@cobbo3 Mao was used to distract madam AAA from getting the picture of what was ahead of her. Sounds like a chess game here

This wonderful Ugandan wag tells me, “the world is unfair. Mao Norbert poked the bear [former Speaker Anita Among], but Oboth-Oboth who didn’t even shake the tree, looks likely to eat the cake [become new Speaker]”. I reassured him it’s a story as old as the hills. It’s why the Nigerians say; “Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop”

The Social Entrepreneurship Model is the way to go. Rethinking how to take the work forward.

@SolomonSerwanjj I completely agree with You but we might need a guiding policy. The CSR budgets are a low hanging fruit to leverage on for support of essential services like health and reduce on entertainment. We have to start getting some muscle for health sovereignity.

Sigh* I always questioned the numbers from
that Lancet paper. The tendency to inadvertently exaggerate “deaths from aid cuts” really does not help to make the political case for ODA among skeptics. It further erodes already diminishing trust in “experts”
Rachel Glennerster@rglenner
Finally read the @TheLancet article claiming US foreign assistance cuts will lead to 14mill deaths up to 2030 which has garnered much media attention. Its problematic to say the least, X-country regression with mortality on left and US spending per head on right. 1/ 🧵

President Trump has signed legislation reauthorizing AGOA through December 31, 2026, strengthening U.S.-Africa trade and advancing our national interests. AGOA expands trade with eligible African nations, deepens strategic partnerships, and promotes shared prosperity—a valued privilege for qualifying partners, not an automatic right.

To be a real Human, one needs intelligence, courage, tenacity, curiosity, and a strong sense of justice. Remove any one of the five and you end up with the equivalent of a lemon. Remove the sense of justice and you end up with a monster.

The world energy shock is coming — it will deepen inequality in ways we've seen before. Our new @newstatesman piece argues that without urgent government action, the Strait of Hormuz crisis will ripple through our economies and rip apart our societies. Here's why. 1/

Whether its global north organizations or global south CSOs dependent on donor funds. The music has ended (or is ending). I don't know how else to say this. People will need to pivot, upskill, reskill etc.

As a way of strengthening #AirQuality reporting, we organised and conducted an air quality training for over 50 journalists from different media houses in Kampala.
The training focused on equipping journalists with knowledge in air quality reporting, data access and interpretation, story telling inclined on human impact, solutions and policy implications among others.
Thanks to our partners on this 👏👏👏 @AirQoProject @Lung_Institute @S4PGroupUG @VitalStrat

What we breathe in today shapes the health outcomes of tomorrow. With PM2.5 levels consistently recorded at several times higher than recommended limits, we are facing a silent but serious challenge.

Air quality data doesn’t lie. Year after year, we see rising levels of pollution that far exceed both local and international health standards. These changes may not always be visible, but they are measurable and more importantly, they are affecting real people every single day. #BreatheCleanLiveHealthier #ForALivableCity #PolicyDialogueOnAirQuality
