And today it was my turn to leave the Embassy for a field visit with Sweden in Uganda colleagues to mark #WomensDay2024 . Thank you The Institute for Social Transformation & UN Women Uganda for arranging the meeting with a group of very empowered women vendors at Nakawa Market.
It is all about women this month! Today, a team from Sweden in Uganda visited women in Katwe who are participating in the 🇸🇪 funded women empowerment initiative by UNFPA Uganda working with aidsinfocentreuganda. Their stories confirm that investing in women is building a better future for all!

takes the stage to talk about the EU’s efforts and collaboration with Uganda on sustainable mining. Sweden is Europe’s leading mining nation and accounts for 90% of the EU’s iron ore and a substantial part of other minerals.
There is a growing realization that a green and sustainable future will need raw materials from the mining sector.
As the EU, we wish to support Ugandas mining sector in their work with value chain creation, innovation, infrastructure & skilling - Amb. Maria Håkansson
