Our textile demand is growing faster than local production capacity. This is not just a manufacturing gap; it’s a structural industry gap. The future lies in value addition, local production, skills, and stronger industry collaboration. #TextileIndustry #PAFA

On Monday, I met with models & agents to advance the Models & Agents Guild. There’s clear interest, but also hesitation. That’s the reality of an industry without structure. We’re taking a deliberate approach to build trust & strong leadership. The foundation must be right.

We’ve realized as sector actors in water and sanitation that the conversation has to shift from counting water sources to addressing water quality, maintenance of systems, and the long distances women and girls travel to access water. - Dr. Joyce Mpalanyi Magala, Country Director - @WaterAidUganda #MorningAtNTV

It’s up to the artist producing their music to come out, understand the structures, fully understand music, and recognize the value attached to it. If they don’t understand the business side of intellectual property, they will not earn from it. – @ronniensubuga0, Fashion Entrepreneur #MorningAtNTV

Lack of copyright protection and limited awareness around intellectual property have long held creatives back, but artists and fashion entrepreneurs are now stepping up to claim their place and protect their work. -@ronniensubuga0, Fashion Entrepreneur #MorningAtNTV
