President Yoweri Museveni has used his inauguration address to push for industrialisation, value addition, and skills-based economic transformation, warning that Africa cannot achieve sustainable prosperity while exporting raw materials and importing finished products.

Beyond the political symbolism of another presidential swearing-in, Museveni’s “Kisanja No Sleep” message signals a strategic shift toward household-level economic participation, placing wealth creation, productivity, and regional market integration at the center of Uganda’s next development phase.

Uganda will host the Digital Government Africa 2026 summit, bringing together leaders, tech experts, and investors to accelerate digital transformation and improve public service delivery across the continent.
