A strong start lasts a lifetime.
It was an honour to witness the launch of Uganda’s Early Childhood Care and Education Policy.
@UNICEFUganda will continue to support efforts that expand access to quality early learning and care, especially for the most vulnerable children.

Vaccines remain one of the most powerful tools we have to protect children’s lives. #NoChild should suffer from diseases we know how to prevent.
We have the vaccines. We know they work.
Parents & caregivers: check your child’s immunization status & visit the nearest outreach.

@GovUganda, led by @MinofHealthUG, today launches a nutrition advocacy campaign under the theme “#Nutrition4All”, a national effort to improve child nutrition.
@UNICEFUganda is proud to support this initiative—because every child has the right to a healthy start in life.
UNICEF Uganda@UNICEFUganda
With over two million children under five chronically malnourished in Uganda 🇺🇬 (UDHS 2022), the need for sustained action has never been greater. Every child deserves the chance to grow and thrive. #Nutrition4All #BestStartInLife #InvestInUGchildren #ZeroHunger

Teenage pregnancy continues to disrupt girls’ education in Uganda.
We must do more to ensure every girl can stay in school, return after childbirth, and reach her full potential.
Every girl deserves that chance.

Deeply saddened by the tragic attacks on children in Kampala and Apac District. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their children & those whose children are recovering.
Schools must be safe spaces. We must act now to protect every child.

From #WorldWaterDay to #UWEWK26, momentum is building for climate-resilient #WASH. The launch of the first-ever WASH National Adaptation Plan(#WASHNAP) 🌍 marks a major step toward safe water, sanitation & hygiene for every child—despite climate challenges.

@sanwatforall Let us remember that in 2024-25 the M-pox and Ebola outbreaks disproportionally impacted those in urban slums in Kampala.
This trend will continue and the impact can be mitigated by a focus on the poorest and most marginalized.
English
@sanwatforall I called for prioritizing WASH services for the most deprived, urging government and partners to rally around pro-poor policies in both urban and rural areas.
