The shift towards regenerative agriculture in Uganda’s coffee sector is not only beneficial for the environment but also enhances the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, which has offered a promising model for sustainable coffee production that inspires similar efforts across the region.

The parasitic nature of these agencies and authorities promoted waste and parasitism. The 2016/2017 public resource spending figures showed that agencies and authorities were taking UGX 2.2 trillion and the ministries UGX 2.6 trillion with duplication of responsibilities. The conducted survey indicated that agencies like UCDA were corrupt and wasteful, with officers awarding themselves contracts, supplying poor-quality, overpriced materials, and not delivering on time.

The Eastern Uganda tour will begin in the Bukedi sub-region, where the president will evaluate the progress and impact of the PDM initiatives aimed at economic empowerment and grassroots development together with the local leaders, members of the public, selected model farmers, and the technical staff.

The most efficient services come from specialized institutions whose knowledge and expertise take many decades to learn and achieve. It is unimaginable, for example, to make Mulago Hospital a department in the Ministry of Health or Makerere University a department in the Ministry of Education. The low quality of service delivery in many government departments deserves improvement, not additional work, and throwing away institutions like paper towels is very difficult to understand.
