The Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) is set to launch a national campaign on Responsible Gaming in partnership with the National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board (NLGRB).
The campaign will kick off with a stakeholder engagement on October 16, 2024, focusing on topics related to gaming, sports, entertainment, and health.
This collaboration aims to promote safer gaming practices and address harmful gambling habits within the community. The initiative will bring together various stakeholders, including government officials, administrators, and journalists, to discuss critical issues and explore potential partnerships and regulatory frameworks.
Jackline Kamakune, Senior Communications Officer at NLGRB, highlighted the importance of USPA’s influence in the sports industry and the positive impact of this partnership on sports development and responsible gaming.
In addition to the campaign, USPA President Moses Alsayed Lubega announced that the association’s Elective Extra Ordinary Assembly (AGM) will be held on November 30, 2024. The vetting committee responsible for overseeing the election process has been reinstated, with Stephen Ouma as chairman.
Lubega reassured members that USPA is on a positive trajectory, with numerous activities planned for the near future. He highlighted the return of the PlasconUSPA Media Awards and the Sports Personality of the Month, as well as the upcoming annual gala.
Furthermore, Lubega announced that USPA has secured 10 scholarships for members, including five postgraduate studies, through Clarke International University. Negotiations are also underway with secondary schools to provide educational opportunities for members’ children.
