As a graduate of Computer Science and information technology, I had an early realization that unemployment & Climate change was a deeps-seated problem for young graduates in Uganda. It’s in that moment that I discovered my passion for Youth skilling and Employment, Climate Action, and most recently keen on Food Systems and Peace Building. I have come to learn that with most of these issues there is need for a global view and interaction. To further my skills and exposure, I have since enrolled for another Degree in Diplomatic and international relations. With like minded friends we pioneered Uganda’s first online merchandising platform [an amazon of sorts] that make Markets and Trade services easily accessible and provides a platform to showcase one’s goods on line for local and global markets. The platform has so far contributed close to 218 jobs directly and indirectly for youth. Its accessible on www.merchandiseuganda.com, I Over the years I have also worked to promote the sustainable natural resources management agenda, pro-actively advocating for climate change, built capacity of youth in harnessing sustainable development in communities. Due to my visible work on youth involvement in the climate change conversation, I was one of the Ugandan youths selected to participate in the recently concluded Stockholm +50 conference & COP27 where I proactively engaged on ways the development partners/Community can enhance youth participation in the climate change conversation. I therefore express my interest to participate in the program as a young innovator, pro-active youth rights advocate and environment rights defender as an important platform for me to extend my volunteerism and share knowledge, skills, creativity and technical expertise. I really believe this is a timely opportunity for me towards impressive message output development, timely and successful achievement of program goals that promotes Organization. In my 7 years of as a Youth Development activist and environment rights defender, I have contributed to discussions that aim towards the development of a joint approach by Youth, Women, local governments and partners in the region, under the UN-Uganda SDGs cooperation 2020-2025 and Project Our City 2030 by WWF, on human mobility in the context of climate change in the region with Great lakes Youth Network for Peace development. I have contributed to Uganda’s Universal Periodic Review offering leadership on submission on a youth specific cluster thematic report. I have equally had a rare opportunity to follow and participate in Uganda’s legislative process around the recently passed Climate change bill 2020. I was a Uganda Youth Delegate to Stockholm+50 in Sweden Negotiating for the prospective increase of voices of youth, active participation in Youth sustainable investment and Climate Financing Negotiations. I look forward to the opportunity to bring experiences of Ugandan youth to the Engagements.
