Dear Reader,
This is to present to you the March edition of our monthly e-magazine, The Presidency. The e-magazine is one of our Open Government initiatives at the GCIC, to bring the Government closer to the citizens. The monthly e-publication highlights the major engagements of His Excellency the President for the month.
In every edition, we try as much as possible to include the feedback received from readers of the previous edition, and to make your reading very comfortable.
As is the practice, we bring you His Excellency’s major speech of the month. In this edition, we have annexed the President’s address to the nation on the occasion of marking the International Women’s Day, delivered on 8th March, 2022, at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds.
The month of March was very busy for His Excellency the President. He increased his upcountry engagements with launch of cattle compensation programme for Northern Uganda, in Soroti. He launched the Alumni Public Library and E-learning Centre at Teso College, Aloet, in Soroti, and addressed the newly accredited Ambassadors and Heads of Missions at National Leadership Institute, Kyankwanzi. On a more important note, the Asian Business Leadership Forum (ABLF), Asia’s most influential leadership platform honoured President Yoweri Museveni with a Statesman Award in recognition of his achievements and contributions to the economic, political and cultural developments in Uganda. We congratulate His Excellency the President.
Lastly, we encourage the citizens to give us their feedback and suggestions about the e-magazine and our other services through our platforms; email: citizen@gcic.go.ug, Whatsapp: 0414670288 or through our social media handles; GCICUganda. We also encourage the citizens who have benefited from the different interventions, programmes and projects commissioned by the President to send us their experiences in form of articles. We shall publish them. In this edition, we have published an article on the progress of silkworm farming in Uganda, by Fred Nangoli, an Information Officer at State House.
I now have the pleasure to present to you the tenth edition of The Presidency.
