A Strategic Partnership with the Ugandan Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation
Over the past year, the Response Innovation Lab Uganda has begun developing a partnership with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in Uganda, with an MoU, signed in March 2021 formalizing the partnership. The partnership's nature is to promote problem-solving socially-oriented innovation in the humanitarian and development sectors and strengthen the innovation ecosystem in Uganda. We will specifically seek to conduct innovators' capacity building, joint resource mobilization, organization events in innovation-related matters, collaboration in evidence-generation, dissemination, advocacy, and support of the local innovation ecosystem with a focus on humanitarian and resilience-building innovation-clusters. The parties will be working on innovative solutions to some of the challenges in Disaster Preparedness and Refugees management, Gender, Labor, and Social Development related issues.
