Switch Africa

In the Exhibition Tent of the Uganda Innovation Week, Bamboo Uganda is one of the social enterprises showcasing their work. The organization connects farmers, processors, designers, and businesses to develop the entire bamboo value chain. It also operates a processing facility in Mukono producing treated bamboo, laminated boards, and stick-based products, while supporting member enterprises like Amabanda Ltd (machinery), Bijimu Ltd (plantation mapping), and Ekibbo Ltd (farmer aggregation).

What does African representation in global climate leadership really mean?

As climate change continues to affect livelihoods, food security and communities across the continent, having a voice in global decision making matters more than ever. But representation must go beyond occupying positions; it must translate into meaningful influence, fair climate financing and solutions that reach the people most affected.

Poor sanitation is costing Uganda lives and Ugx 5.9 trillion every year. An estimated 33 children under five die daily from diarrhoeal diseases linked to inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene.

With Busoga, Bukedi and urban centres among the hardest hit, is Uganda investing enough to stop the losses?
