President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has announced plans to increase funding for the Parish Development Model (PDM), with a focus on urban and town parishes where the population density and number of potential beneficiaries are significantly higher than in rural areas.
Under the current framework, each parish receives UGX 100 million annually, intended to support 100 households with UGX 1 million each for income-generating activities.
The President revealed that this allocation is just the starting point, with increased funding expected soon, especially for urban parishes, acknowledging that the current uniform funding allocation may not be equitable, especially in urban settings where needs are greater.
The President made the remarks on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, as he concluded the third day of his PDM assessment tour of Wakiso District.
