Earlier today, we (civil society - our Secretariat, Mr. Kwizera Chris, Dr. Alfred Jatho), members of academia as well as respective Government of Uganda bodies (Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Works and Transport, Office of the President, Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Health et cetera) convened at the Office of the Prime Minister. This was our third convening as the various stakeholders with a part to play in the implementation of the National Alcohol Control Policy (#NACPOfUganda) . We mapped out our next steps including areas of responsibility for each stakeholder, timelines, what can be implemented as soonest as possible among others. Amongst the key findings Professor Nazarius Mbona Tumwesigye from Makerere University School of Public Health shared in this meeting was this, "Uganda’s economy is currently estimated at roughly US$64 billion nominal Gross Domestic Product but could be losing 1-5% annually according to World Health Organization estimates for all countries with high per capita alcohol consumption. This is US$ 640,000,000 at minimum (1%) and US$ 3.2Billion at high side (5%) - WHO".
