ABOUT ME – Gyaviira Luwaga
I am defined by a fervent passion for societal transformation and strategic communications. Simply put — I am passionate about real change. From adorning impactful storytelling, innovative problem-solving, to establishing meaningful partnerships, across Europe, ASEAN to Sub-Saharan Africa. Using plans, research, teamwork, analysis, and culturally mediated approaches, I manage campaigns, media, events, craft socially changing policies and transform societies.
With a strong academic foundation and specialized training, I have developed expertise in strategic communications and leadership in complex environments. I have an advanced degree in Business Administration, Graphic Design Visual Communication, alongside a degree in Industrial Fine Arts from prestigious institutions including the University Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the University for the Creative Arts UK, and Makerere University Kampala. Additionally, my training with organizations such as the United Nations and Rotary International has enhanced my expertise in public relations, program communication support, grant writing, mobilisation, data analysis, and research, equipping me with a comprehensive skill set to drive impactful communication strategies and informed decision-making.
This interdisciplinary education and skill set have propelled me to collaborate with esteemed organizations such as the EU, WHO Regional Office Europe, UNDP, German Development Cooperation, Save the Children, International Rescue Committee, Plan International, Solidaridad, Rotary International, United Nations Volunteers, and numerous other nonprofits and development cooperations. My focus areas include the environment, climate change, WASH, gender inclusivity, institutional capacity building, peacebuilding, girl child empowerment, education, safety, healthcare, community development, and humanitarian interventions.
Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to sharing knowledge and empowering others. Whether as an author and editor for renowned publications such as the “Knowledge Management Series” or contributing theological insights to “mydailyreflection“, I infuse my work with both wit and wisdom. My passion lies in conducting deep dives into humanitarian efforts, biblical literature, the Eucharist, and communication for development, delivering insightful and impactful content. My in-depth analyses and articles on biblical literature, human communication, cultural studies, and the Eucharist can be found on my blog, with additional scholarly and opinion pieces available on ResearchGate. When it comes to bridging the gap between ‘them and us,’ and ‘us and them,’ I employ cognitive, interpersonal, intercultural, and persuasive approaches to foster engagement, influence, and sustainable impact.
I am equally passionate about architecture, with a particular focus on modern and contemporary design. My interest lies in the innovative combination of materials and textures, skillfully integrating lines, shapes, and forms to craft spaces that evoke comfort, elevate experiences, and inspire a sense of wonder. Influenced by iconic platforms and creators such as Grand Designs, The Local Project, Enes Yilmazer, New Zealand’s Best Homes, Houzz, and Luxury Homes, I am continually drawn to the artistry and creativity of architectural innovation. These inspirations fuel my desire to explore this dynamic field further and immerse myself in the limitless possibilities of architectural design and expression.
With a commitment to knowledge sharing and empowering others, I specialize in helping organizations achieve impactful communication through comprehensive global strategies, diverse content creation, effective event management, reporting, and maintaining brand consistency. My expertise extends to impact evaluation, cultural assimilation, issue resolution, dynamic communications, and continuous team support. Driven by a passion for collaboration, I am dedicated to partnering with forward-thinking organizations to build a more sustainable and equitable world. Let’s create meaningful change together.

“Mr. Luwaga is very proactive and at the same time accommodative of others’ ideas. In our programme, many of the stakeholders were transport specialists and very few of us had any C&V experience. However, Mr. Luwaga adopted a trainer’s approach where he needed us to develop specific messages… he would actually train us behind-the-scenes on how to communicate better. “

Infrastructure Advisor European Union
