βWe are not just talking about healthy dietsβwe are demonstrating them. This Expo is about giving people real, practical experience: learning how to prepare nutritious meals, accessing healthy food options, and connecting directly with producers.
Our focus is exposure, experience, and accessβbecause that is what drives lasting change.
This is also a celebration of Ugandaβs food system, led by SMEs who are innovating across the value chain and shaping a more nutrition-focused future.β - @Damali_Ssali, Country Director @Uganda_Gain at #EbyendiisaExpo at Uma Multipurpose Hall, Lugogo.

Uganda produces plenty of food, but many are still not eating right. This is why a major national Expo dubbed "Ebyendiisa" organized by @Uganda_Gain is stepping in to change how Ugandans think about food, nutrition, and health.
The Expo, organizers say, will feature live cooking demonstrations, food tastings, exhibitions, and networking opportunities aimed at linking farmers, food processors, and consumers.

π€ In her speech, Damali Ssali, Country Director at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) Uganda, shared important reflections on womenβs participation in digital finance.
She noted that while digital financial services continue to expand, many women entrepreneurs still hesitate to use digital credit, often due to low confidence and limited trust in digital financial systems.
Damali Ssali emphasized that responsible innovation must be central to building digital finance that truly works for women.
π¬ βGender-responsive product design and trust must be central to how we build digital financial solutions.β
She also highlighted the need to strengthen womenβs representation across the digital finance ecosystem, particularly in leadership and decision-making roles.
π¬ βWhen women are involved in designing systems, the solutions tend to be more inclusive and practical for real users.β
She further emphasized the importance of simpler, intuitive interfaces and financial products that reflect the everyday realities of women entrepreneurs.

π€ In her opening remarks, Leah Ndikuwera, Digital Economy Lead at Outbox Uganda, appreciated @FitspaUG and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (@UNCDF) for marking International Womenβs Day through the FinWise & FinTalks.
She emphasized that responsible digital finance must be intentional in how it serves women. π¬ βResponsible digital finance isnβt an optional checklist. If we want to create digital finance that works for women, we must design for income volatility in our ecosystem, ensure transparency, interrogate alternative data, and treat consumer protection as critical market infrastructure.β
Leah Ndikuwera also highlighted the 10X Program, which is improving access and opportunities for women in digital finance. The program is implemented by @OutboxUganda in partnership with United Nations Capital Development Fund (@UNCDF), @refactory_acad, and @wituganda, with support from the @MastercardFdn.
She encouraged participants to carry the conversation beyond the event and into their organizations: π¬ βJust having a Womenβs Day isnβt enough. When you return to your workplaces, donβt be afraid to speak up. Share your honest views in clear, plain language.β
β¨ A powerful reminder that inclusive digital finance requires intentional design, responsible innovation, and voices willing to challenge the status quo.
