Kigezi, Uganda – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has expressed disappointment with leaders and residents of the Kigezi sub-region for prioritizing politics over development initiatives.
He emphasized that the focus should be on wealth creation and economic empowerment, rather than politics, to reduce household poverty.
President Museveni encouraged leaders to support government programs like the Parish Development Model (PDM), which aims to promote economic growth and development at the grassroots level.
The PDM focuses on seven key pillars, including:
Production and Processing: Enhancing agricultural productivity and value addition,
Infrastructure and Economic Services: Improving access to markets, finance, and other essential services, Financial Inclusion: Increasing access to financial services and promoting savings, Social Services: Enhancing access to healthcare, education, and other social services
By supporting initiatives like the PDM, leaders and residents can work together to prioritize economic development and poverty reduction, ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty and achieving sustainable economic growth in the Kigezi sub-region.
End.
