#local governance

In Makindye Ssabagabo Municipality, Uganda, local leaders recently participated in an induction workshop focused on leveraging decentralisation to enhance public service delivery amid urban expansion. The workshop emphasized the importance of effective governance in achieving quality services, reflecting a commitment from newly elected political and technical leaders to strengthen local administration.

During a capacity-building workshop for various local government officials in Buganda Region, Minister for the Presidency Hon. Babirye Milly Babalanda criticized some Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) for writing negative reports about her office. She described this behavior as disrespectful and a betrayal of their responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the chain of command and focusing on government programs that affect local communities.
