President Museveni's visit to Bugisu follows his recent assessment of PDM in the Karamoja and Sebei sub-regions, where he commissioned the National High Altitude Training Centre in Kapchorwa and the Sebei Zonal Industrial Hub to support youth talent and skills development.
Bugisu and Sebei sub-regions are still facing various challenges, including land wrangles, climate change, where landslides and floods recently hit the region andvover 15 lives were lost, HIV/AIDS, and high levels of poverty irrespective of the government’s initiative to initiate programs like PDM, Emyooga, and the 4-acre model in the region. This calls for the leaders to intensify efforts to put an end to such.
As Ugandans adopt social-economic transformation, there is a need to be reminded of the critical role of infrastructure in economic growth, which President Museveni committed to investing in: industrial parks, roads and transportation networks, and energy supply systems.
The seven key growth areas that the government will work on include, but are not limited to, peace and security for the people and their property, transport infrastructure rehabilitation, increasing and following up on wealth creation initiatives such as PDM and Emyooga, improvement on science, technology, and innovation, human capital development through health, education, clean water supply, management of natural disasters, and regional and international commitments.
