Earlier this week, we embarked on a trek up the historic Wanale Ridge in Mbale. While our hearts belong to the Source of the Nile, expanding our journey into the Bugisu region gave us a profound appreciation for how unique and interconnected and diverse Uganda's natural beauty is. #AllThingsJinja | #ExloreUganda

We’ve taken the brand to Kololo because moments of national significance deserve strong national visibility. As H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni prepares to take the oath of office, we are proud to be part of a new wave of positioning Uganda through modern, intentional, and experience-driven marketing. Every major platform is an opportunity to tell Uganda’s story to the world with confidence, professionalism, and a renewed global outlook. #ExploreUganda #Poate2026

We're missing out on medical tourism revenue due to our poor health infrastructure and previous lack of a health education policy. WHAT IS MEDICAL TOURISM? #HealthEducationug

This year marks a powerful milestone as we celebrate 10 years of POATE, a journey we have witnessed grow, evolve, and strengthen from its very first edition. Over the past decade, POATE has not only created a platform for engagement, but has consistently positioned Uganda as a premier tourism destination to the world. It has been a journey of progress, innovation, and meaningful connections across the tourism value chain. We celebrate the achievements made, the partnerships built, and equally the lessons learned along the way, each playing a role in shaping a more competitive and visible destination. Ten years on, the story is clear: Uganda continues to rise, and POATE remains a key driver in telling that story to the global audience. #ExploreUganda #Poate2026

Real growth often comes from unexpected moments and opportunities you didn’t plan for”. Rowena Turinawe #CIOConclave2026 #CIOConclaveTechWorkshop

I’ve spent the last 8 months in the cocoa export space, facilitating and watching tonnes of beans leave our country and for about 6 months , it felt like progress. Containers moving, deals closing, numbers growing. But the more you sit in that space, the more one question refuses to leave your mind where is the real value going? Because it’s not staying with us. We do the hard part. We grow the cocoa, we harvest, we ferment, we dry… and then we export it. Somewhere else, that same cocoa becomes chocolate bars, cocoa powder, cosmetics, brands products that sell for many times what we earned from the raw beans. That gap is where the real opportunity is and it’s the gap we’ve normalized for too long. When you look at the coffee sector, you start to see a different story emerging. People like @JackieAkampwera of @JadaCoffee and brands like @volcanocoffee1 Coffee led by @GKatabazi , @harvestrumEdge Coffee and @KBarigye made a decision not to stop at the farm gate. They went further into roasting, branding, packaging and building experiences people are willing to pay for. That shift is changing everything in the coffee sector . It created jobs, built identity and most importantly retained value. And I keep asking myself why not cocoa? This is where I am now. After working in exports, I’m turning part of my time and capital to domestic cocoa value addition. Not as an idea but as something practical we can start building immediately. It won’t be perfect. It won’t be big at the start. But it will be ours. I’m looking for young people who are ready to step into this space food scientists who understand processing, creatives who can shape products and anyone willing to invest time, skill or resources into building something meaningful. The plan is : I start by providing about 5tns of cocoa to the team for trial purposes , we learn by doing, we refine the process and we grow from there. Because this is bigger than just a business idea. It’s about shifting how we think. We cannot keep exporting raw potential and importing finished success. We’ve seen what is possible with coffee. Now it’s time to do the same or even better with cocoa. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to build something real this might be it. Let’s create value where it starts. For God and my country

Nwoya District — This morning, I joined @Uganetlaw and partners in Nwoya District to commemorate World TB Day, a reminder that the fight against TB remains critical to achieving health justice for all. Tuberculosis continues to be the leading cause of death among people living with HIV, accounting for about one in four HIV-related deaths globally. Ending TB is therefore not optional, it is central to the goal of ending HIV by 2030. As we mark this day, we reaffirm the need for integrated HIV and TB services, increased community awareness, early testing, and timely treatment. No one should die from a preventable and curable disease. Together, we can end TB and move closer to an HIV-free generation. #EndTB #UGANET4SocialJustice

History is Made: The Rhinos arrived safely in Kidepo Valley National Park. #RhinoConservation #RhinoTranslocation #ConservingForGenerations #ExploreUganda

The conclusion is clear: Pastoralist women are central to production, survival, and community resilience, yet systematically excluded from rights, resources, and representation. #APWG2026 #PastoralWomenRising #IYRP2026

The Rhinos are back to Kidepo National Park Good job @ugwildlife

True heartbeat of pastoralist societies lies in the often unrecognized labor of women livestock keepers, land stewards, and custodians of ecological and indigenous knowledge. Yet their contributions have remained absent from global policy agendas. #APWG2026 #PastoralWomenRising
