✍️A great pitch answers 5 questions before your editor asks them:
1️⃣What's the story?
2️⃣Why does it matter?
3️⃣Why NOW?
4️⃣What do you need?
Our very own Antonio Kisembo shared insights with urban journalists on how to pitch public accountability & transparency (PAT) stories.

Play is not a luxury. It is a right.
On this #InternationalDayOfPlay, we celebrate the power of joyful, safe, and meaningful childhood experiences and recommit to building media that nurtures them.
Because when children play, they don't just have fun. They grow.

"Unemployment is a consistent issue in our country. The government boasts of various measures in place, and that itself signals the disconnect."— Opening remarks of our Hub Director, @GabrielIguma.
Today, together with our partners @SensitiseUg, @FarajaAfricaFdn, @Kayese256, and @IMChallengeug under the Programme on Accountability, Civic Engagement and Rights (#PACER), we hosted the Annual National Stakeholders' Breakfast Dialogue under the Youth Inclusion, Governance and Accountability (#YIGAProject).
The dialogue brought together government representatives including @Mglsd_UG , civil society actors, and youth leaders from Karamoja and West Nile.
The theme: : “Youth Unemployment: A Perspective Of Government Wealth Creation Initiatives And Inclusive Governance For Sustainable Development.”
Youth unemployment is not a new problem. The programmes exist, but young people aren't feeling them. That gap between policy and lived reality is exactly what today was designed to address.
This work is made possible with the generous support of the Embassies of @DKinUganda, @SwedeninUG, @NLinUganda, and @IrlEmbUganda.

Government wealth creation programs exist. Youth unemployment persists. Today we stop dancing around that contradiction and start asking why. @Restless_Uganda @FarajaAfricaFdn @IMChallengeug @Moglsd_UG @mondokyateka
