Tracking climate finance must go beyond how much is spent. We must also ask whether the funding reaches the people it is intended to serve and makes a difference in their lives. #COP31 #COP31Türkiye

We are honoured to have Hon. Mary Kuteesa Kamuli, Minister of State for Gender & Culture, as our GOH, at the launch of our study on gender & taxation.
Her presence adds to this important conversation on a fairer tax system that recognises the different realities of women & men.

At FOWODE, we believe that women’s meaningful participation and leadership are essential to advancing equitable climate action.
As feminist movements gather today, we stand for gender responsive climate policies, budgets and plans that recognise women’s needs and priorities.

To ensure that women’s needs & priorities are central in laws & policies, we have continued to strengthen women's agency. This is aimed at enabling them to meaningfully participate in decision-making processes and influence governance spaces where critical decisions are made.

Free at last!!The women's movement is extremely glad that our mentor, sister & friend Miria Matembe was granted bail!! Today was another show of solidarity by the women's movement in #Uganda! #IStandWithMatembe

My sister @miriamatembe I stand with you. Praying for your safety.
A leader with integrity and compassion, you have spoken out against abuse of power, human rights violations and the oppression of women. A scared son of @KagutaMuseveni wants to intimidate and silence you. We will stand with you as you stand up to him.

This is patriarchy's oldest trick of holding women to a collective higher standard that is never applied to men. Ugandans shouldn't be hoodwinked that the fight against corruption is real!
Emerging allegations suggest that former Speaker Among and former Deputy Speaker Tayebwa were both deeply implicated in corruption at Parliament.
This diagram points to a wider network of patronage, nepotism and mutual appointments surrounding Tayebwa. Why then is he not stepping aside, as Among has, to allow an independent investigation into corruption at Parliament?
If reinstated, would he not be in a position to interfere with evidence or influence witnesses?
Is the NRM truly serious about fighting corruption?

Hon @WinnieKiiza tells the public that one rotten apple does not spoil the whole basket. Uganda has many competent female leaders who are capable of delivering transformative leadership. Gender parity is a constitutional right & women deserve equal representation in leadership.

LIVE: Citizens' Coalition addresses the nation on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026.
Their position is clear: This Bill is against the sovereignty of the people of Uganda and must be withdrawn.
Article 1 of the Constitution: _“All power belongs to the people.”_
Sovereignty belongs to citizens. Not the Executive. Not a Ministry. Not a party.
A law that silences citizens and makes public participation dangerous is not a sovereignty law.
Parliament must defend the people and #RejectSovereigntyBill
