ports and creative arts provide an opportunity to develop and nurture talent that will create immense opportunities for young people and the economy. However, there is no clear strategy to tap and grow this talent and commercialise it. The forum will support both government and private sector iniatiaves to promote sports and creative arts.

The forum will lobby for increased funding to estahlish regional stadia and sports facilities across the country. Additionally, the forum will support the enactment of the National Sports Bill. The proposed bill intends to consolidate and modernise the law relating to the incorporation and registration of national sports organisations and community sports clubs as well as provide for the management, promotion, development and regulation of professional, amateur and recreational sports in Uganda.

It further purposes to streamline the recreation, registration and management of national sports organisations and community sports clubs and to codify the obligations of the state under international sports governing statutes.
