We are proud to support the vital work of @DefendDefenders in promoting, protecting, and strengthening the efforts of human rights defenders in Uganda and the wider subregion. It was great to take stock of the progress and reconnect with friends and partners.

We held our 7th Annual Development Partners' meeting to provide an update on our progress regarding the strategic plan, budget and discuss mechanisms to enhance coordination with our donors and partners. We deeply appreciate our esteemed partners for their continued support…

Truly magnificent race by @joshuacheptege1 tonight with a nail-biting finish! I was literally starstruck when I saw him training with his mates for the #OlympicGamesParis2024 earlier this year in wonderful #Kapchorwa. 🇺🇬🥇

Iceland has supported fistula programmes & campaigns with @UNFPA from 2007. Women and girls at risk of #fistula are also at risk of maternal mortality. Action to end the injury is a matter of life and death! #EndFistula #IDEOF2024 endfistula.org

We continue to be deeply concerned about the wellbeing of LGBT+ people in Uganda following the decision of the Constitutional Court to uphold the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023. We must ensure that everyone enjoys basic human rights free from discrimination.

Happy to participate in today's technical handover of WASH facilities at Namukuma rural growth centre and Muyubwe landing site in #Buikwe. No doubt that the new facilities will contribute to improved sanitation & hygiene, increase quality of life and reduce risk of disease. 🇮🇸🇺🇬
