Kiswahili Unites East Africa: Uganda Consulate to Host Swahili Corner.

Consul General Anne Katusiime is currently in Zanzibar, Tanzania, at the invitation of the East African Kiswahili Commission. 

Her visit focuses on highlighting the Commission’s achievements and discussing strategies to promote Kiswahili’s growth across the region.

A key proposal includes setting up a Swahili Corner at the Uganda Consulate, reinforcing Uganda’s commitment to regional integration through language diplomacy.

The Swahili Corner initiative aims to serve as a cultural and linguistic hub for Ugandans and East Africans living or travelling through Zanzibar.

 Katusiime’s visit also underscores Uganda’s interest in aligning with the EAC’s vision of Kiswahili as a unifying regional language. 

The move is part of broader efforts to encourage the language’s educational, administrative, and diplomatic use across all East African Community member states.
