📍 ARUA CITY | TWO DAYS OF STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT 🇺🇬🇪🇺. I had the honor of receiving the European Union Delegation and Heads of Cooperation from Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, France, and Austria for a Two Days engagement in Arua City. In the West Nile region, where communities navigate the realities of refugee-hosting, climate pressures, and the push for inclusive growth, strategic international partnerships are essential. Our discussions focused on four core pillars: 🎯 Youth Skilling & Enterprise: Connecting practical skills directly to private-sector opportunities and decent work. 🛡️ Child Protection: Strengthening systems to combat abuse, exploitation, and child labor while keeping children in school. 🌱 Green Growth & Climate Resilience: Promoting climate-smart agriculture and green skills for sustainable livelihoods. ⚖️ Gender Inclusion: Centering girls' education and women’s economic empowerment in decision-making. These are not just development priorities, they are investments in the dignity, opportunity, and resilience of our people. Deeply grateful to the @European Union Delegation to Uganda and Team Europe for turning partnership into tangible impact on the ground for our youth, children, women, refugees, and host communities. 🇺🇬🇪🇺 @OPMUganda @Mglsd_UG @Parliament_Ug

@HonKyeyune the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (Regional Cooperation), Noted: “For 50 years, the Uganda-European Union partnership has been part of Uganda’s development story.” He called for the next chapter to respond to Uganda’s changing priorities through accessible climate finance, trade that rewards quality and value addition, education and innovation, and stronger Uganda–Europe cooperation in multilateral affairs. As Uganda and the @EUinUG look towards the next 50 years, the partnership continues to evolve from development cooperation towards deeper trade, investment, skills, innovation and sustainable growth, building on five decades of shared experience. 🇺🇬🇪🇺 EU–Uganda@50: Together, Tukola — Built by Uganda, Backed by the European Union. #EUUganda50

Mr. @Tybisa the PS at @UgandaMFA welcomed the @EUinUG Delegation to the Ministry and recognised generations of EU representatives whose sustained engagement has helped nurture the relationship. H.E. @JanSadek EU Ambassador to Uganda said: “A partnership is ultimately measured not only in years, but in lives changed.” He noted that the 12 stories demonstrate how Ugandans’ determination, talent and enterprise have given practical meaning to the partnership. Over five decades, Team Europe has provided more than €5 billion in development support to Uganda, while cooperation has expanded into trade, investment, climate action, education, health, security and humanitarian solidarity. #EUUganda50

🇺🇬🇪🇺 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the @EUinUG marked 50 years of partnership with a special photo exhibition in Kampala, bringing the story of the relationship to life through 12 Ugandan voices across agriculture, health, education, infrastructure, renewable energy, the creative economy and private enterprise. From a coffee farmer in Nakaseke and a midwife in Lamwo to an electric boda boda rider in Kampala, a refugee teacher in Yumbe and a young engineer involved in the Kampala Northern Bypass, the exhibition placed ordinary citizens at the centre of five decades of cooperation. #EUUganda50
