All selected recruits have been directed to report for the commencement of training on May 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Kabalega Secondary School in Masindi District.

The Authority congratulated all successful candidates and welcomed them to the next phase of preparation for service in wildlife conservation.
“We congratulate all the selected recruits and welcome them to this important next phase of preparation for service in wildlife conservation,” Hangi said.
