It’s a Match Day at @HamzStadium as we host Onduparaka FC #PrideOfWakiso #WeAreThePurpleSharks

Spent my day making meaningful contributions to the #hotosm-project-44523 🌍 Proud to be part of #MapForClimateUG and the #AfricaMapCup2026, using mapping to drive climate action and community resilience. #OSMUganda #OpenMapping #GIS #ClimateAction

STRATEGIC PAUSE: MAKERERE OPEN 2026 To the Chess Fraternity, In chess, the strongest move requires perfect timing. To ensure we deliver the elite experience, professional standards, and guaranteed prize fund you deserve, I *am officially postponing the Makerere Open Chess Championship* . *While our partners remain committed, a delay in final sponsor confirmations necessitates this tactical timeout.* We refuse to compromise on the quality of this FIDE-rated event. All registration fees remain secure and valid for the new dates, which will be announced shortly. Keep your tactics sharp—we are simply refining the board for a grander stage. Turyahabwe Christopher, Tournament Director

New paper alert! 🛰️🌍 We tackle a key paradox in cropland mapping: conventional surveys are too costly, but "pixel counting" from satellite maps introduces bias. Our solution? A framework linking map accuracy assessment with stratified sampling. 🧵

#Wetlands are vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, regulate water systems, and sustain millions of people who depend on them for food, income and resilience to climate change. With support from @GovUganda, @UNDP and @theGCF, this poster highlights activities and key practices that help safeguard Uganda’s wetlands while supporting community livelihoods. #SDG13

Do not build for how you wish the market worked. Build for how it actually works, then shape it gradually.

@RentifyUG Great to see the adjustments being implemented.

@AMbabani we made some changes to actually accommodate brokers and to be the center of brokers, such that we make sure the process is streamlined for the client even with the brokers in play. you can surely see the results

Reality of business development. On ground things are different. Solutions should be developed to support the core players not to replace them. Based on @RentifyUG experience, how can they turn their experience to money for their business to thrive? Broker = Client #Thoughts

Don't get me wrong, that this is imposible. But pure owner-to-tenant? In Uganda 2026, it struggles big time unless there are societal changes at rentify , we are planning to make some changes, to test out a hybrid model where we use brokers and also landlords. Keep us in your prayers.

Good idea @AllanSseky @kirya_ug . A marketplace where landlords post their own properties directly, like Jiji. Sounds like the dream to cut out the blocker . But let me tell you from our leanings. We had the exact same vision when we started. We thought, " let's empower owners to list themselves and connect straight with tenants." But , reality hit us real first

Women belong on the chessboard too. ♟️ We appeared on TV today to talk about the mission of the Women Chess Association Uganda and the Queens of Chess Rapid Tournament celebrating International Women’s Day. Thank you for giving visibility to women and girls in chess.

👑 And we have our Queen of the Board! ASABA JULIET! Congratulations to our champion of the Queens of Chess Rapid Tournament 2026! ♟️ A well-deserved victory and a proud moment for women’s chess in Uganda. #QueensOfChess #ChessQueens #WomenChess
