Museveni Urges Cultural Institutions to Foster Unity and Wealth Creation
Uganda’s President, Yoweri Museveni, recently emphasized the crucial role of cultural institutions in promoting unity and facilitating wealth creation among their subjects. During a meeting with cultural leaders at Kasagama in Mbarara District, Museveni highlighted the need for cultural institutions to leverage their networks and influence to empower their communities economically. According to the President, cultural institutions should encourage their subjects to embrace modern agricultural practices, engage in value addition, establish small-scale industries, and promote tourism based on cultural heritage. By embracing these opportunities, he believes that communities can generate wealth and improve their livelihoods. Museveni further urged cultural leaders to foster unity among their subjects by promoting dialogue, resolving conflicts, and preserving cultural values. He emphasized that a harmonious society is fundamental for economic development and progress. The President’s call for the involvement of cultural institutions in wealth creation is part of Uganda’s broader development strategy. The country has recently introduced a number of initiatives aimed at empowering communities and promoting economic growth, including the Parish Development Model, which focuses on transforming rural areas. Cultural institutions play a significant role in Ugandan society, serving as custodians of tradition, cultural identity, and history. They have the ability to mobilize their subjects, provide guidance, and influence decision-making. By leveraging their influence, cultural institutions can become powerful agents of change and contribute to the socio-economic development of their communities. President Museveni’s call for unity and wealth creation is a timely reminder of the importance of cultural institutions in building a prosperous and progressive Uganda. By working together, cultural leaders can empower their subjects economically, foster social harmony, and preserve the country’s rich cultural heritage.Port Adelaide Team Changes for Round 14

The President, who was speaking at the closure of a two-day retreat for cultural leaders at State House Entebbe, said that the institutions should use their influence to mobilize their subjects for commercial agriculture, tourism, and other income-generating activities. Museveni noted that Uganda has a lot of potential for wealth creation, but that this potential has not been fully exploited due to, among other things, lack of unity and cooperation among the people. He said that cultural institutions can play a key role in bringing people together and fostering a sense of unity and purpose. “Cultural institutions have a great role to play in our country. They can help us to promote unity, cooperation, and development,” Museveni said. The President urged the cultural leaders to work closely with the government in implementing its development programs. He said that the government is committed to supporting cultural institutions and will provide them with the necessary resources to carry out their activities. The retreat was attended by over 100 cultural leaders from across the country. It was organized by the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development in partnership with the Uganda Cultural Institutions Forum.
