A word from the president

Welcome to the Uganda Association of Translators and Interpreters (UATI). As President, I am honored to lead an organization dedicated to advancing the professional standards, visibility, and impact of translation and interpreting in Uganda.

Our association brings together a vibrant community of language professionals whose work bridges cultures, supports access to information, and fosters national development. Language is at the heart of effective communication and understanding, and our members play a critical role in connecting people across linguistic and cultural divides.

We are committed to promoting excellence, ethical practice, and capacity building in our field. UATI provides training, networking, and advocacy opportunities for translators and interpreters at all stages of their careers. We also work closely with partners in government, academia, and the private sector to raise awareness of the value of our profession and to support language access for all Ugandans.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our activities, membership benefits, and upcoming events. Whether you are a seasoned professional, a newcomer to the field, or an organization seeking language services, UATI is here to support you.

Thank you for your interest and commitment to the language profession.
