Interventions to boost Fd and Anim Feed security

Yesterday, I visited @OCP_Africa, Based in Casablanca, the company operates mining sites, manufacturing plants, and a major fertilizer export hub in Jorf Lasfar. This is the biggest phosphates company in Morocco, and the world's largest producer of phosphate rock and fertilizer. OCP controls roughly 70% of the world's phosphate reserves, with key operations in mining, phosphoric acid production, and fertilizer manufacturing.  In our quest to boost fertilizer use in Uganda, this visit was timely and crucial as i convinced them to expand their footprints to Uganda.

As the @FAO–🇨🇳–🇺🇬 #SouthSouthCooperation project concludes, we honor the 9⃣ Chinese experts who, for 4⃣ years, worked side by side with Ugandan farmers. Through #knowledgesharing & skill-building, their legacy lives on in every transformed field & livelihoods impacted. Xièxiè!

Interesting legal gymnastics. While my application for vote counting cuoldn't proceed in the Chief Magistrates Court in Tororo because two boxes had broken seals, in Masaka it was the reverse! A 35 vote difference between us could not even yield the mandatory recount by EC!I

The improved road network has significantly enhanced regional connectivity. As development advances, conservation of Kabalega Falls & the protection of sensitive habitats remain central, underscoring that sustainable progress must go hand in hand with environmental stewardship. #OpenGovUg #ExploreUganda
