President Museveni is set to traverse Sebei sub-region in the next day to assess the progress of the Parish Development Model program .
According to the Presidential Press Unit, Museveni will be in Sebei Sub-Region from December 10 to 12, 2024, in continuation of his Parish Development Model (PDM) performance assessment tour.
“During the tour, the president will visit some beneficiaries, meet stakeholders including various categories of leaders and technical staff, and address a public rally in Kween district,” PPU said in a statement.
The Parish Development Model was launched in 2022 as the last mile strategy for service delivery by government of Uganda for improving incomes and welfare of all Ugandans at the parish level.
The overarching goal of PDM is to attain socioeconomic transformation based on improved productivity on households and enterprises at parish level as the lowest economic planning unit.
It is an extension of the whole-of-government approach to development as envisaged under NDPIII, with the parish as the lowest administrative and operational hub for delivering services closer to the people and hence foster local economic development.
The PDM underlies the spirit of harmonization of government interventions with every MDAs focusing on; delivering services closer to the people; and measurable results at the parish level in order to ensure transformation of the subsistence households into the money economy.
This transformation requires organized, integrated, well-coordinated and results-based efforts.
