ONC to Partner With Busoga Kingdom To Empower Youths, Women With Start Up Capital at the Kyabazinga’s Pre-wedding

The Office of the National Chairman NRM Manager Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye ha resolved to leave a landmark in Busoga Kingdom on the pre-wedding party (Kasiki) of the Kyabazinga of Busoga in the line of Wealth and Job Creation.

The UBOS findings have long expressed Busoga Sub-Region among the poverty-stricken regions in Uganda despite having abundant resources fit for Jobs and wealth creation.

The King’s wedding  is an opportunity to usher in a great transformation of the socio-economic livelihood of the peasants and in that line of ideology, the ONC Manager Hajjat Namyalo  resolved to organize an empowerment Kasiki for the Kyabanzinga on the 10th of November, 2023 at Bugembe Stadium in Jinja City.

The ONC Manager targets hundreds of beneficiaries from across the 12 districts that form the Busoga Sub-Region; Jinja City, Jinja District, Mayuge District, Bugiri District, Namayingo District, Bugweri District, Luuka District, Iganga District, Kamuli District, Buyende District, Namutumba District, and Kaliro District.

The beneficiaries are to be supported with Capital Items; welding machines, restaurant equipment, spraying pumps, fertilizers, seedlings, mowing machines, hoes, paver-making machines, etc.

The Capital items are purposed to start up and expand Small and Medium Enterprises with the objective of creating wealth and jobs for the people of Busoga, especially the Youth and Women. The choice of the items is based on their capacity to make quick returns on investment, easy-to-manage techniques, and the wide-ready domestic market in Busoga Sub-Region and Uganda at large.
Empowered people earn the capacity to directly be involved in the money economy which is the prime agenda of this financial year budget 2023/2024.

The Economists have highlighted Uganda’s young population as a prime resource for boosting economic growth and development when it is made to be productive. This economic philosophy tallies with the National Chairman NRM who doubles as the President of the Republic of Uganda HE Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni line of approach to solving unemployment of the Youth which is a global challenge through household empowerment to produce a good or service on the ripe market in Uganda, East Africa, Africa, and World over.

This Empowerment Kasiki project is to be implemented in collaboration with the Busoga Kingdom headed by the Kingdom’s Prime Minister Dr. Joseph Muvawala who is also a renowned senior economist and Executive Director of the National Planning Authority.

The pre-wedding party for the Kyabanzinga is to make an economic revival in Busoga Kingdom that is to create wealth and Jobs for the Youth, Women, and the entire population contributing to growing the Gross Domestic Product of Uganda currently at USD 42 trillion, improve livelihoods of the peasants, and consolidate the economic cohesion of Uganda.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI URGES EUROPEAN INVESTORS TO TAP INTO UGANDA’S ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged European investors to take advantage of Uganda’s economic opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and agriculture, saying investment in productive sectors is key to expanding markets, creating jobs and accelerating economic transformation.    The President made the remarks today at State House Entebbe during a meeting with European Union Ambassadors and investors, where he highlighted Africa’s growing population and expanding market as a major opportunity for European businesses seeking investment and stronger economic partnerships. “This is what we have been advising our European friends to look at, because Africa is a big potential market with its fast-growing population,” he said. President Museveni attributed political instability in some African countries partly to identity-based politics, including tribalism, religious divisions and ideological misunderstandings, as well as a failure to appreciate the role of the private sector in driving economic growth. He said Uganda had learnt from these challenges and emphasised the need for a stable political and economic environment that enables private businesses to invest, expand production and create employment. The President welcomed ongoing and proposed European investments in Uganda, particularly in infrastructure and other productive sectors, saying such projects would strengthen economic links between Uganda and the European market. “All these projects are music to my ears. By constructing these projects here, you are linking the market of Uganda to that of Europe. Why can’t anyone see that?” he asked. On energy, President Museveni said the cost of electricity remained a critical factor in Uganda’s competitiveness, particularly for manufacturers seeking to produce goods at affordable prices. While welcoming private-sector investment in hydropower generation, he called for greater attention to electricity tariffs, arguing that affordable power was essential for industrial expansion and economic growth. He identified affordable electricity, railway transport and accessible financing for productive investments as key priorities for strengthening Uganda’s manufacturing sector. The President cited the Uganda Development Bank as an important source of financing for businesses engaged in productive activities, explaining that the government had retained the institution to support investments capable of expanding production and creating jobs. He also urged the European Investment Bank to channel more financing into strategic infrastructure, particularly railway development, electricity generation and distribution, and selected road projects. On road infrastructure, President Museveni encouraged European investors to explore opportunities in construction and financing models, including tolling arrangements where appropriate. The President also reaffirmed the government’s support for tax incentives aimed at attracting investment, particularly in manufacturing, and emphasised the importance of enabling eligible businesses to benefit from a 10-year tax holiday. ...
