Moyo district has received 280 gadgets from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) to facilitate the implementation of the Parish Development Model (PDM).  

The gadgets, which included 100 tablets, 100 power banks, and 80 chargers, were distributed to PDM Sacco chairpersons and the parish.  

Catherine Asianzo Riri, the Assistant Principal Secretary of Moyo district, who represented the Chief Administrative Officer at the handover, noted that the implementers of PDM had been struggling to complete tasks due to a lack of gadgets.  

Riri believes that the availability of the tablets will improve the performance of the PDM implementers, and urged the users to keep the gadgets well.

Julius Nyerere Ambama, the Assistant Resident District Commissioner of Moyo, while handing over the gadgets to the beneficiaries urged the community to make good use of one million Shillings given to them. 

 

Ambama appealed to leaders to help in changing the mindset of the population to invest the money wisely, to reduce the poverty level in the district.

According to the 2024 census final report, Ma’di sub-region under which Moyo District falls was the best performer in the PDM in Northern Uganda with 23 percent of households already impacted by the program.  

Sam Asusi, the Secretary of Finance, Planning, and Production in Moyo district, commended the implementers of PDM in the district to work even harder as a team, given that they already have the tools to ease their work.

PDM was launched by President Yoweri Museveni in February 2022, as one of the government’s multi-sectoral strategies meant to transform at least 17 million Ugandans in approximately 3.5 million households from a subsistence economy to a money economy. 

The revolving fund goes directly to the SACCO accounts in each parish, from which households can borrow and invest in income-generating activities.
