The Chairman of the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) Central Governing Board, Dr Halid Kirunda, today held a strategic engagement with Didier Van Aert, Head of International Operations at the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders, who is visiting Uganda to assess progress in the implementation of the Humanitarian Protection (HP3) Project in Kyangwali Refugee Settlement. The meeting provided an opportunity for strategic reflection on project progress, implementation priorities and the broader humanitarian impact, while reinforcing the importance of governance oversight, strategic direction and accountability in ensuring that humanitarian programmes remain aligned with the Society's mandate, priorities and commitments. URCS deeply values its longstanding partnership with the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders, dating back to 2009. This enduring collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening humanitarian action, protecting dignity and improving the lives of vulnerable refugees and host communities in Uganda. #HumanitarianProtection #HP3Project @halidkirunda @RodeKruisVL

Life-saving skills should start early! Our Mbarara Branch, through the Red Cross Link at Uganda Martyrs Primary School, is equipping learners with practical first aid skills to respond to common emergencies. The learners are gaining hands-on knowledge in managing nosebleeds, supporting simple fractures using an arm sling, basic stretcher handling and safe casualty movement using hand-carrier techniques. By bringing first aid education into schools, we are nurturing a generation of confident, prepared and compassionate young people who can make a difference when emergencies occur. We are not just teaching first aid; we are preparing future lifesavers. #PreparingFutureLifesavers #FirstAidSavesLives @Educ_SportsUg

When droughts, floods or other crises strike, families can lose their homes, livelihoods and access to essential services. But acting early can help communities prepare, protect what matters and reduce the impact before disaster strikes. As the 2nd Eastern Africa Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action (#EADP2) kicks off in Mombasa, Kenya, the @IFRC joins regional governments, humanitarian partners, donors and experts to advance a shared ambition: making Anticipatory Action part of government systems so more communities can act before crises escalate. Over the next three days, partners will explore how to strengthen early action through locally led approaches, better coordination, evidence-based policies and sustainable financing. Because when we act ahead of disasters, communities have a better chance to protect lives, livelihoods and dignity. @IGAD_CPAC

Stronger, more financially resilient National Societies are better placed to keep supporting their communities, helping people cope with crises, recover from emergencies and prepare for the next disaster, long after media attention and emergency funding have moved on.
