AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Education & Arts Funding: Uganda’s 2026/27 Budget boosts education, skills and sports, with arts teachers and primary classroom teachers getting a 25% salary enhancement—primary minimum pay rises from Shs499,684 to Shs624,605, while secondary arts degree holders move from Shs960,288 to Shs1,200,360. Creative Economy Push: Government also earmarks Shs33bn to set up a revolving fund for musicians and other creatives, plus renewed focus on copyright protection and a “home for artists” idea to help creatives earn more from their work. Aviation & Tourism Momentum: Uganda Airlines plans to refresh its fleet with 10 Boeing aircraft (eight passenger jets plus two freighters) to strengthen Entebbe connections, while tourism gets Shs567bn for destination marketing, infrastructure, standards and conservation. Ebola Shockwaves: Coverage keeps returning to the expanding Ebola situation in eastern DR Congo and its spillover risk into Uganda, alongside fresh debate over travel restrictions and double standards. Court & Public Life: A Kampala High Court orders Gen Muhoozi to file his defence in the Besigye hanging case, setting deadlines for submissions and hearing. Sports Spotlight: Uganda’s sports budget is set at Shs460.78bn for AFCON 2027 preparations, with stadium upgrades and infrastructure work highlighted. Labour Migration Tracking: Government plans a digital tracking system for Ugandans working abroad under labour externalisation, aiming to locate workers and improve consular support. Music & Culture Buzz: Internationally, Skrillex drops SOMA, and Uganda’s cultural conversations keep heating up around Paul Kafeero’s DNA and the respect due to the dead.
