The Kingdom of Buganda has entered a strategic partnership with UNICEF to advance the rights and welfare of over 4.2 million children. The collaboration, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, will leverage the Kingdom’s deep community networks alongside UNICEF’s technical expertise.
The Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, stated that a community’s future is determined by how it cares for its children, affirming their absolute responsibility in this area. The partnership will focus on four key areas: improving child survival through immunization and health messaging, eliminating barriers to education, protecting children from violence and marriage, and promoting child participation. A Joint Steering Committee will be established to develop an action plan and monitor progress. UNICEF Representative Dr. Robin Nandy pledged to be a reliable and transparent partner, ensuring that investments translate into tangible improvements for children.
