President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has emphasized that under the Parish Development Model (PDM), every household in Uganda must engage in a wealth creation activity in order to get out of poverty.
According to the President, the PDM welcomes all individuals across all sectors of wealth creation, especially commercial agriculture, where every Ugandan should participate and transition from subsistence to money economy.
The President made the remarks on Monday while addressing a meeting about the Parish Development Model at Lusenke village, Gomba district, where he visited Ms. Namutebi Deborah and her husband, Godfrey Lubega, who are PDM beneficiaries involved in poultry and animal husbandry.
In February 2022, the Parish Development Model was launched specifically to transform subsistence households into the money economy.
Every financial year, the government injects Shs 100 million into each parish in Uganda, which is borrowed by households through the parish Saccos.
