Today I chaired a panel discussion on Advancing the theory of Noonomy in Uganda’s Development Pathways at @Makerere. We explored how Uganda can move from consuming knowledge to producing it, and how AI & digitalisation can serve human development rather than deepen exclusion.

The DVCAA Prof. @SsaliSarah has presided over the historic inaugural conference on the Theory of Noonomy and encouraged delegates to explore a new paradigm for Africa’s sustainable transformation. She noted that Prof. Sergey Bodrunov’s Theory of Noonomy that prioritizes reason, humanistic values and solidarism, offers a sustainable path forward in the midst of global crises driven by market fundamentalism, resource depletion and endless growth, exacerbated by climate change, inequality, and social erosion. The Theory envisions a shift to a New Industrial Society of the Second Generation (NIS.2) where knowledge, technology, and human potential drive progress. The inaugural conference sought to contextualize Noonomy, integrate its principles into policy and education, foster collaboration, and lay the groundwork for establishment of a Noonomy Centre at the School of Economics @MakCoBAMS. Makerere, whose research constantly seeks to narrow the gap between the unique potential Africa holds and the poverty, climate vulnerability, technology dependence and weak knowledge integration experienced, is well-placed to advance this agenda. We congratulate Prof. @EdBbaale, the S.Y. Witte Institute of Noonomy and New Industrial Development 🇷🇺 and @RIFMakerere on a successful inaugural conference.
