The session was officially opened on December 17, 2025 by Chief Secretary and Ambassador Dr. Moses Kusiluka at the Johari Rotana Hotel.
It brings together government communication leaders and information officers to align messaging, share experience and strengthen a unified approach to public information management.

Participants are reviewing existing practices and exploring ways to modernize communication systems to match the changing media landscape.
The meeting has been organized by the Directorate of Presidential Communications at State House in partnership with the Information Services Department (Maelezo).
Outcomes from the discussions are expected to guide future improvements in how government institutions plan, manage and disseminate official information.
The forum signals the government’s commitment to building a more coherent, professional and accountable public communication system that supports effective leadership and national development.
