Summary

Kampala MUN gathers high-school delegates in Uganda's capital for a multi-day Model UN conference. Hosted in Kampala and listed through MyMUN, the program offers an East African setting for committee work at the secondary-school level.

Why this edition matters in 2026

Model UN conferences anchored in East Africa remain comparatively rare on the global circuit, and Kampala MUN gives high-school delegates a chance to debate within the region rather than travel to the more saturated European or North American calendars. For students based in Uganda and neighboring countries, the conference lowers the logistical barrier to high-quality simulation experience. For delegates traveling from outside the region, a Kampala-hosted conference is an opportunity to encounter African policy perspectives at the source rather than through secondhand briefings. Committees set in this context tend to surface agenda items - migration, climate adaptation, regional security architecture - where African member states are central actors rather than peripheral voices. The high-school eligibility profile also matters. Pre-university delegates often build their first international networks at conferences like this, and a Kampala edition seeds those networks across a region whose diplomatic talent pipeline is still developing relative to its population.

How to prepare

Preparation should begin with the host context. Delegates assigned to African bloc countries will want to read closely on the African Union's relationship to UN mechanisms, while those representing extra-regional powers should study how their assigned country actually engages with East African policy questions rather than defaulting to generic position papers. Because the conference convenes at the high-school level, chairs typically reward delegates who demonstrate command of procedure alongside substantive research. Reviewing the UN's own Model UN guidance is a sensible baseline, particularly for first-time delegates who have not yet internalized the rhythm of moderated and unmoderated caucuses. Finally, treat the multi-day format as an endurance exercise. Strong opening speeches matter less than the ability to sustain coalition-building across successive sessions, redraft working papers under time pressure, and stay coherent in voting blocs by the closing day.
