📍 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. 🇺🇬🇪🇺
