 By Mwebya Fred CEO of Ham Enterprises Uganda Limited All over the world countries grow and develop as a result of how strong and respected their systems and structures are. There is no doubt that fundamental growth and development depends on the prevailing economic, political and legal structures of a given nation or community. Unfortunately in many African communities little attention is paid to the proper set up of systems, structures and their functionality in achieving the desired level of growth and development.   There are three major categories of people we have in communities today; the politicians/leaders, entrepreneurs/business people and the craftsman/workers. The success of all these mentioned categories depends on how effective and real systems of a given community or nation are. In this missive I am going to focus on the factors that hinder the actual realization of economic development based on real impact of systems to the people in our community today. ...

My girlfriend hates it when I sit on the laptop for too long so I had to wait for her to go to bed for me to write this article. It is my usual behavior that at the beginning of the year to put out my thoughts either in a blog or in a live video on one of my social media platforms but unfortunately i am doing this on the 10th day of 2020. I am a bit shocked that I let this happen but I am also happy that I found the energy to do this late in the night when the whole world around me was so quiet and the only sound heard was that of birds.  The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about 2020 is the fact that its 10 years since I started practicing my passion in 2009 of writing stories to market products. You may ask yourself how come I found this passion and picked it on and my answer will shock many of you, I am very passionate about letting others know about the stuff that I know and the best way to do that is to tell the story the way I cherish best to win attenti...

Made In Uganda Logo It is very true that on top of being one of the most beautiful nations on the globe, Uganda has also been picked as one of the most enterprising countries in the world for years now. There is no doubt that the pearl of Africa can become a top attraction as an investment and tourism destination but we have got a role to play to keep this nation in the eyes of the global market. The first time I heard about Made In Uganda I did not give it much attention just like many of you haven’t but overtime I have come to agree that one of the reasons countries like China, Switzerland, France and the US are known globally is because of the things that they sell to the world ranging from Agricultural products, Entertainment inform of Music, Movies and Sports), Electronics etc. Uganda is a developing industrial hub with both small scale and large scale producers whose products are most times sold within the country and some abroad however these products and service...

New UOT President - AIGP Asan Kasingye  As the outgoing UOT President and Vice President prepare to hand over office to the newly democratically elected leadership, it is important to know something about the real beginning of UOT leadership ideas. Three years ago, with a group of friends who shared a deep passion for Twitter as a platform agreed that there was need for us to create points that would always bring us together as individuals using Twitter to drive conversations about personal brands, business brands and social economic issues affecting our communities. In 2017 I agreed to become the first President of UOT after deeply thinking about the benefits of having someone uniting us as Ugandans on social media. My term as UOT president did not come easy as many people did not understand why Ugandans on Twitter needed leadership and as such many people still spent a lot of time on social media hyping foreign content trends on their timelines than discussing issues reg...

Over the 2nd last weekend of May 2019 I visited the western part of Uganda to meet up with other Ugandans using technology to do business and execute their day to day jobs under a social event dubbed Ugandans On Technology Night ( #UOTNightWesternUg). This event is a social networking event that brings together people doing business on digital platforms so as to enhance physical relationships and also to foster stronger networking between individuals doing different activities online. There is a truth that many of us know is real but we are being reluctant to believe that its not a passing fad, that truth is the Internet and how it's steadily affecting and changing every aspect of human life from the food we eat to the transport systems, communication and health research. Developing economies are spending more money into designing programs based on the internet so as to improve the economic and social status of their people although this is not a strategy that has been ado...
