Today in Mombasa, Kenya, I participated in the Ministerial Session of the 2nd Eastern Africa Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action alongside @IGADsecretariat Ministerial colleagues.

The platform provided a key opportunity to review regional progress, showcase Uganda’s commitments, and engage in high-level discussions on sustainable financing for early action.

The event culminated in the signing of the Mombasa Ministerial Declaration, formalizing our shared mission to turn climate and disaster risk into long-term resilience. Uganda stands firmly committed to embedding proactive early action at the core of our regional response framework.

On Saturday, I joined the people of Sheema County South, Sheema District, for the thanksgiving service of Hon. Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu.

The ceremony was graced by H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni as the Chief Guest.

Prof. Kamuntu is a valued long-term friend and a highly respected leader.

I was delighted to join him in celebrating this milestone and to witness the love and appreciation the community holds for him.

At the 77th Session of the UNHCR Executive Committee (ExCom) in Geneva, I delivered a clear call to the international community to move beyond mere pledges and deliver tangible, lasting results for refugees and the communities that host them.

As the world marks the 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the core principles of international solidarity and protection are under acute strain from protracted global crises and uncertain funding environments.

Pledges are not an end in themselves, the true measure of success is whether international commitments translate into real support building self-reliance, expanding inclusion, and strengthening national systems in host countries.

I called on all global stakeholders to fulfill existing pledges and clearly communicate their real-world impact, support host-country leadership with predictable financial, technical, and material cooperation, ensure the active participation and leadership of refugees and host communities in decision-making, prepare ambitious, realistic, and grounded commitments for the next GRF.

As a co-convenor and co-host of the Global Refugee Forum, I reaffirmed our commitment to working with all partners to ensure the Global Compact on Refugees serves as a vehicle for concrete progress in the lives of displaced people worldwide.
