Happening Today: Deliberations continue today at the 11th Ordinary Session of the Pan African Postal Union (PAPU) Plenipotentiary Conference, with Member States engaging in candid & constructive exchanges on the future of Africa’s postal sector. Delegates are sharing experiences; what is working, where the gaps remain, and how their unique realities are shaping reforms in their home countries. From digital systems & e-commerce logistics to regulatory adjustments and cross-border delivery systems, delegates are presenting practical lessons drawn from their own markets while identifying common challenges and universal priorities that can guide collective action. While each country operates within different economic and geographic contexts, there is a growing consensus on the need for harmonised standards, modern infrastructure, and technology-enabled postal networks to support sustainable intra-African trade. #PAPU2026Kampala #PAPUPlenipot26 @_AfricanUnion @UPU_UN @GovUganda @MoICT_Ug @azawedde @UCC_ED @MarjanOsvald @IBbossa

Today, at the 11th Ordinary Session of @papuafrica, Uganda decided to not just participate in a continental conversation but step forward with a solution. In a room where Africa is collectively rethinking the future of its postal sector, moving from traditional mail systems to digitally enabled logistics and e-commerce ecosystems, Uganda is presenting a practical, working model of that future; POSTCOM . Across Africa, postal systems are undergoing one of the most significant transformations in their history. Once defined by letters and parcels, today’s postal networks are being repositioned as, engines of e-commerce, gateways to global trade and Infrastructure for financial inclusion and logistics innovation The 11th Ordinary Session of #PAPUPlenipot26 is anchored on this transition; how Africa can leverage its extensive postal networks, often the most widespread physical infrastructure in many countries, to unlock intra-African trade and global competitiveness. Uganda is a country of producers, from coffee farmers to artisans in Kampala, to SMEs across districts, Uganda has products, creativity, and entrepreneurial energy. What has historically been missing is structured access to markets. For years, the gap has not been production, but market visibility, logistics coordination, export readiness and trusted systems for payments and delivery. @Posta_Ugand has quietly built one of the most extensive national networks, Over 100 branches across the country, coverage connected to over 192 countries globally, Integration into international postal and logistics systems POSTCOM is Uganda’s answer to the gap. It is an e-commerce platform a national trade enabler, built on top of an existing logistics backbone. POSTCOM will enable citizens and businesses to create online shops, digitally showcase Ugandan products to international buyers,integrate logistics, payments, and delivery systems into one platform and connect customers, delivery agents, and postal hubs for seamless last-mile connectivity. This will collapse traditional barriers between production, market access, and delivery, bringing them into a single, coordinated ecosystem. At a time when @papuafrica is pushing for modernization, POSTCOM offers a replicable model; it is such a platform. And today, Uganda is telling more than that story, but it is living it too. #PAPU2026Kampala #GoldenPosts @UCC_Official @GovUganda @MoICT_Ug @StateHouseUg @GCICUganda

It was a distinct honour to speak at the 11th Ordinary Session of the Pan African Postal Union (PAPU) Plenipotentiary Conference at the Lake Victoria Serena Hotel. Joined by the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister and the Hon. Minister of ICT & National Guidance, I addressed a critical turning point for our continent. Although many once predicted the decline of postal services due to the shift away from traditional letter-writing, we are now witnessing a compelling counter-narrative. The surge in global e-commerce has transformed the postal network into a crucial infrastructure for logistics and last-mile delivery across Africa. As we gather in the "Pearl of Africa," our focus is shifting towards how digital innovation, smart delivery technologies, and data-driven logistics can transform post offices into vibrant hubs of socio-economic change. At @UCC_Official, in close collaboration with Posta Uganda, we are already implementing a roadmap for this development. We are no longer just transporting envelopes; we are moving value, enabling trade, and promoting digital inclusion for all Ugandans by repositioning the postal operator as a key driver of our digital future. Our strategy is built on four essential pillars: the full digitisation of postal services, the rollout of robust National Addressing Systems, the modernisation of regulatory frameworks to invite healthy competition, and the seamless integration of postal networks with digital financial services. These initiatives ensure that our infrastructure remains resilient and relevant in a fast-paced global market. By modernising these core areas, we lay the groundwork for a postal ecosystem that can support the burgeoning demands of the modern consumer and business owner alike. However, the true potential of this sector can only be realised through continental harmony, as transformation cannot happen in isolation. To compete on a global stage, Africa must standardise its addressing systems, synchronise customs procedures, and adopt interoperable digital tracking platforms. Through the leadership of PAPU and the Universal Postal Union (UPU), we are working to ensure that a package sent from Kampala reaches Dakar or Cairo with the same efficiency and transparency expected from any global tech giant. As deliberations continue this week, I am confident that the resolutions passed in Kampala will serve as a blueprint for a modern, technology-driven postal ecosystem. We are repositioning the African postal operator not merely as a carrier of physical mail, but as a cornerstone of the African Continental Free Trade Area. Together, we are building a connected continent where the postal network serves as a vital engine for economic integration and shared prosperity. #PAPU2026Kampala #PAPUPlenipot26
