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.
