At #WPC we insist on meaningful participation. 28% is where the foundation of this conversation starts.

📍Nairobi 📆3-4 June 2026 Following the invitation extended to @FPCIRGL by the @UN_Women and @un_greatlakes office of the Special Envoy, I had an opportunity to deliver initiative taken by the forum on key Peace and Security initiave as an attempt to promote peace, security and development in our region. I argued that, upcoming Women Parliamentary Conference in Tanzania is coming as a structural contribution to the implementation of UNSCR 1325 and the @_ICGLR_ RAP on WPS. The #WPC will serve as a benchmark to which legislative power meets lived experience-a platform that will see the aspirations of Women Advirory Body in GLR are channeled into policy, law and regional commitment.

Women’s voices, youth perspectives, and community realities are essential to peace. The High‑Level WPS meeting in Nairobi brought partners together to make that a priority. #WPS #PeaceBuilding #GreatLakesRegion Photo credits : @unwomenafrica

@JoyceMsuya @UNOCHA Hongera sana Dada Joyce. You made all of us proud. All the best in your future endeavours.

Mahojiano baina ya Shirika la Utangazaji Tanzania (TBC) na Jumuiya ya Afya ya Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki, Kati na Kusini (East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC). Kwanza, tunapenda kuwahakikishia wananchi wa ukanda wetu kwamba ECSA Health Community (ECSA-HC), kwa kushirikiana na Wizara za Afya za nchi wanachama, World Health Organization, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention pamoja na wadau wengine wa afya, tunaendelea kuchukua hatua za haraka na madhubuti katika kuimarisha utayari na mwitikio dhidi ya mlipuko wa ugonjwa wa Ebola. Kwa sasa, tumepeleka wataalamu kusaidia nchi zilizoathirika, tunaimarisha mifumo ya ufuatiliaji wa magonjwa mipakani, kuongeza uwezo wa maabara, kutoa mafunzo kwa wahudumu wa afya kuhusu utambuzi wa mapema na udhibiti wa maambukizi, pamoja na kuhakikisha vifaa tiba na vifaa kinga vinapatikana kwa wakati. Aidha, tunaendelea kuratibu utoaji wa taarifa sahihi kwa umma ili wananchi waweze kuchukua tahadhari stahiki mapema. Lengo letu ni kuhakikisha nchi zote wanachama zinakuwa tayari kugundua, kudhibiti na kuzuia kusambaa kwa ugonjwa huu kwa haraka na ufanisi. Tamko lililotolewa na Mwenyekiti wa Mawaziri wa Afya wa nchi wanachama wa ECSA, Mhe. Mduduzi Matsebula, linaonesha mshikamano mkubwa wa kikanda katika kukabiliana na mlipuko huu wa Ebola. Tamko hilo pia linaashiria kuunga mkono juhudi zinazofanywa na nchi zilizoathirika, hususan Uganda na Democratic Republic of the Congo, katika kudhibiti maambukizi. Kwa Wizara za Afya za nchi wanachama, tamko hili linaongeza msisitizo wa kuendelea kutoa elimu kwa wananchi kuhusu dalili za Ebola, umuhimu wa kuripoti mapema wagonjwa wenye dalili, kuzingatia usafi binafsi na wa mazingira, pamoja na kuepuka kugusana na majimaji ya mwili ya mtu mwenye maambukizi. Ushirikiano wa kikanda ni muhimu sana kwa sababu magonjwa ya mlipuko hayazingatii mipaka ya nchi. Ndiyo maana ECSA-HC inaendelea kufanya mafunzo ya pamoja ya utayari na mwitikio wa Ebola katika maeneo ya mipakani ikiwemo mpaka wa Mtukula Border kati ya Tanzania na Uganda, Kabanga Border kati ya Tanzania na Burundi, pamoja na mipaka ya Kenya na Uganda katika eneo la Busia, na baadaye mpaka kati ya Zambia na DRC. Kwa kifupi, Ebola ni ugonjwa hatari unaosababishwa na virusi vya aina mbalimbali, ikiwemo Ebola, Sudan na Bundibugyo. Ugonjwa huu huenea kupitia kugusana moja kwa moja na damu, majimaji au viungo vya mwili wa mtu aliyeambukizwa au aliyefariki kutokana na ugonjwa huo. Pia unaweza kuenea kupitia kugusana au kula nyama ya wanyamapori walioambukizwa kama vile popo na nyani, au kula mizoga ya wanyamapori. Dalili zake ni pamoja na homa kali, uchovu mkubwa, maumivu ya mwili, kutapika, kuharisha, na wakati mwingine kutokwa damu kwenye fizi, puani au kwenye ngozi. Ugonjwa huu unaweza kudhibitiwa iwapo utagunduliwa mapema na hatua za kinga pamoja na tiba saidizi kuchukuliwa haraka.

Honoured to meet with the Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania, @mwigulunchemba1 , in Brazzaville-Rep of Congo today for a constructive courtesy call and strategic engagement. We discussed the continued role of regional parliamentary diplomacy and the importance of multi-sectoral collaboration in advancing peace, development, and women’s leadership across the Great Lakes Region. I also had the opportunity to brief the Prime Minister on the upcoming @FPCIRGL Women’s Platform Conference scheduled for November 2026 in Tanzania, a strategic platform expected to convene Women parliamentarians, speakers, civil society, and regional stakeholders to strengthen cooperation and amplify Africa’s soft power and inclusive leadership agenda. Grateful for the warm reception, encouragement, and continued support from the Government of Tanzania.
