I had the honour of representing the Republic of Uganda at the High-Level Event commemorating the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, held on 16 March 2026 at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York. During the meeting, I reaffirmed Uganda’s firm commitment to combating all forms of religious intolerance and discrimination. I highlighted the growing concern of Islamophobia globally, which continues to manifest through hate speech, stigmatization, discrimination and acts of violence against Muslim communities, often amplified by misinformation and digital platforms. I called for strengthened international cooperation, including the development of robust legal and policy frameworks to prevent discrimination based on religion or belief, improved mechanisms for reporting and addressing hate crimes, and greater investment in education to promote mutual respect, tolerance and intercultural dialogue. I also underscored Uganda’s long-standing tradition of religious tolerance and cultural diversity. Guided by our Constitution, which guarantees freedom of worship, Uganda continues to promote interfaith dialogue, peaceful coexistence and unity within diversity as a foundation for social cohesion, peace and stability. The meeting brought together leaders and representatives from across the world, all expressing concern over the rise in religious intolerance. We collectively reaffirmed our shared responsibility to uphold human dignity, equality and the right of every individual to freely practice their religion. Uganda remains committed to working with the international community to advance inclusive, peaceful and respectful societies for all.

It is my pleasure to Officiate at the opening of the 4th Joint Agro-Industrialization Programme Annual Review workshop 2025 (#JAPAR2025) under the theme: “Enhanced productivity, value addition and marketing of agricultural commodities for socio economic transformation”. This workshop is an important platform that enables stakeholders to evaluate the performance of Government on her constitutional obligations to the citizens of Uganda. Agro-industrialisation is a quick win and a formidable strategy for Uganda to realize the much needed jobs for the youth and income for the rural population. Agro-Industrialisation has high multiplier effect with much added value to the agricultural outputs which would create jobs and income. The opportunities are high, we have favourable conditions for high production, we have good policies for enabling private investment, we have an enterprising population, we have the current and potential markets for what we produce locally, regionally and internationally and we have experts. The small farmers are the ones that produce most of the quantity of agricultural commodities that feed into the agricultural value chain. Through the Programme, we are implementing programmes and policies to enhance research, extension, access to quality inputs and post-harvest management to ensure that farmers are able to produce quality products for the markets. We have scientists that are doing a commendable job researching and developing a variety of technologies and innovations needed for commercialization of agriculture and for our industrialization. We have individuals and institutions here, that are providing storage and bulking services to the produce from the farmers. Your efforts have led to the reduction in post-harvest losses from over 30% to 16%. We have traders and exporters that are taking advantage of opportunities in the domestic, regional and international markets for our manufactured agricultural products and earning for our country the much needed revenues. We want to appreciate all of you for the collaboration and because of this collaboration, agricultural contribution to GDP has increased from 23.8% in 2020/21 to 26.1% in FY 2024/25. In order to promote adequate agro-industrialization, we must work together and coordinate our policies and strategies better as we implement NDPIV. @GovUganda has established various coordination platforms for this to happen. We only need to make them stronger and effective. Thank you for joining us, as we take stock of our performance in the last 5 years of NDPIII , and making new undertakings in order to enhance the programme performance. #JAPAR2025
