As unreliable rainfall leaves Ugandan smallholder farmers counting losses, the government is preparing to ramp-up solar-powered irrigation infrastructure around the country.. But, public policy thinktank @ACODE_Uganda, says affordability, access to water, and thoughtful delivery of this public programme, will ultimately determine whether this technology reaches those who most need it.

In this report 👇👇 you can get to read the findings of the 2025 Uganda Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (UPHIA 2025) survey. The report details why Uganda's HIV progress is running into a stubborn diagnosis gap. @MinofHealthUG @MakSPH @aidscommission @USEmbassyUganda @StatisticsUg @UVRIug @WHOUganda

#Africa is currently generating more electricity and yet hundreds of millions of households across the continent remain in the dark..A recently published report by @afrobarometer shows why, even after 70 years of generating electricity for countries like Uganda, getting it reliably and cheaply into people's homes, businesses and communities, remains such a big hurdle.

For close to 50 days (starting August 8, 2026), #OlaraOtunnu, Uganda's candidate for the UN Secretary General job has been moving from one capital city to another campaigning, crossing continents in an extraordinary sprint that, based on the itinerary available so far, has already covered more than 30,000km. That's quite some tall order for any normal human being, let alone a 76-year-old man; and yet, Otunnu has taken on the task with remarkable aplomb.

This year's Uganda leg of the continental #WildlifeRangerChallenge carried a certain poignancy, particularly for the competing teams of #KidepoValleyNationalPark, owing to the killing of their ranger colleague by armed poachers, a week before the annual competition. Yet, this setback didn't prevent both their men's and women's teams from winning the gruelling Challenge for a 4th consecutive time (the men's team).

In an audacious effort to widen #Uganda's tax base, the Govt recently gave @URAuganda the greenlight to use the National Identification Number (NIN), instead of the Tax Identification Number (TIN) as a "tax identifier" for individual taxpayers. But, what will it take for the NIN to bring in more tax revenue into Uganda's treasury over the coming months? @mofpedU @NIRA_Ug @URSBHQ @taxalliance_ug @SEATINIUGANDA @ACODE_Uganda @EPRC_official @kacita_uganda @OxfaminUganda

For years, Uganda's decision to give gold special treatment in its tax regime has been defended as an investment incentive. But, at a recent mining revenue forum held in Kampala, an uncomfortable question was posed: If Uganda now has functioning gold refineries, what's the Govt still giving up by keeping the incentive? @OxfaminUganda @SEATINIUGANDA @UgandaEITI @4_dgsm @MEMD_Uganda @ACODE_Uganda @CSBAGUGANDA @taxalliance_ug

After close to 20 years of waiting, #Uganda has finally christened its Crude Oil with the name #PearlSweet. The brand marks yet another step towards the country's long awaited entry into the ranks of oil-producing countries.

Here is how the #OromCross graphite project in the northern Uganda district of Kitgum is increasingly being positioned by its British, developer, @BlencoweRes, as a potential source of higher value graphite products needed in the current global energy transition agenda. @MEMD_Uganda @KitgumDistrict @4_dgsm @UgandaChamber

On Aug.27, the same day Uganda was declared free from Ebola by the #WorldHealthOrganisation, the U.S Govt donated an assortment of MBP134 antibody treatment for Ebola to Uganda to help the country strengthen its preparedness against another possible cross-border spread of the disease from the #DRC. @MinofHealthUG @USEmbassyUganda

Despite the #GovtofUganda unilaterally declaring the country free from #Ebola towards the end of July, @WHO FINALLY declared Uganda free from the #Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus on August 27, following the end of the 42-day countdown (from the day the last Ebola patient was discharged from Uganda's Ebola Treatment Facility in Kampala). @WHOAFRO @WHOUganda @AfricaCDC @MinofHealthUG @AfDB_Group

Within the corridors of the @WorldBankGroup in Washington D.C., Uganda is yet to graduate into a "Lower Middle-Income" country..In Kampala, President Museveni, and his technocrats at @mofpedU, #UBOS and #NationalPlanningAuthority insist #Uganda crossed the threshold a couple of years back. Yet, when the #WorldBank published its latest classification of countries in July, this year, Uganda remained below the coveted threshold. The question is why? @StatisticsUg @NPA_UG

#Africa has set itself an ambitious deadline of eliminating #Cholera by 2030, and a new investment into a South African pharmaceutical firm, #Biovac, was recently okayed by @AfDB_Group to support the production of the continent's first end-to-end cholera vaccine. @WHOAFRO @_AfricanUnion @AfricaCDC @UNICEF @biovac_inst

On July 22, @UVRIug celebrated its 90th anniversary. And, as it looks forward to its centenary, its scientists, regional and global partners say its next challenge must not only revolve around detecting diseases but also boldly venture into developing vaccines, diagnostics and treatments needed to defeat emerging and re-emerging pathogens.

#Uganda has spent the last 20 years strengthening agric research, building seed systems and investing in institutions that support the country's farmers. Yet, as scientists, policymakers, agribusiness leaders, and development partners gathered in Kampala on July 10 to celebrate @AGRA_Africa's 20th anniversary, one key question dominated the conversation: How can Uganda turn agric innovation into lasting prosperity for millions of smallholder farmers? @MAAIF_Uganda @narouganda @OWC_ug @tgcuganda @FRAUGANDA @afaasinfo @ufaas13 @unffe
