Museveni to tour Teso on PDM assessment tour starting Monday

President Museveni is scheduled to visit the Teso sub-region from Monday to Wednesday to assess the performance of the Parish Development Model (PDM).

The development has been confirmed by the Presidential Press Unit (PPU).

"The Presidential Press Unit (PPU) informs the General Public that the President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, will next head to Teso Sub-Region from November 18 to 20, 2024 on his Parish Development Model (PDM) performance assessment tour," PPU stated in a  statement.

According to PPU, during the tour, the President is to meet stakeholders including various categories of leaders and technical staff and address public rallies in the respective districts/Soroti City.

This comes days after the President completed his performance assessment tour on PDM and wealth creation in the Bukedi sub region.

During the tour, the President reiterated his call to the people of Bukedi to embrace commercial agriculture with “ekibaro” in order to transform their livelihoods.

He said this can be done through the 4 acre-model where they can use one acre to grow coffee, the second acre for fruits, the third acre for pasture for dairy cows, and the fourth acre for food crops.

Museveni began PDM assessment tours last year, under the theme: “Wealth creation and Prosperity for all.

The emphasis of these assessment tours is on the Four-Acre Model, Parish Development Model, Emyooga and other Government livelihood Programmes.

So far, the President has traveled to the Acholi, West Nile, Greater Masaka, and Bukedi sub-regions for the same purpose.
