Am not sure I understand this #activism vs who takes the credit phenomenon. Has it always been like this? It’s really strange hearing younger activists fight and question other actors in civil society space based on… “they stole the idea” … “they hijacked this” etc etc. When did activism become so transactional? Who cares who takes credit for what? I think part of the challenge the drive to put an “entrepreneurial model” to everything — an exhibition against corruption in parliament becomes a project, a garbage exhibition becomes an idea perceived as an incubator project! If the ideas are transactional- then the fights too take on a pecuniary nature. Who received what money and surely they benefited as individuals! Otherwise why did they start this in the first place? There’s the expectation that there’s a “return of investment” —- and talk about “tangible results” You are doing complex systems change work and after a couple of weeks of making noise you expect “tangible results” - are you out of your mind?? 🤦‍♂️ How long do you think it’s taken to entrench corruption (as a norm and in practice) that we see across government systems? Again— it’s that idea ==> incubation ==> test/transition ==> scale up mindset applied on social phenomena! An opportunity to learn all around for those that really want to make change possible — there is no shortcut to these things. Buckle up, and have the humility to understand that you will not always know or find answers to complex social problems. You do your part — chip away, and let others do what they can. Collective solutions to collective challenges.

This evening I had the pleasure of walking with @gnuwagira We spoke about leadership, succession and transition, holding and sharing power, the vulnerability of a leader and letting go. We spoke about how to harness resources for giving, starting from the family. I shared with him an idea about doing resource mapping at a family level. Imagine if each family plotted the tangible and intangible resources they have - past and present and trying to quantify these. I think it’s a way to enrich our family tree while also plotting how generosity is done and/or can be improved. I believe we would be blown away by how much we have, how much we’ve given and how much we have to contribute to advance our communities.

First met @TheMutaD in 2006. He was @Ntare_School ‘s Head Prefect when I joined in S.1. He was the model student & leader - Smart, confident, & articulate. That year, he was one of the school’s top students at A Level. No surprises he’s where he is. Congratulations Ssebo.
