Poverty is a multifaceted issue encompassing more than just financial scarcity, influenced by social, economic, political, and environmental factors. This creates a self-perpetuating cycle that impacts various aspects of life. In order to effectively combat poverty, understanding its root causes is essential. Inequality stands out as a primary contributor, concentrating wealth among a few and resulting in unequal access to resources and opportunities.

In the 1990s, the Batwa, a community that had long inhabited the equatorial forests were compelled by government to vacate their ancestral homes. This directive aimed to protect biodiversity and promote tourism, leading to the establishment of Mgahinga National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and Echuya Forest Reserve. The Batwa’s historical presence was concentrated in South-Western Uganda in the districts of Bundibugyo, Kabale, Kisoro and Rukungiri.
In 2008, the Government of Uganda took a significant step by mandating the inclusion of computer science in the curriculum in secondary schools. This decision aimed to foster the widespread adoption of information communication technologies (ICT) and equip students with essential digital skills.
Uganda grapples with significant challenges in delivering quality and accessible basic education

pregnancies.
The Executive Director of Uganda National NGO Forum, Dr. Moses Isooba, has commended Uganda Rural Development and Training (URDT) for its unique approach to development as an NGO.
