President Museveni, Speaker Anita Among, and Kabaka Mutebi to be inducted by Public Opinions in the 2024 Uganda Development Champions Journal
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi, and Parliamentary Speaker Anita Annet Among recognized by Public Opinions with the Responsible Investment Global Certification Award as Uganda Development Champions in appreciation of their contributions towards attainment of Uganda Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
President of the Republic of Uganda and Chairman of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Uganda, under Museveni’s leadership, has registered tremendous and steady progress in all sectors of the economy. The size of the economy has grown close to tenfold since 1986. The GDP per capita has quadrupled.Ugandans today live healthier and longer lives. They are better educated. Children no longer die of preventable diseases, and are attending school free of charge. Infrastructure has tremendously improved. The total tarmacked road network has increased five-fold. Electricity shortages are no more, instead the country is struggling to consume the surplus power generated. Tele-communication has improved, almost every adult has a phone.
Uganda has significantly contributed to regional peace, security and stability. For instance, Uganda supported the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa by hosting ANC fighters and training them for the liberation of South Africa against apartheid. Uganda also contributed to the restoration of peace in Rwanda, resettlement of refugees who had spread across East Africa and ending the genocide.
Today, Uganda is a host to about 1.5 million refugees because it is a safe country, unlike the days when her own people filled the refugee camps in the region. Uganda has been lauded internationally as a model for its refugee hosting policy. During his time as President, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has played a vital and positive role in ensuring peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Central African Republic.
President Museveni is a strong advocate of African unity and integration. He is among the African statesmen increasingly credited for championing African unity. Indeed, African diplomats fondly refer to him as “the African Bismarck”. He is driven by the urgent need to permanently cure Africa’s vulnerable position in the global arena of economic and political giants.

Uganda also contributed to the restoration of peace in Rwanda, resettlement of refugees who had spread across East Africa and ending the genocide.As one who dedicated his youthful years to Africa’s liberation struggles against oppressive regimes, Museveni is deeply concerned that Africa is still an easy prey for plunder and marginalisation, as long as the strides towards economic and political integration remain lethargic. This explains his passionate fight against the subsistence mindset of our communities, and championing prioritisation of infrastructural development, in addition to his efforts towards the pacification of conflict-ridden neighbours and tireless call for regional integration.
Here are the key achievements of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni:
- Economic growth: The size of the economy has grown close to tenfold since 1986, with GDP per capita quadrupling.
- Improved healthcare: Ugandans live healthier and longer lives, with children no longer dying of preventable diseases.

- Telecommunication improvements: Almost every adult owns a phone, with significant improvements in communication.
- Regional peace and security: Uganda has contributed to peace and stability in neighboring countries, including South Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- African unity and integration: President Museveni is a strong advocate for African unity, championing regional integration and economic development.
- Refugee hosting: Uganda has been lauded internationally as a model for its refugee hosting policy, with over 1.5 million refugees hosted in the country.
- Leadership awards: Museveni has received several accolades, including the Global Peace Award, Responsible Investment Global Certification Award, and recognition as one of the most transformative leaders in the world.
- Regional liberation: Uganda supported the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa in their fight against apartheid and contributed to the restoration of peace in Rwanda and other countries.
Museveni’s transformative leadership has earned him several accolades. New York University and World Bank experts have ranked him among the most transformative leaders in the world who have presided over their countries’ rapid economic growth. He was awarded the Global Peace Award from the Global Peace Foundation for his display of courage, exemplary democratic and global leadership. Public Opinions in 2019 and 2022 recognised H.E Yoweri Museveni with the Responsible Investment Global Certification Award as a Uganda Peace and Development Champion.
