Inside the mess in Uganda’s diplomatic missions

The five-day introspection meeting of Uganda’s ambassadors abroad kicks off today at the Civil Service College in Jinja amid a turn of bad optics that have put the once coveted Foreign Service on the spot.

The meeting under the theme ‘Strengthening Governance and Performance of the Foreign Service for National Development’ is aimed to, among others, facilitate peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, appraise the ambassadors on government priorities and policies, and agreeing on the effective and efficient approaches for promotion of economic and commercial diplomacy.
