A Movement That Connects Generations
Cool Jjajja is more than a campaign — it’s a bridge between the energy of the youth and the wisdom of our elders. We’re building a movement that reminds every generation that their voice matters, and their vote shapes the future.
What We Have Achieved This Far
The heartbeat of our movement is hope, unity, and opportunity. Here’s what drives us, keeps driving us — and why we believe in a future where every Ugandan can thrive.
Economy
NRM revived Uganda’s collapsed economy by attracting investors, building 4,900 factories, improving infrastructure, and raising revenue from UGX 5 billion in 1986 to 19.5 trillion by 2019/20.

Peace and Security
Under Museveni’s leadership since 1986, Uganda ended decades of conflict, defeated rebel groups, built a professional army, and became a peaceful, stable nation — the foundation for growth and opportunity.

Infrastructure

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
The NRM government has significantly expanded access to clean water in Uganda, raising coverage from 10% (rural, 1986) to 70% (rural) and 80% (urban) today. This includes over 48,000 villages with safe water sources and thousands of new piped water networks and connections nationwide.

International & Regional Cooperation
The NRM government commited to deeper integration of the East African Community (EAC) and strengthening regional bodies like COMESA, IGAD, and SADC for security and development. They also uphold the UN Charter, contribute to AU peacekeeping, and implement policies to achieve an industrialized, integrated, and self-sustaining Uganda.
