ON Uganda

Can a carbon project succeed if the farmers involved do not understand its value?

Bashir, founder of Stack Carbon, discusses the use of crushed rocks on agricultural land as part of an enhanced rock weathering approach to carbon removal. Beyond the science, our conversation explores how to engage smallholder farmers through the issues they already understand, soil health, changing weather, crop yields and profitability.

An important discussion about translating complex climate technologies into practical agricultural opportunities.

Could what we wear inspire someone to visit Uganda?

We meet Katende Godfrey from IGC Fashion to discuss how Ugandan fashion and cultural heritage can become part of the tourism experience.

Our conversation explores the reinvention of barkcloth, the growing appeal of African design and the opportunities for collaboration between fashion creatives and tourism operators.

Fashion doesn't just tell people what we wear. It can tell them who we are, where we come from and why our culture is worth experiencing.

Carbon markets are often discussed through emissions, credits and financing. But what do those numbers mean for an ordinary Ugandan?

Howard Kiwon of Mandulis Energy brings the energy transition into everyday life, from reliable electricity that allows children to study to cleaner cooking and electric motorcycles that could reduce operating costs for boda boda riders.

We explore how carbon finance can support practical energy solutions and why the success of climate investment should ultimately be measured in better livelihoods, greater opportunity and improved quality of life.

A great destination matters. But what about the person showing you around?

In this episode, we speak with Joshua Sunjai, a licensed tour guide, about the role of guides in shaping memorable tourism experiences.

From Karamoja and Sipi Falls to rafting and cultural experiences, Joshua explains why understanding travellers' interests and introducing them to something unexpected can transform a trip.

We explore the importance of knowledgeable guides, personalised itineraries and discovering Uganda beyond the familiar attractions.

What changes when government stops simply opening industry events and starts participating in the difficult conversations?

Peter Benhur Nyeko of Mandulis Energy reflects on the growing engagement of ministers, commissioners, directors and technical officers at the East Africa Carbon Markets Forum 2026.

We discuss why Uganda’s emerging carbon market needs stronger cooperation between regulators, developers, investors and communities, and why young people, Members of Parliament and local communities must have a greater voice in shaping its future.

An episode about moving from representation to meaningful participation.

What makes a visitor fall in love with Uganda?

We sit down with Anna Grodzki from Matoke Tours Africa to explore what makes Uganda such a memorable destination.

From extraordinary landscapes to meaningful encounters with local communities, Anna shares why Uganda offers experiences that stay with travellers long after they leave.

We also discuss domestic tourism, cultural discovery and the importance of helping more Ugandans experience their own country.

Everyone agrees that Uganda’s carbon market needs collaboration. But what does meaningful collaboration actually look like?

At the East Africa Carbon Markets Forum 2026, Mark Mutaahi, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon Access Lab, explains why government, investors, banks and project developers can share the same ambition yet struggle to move together.

Using the analogy of passengers travelling in different carriages of the same train, he explores how understanding each stakeholder’s role, readiness and priorities can help turn conversations into viable partnerships.

A conversation about connecting the right people to move Uganda’s carbon projects forward.

What if Uganda's cultural heritage could become one of its most exciting tourism experiences?

In the first episode of On Uganda, in the Field, we speak with Rasheeda Nalumoso of Live Traces Producing about fashion, barkcloth and the opportunities within Uganda's creative economy.

We explore how traditional materials can inspire contemporary fashion, how creative experiences can become tourism products and why partnerships between designers and tourism operators matter.

Uganda has more to offer than sightseeing.

Sometimes, the experience is in what we create, wear and learn.

You're spending 70% of your time on grunt work.

Formatting. Resizing. Data entry. Chasing approvals.

Only 30% on the work that actually matters—strategy, creativity, big ideas.

AI flips that ratio.

In this episode, we explore:

→ How AI liberates communicators to focus on high-value work

→ Why "AI fluency" is the new career literacy

→ Real workflows from Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda

If you're tired of being busy but not productive, this conversation will change how you work.

Experts like Henry Mbwille, Hilda K. speak to Aggie patricia Turwomwe, and Betty Kakyo of Agile Media Africa.

What's one repetitive task you wish AI could handle for you right now?

She built an empire supporting Uganda's youth and women entrepreneurs, and what she reveals about the system working against them will make you angry.Did you know Ugandan innovators sometimes have to fly to Zimbabwe or South Africa just to buy a certification standard... for a product THEY invented? Or that Kenya buys our raw materials, repackages them, and sells them back to us at triple the price?In this episode, Hadijah Nankanja, founder of the Community Women's Enterprise Network — pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a business from nothing in Uganda.From a 19-year-old girl with no national ID who now runs seven products and employs eight people, to a customer who flew in from Switzerland just to verify her tea was real, this conversation is full of moments that will stick with you.We talk about;✅ Why "informal" doesn't mean incapable, and the hidden cost of staying that way✅ The information gap that's silently killing brilliant ideas before they start✅ How government bodies working in silos are strangling entrepreneurs✅ Why Uganda's youth are more advanced than anyone gives them credit for✅ What it will really take to get products made by youth and women onto our shelvesThis is a conversation about dignity, trust, and what happens when you finally believe your work, and your country, is worth building on.

She was called a "planned kid."

Undermined for being young, a woman, and having an accent. And she almost let a secret slip on camera. 👀

In this episode, we sit down with brand strategist and digital powerhouse Tracy Ikopit for a conversation that gets uncomfortably honest about what it really takes to lead when the whole room doubts you.

We go deep into the Gen Z vs. older generation divide, the misconceptions, the myths about laziness, and why "working smarter, not harder" isn't an excuse, it's a survival strategy.

Tracy breaks down where AI actually fits into the future of work (and why "garbage in, garbage out" is the truest thing you'll hear all week), why influencer marketing is broken, and what it really means to be a patriot when your country doesn't always make it easy to love it.

This is a conversation about marketing, digital trends, about faith, identity, resilience, and refusing to let anyone else write your story.

If you've ever been the youngest person in the room, the only one who looks like you, or the one everyone underestimated… this episode is for you.

He's seen a 28-year-old suffer a stroke. He's watched children too heavy to walk on their own. And he says most of us are one bad meal pattern away from losing everything.

This episode will change how you look at your plate. Forever.

We sat down with Ivan Philip Baguma — registered dietician, nutritionist, and founder of Amicable Nutritionists — and he didn't come to be polite. He came with receipts.

What he shared in this conversation stopped us cold.

Uganda is silently carrying THREE nutrition crises at the same time — people starving, people overeating, and millions eating enough food but still malnourished. And nobody is connecting the dots.

We talked about the foods sitting in your kitchen right now that could be destroying your skin, spiking your blood pressure, and quietly robbing you of your fertility. We talked about why the "balanced diet" you were taught in school is no longer enough. And we talked about the one night in an ICU that could wipe out everything you've ever saved.

But this episode isn't just about fear. It's about power.

Because when you know better, you eat better. And when you eat better? You think sharper, earn more, stress less, and show up fully — for your family, your business, your purpose.

⚡ In this episode:

The shocking truth about Uganda's triple nutrition burden

Why a 28-year-old ended up with partial paralysis

The common foods that trigger psoriasis, eczema & skin flare-ups

Why keto without supervision can literally kill you

How one host cleared 85% body psoriasis in just 2 months through diet

The real cost of getting sick in Uganda (hint: 7 million a night)

What foods to pair, what to cut, and how to eat for YOUR body

Why most nutrition advice online is dangerous for YOU specifically

Practical tips for eating well — whether you're in Kampala or Karamoja

You've been eating "healthy" but still feel off

Here's  the truth about wealth in Uganda. 

You've been working hard. 

Saving a little. 

Trying. 

But something still feels off, like everyone else has a secret you were never given.

What if the secret doesn't exist?

In this episode, we sit down with Elijah Omagor — lawyer, finance expert, and one of the most quietly powerful voices on wealth-building in Uganda, and he says the thing nobody in your family, your school, or your workplace had the courage to say out loud.

The reason you're not where you want to be... might be your parents' success.

They suffered so you wouldn't have to. And in doing so, they may have accidentally raised a generation that doesn't know how to fight.

This conversation will challenge you. It will sit with you. And if you let it, it will change how you move.

IN THIS EPISODE;

🌱 Why wealth is a seed, and most of us are eating ours instead of planting it

😤 Why foreigners are getting rich in Uganda while locals watch, and what that really says about us

💸 The truth about get-rich-quick schemes and why patience is your most underrated asset

📖 The biblical curse behind families that lose wealth in one generation

🧠 Why young employees quit when asked to simply think

🌍 Why your next investor might not be in Uganda, and why that's actually good news

🏛️ The hard truth about Ugandan politics that most people are afraid to say on camera

This is not motivational fluff.

This is a real conversation, with a real expert, about the real reasons Uganda's young generation is either rising, or being left behind.

Podcast on Uganda | Real Conversations. Real Knowledge. Real Progress.

The scale of capital already flowing through domestic public markets surprises most people who assume Uganda lacks investor participation.

You've been working. Saving. Hustling. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you've always felt like real investing, the kind that actually builds wealth was for someone else. Someone richer. Someone from a different country. Someone who already had money to lose.

This episode will change how you see that.

We sat down with Isaac Kayemba, a financial analyst and revenue expert at the Uganda Securities Exchange, and what he shared will make you genuinely angry that no one taught you this sooner.

Did you know you can start investing in Uganda with 12,000 shillings?

Did you know the people who bought MTN shares at IPO have more than doubled their money?

Did you know there is 26 trillion shillings of Ugandan domestic capital already working in this economy, and you could be part of that?

This is not theory neither is it motivation. This is a masterclass in what's actually available to you right now, and why fear, bad debt, and shady unregulated schemes are the only things standing between you and financial growth.

Isaac breaks down;

📈 How to start investing with what you already earn

💼 Why giving up equity in your business might be the smartest move you ever make

⚠️ The financial habits that are quietly destroying your future

🌍 Why the biggest risk to Uganda's economy isn't even in Uganda

🏦 What the Uganda Securities Exchange actually does — in plain language

Whether you're on your first job, running a small business, or just tired of watching your savings lose value while you do nothing, this episode is your turning point.

Someone in your family has it. You just don't know yet.1 in 3 adults in Kampala has high blood pressure right now. Diabetes has doubled in 10 years. And the patients living with it? Some of them told our guest, a world-class researcher, that they wish they had HIV instead.Because at least HIV has care.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Francis Xavier Kasujja,Public Health Researcher at MRC UVRI and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine — a man who has spent 15 years quietly doing the work that is reshaping how Uganda treats its sickest people. His research has been published twice in The Lancet, the most prestigious medical journal in the world. And his findings helped change government health policy.But he didn't come here to talk about accolades.He came to tell you the truth.In this conversation, you'll discover;

🔴 Why patients with diabetes say they'd rather have HIV

🔴 The silent epidemic hiding in 1 in 3 Kampala adults

🔴 How a Rolex — yes, that Rolex — is one of Uganda's biggest health hazards

🔴 The groundbreaking research that is moving healthcare from hospitals into your community 🔴 Why Uganda's entire health system was built for diseases we've already beaten

🔴 The brutal truth about the pain you are choosing every single dayThis is not a comfortable conversation. It was never meant to be.Because the people you love, your mother, your uncle, your colleague who seems just fine — they may already be carrying something that our system is not equipped to treat. And the window to change that is closing.

This episode will make you rethink everything — what you eat, how you move, and what it really means to take care of yourself in Uganda today.

The Podcast on Uganda — building the middle class economy, one conversation at a time.

Nobody told you that the world is reorganizing, and Uganda is right in the middle of it.

We sat down with award-winning journalist Raymond Majuni, one of the most sought-after geopolitical analysts in East Africa, and what he said in this episode will change how you see your fuel pump, your salary, your shilling, and your future.

This is not a political debate. This is your life, explained.

In this episode, we unpack;

Why the US dollar is losing its grip as the world's reserve currency, and what that means for YOUR money

The 23-day fuel reserve crisis nobody is talking about

How wars in Iran and Congo are already affecting the price you pay at the pump TODAY

Why Uganda's gold boom is stabilizing your shilling — but you're not seeing any of it

The terrifying truth about Uganda's budget, we need 80 trillion, we raise 40

Why peace is Uganda's most underrated asset, and how close we've come to losing it forever

What East African integration ACTUALLY means for your job, your business, and your family

The one thing Raymond says young Ugandans must stop doing if they want to see this country change

This episode will make you feel things.

You'll feel the weight of how connected your daily life is to decisions made in Washington, Tehran, and Brussels. You'll feel the urgency. And if you're paying attention, you'll feel the opportunity too.

Raymond doesn't just bring problems. He brings THE context. He brings clarity. And for the first time, things that felt far away will feel personal.

What if everything you're building right now could be switched off tomorrow, and there's nothing you can do about it?

That's not a hypothetical. That's already happening to African founders. And most of us don't even know we're at risk. Roland Ganafa, Co-Founder & CEO of AI Studio Uganda — a man who is quietly doing what most people only talk about. He's building Uganda's sovereign AI infrastructure. Offline. Local. Ours.

How Uganda already has the compute, the talent, and the money, we just don't believe it yet

Why your degree is NOT your competitive advantage (and what actually is)

We are sitting on a goldmine and most of us don't even know it.

Uganda has the rain. The soil. The land. The climate that the whole world envies. And yet, we are importing the food we should be growing ourselves.

Joel Ssenjala, Country Manager of Holland Greentech, a man who has spent over a decade in the trenches of Uganda's agricultural sector, shares what will make you angry, inspired, and ready to act.

🔥 In this conversation, we uncover;

- Why Uganda only produces 50% of the vegetables it consumes, despite having the most fertile soils in East Africa. The one statistic that should terrify every Ugandan is— the average farmer is 65 years old. Who takes over?

- How 8 million bags of coffee worth $2 billion are being produced by smallholder farmers with almost zero access to finance

- Why your bank will give you a mortgage before they give a farmer a greenhouse loan, and what that says about our priorities

- The hidden billion-dollar opportunities in horticulture, aquaculture, and agri-tech that young Ugandans are sleeping on

What happens when a journalist who covers the most painful stories in the country, assault, poverty, mental health, injustice, finally tells her OWN story?

You get this episode.

Mildred Pedun is one of Uganda's most respected broadcast journalists and communication strategists at Nation Media Group. But behind the camera, behind the microphone, behind the composed face you see on NTV, is a woman who has fought self-doubt, brushed shoulders with depression, and chosen every single day to show up anyway.

And in this conversation, she holds nothing back.

🔥 What you'll hear in this episode will shake you;

The story of a young girl assaulted by her own father, and what happened after the cameras stopped rolling

Why 14 million Ugandans are silently suffering, and why that number keeps growing

The truth about what's really happening inside Uganda's schools that no one is addressing

How childhood trauma is quietly destroying marriages, careers, and entire families

Why Mildred herself nearly broke, and what pulled her back

The one thing she says every parent MUST hear before it's too late

💬 This episode will hit you differently if you've ever;

Felt like you were drowning but kept smiling anyway

Wondered if your story even matters

Watched someone you love fall apart and didn't know what to say

Been told to "just push through" when you had nothing left

Wanted to speak up but stayed silent because you feared judgment.

This is a mirror. And when you listen, you will see yourself, or someone you love, somewhere in this conversation.If this hit differently, We find the leaders moving the needle, and we make them talk.

He Was On an Operating Table Wishing He'd Never Wake Up. Today He's Building Africa's AI Economy.

What happens when a man loses everything, his girlfriend, his money, his will to live, and still comes back to change an entire continent?

You get Isaac Odongo Sr.

Angel investor. AI educator. The man quietly training the next generation of Uganda's tech economy, one classroom, boardroom, one WhatsApp group, one life at a time.

In this episode, Isaac sits down with Aggie Patricia Turwomwe and holds NOTHING back.

He reveals the exact systems he uses to help businesses go from spending 30 million shillings a month on marketing with zero results… to generating 3,000 pre-qualified leads with just $1,000.

He talks about the $20 ChatGPT subscription that does the job of a $90,000/month agency.

He exposes why your data is being harvested RIGHT NOW 

— 20,000 cookies a day — and what to do about it.

And then he gets personal. Deeply personal.

In this episode you'll discover;

⚡ The Master Prompt + System Prompt framework that turns AI into a money machine 

⚡ Why Rwanda is 5 years ahead of Uganda, and what it will cost us if we don't wake up 

⚡ The WhatsApp tool generating millions for smart businesses (it costs $19/year) 

⚡ How to build and sell AI services with nothing but a smartphone 

⚡ The truth about your data, who's selling it, who's buying it, and how to protect yourself 

⚡ Why most Ugandan businesses are hemorrhaging money on team building instead of competence building 

⚡ Isaac's near-death experience that completely rewired how he sees purpose, money and success

This is a masterclass disguised as a conversation.

Every entrepreneur, creator, student, and professional watching this will finish it differently from how they started it.

You will question what you've been doing with your time. 

You will question who's been profiting from your data. 

You will question whether the 9-to-5 grind has been the biggest distraction from your actual potential.

And if you're brave enough to act on what Isaac shares here, your life one year from now will look unrecognisable.

"It's not patriotism, it's ENVY." This economist just exposed the uncomfortable truth about why Uganda can't grow. And it has NOTHING to do with what you think.

You're working hard. Grinding every day. But somehow, you're still broke. Your business isn't breaking even. The country feels stuck. And deep down, you're wondering "Is something wrong with ME?"

The answer will shock you.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, economist Arnold Spencer Turwomwe (PhD candidate in Energy Economics) reveals the SPIRITUAL and economic forces keeping Uganda—and YOU—from prosperity. 

This isn't your typical "motivational" podcast. 

This is the truth nobody wants to say out loud.

"We're not go-getters. We're waiting to be given."

As Ugandans, we have EVERYTHING we need to achieve middle-income status. 

The resources. 

The talent. 

The opportunities. 

The budget allocations are there.

But we're sitting back, waiting for someone else to do the work.

Someone gets PDM money and buys one piglet. Then waits. Farmers grow pineapples. Then wait for the motor car buyers to come. We have stunning tourism sites. But we're not telling our story.

Meanwhile, our neighbours are dressing impeccably, oozing confidence, and taking opportunities we should be getting.

The question is always "What will the government do?" The question is: "What are YOU doing?"

Because here's what it is, We ARE the government.

🎧 In this conversation, we break down the mindset shifts we need, the opportunities in Uganda's budget, and why treating Uganda as a BRAND (not just a country) changes everything.

What's ONE thing you're doing in your own capacity—in your business, your community, your village—to move Uganda forward? Let's challenge each other.
