Africa Public Service Day (APSD) at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on Friday 21st June 2024

Africa Public Service Day (APSD) is a strategic event on the African Union calendar. It is a special day for Public Servants and Public Service Organizations which is celebrated across the African continent by African Union Member States on 23rd June of every year and continentally as a biennial event.

The Government of Uganda approved the ratification of the Africa Charter of Values and Principles of Public Service and Administration under Cabinet Minute 113 (CT 2013). Subsequently, Government ratified the African Charter on 16 April 2014, and is the basis for celebrating the Africa Public Service Day annually.

This year, APSD will be commemorated at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on 27th June 2024 as 23rd June 2024 will fall on a Sunday.

The celebrations are planned to start a week before the D-day from 14th June 2024 with a sports gala, where MDAs shall compete in football, netball, volleyball, chess and fun games at Makerere University Grounds.

It is against this background that the Ministry joins the continent in the commemoration of APSD and therefore, requests that the funds below be approved to facilitate this activity.
