The Board of Directors of Women in Construction and Infrastructure (WICI) Uganda, led by Mrs. Kiara Binta Nkuranga, paid a courtesy visit to Uganda Electricity Generation Company Limited (UEGCL) to appreciate the Company’s sponsorship and support towards the successful Women in Construction and Infrastructure Symposium (WICIS) 2026, held on 27th March 2026.
The delegation was hosted by UEGCL’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Joyce Nakalema. The engagement provided an opportunity for both institutions to reflect on the outcomes of the symposium and explore opportunities for deeper collaboration to advance women’s participation and leadership across Uganda’s energy, construction, research and infrastructure sectors.
Discussions focused on strengthening women’s participation in leadership and decision-making, promoting diversity and inclusion, and addressing barriers that continue to limit women’s participation in traditionally male-dominated sectors.
The engagement also highlighted the importance of mentorship, professional development and networking in supporting women to build successful careers and progress into leadership positions. Both institutions shared experiences and explored best practices for creating more inclusive workplaces and promoting women’s advancement in the energy and infrastructure sectors.
The visit reaffirmed the shared commitment of UEGCL and WICI Uganda to creating opportunities for women to develop their careers, take up leadership roles and contribute meaningfully to Uganda’s socio-economic transformation.
UEGCL remains committed to building strategic partnerships that promote inclusion, empower talent and support initiatives that drive positive and transformative change across Uganda’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
