The alumni of the prestigious British government-funded Chevening scholarship have formed a national organisation to galvanise about 250 recipients in Uganda to give back to the community, lead and serve the country better.
The focus areas of the new umbrella group, named Chevening Alumni Association of Uganda, include promoting education, career growth, leadership and networking, according to Mr Emmanuel Mugunga, the Ministry of Energy undersecretary, who steered the ad hoc committee that set up the formal chapter.
