How have your cultural leaders promoted improved service delivery and development in the Rwenzori region & Western Uganda?
BACKGROUND
The 1995 Uganda constitution guaranteed the
restoration of cultural institutions in Uganda. One of the main
expectations from these institutions is to promote service delivery and
preservation of acceptable socio-cultural norms that promote
development.
For example, in the year 2000 Queen Sylvia Naginda
Luswata of Buganda Kingdom founded the Nnabagereka Development Trust in
2000 to promote the health, education and well-being of women and
children in Uganda. The Trust focuses on HIV/AIDS education, educating
girls, prevention of childhood diseases and vocational training.
She
noted that the first girls’ school in Uganda was built by Buganda
chiefs in 1905, who felt their daughters should be educated. Other
girls’ schools followed. She is also a goodwill ambassador for UNFPA,
the United Nations Population Fund. The Queen believes that cultural
leaders play an important role in the development of nations like
Uganda.
