Signing of MOU on cooperation in the field of ICT between the two countries

The Uganda government together with the republic of South Korea have launched the digital contents production and management control center that will be used to produce local TV and radio works with the center aimed at promoting local content.

Speaking at the launch of the center at the ministry of ICT offices in Kampala  the ICT minister Eng. John Nasasira said that Uganda has been challenged by production work made in the country which most of the time has not been matching the desired standard and national heritage, saying this has been representing divergent ideologies of the Uganda. He said that with the newly launched facility, the country will start producing content that truly reflects the ideologies of the country as it strives to attain middle income status. He said that the digital broadcasting will require effort by all stakeholders to increase the pace of generating local digital content especially in local languages to share it with the rest of the world.

Nasasira noted that at the moment Uganda is grappling with the challenge of relying a lot on foreign production of digital content including advertisements hence causing a problem of ideological disorientation, propaganda and some of undesirable behavior which affects cultural values, business, investment and tourism and foreign policy interests.

On his part the state minister for science and technology Sande Stephen Tikodri welcomed the Korean mentorship in the area of digital content production as Uganda is improving in science innovation.

How to protect our families from inheriting habits which will inevitably come along with genetic chronic illness?

Regular nutrient-rich breakfast, eat sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables [two cups of each].

Encourage small portions of food at a time. However one can have another helping if not satisfied. Drink plenty of water daily [at least three litters a day].

Encourage physical activity during free time instead of TV. Use different cooking methods, including steaming, poaching and grilling instead of frying all the foods. Explain your choices i.e let your children know the value of the food they are eating so they don’t just eat anything.
