- FIRST LADY CALLS ON STAKEHOLDERS TO SUPPORT THE EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAMME
The First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports Mrs Janet Museveni has called on stakeholders from Government Agencies, the Private Sector and Civil Society to support the Emerging Leaders Programme that focuses on values, character development and life skills for young people.
The Emerging Leaders Programme is an initiative by the First Lady to address the moral and ethical decadence among the youth. It aims at nurturing and empowering the young people so as to raise a dignified generation of youth, strong in stature, character and wisdom. These will then become responsible and productive citizens for sustainable development.
The programme, which is being implemented in partnership with Makerere University, Life Ministry Uganda and the Global Leadership Summit, started with students in Tertiary institutions and was piloted in Makerere University. It is a capacity building and behavioral intervention coded “The Safe Campaign”.
On Wednesday, the First Lady chaired a stakeholders’ engagement to discuss how to hold hands with different institutions in implementing the Emerging Leaders Program. The meeting was hosted at State House Nakasero and was attended by over 70 stakeholders representing institutions that focus on HIV/Aids, substance abuse, anti- corruption and the financial sector.
It was graced by the Rt. Hon. Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa, religious leaders, the Inspector General of Government, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education and Sports, the Makerere University Council Chairperson and Vice-Chancellor. Others were representatives from Makerere Students Guild and CEOs from leading Media organisations including Vision Group’s Don Wanyama.
“I invite you to join me, as we empower the next generation to realize their unique, God-given potential and to contribute positively to our nation's future,” Mrs. Museveni said.
“Together, let us invest in our youth, instil in them the values of integrity, resilience, and purpose; empowering them to become the ethical and responsible professionals Uganda yearns for,” she added.
According to the First Lady, the collective efforts will not only transform individual lives, allowing them to reach their full potential, but also pave the way for a brighter and more prosperous future for our entire nation.
The First Lady indicated that the Emerging Leaders Program is more than an initiative. She described it as a beacon of hope, a catalyst for change, and a demonstration of what we can achieve, when we unite around a common cause.
Every day, she said, countless youngsters of this nation deviate from the path of greatness, in the face of real-life challenges that have robbed the destiny of many.
“Yet we all know that in the heart and mind of every young person, lies the potential for a bright future. Take a moment to imagine a generation that rises above these challenges with resilience, driven by a deep commitment to overcome every youthful lust, while embracing integrity and great stewardship of the resources entrusted to them,” she said.
Mrs. Museveni said, that today we stand at crossroads and we cannot stay silent any more. She noted that we cannot sit back and hope that all will be well.
“I know that all of us watch and listen to what is happening to our children and we shake our heads and we mourn inwardly and do nothing about it. What is fuelling this corruption is that Ugandans have taken off their hands on what they ought to do and they allow other people to do it for us everywhere. Instead of mourning individually and inwardly, lets hold hands”.
She said that while, she is mindful of the fact that each one of the stakeholders does great work to address these issues, she believes that together so much can be achieved to change this narrative and build a better Uganda.
The First Lady indicated that the Emerging Leaders Program is more than an initiative. She described it as a beacon of hope, a catalyst for change, and a demonstration of what we can achieve, when we unite around a common cause.
“Imagine a society where all our young people are committed to ascribe to this SAFE Campaign.”
Mrs Museveni said that by expanding the Emerging Leaders Program nationwide, the country will mould, impact, inspire and influence graduates, entering the workforce to espouse values-based leadership, as they serve the nation in their various work places and capacities.
She lauded Makerere University, LIFE Ministry Uganda and the Global Leadership Summit in Uganda, for their unwavering dedication and exceptional leadership, in executing the Emerging Leaders Program.
“Your commitment has been instrumental in the successful implementation of this initiative thus far. Thank you very much for rising to the occasion and graciously stewarding this work,” she said.
God bless you MAMA for holding this nation in Christ

The First Lady,Mrs Janet Museveni, captured the worrisome trend in Africa in this speech.
One is the vices our youths are into now.The other is values-based leadership by those who are serving our nations.
The main issue with our youths is one of denial.They refused to accept that the world orders have changed and that they have to change along.
The youths need to be re-orientated to embrace the integrated agriculture wealth creation program and the Vocational Skills Acquisition entrepreneurship program as lauched by President Museveni.These are capable of diverting their minds from these vices as highlighted by the First Lady.
For value-based leadership for those in the workforce.A video is streaming online on how the president arrested some. Ugandans It will be of interest for us to find out how this was carried out and adopt the model.Other method, in my opinion, is the deployment of technology .
