Maturity does not necessarily come with age, but with experience. As is the case with sentient beings, organizations have a lifecycle in 04 which they themselves experience various stages of learning, developing, adapting, and striving towards being better. With maturity comes NOZZOM NEWSLETTER ISSUE #29 responsibility: the responsibility to look inwards, at the way business is done and how it can develop itself to improve; and outwards, at how Agility in ENAL the organization can support and further contribute to the development of the society in which it finds itself. Chairman Recognizing where we are currently at, Giza Systems’ goal is to self-develop, learn from our experiences, and mature as a whole, with reference Shehab ElNawawi to our business and our community alike. We are entering a ‘regeneration’ phase that surpasses adapting to our surroundings. Quintessentially, it is about striving to do better and be better.

The current UN Development Assistance Framework for Uganda (UNDAF, 2016-2020) has ended on 31st December 2020. The United Nations Country Team in Uganda in partnership with Government and non-state stakeholders through the National Task Team have developed the new United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for Uganda (2021-2025) launched on 9th September 2020 by the President of Uganda and RC/UNCT. The UNSDCF is supported by the Joint Statement of Accountability signed by the Prime Minister, National Planning Authority Chair, UN Resident Coordinator and 29 UN entities on 2nd September 2020. With SDGs at its core, the Cooperation Framework is closely aligned to the National Development Plan III and Uganda’s National Vision 2040 and will be implemented by 29 UN entities through three Strategic Priorities: 1) Transformative and Inclusive Governance; 2) Shared Prosperity in a Healthy Environment; and 3) Human Well-being and Resilience.
