South Africans strengthens their job market, cripples our job market as Uganda reason a small number want to remain in South Africa.

They simply following the opportunities that have left Uganda for South Africa through the 1bn dollars annually? Are we together?

The internal challenge for common citizens like me and you reading is that ‘ our leaders have green and red passports’ they care less and don’t know the above economics( both opposition and government leaders have those passports).

This week or this month, Uganda borrowed usd 450m from world bank and that will be earned by South African countries and Ugandans will be paying the loans.

The South African owned banks here will keep the money, they telcos will earn bit of it, insurance will also want, South African contractors etc.

Business interests for countries and individuals are fought for, you don’t sit back and think the world wishes you well, you will be silly to think so.

The above thought should apply to all other embassies!

Enough said!

@rkabushenga Very hard to find a man that is not affected in one way or the other. We mask it since society has its expectations of how we should behave and act. It's a shame how this is eating up African men... let our cultures graduate and we normalise these topics
