A report by @thatboydaudi case study @KlaEastRotary
Data isnโt just about numbers. When used well, it becomes a compass for strategy, growth, and transformation.
Recently, I had the opportunity to work with the Rotary Club Of Kampala East on their membership engagement journey. The question we explored was simple: ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ต๐ข ๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ถ๐ด, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ช๐ต ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด?
What stood out is how much data can reveal when you take the time to listen. Even in a people-driven organization like Rotary, the numbers told stories that leaders might otherwise overlook:
ย โข Different groups engage differently, so one-size-fits-all strategies fall short.
ย โข Membership tenure influences participation, highlighting the need to make both new and long-serving members feel valued.
ย โข Some individuals are ready to lead while others need encouragement, insight that strengthens succession planning.
ย โข Certain activities spark energy, while others risk disengagement.
These arenโt just numbers; theyโre signals that shape ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐, ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐. For club leadership, the next steps were clear: Design inclusive activities across demographics, build stronger onboarding journeys for new members, and set up feedback loops to track progress and keep improving.
The bigger lesson, however, is that ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ปโ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ; ๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐. It helps organizations, whether clubs, community groups, or businesses, shift from guesswork to clarity, from activity to impact.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the leadership of the Rotary Club of Kampala East, especially the President, @BagambaRodney , the distinguished Rotarians of the club, visiting Rotarians from other clubs, Rotaractors, and guests, for their active participation in the membership survey.
Your engagement made this exercise both meaningful and impactful.

1. EFRIS simusolo wabula system (enkola) eyambako URA okweetegeleza omusolo ogwa Value Added Tax oba muyite VAT.
2. VAT asasulwa ggwe nange ne bakasitoma abalala abagula ku muzeeyi wo emaali. Kyova olaba nti bwetugula, Muzeeyi wo atujjako eza VAT ela zibaako bulunji wali ku e-Receipt oba alisiita.
3. Muzeeyi wo alabika ye ali kwalaali naye abasuubuzi abamu olumala okujjako VAT kubaguzi ate mukifo kyokumwanjulayo mu URA, amuyisaawo buyisa. Olwonno VAT wabendi naabulira mu magoba.
4. EFRIS sisitiimu yaleetebbwa okukakasa nti VAT ono taddamu kubulila mu magoba.
5. Withholding tax ate no ye naasasulwa abo abatuusizaako Muzeeyi wo ebyaamaguzi oba obuweereza (ba supplier ba Daddy). Ela newano katukitwaale nti Daddy ali kwalaali era nga withholding tax oyo olumala okumujja ku ssente zaasasula ba supplier amwanjula eli URA. Bwaaba nga bali abalala abamwawula nebatamwanjula kiba kikakata URA okuyingilawo ebanje withholding tax oyo.
6. Omusolo ogwenkalakalira Muzeeyi gwaasasula era nga guva mu businesses ye direct gwe gwa income tax. Nga guno okugutuukako Muzeeyi ayawula ssente zaasasanyiza ngatambuza business (costs) ku ssente eziyingidde mu business (sales). Omusolo gwa income tax gujjibwa ku magoba ela wegatali Omuntu Aba tasuubilwa kusasula musolo. Wabula Muzeeyi asigala alina obuvunaanizibwa bwookutegeeza URA embeera ya business bwetambudde mu mwaaka nga akola ennyanjula.
Wuliliza Akaama Kano - Omuntu atalya VAT wabendi tatya EFRIS.

Call me a veteran. That computer was running the first such software in Uganda- Audio Vault. Seen the Denon CD player? The mixer a US made Airtrack 90. The poster was announcing a Buju Banton concert. Iโd say circa 1997. Radio Sanyu just rebranded to Sanyu FM. Naguru, Kampala.
I've been MC at hundreds of weddings over the last few decades but I've never had as much fun as I did co-hosting one with @kimera516 a few days ago.
We had so much fun that at some point I believe the guests mistook us for doing a stand up set and gave us a round of applause!
I am v sorry to hear of the passing of Joyce Mpanga. She was one of Uganda's founders, a shaper of public life and a consistent voice for dignity & justice.
Here she is (at center) in 1964, greeting a visitor at @gayazahigh, her old school. Left: Miria Obote.
