🏛️ Happening Now in Bushenyi District! SEATINI Uganda, with support from the Embassy of Ireland under the STRIDE Project, is convening district and municipal leaders, civil society organizations, oversight institutions, and other stakeholders for the orientation, launch, and commissioning of the Bushenyi District Integrity Committee. The engagement comes at a time when local governments face challenges related to weak oversight, limited accountability, and inadequate coordination of integrity and anti-corruption efforts. Discussions are focusing on strengthening transparency, ethical governance, citizen participation, and accountability in the management of public resources. The initiative also seeks to enhance understanding of the link between local revenue mobilization, allocation, utilization, and accountability as a pathway to improved service delivery, value for money, and increased public trust. #STRIDEProjectUG #TaxJuetice @herbertk4 @SeatiniU @URAuganda @IrlEmbUganda @mtic_uganda @mofpedU @OxfaminUganda @CSBAGUGANDA @lgfcweb @Parliament_Ug @taxalliance_ug @Youth_TJN @GovUganda

CSE’s @aygoswami spoke at the side event ‘Climate and Trade Cooperation for Climate-resilient Development’ during the Bonn Climate Conference (SB64). In her intervention, she underscored five principles that should guide the upcoming Trade-Climate Dialogue at the conference. These are listed in CSE’s new brief ‘An Equitable Trade-Climate Agenda’ available here: cseindia.org/an-equitable-tr…. 1. Development as a central objective: Trade–climate cooperation must explicitly recognise industrialisation, value addition, and structural transformation in developing countries as legitimate and necessary climate pathways. 2. Operationalising differentiation: Principles such as common but differentiated responsibilities and special and differential treatment must be translated into concrete design features of trade–climate instruments. 3. Preserving and/or enlarging policy space: Countries must retain the ability to deploy green industrial policy tools—subsidies, public procurement, localisation measures, and strategic regulation—to build domestic clean technology capacity. 4.  Green technology as a global public good: Rapid and affordable diffusion of climate-critical technologies requires greater flexibility in intellectual property regimes and proactive international cooperation. 5.  Multilateralism over unilateralism: Cooperative, transparent, and inclusive approaches must be prioritised over unilateral trade measures that risk fragmenting markets and deepening inequities. The event was jointly organized by the @IDOS_research @SeatiniU and @TESSForum.

🌍 Yesterday at the #JuneClimateMeetings2026 in Bonn, Germany, SEATINI, in partnership with TESS and IDOS, co-hosted the official side event, "Climate and Trade Cooperation for Climate-Resilient Development." Representing SEATINI, Deputy Executive Director Herbert Kafeero joined global experts to discuss how the COP30 Mutirão Decision can strengthen trade-climate cooperation, support green industrialization, expand technology access, and build resilient, sustainable economies. As trade and climate agendas become increasingly interconnected, meaningful participation of developing countries remains essential for delivering equitable climate action and sustainable development. @TESSForum @IDOS_research @herbertk4 @SeatiniU @mtic_uganda @UNFCCC @COP20CMP10 @Cop30noBrasil @wto @IISD_news @giz_gmbh @CSEINDIA @e3g @FAOclimate @UNDPUganda @nemaug

CSE’s @aygoswami is speaking today at a @UNFCCC SB64 side event on 'Climate and Trade Cooperation for Climate-resilient Development' at 7:30 PM IST (4:00 PM Bonn time). The 2026 Bonn Climate Meetings will host the first Mutirão Dialogue on climate change and trade. Ahead of the Dialogue, the side-event will explore how international cooperation can help align trade, climate, and development objectives, particularly for developing countries. The event is jointly organized by the @IDOS_research, @SEATINIUGANDA and @TESSForum. To contribute to these discussions, @CSEINDIA in partnership with @AFPHAfrica, has published a brief: An Equitable Trade-Climate Agenda: Priorities for Developing Countries. The brief identifies key gaps in the current trade-climate architecture and outlines priorities for a more equitable and development-centred trade-climate agenda.
