Greetings everyone. We take the opportunity to introduce Mr. John Bosco Kanuge who is
joining our team of technical advisors. Mr. John Bosco Kanuge is a senior art lecturer at College
of Engineering Design Art and Technology ( CEDAT), Makerere University. He has previously
worked in different capacities on different programs of Uganda Community Art Skills
Development and Recycling (UCASDR). As such, he has provided incredible wisdom and
expertise on critical issues which has spearheaded the growth and vibrancy of the organization.
Mr. Kanuge immediately fills the void left behind by Mr. Nsereko who we continue to
acknowledge as one of the most compete professionals we had in this field. We believe the
new technical advisor will perform to their best and therefore contribute to the realization of
the organization's objectives. Nonetheless, such performance should be a collaborative
undertaking as is the norm with all our teams in different sectors. We appreciate Mr. Kanuge,
for accepting this new role and we commit ourselves to benefit from his counsel and expertise
to continue making livelihoods at the grass root level sustainable through skills development.

Greetings everyone. Uganda Community Arts Skills Development and Recycling Organization is
an entity established to promote skills development at the grassroot level voluntarily through working with
local communities. In the last couple of years, UCASDR has worked with hundreds of women
and youth in communities of Bwaise, Mulago, Nansaana- Katooke Kalerwe ,jinja and other parts of the country to improve
livelihoods through skills development. Today, many of these are not only self employed with
skills in different technical disciplines, but are economically empowered and can sustain their
social- economic wellbeing. We congratulate our team of technical advisors for their enduring
commitment to provide the necessary support- both tangible and intangible- which has
enabled us to realize the success we can speak about today.
In order to sustain such achievements and improve on what is already available, UCASDR is
restructuring its team of technical advisors. Mr. Raymond Nsereko, one of the senior technical
advisors, has been moved to another department where his experience and counsel are
urgently needed. We definitely appreciate the vacuum he is leaving behind, but on the other
hand, his transfer to another office will greatly benefit the organization in both the short and
long run. Soon, an equally competent expert will be identified for the position to enable the
smooth running of all UCASDR activities. In the meantime, UCASDR continues to pledge it’s
commitment to fulfill its one of many objectives of improving livelihoods in the grassroot
communities through skills development.
We also take the opportunity to thank all the respective partners and funders of UCASDR.
Thank you for your selfless partnership and financial support.

As the Director of Uganda community art skill Development and recycling (
UCASDR) it was a great pleasure meeting Professor Erik Blome an American sculptor his is in Kampala for Fulbright scholar at Makerere University school of industrial and fine Art, Cedat-Makerere University.
I enjoyed having a tour with him in Bwaise industrial area, which is a hub of wood working, and Shauri Yako Market in down-town Kampala city.
It was a great experience of the day and I look forward to partner with him in local projects in the community.
