Mentorship accelerates growth. Learning directly from leaders like Hon. @Jacobeyeru, who have walked this path before us,compressed years of potential trial & error into a few focused days of guided reflection is worth investment.
Many thanks to @NimdUganda Kudos @PrimusBahiigi

[NIMD Uganda @NimdUganda]

The session focused on how youth leaders can shift from campaigning to effective governance, prioritise public service over personal wealth, and deliver practical solutions to community needs. We are optimistic about the role that these youth leaders will play in the growth of our nation.

Winning an election is often treated as the finishing line. In reality,it's the first chapter of a much longer story.We were reminded that our offices are held in trust for the voters, not a stepping stone to be used purely for individual gains.

As part of our #WYDE programming, yesterday we engaged young leaders from the national youth council and other district levels on their experience as new leaders. At #NIMD Uganda, we believe in supporting young leaders in building a brighter, stronger democracy for all.

This conversation opens a difficult discussion on leadership, power, money, and the quiet threats that can weaken a nation.

We are raising global children… but are we grounding them?
Family is where culture is passed, where discipline is learned, and where identity is formed. Without it, education alone is not enough.
Bring children closer. Let them see your work. Let them understand your journey.
That is how values are built.

I opened the Joint Annual National Stakeholders' Breakfast Dialogue on Youth Unemployment and Inclusive Governance.
Behind unemployment statistics are real young people waiting for opportunities. The challenge is not simply to discuss the issue but to identify practical solutions and partnerships that create jobs & lasting change.

@lynderlinda challenges participants at the SDGs workshop to identify pressing issues within their communities and explore practical solutions using the resources already around them.

With the SDGs offering numerous targets and indicators, the question is: which one can you take ownership of and begin working on as a young person?

Our Secretary @Turya_osborn is attending the Multiparty Youth Platform (MYF) Retreat in Jinja City, where youth leaders from various political parties and youth-focused institutions have convened to review and validate the Forum's key working documents for 2026–2031.

The retreat provides an important opportunity to strengthen collaboration, promote inclusive youth participation, and shape a shared agenda that advances democracy, good governance, and youth development in Uganda.

“There is no one-size-fits-all leadership style.” Effective leaders know when to listen, collaborate, take action and adapt depending on the situation and the needs of their team. - Ms. Jenninah Kabiswa at @worldrenew speaking about adaptive leadership at ToT on Youth Leadership, Civic Engagement & Volunteerism with support from @UNDPUganda

[UNA UGANDA @UNAUGANDA]

Young people, you are privileged to access opportunities, so take your leadership positions seriously. If we can inspire you to open doors for others, then we would have succeeded.

Always approach advocacy with opportunity-oriented lenses, and maintain the appetite and hunger for self-improvement. Secretary-General @BagumaRT urges participants to keep challenging themselves.

One key lesson from the Training of Trainers is that people are drawn to impact and visible progress. Opportunities often come through the networks we build and the stories we carry from the work we do.

Florence Ochola, Program Analyst, Governance, Peace and Security Unit at UNDP Uganda (@UNDPUganda), notes, people identify you with success and the value you create in your community.

Opening up day 2, the secretary-general informs that development is about incremental projects.

The engagement is based on project planning, SMART Goals & Sustainability. While we’re providing a thread, a string and a cup of disposable cups to construct pyramid & towers.
Programs Manager @lynderlinda leads the exercise.

[UNA UGANDA @UNAUGANDA]

With just a thread, a marker, and a flip chart, teams worked together to draw the map of Uganda at the same time.

The task was simple, use the limited resources available with one shared purpose: showing the spirit of volunteerism and community transformation through role play.

[UNA UGANDA @UNAUGANDA]

Today’s session raised an important conversation: what really makes someone an active citizen?

Is it speaking up, showing up, holding leaders accountable, or taking responsibility within our own communities? And as individuals, what do we need to play that role effectively?

[UNA UGANDA @UNAUGANDA]

There’s no meaningful community engagement without active citizens.

Today, the Secretary-General has engaged the Training of Trainers participants on civic engagement and active citizenship, emphasizing that communities respond better when planning is intentional, adaptive, and mindful of their different needs.
