Koboko District’s Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Emmy Mitala, has issued a stern warning to politicians who undermine government initiatives aimed at alleviating poverty nationwide.
He emphasized that despite extensive government efforts to eradicate poverty, some Ugandans continue to choose to remain in impoverished conditions.
Speaking today during an inspection of ongoing training for approximately 1100 beneficiaries of the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) in Koboko District, Mitala highlighted the importance of programs focusing on entrepreneur and business skills.
The training, which is currently underway and facilitated by Enterprise Uganda in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, has drawn participants from Koboko and Yumbe Districts.
The DRDIP, overseen by the Office of the Prime Minister, is a government initiative designed to meet the heightened development needs of districts hosting refugees in Uganda.
It specifically targets both refugees and local host communities affected by the refugee presence, addressing their socio-economic and environmental challenges across fifteen districts.
