At a historic event today,I signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ker Kwaro Acholi, the cultural institution of the Acholi people at the cheifdom headquartered in Gulu City, Northern Uganda headed by HRH Rwot David Onen Achana II, the li.
This is the beginning of a long term partnership between ULS and the cheifdom which establishes a framework for collaboration to bridge the access-to-justice gap & promote the rule of law in Acholi sub- region.

In 2025, SOS village's Hellen Kemigisa wrote to CEO Don Wanyama, opening doors to mentorship etc, a reminder that the pen builds bridges.

In today’s New Vision (p. 22), I reflect on US-Uganda relations, appreciating America’s longstanding support and asking for 'some more.'

#TBT | Earlier this month, the team at FIDA-Uganda had the opportunity to meet with the Commissioner in Charge of Subsidiary Legislation in the Directorate of the First Parliamentary Counsel, under the Office of the Solicitor General, @MoJCAUG. 🏢

The meeting provided a platform ge with the Office of the Solicitor General and gain insight into how we can work with different stakeholders and duty bearers, to make our legislative advocacy interventions more effective in terms of advancing the rights of the communities that we serve, across different thematic areas of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), Access to Justice and Women's Economic Empowerment.

We thank the Office of the Solicitor General for hosting us, and for the effectiveness with which they responded to our inquiries into the enactment of subsidiary legislation, which is key to combating the social drivers of violence against women and children in the Karamoja and West Nile regions. 🤝

Honoured to speak at the 9th National ICT Summit on Wednesday. As a medical doctor working on digital health governance, I'll ask one question: when a digital system fails a patient, who answers for it? Thank you @MICTNamibia for the platform. #ICTSummit2026

A late August recap. Right after handing in my MSc dissertation, I spent 3 days at the @UniofOxford for the Summer Academy for the Social Science of Health Innovation (SASHI). The perfect space to talk global health resilience & health tech. 🧵
