Uganda's justice system serves millions, but too many people still struggle to access it, understand it, or trust it to work for them. That is why we are calling on Uganda's builders, coders, designers, and dreamers.
We are looking for practical, scalable solutions that solve real economic challenges, leverage local innovation, and can actually be used by real people.
The challenge:
Build a functional prototype that shows clear potential for scale and impact.
Your team: 3 to 5 members
Event Dates: 24th - 25th November 2026
Venue: JLOS Towers, Naguru, Kampala
Submission Deadline: 18th November 2026

Every child who comes into conflict with the law is still a child first.
Join us today, 12 Nov 2026 at 7:00 PM on @radiomaria 103.7 FM for a conversation on the Rights of Children in Conflict with the Law.
Our guest, Priscilla Nyarugoye, Senior Human Rights Officer at @UHRC_UGANDA, will unpack what the law says, what rights must be protected, and how we can ensure children are treated with dignity, fairness, and a chance to reform, not just punished.
This is for parents, teachers, justice actors, and everyone who believes in a justice system that protects children.
Tune in and join the conversation. @UNICEFUganda

How do we make justice work for children in Uganda?

From specialised handling of cases, to victim support, to what still needs to change, this is a discussion every justice actor, parent, educator and child rights advocate should follow.

DEPUTY IGG JOINS STAKEHOLDERS TO REVIEW PERFORMANCE OF GOVERNANCE AND SECURITY PROGRAMME
In a spirit of shared commitment to strengthening accountability across the public sector, the Deputy Inspector General of Government (DIGG), @DrOkiria, today joined key stakeholders to review the Governance and Security Programme (GSP) annual performance for FY 2025/2026 at Imperial Royale Hotel.
Organised by the Office of the President (OP), the review was intended to evaluate the GSP’s performance for FY 2025/2026, identify key challenges and propose appropriate mitigation measures including more strategic approaches to deepen implementation of the programme priorities in support of the Tenfold Growth Strategy, and highlight areas for enhanced resource mobilization.
During the same activity, the GSP report for FY2025/2026 was launched, marking the first assessment of performance under the second GSP Strategic Plan, which is aligned with the implementation of the Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV).
@DrOkiria's attendance was particularly significant given that the @IGGUganda's mandate of promoting just utilization of public resources, contributes to Objective Five of NDP IV which is; to enhance good governance, security, and strengthen the role of the state in development.
Her participation further reinforced the importance of institutional collaboration in advancing transparency and promoting quality and efficient service delivery to citizens.
The GSP brings together over 30 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) responsible for upholding the rule of law, ensuring security, maintaining law and order, public policy governance, access to justice, promoting human rights, accountability and transparency.
It was an honour to have you at the #GSPReview2026.
We look forward to more engagements with your support and guidance Hon. Dr. @MercyLakiskis
Today, at the 5th Annual Governance and Security Programme Review, I highlighted the critical congestion in Uganda’s juvenile justice facilities, most notably at Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Centre, where 1,233 children occupy space intended for 780. Urgent ministerial action is imperative to ensure our state care system protects the basic rights and human dignity of these young people.
To resolve this crisis, we are prioritizing faster case processing, expanded diversion mechanisms, facility upgrades, and root-cause reintegration. I also sincerely thank our development partners for supporting the construction of the Moroto Remand Home, vital for expanding access to justice in Karamoja.
I call on Programme leadership and security to immediately convert these resolutions into fully resourced work plans with strict performance metrics. State custody must not be a dead end; our mandate is to protect rights, restore dignity, and ensure every child receives a meaningful second chance.

The rule of law goes beyond courts, legislation and legal procedures. It is the foundation upon which societies are built, ensuring that everyone, from ordinary citizens to the most senior public officials, is accountable under the law.

"The rule of law is not merely a legal principle; it is a principle of governance. It is a principle of security, and it is a principle of development." "Lasting security is built when citizens trust that public institutions operate fairly and impartially," @Dr_KatjaK noted

Opening the Fifth Annual Governance and Security Programme (GSP) Performance Review, the Permanent Secretary, Office of the President, and Chairperson of the GSP Programme Working Group, Hajj Yunus Kakande, emphasised that economic transformation cannot be achieved in isolation from good governance, institutional accountability, the rule of law, and national security. These are fundamental to investor confidence, social stability and effective service delivery.
