Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The government kicked off the disbursement of Parish Development Model cash to beneficiaries around the world.

The disbursement of the PDM cash was launched by the Vice President, Jessica Alupo on Wednesday last week in Kayunga district where money was sent directly to four SACCOs.

Alupo however noted that there is a need to be more organized in awakening the communities for increased production and productivity in both on-farm and off-farm value chain activities for profit.

“Therefore, our being here today and those that may not be here physically, both agree that the Parish Development Model advances the historical mission of NRM and the gospel of promoting commercial agricultural production, productivity, value addition, and marketing for better economic well-being and livelihoods of our people,” Alupo said.

The Vice President however warned against stealing and misusing the PDM cash.

The national programme coordinator -Dennis Galabuzi Ssozi said that they profile the intended beneficiary to find out how much land they sit on, and their income status, before analysing whether one is a subsistence household or not by using an artificial intelligence system.
