Este estilo de liderazgo no se basaba en buscar el camino f\u00e1cil, sino en desafiar a su equipo a alcanzar su m\u00e1ximo potencial. Sab\u00eda que el \u00e9xito no se lograba solo con decisiones r\u00e1pidas, sino con una visi\u00f3n clara, comunicaci\u00f3n abierta y compromiso constante con el crecimiento personal y profesional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Al trabajar con \u00e9l, pude darme cuenta de que la comunicaci\u00f3n clara, la adaptabilidad, la apreciaci\u00f3n y el compromiso con el crecimiento personal son fundamentales para el \u00e9xito como l\u00edder,”<\/em> a\u00f1adi\u00f3 Jamson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de su capacidad para gestionar proyectos y coordinar equipos, su mayor legado es la forma en que inspiraba a los dem\u00e1s, algo que no es f\u00e1cil de lograr y mucho menos de mantener en el tiempo. Jamson lo recuerda como un l\u00edder “empoderador, carism\u00e1tico y orientado a soluciones.”<\/em> Da orgullo, desde este lado del mundo, haber podido trabajar con alguien que no solo dirig\u00eda, sino que tambi\u00e9n motivaba y acompa\u00f1aba a quienes lo rodeaban, asegur\u00e1ndose de que cada miembro del equipo se sintiera valorado y motivado para dar lo mejor de s\u00ed mismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuwabasa Onesmus cre\u00eda en el poder transformador de los l\u00edderes locales y dedic\u00f3 gran parte de su tiempo a fortalecer sus capacidades y a darles las herramientas necesarias para impulsar el desarrollo en sus propios territorios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despu\u00e9s de su participaci\u00f3n en el Programa de Innovadores Locales (PIL) 2023, Nuwabasa comparti\u00f3 una reflexi\u00f3n que resume su enfoque como l\u00edder: “Crecimos como l\u00edderes en entender mejor a la comunidad, incluir al sector privado. Nos ayud\u00f3 a mejorar nuestra manera de entender el problema. No desde nuestro punto de vista, sino desde la mirada de la comunidad. Dise\u00f1ar soluciones desde la mirada del territorio.”<\/em> Estas palabras reflejan su compromiso de poner en el centro de cada proyecto la voz de la comunidad, dise\u00f1ando soluciones que nacen desde el territorio y no desde una perspectiva externa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Su facilitadora del Programa de Innovadores Locales, Cindy Murugi, tambi\u00e9n comparti\u00f3 su experiencia trabajando con \u00e9l: “Tuve el honor de facilitar a este equipo y disfrut\u00e9 trabajar con \u00e9l. Su compromiso inspir\u00f3 a muchos y fue una base s\u00f3lida para el equipo que ayud\u00f3 a crecer en su capacidad. Durante su liderazgo, uno de los miembros de su equipo se inspir\u00f3 a unirse a LIP 2024 no solo como miembro del equipo, sino como l\u00edder social, liderando a un equipo de siete miembros comprometidos y una s\u00f3lida red de cambio.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoy, su ausencia deja un vac\u00edo enorme, pero tambi\u00e9n una profunda gratitud por todo lo que nos ense\u00f1\u00f3. Su legado seguir\u00e1 vivo en cada proyecto que llevemos adelante desde PIL, en cada decisi\u00f3n que tomemos con los mismos principios que \u00e9l defendi\u00f3: integridad, transparencia y compromiso con las personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Este es un homenaje a alguien que no solo fue un l\u00edder excepcional, sino tambi\u00e9n una persona que se preocupaba profundamente por el bienestar de quienes lo rodeaban. Nos da la certeza absoluta de que un l\u00edder va m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de tomar decisiones: se trata de acompa\u00f1ar, de inspirar y de construir un futuro mejor, junto con los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ENG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuwabasa Onesmus: The Legacy of a Leader Who Inspired with Integrity and Commitment<\/strong> In the Local Innovators Program of the Local Innovation Network (RIL), we were fortunate to have a leader who not only made a difference in the projects he led but also left an indelible mark on everyone who worked with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was with great sadness that we received the news on Saturday morning in our community group of the passing of Nuwabasa Onesmus, founder of Kamwenge, Uganda. Although he is no longer with us, the journey we shared remains in our hearts, and his commitment to the team will surely continue to be a source of inspiration for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the very first day he joined the program, he earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues. His approach was always clear: to do what was right, even when it meant making tough decisions. Ahimbisibwe Jamson, a member of his team in PIL, described him as “someone who was always honest, transparent, and willing to do the right thing, even if it meant making difficult decisions. He would challenge us with complex questions, even when we didn\u2019t like the answers, but he always aligned us with our values and genuinely cared about the well-being of the team.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n This leadership style was not about taking the easy route but about challenging his team to reach their full potential. He understood that success wasn’t achieved through quick decisions but through a clear vision, open communication, and a constant commitment to personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Working with him made me realize that clear communication, adaptability, appreciation, and a commitment to personal growth are fundamental to success as a leader,”<\/em> Jamson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond his ability to manage projects and coordinate teams, his greatest legacy is the way he inspired others\u2014something that is not easy to achieve and even harder to sustain over time. Jamson remembers him as an “empowering, charismatic, and solutions-oriented leader.”<\/em> From this side of the world, it is a point of pride to have worked with someone who not only led but also motivated and supported those around him, ensuring that every team member felt valued and driven to give their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuwabasa Onesmus believed in the transformative power of local leaders, dedicating much of his time to strengthening their capacities and providing them with the tools needed to drive development in their own communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After participating in the 2023 Local Innovators Program (PIL), Nuwabasa shared a reflection that encapsulates his leadership approach: “We grew as leaders by better understanding the community and involving the private sector. It helped us improve how we understood the problem\u2014not from our perspective, but from the community\u2019s viewpoint. Designing solutions from the perspective of the territory.”<\/em> These words reflect his commitment to centering the voice of the community in every project, designing solutions that emerged from within the community rather than from an external perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His facilitator in the Local Innovators Program, Cindy Murugi, also shared her experience working with him: “I had the honor of facilitating this team and truly enjoyed working with him. His commitment inspired many and was a solid foundation for the team, helping them grow in their capacity. During his leadership, one of his team members was inspired to join LIP 2024 not just as a team member but as a social leader, heading a team of seven committed members and building a strong network for change.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, his absence leaves a vast void, but also a deep sense of gratitude for all he taught us. His legacy will live on in every project we undertake at PIL, in every decision we make guided by the same principles he championed: integrity, transparency, and a commitment to people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a tribute to someone who was not only an exceptional leader but also a person who cared deeply about the well-being of those around him. He reminds us that leadership goes beyond making decisions; it is about supporting others, inspiring them, and building a better future together.
