Thanks for sharing this great piece.

Not that I know of or seen any; What's currently emphasized is a gazette on the Traffic and Road Safety Regulations. Let me find out more real-time details and share.

In Uganda, The Ministry of Works and Transport has officially gazetted the Traffic and Road Safety (Prescription of Speed Limits) Regulations, 2024, enforcing a new maximum speed limit of 30 km/h on roads adjacent to schools, churches, hospitals, markets, and business centers. The regulation targets areas with heavy foot and vehicle traffic aiming to reduce accidents and improve road safety for users. Kindly, follow the full article on: https://nilepost.co.ug/news/243435/new-speed-limit-regulation-to-save-lives-in-high-traffic-areas

I have worked and participated on climate change related work and research. There are several issues hindering the need for climate change sustainability. For Uganda, there remains minimal comprehensive knowledge about climate change related mechanisms at community level. The usual projects like planting trees, making briquettes, are undertaken on a very small scale. Policy majorly ends in conference rooms and workshops with less to no involvement or operationalization of climate change attributes across affected communities.

Lived realities: For example, Mt. Rwenzori glaciers continue to deplete. The only mountain with snow yet the Equator passes through. It inhabits unique species that continue to go extinct. Yet, due to climate change, and extreme heat, the glaciers are vanishing. During rainy seasons, extreme floods affect Uganda and DRC........

At a small scale, we see restoration of lost species, leveraging bee keeping, and managing population growth. This is a long path to change. But, amidst the different strategies, if we leverage on cross-border climate change interventions, we could push further.

What is your opinion about the UN80 and the 20% budget cut? How would you go about keeping the UN afloat?

Great. Congratulations

True indeed IITUMBA Ndinelao,Namibia,PCKMD, striking a balance in methodical rigor erases gaps in a real-life context. It brings to life lived experiences, and blending facts.

Very true. Interestingly, the hybrid Policy and Programme Dialogue sparked thoughts on integrating and mainstreaming gender across workstreams.

What if, we also looked at this from the funding angle, how about approaching prospective donors in a completely different way. Instead of going to a donor with our agenda, what if, we designed a fundraising strategy with an attribute of aligning our comparative advantage with the potential donor/funder. This may help us understand the donor's priorities, enable us brainstorm ideas that fit into the donor funding portfolio, and align our business case/concepts/proposals. Kindly, what are your thoughts?

Indeed, dancing in the rain with strategy. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the LinkedIn piece, will definitely read.

As the world grapples global shocks, organizations’ survival hangs by a thread. Emerging from covid-19 hiccups, and entering sudden Trump executive orders, nations especially African governments and various institutions remain uncertain of their commitments to socio-economic development. what strategies/approaches can they utilize to remain relevant and or continue their operations? and how may they go about it?

During the current Liquidity crisis (20% cut), what strategies/approaches and how can they be utilized to keep institutions afloat?

These are great insights. Thanks for sharing Bernard

One of the areas would be managing population growth

Interesting.
