I believe that Uganda is already home to the critical mass needed to drive double-digit growth in our tourism sector. Given our population, we have the power to spark lasting change from within. Through initiatives like Open Park Days, we are inviting every citizen to explore our national parks (free of entrance fees) so that you can experience firsthand the beauty, wonder, and cultural richness of our land. #ExploreUganda #UniquelyOurs Read more from my article in the @newvisionwire below;

@SKurayish Congratulations @SKurayish. This is well-earned!

Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation. There is #NoExcuse for gender-based violence. Not now. Not ever. We must UNITE to end violence against women. #16DaysOfActivism @UNEthiopia

This #HumanRightsDay, we face a harsh truth: Human rights are under assault. Whether economic, social, civic, cultural or political, when one right is undermined, all rights are undermined. Let’s protect, defend and uphold all human rights for all people.

📢 Call for Expression of Interest The @IloProspects in Ethiopia🇪🇹 is seeking a skilled consultant to design a tracer study that will assess the program's impact on its beneficiaries. Apply: bit.ly/4eLW27H

🟧On Int'l Day to Eliminate #ViolenceAgainstWomen, we must shatter silence. 💔 Sexual #harassment isn't just a stat. It's a human rights violation destroying lives in the #World of #Work ! 🧡 Collective action now: @ilo's call for change ! #NoExcuse #RatifyC190 #16Days 💪👇

We are proud to support the Prospects partnership that strengthens the resilience and self-reliance of refugees and host communities in Ethiopia. @lapirenne
