At Foundation Leads Limited, we believe that partnerships drive progress. As we embark on the exciting journey of August, we are proud to share the outcomes of a strategic meeting aimed at boosting employability and enhancing social protection. The meeting, chaired by our CEO Akeca Pius and Managing Director Lamex Omara Apitta, brought together some of the most influential stakeholders in the industry, including Mr. Evans Lwanga, the ILO Program Manager, and Dr. David Ogong, the Chairman of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
Building Bridges for the Future
The core objective of this meeting was to explore innovative solutions to pressing challenges in employability and social protection. With the world of work constantly evolving, it is essential to stay ahead of the curve by continuously developing new strategies that meet the needs of today’s workforce while also preparing for the future. This meeting provided the perfect platform for collaboration and idea generation.
Shaping Skills for Tomorrow
One of the central themes of the discussion was building skills. We understand that skills are the foundation upon which any successful career is built. As industries continue to grow and diversify, there is an ever-increasing need for a skilled workforce that is adaptable and ready to take on new challenges. Our partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and NSSF aims to address this gap by providing opportunities for skill development and training.
Through tailored programs and initiatives, we are working to equip individuals with the necessary tools to thrive in an ever-changing job market. Whether it’s through technical training, leadership development, or soft skills enhancement, we are committed to creating an environment where people can hone their talents and advance their careers.
Creating Opportunities and Strengthening Social Protection
The second key focus of the meeting was improving social protection. Access to adequate social security and safety nets is vital for ensuring that individuals and families can live with dignity and security. In today’s fast-paced world, the need for robust social protection systems is more important than ever.
The collaboration with NSSF and the ILO will enable us to work together on programs that strengthen social protection systems, ensuring that they are inclusive and responsive to the needs of the most vulnerable populations. This is particularly crucial in providing a safety net for workers who are transitioning between jobs or are impacted by unforeseen circumstances.
A Vision for a Collaborative Future
At Foundation Leads Limited, we firmly believe that collaboration is the key to achieving sustainable progress. By partnering with the ILO, NSSF, and other key stakeholders, we are creating a network of support that will enable us to tackle the challenges of today while preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow. This meeting marks the beginning of what we hope will be a series of ongoing conversations aimed at shaping the future of employability and social protection in Uganda and beyond.
Moving Forward Together
As we reflect on the fruitful discussions from this strategic meeting, we are energized and optimistic about the possibilities that lie ahead. The partnerships we are cultivating today are setting the stage for a brighter and more inclusive future, where skills are nurtured, opportunities are abundant, and social protection is within reach for all.
At Foundation Leads Limited, we are committed to driving change, and with the support of our partners, we are confident that together we can make a lasting impact on society.
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress as we continue to collaborate and innovate for a better tomorrow.
