PPU: President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has expressed contentment that the Parish Development Model (PDM) has helped rural communities shift away from subsistence-based living towards more diversified, cash-based economic activities, thereby joining the money economy.

The President, who is on a nationwide PDM performance assessment tour in Busoga Sub-Region, visited Mr. Mukasa Eliot, a PDM farmer located at Buwanda village, Nawampiti sub-county in Luuka district.

Mr. Mukasa, who received Shs. 1 million in the first phase of 2022/2023, ventured into commercial farming, focusing on passion fruits and vegetables, and later bought goats and some iron sheets for his house.

The president give Mukasa Shs.10 million to buy one acre of land at Shs. 5 million and the remaining Shs. 5 million to buy more goats. He also added him Shs. 6 million to buy a motorcycle to transport his goods.

The President also gave Shs. 10 million each to 10 other farmers.
