The First Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda and Minister for East African Community Affairs, Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, has won an international award in Morocco for her efforts to empower women in Uganda, Africa, and the world.
“Proud recipient of the Africa Good Governance award for my work in women’s emancipation and parliamentary stewardship, transparency, integrity, and accountability,” Kadaga, also the Woman Member of Parliament for Kamuli district, shared the good news on X.
Kadaga said she was ‘humbled by the recognition accorded to me as recipient of the Africa award for Good Governance from the Heritage Times of London.’ She dedicated the award to her electorate in Kamuli, FIDA Uganda, and to members of parliament in the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th parliaments of Uganda.
Others on Kadaga’s dedication list are the CWP (Africa) and (International) and IPU, ‘where we broke barriers in Women’s Representation in decision making.’
The award ceremony was held at the Savoy Hotel, Marrakesh, Morocco, on April 12, 2025. The AfriHeritage Awards celebrated visionary leaders whose commitment to people-centered governance continues to inspire.
