Museveni urges Busoga to embrace wealth creation progr

________________ President Yoweri Museveni has urged Busoga communities to embrace wealth-creation programmes and adopt productive forms of agriculture suited to the size of their landholdings as a means of overcoming household poverty. The President made the call on Wednesday, September 23, while officiating at the thanksgiving ceremony of the Minister for the Presidency and Budiope West Member of Parliament, Babirye Milly Babalanda, at Iringa Township Primary School in Nkondo sub-county, Buyende District. Land fragmentation, the President says, remains one of the major challenges affecting household incomes in Busoga, noting that successive generations often inherit increasingly smaller portions of land, making it difficult for families to achieve economic security through conventional farming. He said the NRM Government had, since the 1996 manifesto, promoted approaches such as the Four-Acre Model to help households maximise income from limited land through a combination of productive enterprises.
