Today in Buwenge, Jinja District, NUP launched its manifesto, whose theme is “A New Uganda Now.”

NUP’s leadership says this manifesto is not just a critique of failure; it is a
roadmap to reclaim our future. They further that they’re ready and committed to
delivering a Uganda that works for everyone, not just a privileged few.

Take a look at their “First Eleven” Policy Priorities (2026 and beyond):

1. Restore freedom, constitutionalism, and human
rights (including gender equity).

2. End corruption and wasteful government
expenditure.

3. Consolidate national unity, rebuild war-torn
communities, and eliminate sectarianism.

4. Guarantee equal access to quality public
services—clean water, healthcare, education,
energy, and public infrastructure.

5. Create 10 million new jobs by 2032, on account
of lowering the cost of doing business, as well as
leveraging tourism, manufacturing, sports, and
the creative economy.

6. Establish a public-school feeding program to enhance education outcomes, support a
heathy population, transform agriculture, and ensure food security.

7. Stop land grabbing and guarantee secure land
rights for all.

8. Empower regional and local governance
through real devolution.

9. Position the diaspora as a strategic asset,
and strengthen foreign policy for Uganda’s
development and global competitiveness.

10. Ensure sustainable management of natural
resources and climate resilience [including
Climate Change detection, adaptation and
mitigation].

11. Transform Uganda into a tech-driven economy,
through leveraging technology resources and
innovation.
