Hon @MagoolaRachel discussing the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights (Amendment) Bill, 2025 hosted by Mukisa Vincent. #Babafmupdates #BABAFM

Yesterday at the CeLPII roundtable, we explored how intellectual property can truly be treated as an economic asset, not just something to protect, but something that can be valued, leveraged, and financed. For those of us working in film, music, and storytelling to influence social behaviour, this is a game-changer. Our work already carries cultural relevance and reaches audiences, but without clear ownership, proper documentation, and predictable revenue, that value doesn’t translate into real opportunities, like accessing loans or growing sustainable creative businesses. What makes these conversations exciting is how they tie into ongoing national efforts. Discussions at Parliament of Uganda and across the creative ecosystem are beginning to align policy, finance, and legal frameworks, creating a space where creatives can finally use their intellectual property as collateral. The pathway is clear when we strengthen ownership structures, track revenue carefully, and leverage digital platforms to make IP bankable. Done right, intellectual property will become more than protection for creatives and morph into capital for creators to grow their impact and their businesses. #AfricaCreativesAlliance #CreativeEconomy #IntellectualProperty

Hon. Rachel Magoola’s keynote called for a shift in Uganda’s creative sector from handouts to empowerment. Despite their impact on culture and society, many creatives aren’t fully benefiting from their IP. #PolicyTalks @MagoolaRachel @SautiPlus @reachahand @Mglsd_UG

Hon. Rachel Magoola delivered an inspiring keynote, calling for a shift in Uganda’s creative sector from handouts to empowerment. She emphasized that while creatives shape culture, heal, and entertain our society, many are still not fully benefiting from their intellectual property. Creatives must formalize their work and embrace business practices to unlock real value. @MagoolaRachel @AfricaCreAlli #CreativeEconomy #IntellectualProperty #PolicyDialogue

We can feel it in the room, people are actively listening, asking questions, and engaging with the ideas being shared. @MagoolaRachel @SautiPlus @reachahand @Mglsd_UG @AfricaCreAlli @MotivUG #CreativeEconomy #IntellectualProperty #CreativeFinance #PolicyDialogue

Hon. Rachel Magola highlights that Parliament has recently passed amendments to the Copyright Act, reinforcing ownership rights and strengthening protection for creatives in Uganda. #CELPII

“Imagine a gifted Ugandan artist whose music is enjoyed by thousands, yet they still struggle financially.” During the Roundtable Policy Dialogue, @MagoolaRachel highlights the urgent need to address gaps that prevent creatives from fully benefiting from their work.

Congratulations to the creative economy

The task now is for related MDAs to impliment the bill. We appreciate MGLSD in partnership with ITC who sponsored training for MPs through the Parliamentary Forum for the Creative Industries with regards to the bill. After the accent from HE the real work begins

The copyright and Neighbouring rights bill.was passed on the 16th of March. It has been a long three or so years since I seconded a private member to propose the amendment. Stakeholders across the domains have contributed greatly.

Every great story deserves the ability to thrive! 🎬 Working together with young filmmakers under the @ikonawards Young Filmmakers Fellowship Program & the Leesu FemPower Initiative, we have seen how creativity lies in stories just aching to be told; however, some of those stories never see the light of day because of hefty production costs. At the Centre for Law, Policy and Innovation Initiative (CeLPII) Round Table Talks, we’ll be discussing how to turn creativity into more than just an art form, but into a bankable asset. Because we believe edutainment has a strong bearing on social change, we will be joining the Round Table Talks to see how young storytellers can monetise their Intellectual Property (IP) to finance their dreams. Join the conversation to discover how these technical and policy reforms are being designed to support the growth and financial independence of storytellers across Uganda. DATE: March 19th TIME: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM EAT #CeLPIIRoundTableTalks

Copyright Bill Conversations: Ahead of tomorrow’s second reading of the Copyright Amendment Bill, join Joel Isabirye, Senior Media Consultant and radio industry veteran, and Hon. Rachael Magola, artist and MP, as they break down the proposed law and what the creative industry stands to gain or lose. Today at 5PM #NBSAfter5

and thoughtful dialogue. 🔗 Join via Teams: shorturl.at/zPASi @MagoolaRachel @SautiPlus @reachahand @Mglsd_UG #AfricaCreativesAlliance #PolicyTalks #CreativeEconomy #IntellectualProperty #CreativeFinance #AfricaCreativeEconomy

As a storyteller, I’ve seen first-hand how many brilliant ideas never make it to the screen simply because of a lack of capital. It is time we change that narrative in Uganda and Africa as a whole. At the Policy Roundtable Talks organised by the Centre for Law, Policy and Innovation Initiative (CeLPII) & the Africa Creatives Alliance (@AfricaCreAlli), all roads will lead to @MotivUG this Thursday 19th March, for discussions on why increasing access to credit services like loans will lead to game-changing results in fuelling the production abilities of many creatives across Uganda. The talks will position us to do more than just talk about the limitations brought about by the short funding pools and pivot us to increase the creation of a financial environment where our filmmakers can scale their work and compete globally. We’ll be speaking on how we can bridge the gap between financial institutions & the creative sector to ensure our stories get the investment they deserve. #CeLPIIRoundTableTalks
