About

 

Hey there! I’m Josh, the creator and writer behind Wajy News, your go-to spot for straightforward, no-nonsense updates on sports and politics.

I launched this blog because I believe staying informed shouldn’t feel like homework. Whether it’s breaking down the latest game stats, unpacking policy debates, or connecting the dots between sports culture and political shifts, I’m here to keep you in the loop—without the jargon or bias.

A bit about me: When I’m not glued to ESPN or political podcasts, you’ll find me:

·         ⚽ Coaching my nephew’s soccer team,

·         📚 Reading biographies of world leaders (or sports legends!),

·         ☕ Arguing with friends over coffee about "the greatest of all time."

I’m passionate about fair play—on the field and in policy—and I aim to spark conversations that matter. This blog is for anyone who wants to stay informed, think critically, and maybe even laugh a little while navigating today’s fast-paced news cycle.

Let’s connect! Have a story tip, debate topic, or just want to chat?

After USAID’s Exit: Uganda’s Health Sector at a Crossroads

Image
  Introduction In 2023, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced the suspension of  $15 million  in annual health funding to Uganda, followed by a broader withdrawal of aid in 2024. This decision, rooted in geopolitical and ethical tensions, has left a gaping hole in the country’s health sector. For decades, USAID was a cornerstone of Uganda’s public health system, funding HIV/AIDS programs, maternal care, and malaria prevention.

10 Reasons Why International NGOs Struggle to Deliver Impact in Uganda

  International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) play a significant role in Uganda’s development landscape, channeling billions of dollars into healthcare, education, poverty alleviation, and humanitarian aid.

From cultural disconnects to systemic challenges, here are 10 reasons why INGOs frequently fall short of their goals in Uganda. 1.

For example, agricultural projects promoting cash crops might ignore local dietary preferences or land tenure systems, leading to resistance or unsustainable outcomes. 2. Bureaucratic Inefficiencies and High Overheads INGOs often allocate large portions of funding to administrative costs, salaries for expatriate staff, and logistical overheads. A 2023 rep...

Image
  Corruption has long been a persistent and pervasive issue within development projects globally, but its impact is particularly pronounced in regions where resources are already scarce and governance structures may be fragile. In the context of USAID-funded projects in Africa, corruption poses not only a financial threat but also undermines the agency's core mission of fostering sustainable development and improving the lives of millions across the continent. While the vast majority of USAID staff and partners remain committed to ethical practices, a small yet impactful minority have engaged in corrupt activities that divert funds intended for critical programs. This blog examines the multifaceted nature of corruption within USAID-funded projects in Africa, exploring its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. The Scope of the Problem: Types of Corruption in USAID Projects Corruption manifests in various forms, each with its own mechanisms and implications. Within USAID-...
